to High Salaries.
AN APPROPRIATION TABLED.
:Farwell Mills Will Open Monday-The
Railroad Steals Land From the City.

The Common Council met last night
and their action on the proposition OF
tie Board to increase the salaries OF the
Inspector of Buildings and the Superin-
tendent of Highways furthered the repu-
tation that they haye 30 far made OF
strict economy. It Will be a very merito-
rious proposition In the line OF finances
that receives the assent OF the Common
Council. When these two propositions
were put to a vote not a single member
voted IN the affirmative. IL there was
member who favored the increase he dld
not have the courage TO make II manifest
by saying aye. The ordinance appropriat-
ING $3.50 more for the care and repair OF
Jenks Park was slso laid on the table
until the next meeting. Considerable op-
position on this appropriation was mani
fest. There seems to be feeling In the
council that enough money has already
been voted TO hire "A man, and start the
Improvement OF the park, and that this
work ought to have been commenced sew
erai weeks ago. II anyone has been de-
laying this work with the hope OF forcing
the extra appropriation they have pur-
sued entirely the wrong course. me
Common Council Is NOT composed OF
men on whom any such tactics would
have effect. The manifestation OF any
such rspirit will arouse the combative
disposition of almost every member OF
the council. They are good body OF
men to reason with but a hard lot to
bluster Mt or fasten halter to.
Common Council.
The Common Council met ut S:15. In
the absence of President Fish, who Is at
Newport, Mr.. Washburn presided.
The resolution appropriating I'll, 900 to
complete the Washington street school
house was laid on the table. This was
done on the advice Of Mr.. Coperthwatte
who said that the original contract for
this building was made with the town
OF Lincoln and that under the act OF the
division OF the town that the old town
was to finish the contract and pay the
bills.
Mr.. Fales presented plan OF sthe City
Engineers showing that the railroad
company had fenced In a triangular
piece on the corner OF Railroad and
Foundry streets which belonged to the
city. Mr.. Fales will consult the City So
licitor and see what can be done to recover
the property.
The resolution to increase the salary OF
the Building Inspector which came from
the Aldermen was unanimously refused
concurrence. The same action was taken
in reference to the resolution from the
Board to increase the salary OF the super
intendent of Highways from $SS to $l ,OOo.
The resolution from the Board to ap-
propriate $3.50 more for jerks Park was
laid on the table. Messrs. Fales, Tonton
and Cowperth waite spoke In favor OF the
a,xI otrn U1u
Mr.. Mccartney, who did not think that
the proposed repairs on the basins would be
of a permanent nature. He did not believe
in appropriating any more money for the
park, az additional money was needed for
the highways and he was afraid that too
liberal course of appropriations would
cause the town debt to ba increased in
stead of reduced.
Farwell Mills VIII Open.
The Farwell mills will open its doors
next Monday for the returh OF the weav-
ers who wish to 60 to WORK. They do not
anticipate that many will retnrnlon that
day, as most OF the help have left town,
but think that in the course OF a month
that most the old help will be at work
again. The pay will be the same as at the
time Of closing the mill, under which the
weavers averaged over $t1 per week.
