Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1896-02-05

Regarding the outstanding bin due
Adams for concreting, the report says
..No person has seen fit to make any
charges, or to request any report upon
this subject. do not feels it to be my
duty to go out upon the street seeking for
charges against any person, and therefore
make no report upon this subject"
The New BaiIiffs.
So far four officers have been elected.
The moderator, George A. Weston, was
elected at the first meeting without serious
opposition. Mr. Weston is an able lawyer,
gentleman of fine social qualities, is
thoroughly posted in parliamentary usages,
and whenever honored with position of
trust by his fellow citizens has proved him
self a conscientious and Woodworking Off
cial.
j. c. Day is the well-known dry goods
merchant Of the firm of j. c. Day & Co.,
and his hustling, aggressive business meth
DDS are well known to all. He was on the
board of bailiffs in 1SS4-5-6-7-S and in
1912, and takes up his official duties with
wealth Of experience that will prove Of
assistance to his co-bailiffs, and of benefit
to the corporation he serves.
G.. A. Moore is a member of the firm of
John I. Moore e. Son, paper manufactu-
rers. Mr.. Moore is young man of ster-
ing business qualities, and is universally
liked. We prophesy that he will prove
the right man in the right place.
j. 0. Spring has lived in Bellows Falls
since 1880, and is contractor and builder
Of lifelong experience. Mr.. Spring is a
man of sound ideas and large common
sense. He has always conducted his own
business well, and this is a pretty good
criterion as to how he will conduct the
business ofthe corporation.
The Next Meeting.
The business OF the annual meeting is
by no means completed, nor is the most
important part Of it disposed Of. There
remain to be elected three fire wardens,
three water commissioners, treasurer,
collector Of taxes, three auditors, and a
superintendent Of streets and sewers. The
present incumbents Of these offices are
Fire wardens, A. II. Thompson, A. Cool
idge, G.. l.. Wheeler water commissioners
. c.. S. Moore, F. H. Hobson, A. Coolidge
treasurer, G. E. Capron; collector OF taxes
{ John w. Buemond; auditors, u. II. All
bee, B. Cannon, Jr., D. III. Cray; street
commissioner, G. S. Moore. 1t is now
, thought that all these officials will be
reelected without opposition.
There are II more remaining articles il
the warrant to be disposed of, and it il
highly important that there should be {
good attendance at the next meeting. TIL,
question of what the tax rate shall be mus
be decided Two Of the retired bailil1
recommended levy Of 20 cents; this i
on the ground that money can be takel
from the street department and applied t.
the electric light bills. The minorit,
:, report submits figures to show that this i
too low levy. 1t will devolve upon tn
voters next Monday night to determine til
levy and say. what shall be the policy i
the future.
r Notes.
e Printed ballots were used almost wholly
d 81, 900 in all were printed.
S AT each meeting the corporation pay
: S15 for the use of the opera house. Abol
d S12 of this, however, the corporation {
is part of the town, pays to itself.
The new bailiffs appoint the board {
n health and the police force. Chief A. f
/ Thompson is sure of a reappointment fc
e he has proved an efficient officer, just ii
d man for the place.
! A. L. Adams was down from Rutlan
|. Monday night, but Pike from Lancaste
I. was not seen.
G. S. Moore naturally feels well please
@ over the result of the investigation.
