About That Fourth Of July
Appropriation.
FARWELL MILLS MATTER.
'Why Not Have Band Concerts at the
Park-Otber News.

The patriotic citizens OF this city are
awaiting with great deal OF Interest the
disposition of the resolution appropriat-
ing $500 for the celebration OF Americas
natal holiday which the City Council SO
generously passed at a recent meeting,
which Is considered comparatively
small sum to appropriate, when the fact
Is taken into consideration that there are
bands of music to hire, fireworks to buy,
and hacks to be purchased for invited
guests and the venerable city govern
ment and other miscellaneous expendi-
lures OF the many made.
But this being the frst Observance OF
the Fourth OF July by the smallest city In
the smallest State there Is no doubt but
what the very generous and philanthropic
residents of this city will contribute by
solicitation $500 or more; and this accom-
plished, and His Honor Mayor Moies sign
ing the bill all will be clear sailing with
a competent committee selected.
Whatever arrangements are made Will
have to be commenced very soon as the
Fourth In only three weeks ahead, and the
sooner plans are formulated the better
celebration will be had.
While the economic endeavors OF the
City Council are heartily appreciated by
the residents of the city there seems TO DC
no good reason why the Mayor hesitates
TO sign the resolution. Certainly IL the
members OF the city government can DC
trusted with the affairs OF the municipal.
ity they are fully competent to be trusted
with the arrangements OF celebration OF
the Fourth. The fact that the resolution
does not state who the committee shall be
ie no good reason why 1t should be re-
1ected bJ the Mayor. II anyone Is look
ing for honor In the matter OF a celebra-
tion 1t Is to be hoped that 1t will be aban-
doned and all join hands In making the
frst celebration gigantic success, and
one that will In years to come be looked
back at with pride.
At theIFarweli:NIilis.
1t Is reported from an authentic source
that the ranks of the weavers who re-
turned to work at the Farwell worsted
mills In this city had been augmented
considerably. Both sides are very reticent
and little or no Information can be drawn
from either Operatives or the company.
or course the effects OF the strike are real
lied by the storekeepers In the vicinity;
that is, financially; further than this no
one would ever know that strike was on.
The best OF order Is maintained by the
operatives, and the police have 10 more
to do than in times OF peace. The majority
of the strikers will In all probability re-
main out until the labor difficulties are
settled In Olneyville, as the motive OF the
strikers Is to cripple the mills In that
place and at the Farweil mills.
VIII the Band Play?

park is going on nicely, and that very
pleasant spot for recreation IS beginning to
have quite an inviting appearance, which
is highly commendable to those who had
the work in charge, and as the improve
ments are nearing completion causes one
to think how the park and It's many at
fractions can be best appreciated by the
residents of the city. 1t Is thought that
the City Council should consider the :plan
OF entertaining the many visitors at the
park by an occasional band concert.
