Inc Lincoln IOWn council was an CXs
cited body for quite while yesterday.
There was "big" discussion AZ To tho
proper method OF spending that highway
appropriation OF $4,000. Councilman
Comstock fought hard for a division OF
the spoils in the several districts and the
making OF every Councilman a "little
king" In Its expenditure. He was sup
ported by Councilman Jordan, who
wanted To be able to say who should cart
dirt on the Lonsdaie roads without any
interference from any other member of
this august body or any other meddle-
some person.
Lockwood Wins.
Councilman Lockwood led the attack on
the old system and fought valiantly for
the abolition OF the old "deestrict" sys-
tenn Of caring for the highways, and was
supported by Councilmen Schiller, Smith
| and Savage, and on a hand vote II was
finally voted TO z to spend the money
without regard TO district lines.
This means that hereafter the entire
Council Will be the Committee on High
ways, and all work to be done must be
done by order OF the Council. II will
undoubtedly lead To the election OF
town with the present surveyors as bosses
or second hands in their several localities.
None, Was Wasted.
The charge was openly made that "a
large part Of the highway appropriation
was wasted In past years, paying the
highway surveyor In some OF those coun-
try districts $3.50 per day looking after
the laborious operations OF two men and
one cart.
Mr.. lockwood considers he has won a
signal victory for good roads, while Mr..
Comstock says he will have his rights or
know why.
jerks Park.
The matter OF caring for jerks Park for
which the taxpayers refused to make any
appropriation was referred to the com
mittee on town property so that IL might
be watered To keep the grass from burn
ing. One country member said he wished
Vt would burn up and blow away as II was
nothing but bill OF expense.
The question OF having a policeman
there on Sundays was discussed and q
nally left to the Committee on Police at
ter some suggestions that the specials be
employed In their tour.
The claim OF the Darling est ate was
amicsbly adjusted. The claim was for
u 900 and the town is to pay si30 and re-
ceive back fl0i In sewer assessments.

What to do with q street bothered the
Council for quite while but II was finally
referred to the Town Engineer TO bring In

The committee on High street seems to
be getting into deeper water every day

There was long discussion over It's
progress and IT was finally continued for
the Solicitor to draw up an agreement.
The New school.
The School Committee was authorized
to select such portion of "Dwyer's Pond
for the now school on Washington street
as II deems necessary.
All Over Dog.
The claim OF Caleb b. Parker for fowls
killed by dogs wss adjusted by the ap.
praiser at $50. A long controversy ensued
as To why this could not be charged to
Pawtucket as the dog, although belong
Ing In Saylesyille, was licensed In Paw
tucket. rhe Council finally decided to
pay the claim aud then voted to have the
Town Sergeant prosecute the owner OF
the day.
Little Tilt.
Mr.. lockwood brought up the question
OF more money for the stone delivered
at the crushers. Pswtucket was paying
81 cents ton and he thought Lincoln
should do the same.
MIR. Schiller said they could get all they
wanted for 80 cents, what they are now
paying.
Mr.. Lockwood replied somewhat tartIly
that no doubt he could get men for one
dollar day out he did not think Il good
Tor the town To crowd them down to that
price. No action was taken.

avenue was brought up but was not acted
upon.
