Nonuty eNculnB HeAt NJ U clock, NJ tue
District Court room In the Town Hall
will be held the annual appropriation
meeting OF the taxpayers OF the Central
Falls Fire District. Unlike the dis, rict
election OF officers this meeting enjoys the
distinction OF being lively and where the
party I'm power makes recommendations
and the opponents attempt to defeat them.
The faction fights go on at random at
these meetings, and there is sport enough
TO keep the voters awake.
The Temperance Hall gathering Is still
fresh I'm the minis of those who were
"chIlled." and partly for this and other
reasons Monday nights meeting is called
at the place mentioned above. Col. Free
man intimates that he will be there II
health permits, and IL he occupies the
moderator's chair he will not permit OF
any taxpayer interfering with his busi-
ness as the presiding official. These meet
ings are of vital Importance to every tax
payer, who should attend and cast his
vote accor ding to his own convictions.
Now that the Board OF Firewards has
been elected and organized 1t remains
with the taxpayers to decide Mt this meet
Ing the amount OF money that shall be
appropriated for each department. IL
was a most excellent idea Of the old board
to issue the annual reports previous to
Monday nights meeting. II gives the
voters better understanding OF
the sums required. For the benefit of the
citizens who are not I'm possession OF
copy of the report the amounts as recon-
mended are given below for each depart
ment: Police, $500; fire, $500; water
works, q, 900; street lights, $500; public
library, 600; Cross street building, $500;
sinking fund, 1900; interest on bonds
and floating debt, $500; miscel laneous
accounts, q, 900. Another important rec
ommendation is that tax of at least 40
cents on the 900 valuation be levied to
meet the above estimates.
