questions.
The seleetmen didn't appear SO turning
to the treasurer of the past year, Stephen
Seaman, Mr.. Haskell addressed to
him numerous questions in regard to
errors in bookkeeping which he said were
misleading statements. In response TO
one question regarding an error in the
table of notes due by the town the treas
urer replied:
"That's evidently missprint."

Mr.. haskell inquired in regard to some
bonds charged up as having teen paid in
funds, which, he said, were only paid
with new bonds. The treasurer explained
that those were bonds of the old town of
Cape Eliza beth and that the account was
all right when it was understood, but his
exulapsnation did not suit MIR. Haskell
and the crowd applauded when he so
expressed himself.
stThe treasurer labors hard" said MIR.
Haskell, "but he can't explain it. This
thing ia shameful. 3"
sEHenry F. q. Jersey waited to know
what had become of the money if bonds
had been retired by issuing new bonds
instead of cash as the report indicated.
Nobody seemed to want to answer this
question.
B. B. Small was another citizen WHO
wanted to know about the money. "Thia
is q terribly loose and disgraceful way Of
doing business said Mr.. Small. "The
treasurer will pay out any amount of
money to anyone if one man out of three

The excitement began with the defeat
of Andrew j. Cash for selectman by
Joseph r. Chaplain by vote of 2S5 to
1928. This was an adjourned election.
The first article In the warrant called
for action on the report Of the selentmen
who are overseers of the poor and asses
sors, and the town treasurer.
This WAS hardly read by the moderator
when Thomas B. Haskell, ESQ.,. jumped
to his fest. Every body was provided
with printed copy of the reports and
as Mr.. Haskell talked he called attention
to various pages and items in the several
reports. He said in substance, among
other things:
Since the organization of the old town
in 1865, have never known report TO
be presented here, so full of evidences of
FLAGRANT EXTRAVs CANOES.
One of our greatest statesmen has de-
clared that "public Office is a public
trust" but this good maxim apparently
has not entered the minds of our last
board of selectmen, or rather two of
them. wish to say that in any criti-
cIsms shall make | do not include
Selectman Joseph Chaplin who was
in minority and out-voted always by
Messrs. Dyer and Cash. Apparently the
seleotmen kept no account of how they
were spending money but went ahead
Unfortunately blowing money right
and left and paying the bills IS they
came along. When they came to closing
up accounts they must have been per-
fectly amazed at their own extravaganoe.
There has not been throughout the whole
term of their sci vice the slightest at
tempt at prudence or economy. They
did not dare put all their extravagances
in their report. A Sc, goo deficiency would
not have staggered them but when they
found it had leaped to $4,000, even they
were paralyzed. They have paid bills
without any regard of economy or
business. Here have sample one:
