all but missed the highly interesting
gathering of our local kickers last night
for searched in all their old haunts at
the usual hours but there was no trace
of this kindergarten of city officials, but
just as the clock was striking the hour
of midnight, | saw few of the gang
clustered around the corner with the
Boss stationed on top of the new pole
Just erected near the National Bank by
the Telephone company. 1 remained
near the water tub and was an interest
ed auditor Of the proceedings. In the
opening portion of the meeting, the Boss
called on newly admitted member to
state his opinion of the City Water qucs-
ton, but just then some one rang the
fire alarm, and the would be orator TAX
ing the hint that he was about to speak
on chestnut remained silent. But the
Boss had other subjects which demand
ed attention and so this water business
was allowed to take short rest 10 await
the return Of the warriors on both sides.
The question of park improvements
claimed the attention of the club. The
Boss asked the question ifany one knew
whether or not the Woman's Federation
had been told they could not put foun-
tain in the park unless the water was
taken from the city supply. This was
answered in the affirmative by the club
secretary and was greeted with Kisses
by some of those present.
Now the Inspector is not of the official
circle and never was, so of course what
he says on this subject must be only a
private opinion publicly expressed, but
no man ever told the Woman's Fedora
lion that the fountain which they are to
give to the city must be one in which
only city water should be used. This is
bold challenge and if any one has other
evidence they should not fail to "driye
the Inspector into his hole" But this
was not the important question of the
evening, one of the weak voiced fellows
said he had just heard the rumor that
there Was a move on foot TO have tho
CITY officials and the officials of the town
VI barre construct new roadway from
Aver street on that side of the river nm
beyond Slab city, there to connect with
the East Barre highway. The club
members all at once commenced to give
their opinions in regard to the matter
anu from various sources it was learn
Ell that the club were about evenly
divided on the question, but those who
favored the new road did succeed in
having committee appointed to wait on
The town and city officials in regard to
the matter. Another question that ex.
N
cited considerable discussion was ,ho
question of having the city cbarter
amended at the next session of the l.r;s
lature so that we could have both ,
common council and a board of old.r
men. Now this was Just the KEY for
red hot discussion because tho momho..
all saw either chance for Office IN ~
proposed change or else those who w ORC
against a sedond branch to the Officials
Vi 'he city, could see in the distance
more injunctions, and PERTAINS m.n,,

compelled to pay for, as the two bod;o.
