FRENEY FOR ECONOMY.

Woburn, Jan 3-The Woburn city
government was inaugurated this after
noon. The Rev. James Kilday of St.
Charles Church offered prayer, and the
oath was administered to Mayor Feeney
by City Clerk John H. Finn. The eXer-
cfses were of an interesting nature, and
the city is now governed by the require
rnents Of a new charter.
The board Of aldermen organized by
electing William S. Davis president and
John H. Finn clerk. Mr.. Finn was also
elected city clerk and John Buck re-
elected treasurer.
Mayor Feeney in his address said
among other things:
On Jan l, 1897, the borrowing capaci-
ty of the city was S797S.S6. The borrow
ing capacity of the city today is $780,
97S. SO. On Jan. /, 1897, the municipal
debt of the city was s120, 400. The munich
pal debt of the city today is $11S400 The
sewer debt has been reduced during the
past year $4,000.
The net city debt Jan. 1, 1898, is $419,-
roo The reduction is $4,000
The borrowing capacity of the city has
been somewhat increased, but the ne
cessity Of rigid economy cannot be too
strongly emphasized.
Additional school communications are
necessary. 1 advise that they be Sc
cured.

RAISE SALOON LICENSES.

Gloucester, Jan. 3.-The inaugural ex-
ercises at city hall this morning We're
devoid Of any special interest. The prin-
cipal interest OF the day centred in the
election of the president Of the common
council, Samuel D. Hildretn being elect
ed, receiving IA votes to 10 for eX-Presi-
dent Charles d. Story. James r. Jeffrey
was elected clerk and David H. Lane
page
Mayor Davis, in his inaugural said;
ITO increase our population and MATER
ial prosperity, we must invite new in
dustries and expand old ones.
We must attract more summer people
and retain the present ones. To do this,
we must keep abreast of the times and
have improvements, good roads, make
our city attractive, and, withal, we must
have a reasonable scale of taxation.
1T being the consensus of opinion
that, in view of the larger fishing fleet
that will center here, there will be a
greater volume of trade throughout the
city, and that the saloons win receive a
generous share; having in mind the
scramble for liquor licenses in the past,
and that a larger number than ever are
going to apply, suggest that the price
Of licenses be advanced to the sum Of
$250O This will materially increase the
receipts of the city"

RAILWAY COMPANIES SHOULD
PAY

Holyoke, Mass, Jan. S.--NIichael Con-
nors was inaugurated as mayor today.
There was very large crowd present
and the mayor was loudly applauded
after he had taken the oath The mayor
in his address recommended that the
street railway company be required to
pay for such further privileges as they
may desire; also that the city may gain
something from granting privileges. He
endorsed the vote Of the citizens in de-
Gliding to adopt municipal lighting, and
asked the aldermen to give him author
ity to appoint a committee of citizens
to act with the city government in buy
Ing the plant of the water power COM
pany. He has learned that 1t will prob.
ably be necessary to buy both the gas
and electric lighting plants, and he real
ICES that it will require skill to meet the
problem Of paying for the plants.

For coon STREETS.

Springfield, Jan. 3.--Mayor Dickinson,
in his inaugural address, said in part:
There is probably no department Of
the city that is more important than
that pertaining to the streets and high
ways Good roads leading 10 adjoining
cities and towns and well-payed or
macadamized streets in the business
and residence portion of the city, tend
to increase business, make property
more valuable and add materially ia
the comfort and convenience of the cit
izen or the casual visitor A year age
l expressed the opinion that macadam
wel laid is about the best material that
can be found for residence streets. I am
free to say that the experience of last
year has tended to strengthen my be.
lief in that direction, and with proper
care in rolling and putting in, macadan
will last for a long time and give ex.
cellent service"

physician, but by two others that were
called in. They said that if did recover

FOR MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS

Taunton, Jan. S,-The Inauguration Of
Mayor Nathaniel J. W. Fisk occurred in
city hall at 10 o'clock today.
Mayor Fish spoke Of the i'm
portance Of good roads, but owing to
the necessity of economy, counseled the
emitting OF the usual large appropria-
tion FOR permanent improvements this
year. He faVatN the placing of wires
underground, and thinks that the public
interests should be regarded in the
giving Of public franchises. The city
began the experiment of municipal
lighting July i, 1897, and a good show
ing is made in the financial statement.
The cost is much lower and the streets
are better lighted. He recommends the
passage of an ordinance regulating the
carrying and delivery Of handbills in
the public streets, and prohibiting the
promiscuous throwing of paper and
other trash into the street, and also an
ordinance regulating a custom Of wash
ing windows on the main thoroughfares
without regard to the rights Of The gem
eral public.

inaugural said, among other things!
my first recommendation to you, and
the only one that l shah make today, is
the adoption Of Watch-word for this
administration. Let that watch-word
be this: Efficiency and rigid economy
Explained briefly, this meansi Eff1cien-
cy as the test for appointment tc or
retention in office and rigid economy
in the expenditure of the city's money.
AS most striking economy, I will call
your attention to the narrow margin be-
tween the city's indebtedness and the
lawful limit of its indebtedness. After
deducing water loans, sinking funds,
and amounts exempted by the legisla-
ture, the limit Of Indebtedness which
the city may incur, as provided by law,
is $1,737 294.45. The total city debt which
applies to this limit, is 81. 54S 17719 This
leaves margin of only $1S9, 05726
