The New Bailiffs.

That the new board of bailiffs elected
Monday evening is strong one is conced-
ed by all. 1t is the general opinion that
all three are gentlemen who to the best Of
their ability will conserve the interests OF
the corporation. They are men of mature
judgment and expert need in affairs, and
have had more or less to do with the bust
ness of the town and corporation.
G. E. Howard is the junior member Of
the well known firm of l.. G. & C.. E.
Howard, dealers in hardware, and for sew
eral years has been one Of the leading bus
mess men of Bellows Falls. The only Of
fee he has ever held was that OF the village
treasurer, bis period of Office extending
over nine years; he turned over the office
to the present incumbent, G. E. Capron, in
1894. While no man is perfect enough to
Please all, his numerous friends expect, SC
far as his influ. nee goes, a thorough and
business like administration of corporation
affairs.
The second bailiff, DR.. o. M. George, is
one of the older residents OF the place, and
is No strargar to this office, having served
three terms before He has also been town
selectman and held minor town and village
offices, always with credit to himself and
the satisfaction of bis supporters.

CORPORATION MEETING.

Elect Bailiffs and Two Fire Wardens and
20 Home-A. H. Brown Fires Hot Shot
Meet Again Next Monday Night
The annual corporation meeting Mon
day evening filed the lower part of the
opera house nearly to its capacity. A large
number present were not voters, but were
present out Of curiosity, and because they
expected to see little fun and in this ex-
pectation they were not entirely disap-
pointed.
Promptly at Z. 80 the meeting was raped
to order by George A. Weston who asked
for nominations for moderator for the
coming year. Mr.. Weston was chosen
his own successor by reclamation.
A.. II. Brown on Water commissioners.
Under article II OF the warrant to hear
reports and take action thereon, G. H.
Bsbbitt, Jr., moved accept and adopt
the several reports. A. H. Brown got the
floor and called the attention of the meet
ing to the several amounts paid George B,
Allbee as water commissioner. The bail
ifs had allowed him $3.50 per day when
there is q vote on record to the effect that
water commissioners shall be paid only
$3.50 per day. Mr.. Brown wanted the
bailiffs to give an explanation, and moved
to recommit the report to the auditors. j.
R. Blood moved to accept and adopt all
the report except the items ferring to
Mr.. Allbee as water commissioner. w.
H. Taylor urged the ba Lifts TO make an
explanation. F. H. Babbitt said that be
had left the matter of choosing water
commissioner to succeed G.. S Moore, re.
signed, to his colleagues on the board Of
baiiffs and they chose George B. Allbee.
He said that he was not aware that the
compensation of water commissioner was
limited to so 81 per day. Mr.. Allbee had
been paid the regular wages of plumber.
H. D Ryder ask. d the Il rk to read the
record covering the compensation Of vii
lage officers. The record showed that on
April Is, 1895, at special meeting it was
voted to allow street commissioner and
water commissioner 50 so per day for
time actusly spent. J. o. Spring also
said that he was ignorant of any such vote
on record Mr.. Brown thought the bail
ifs ought not to plead ignorance, and that
no business man would run his own bust.
ness at loose ends in that way. q H. ALL
bee said he did not favor recommiting to
the auditors, as the auditors had done al
they could already. H B Davis moved
to lay the report on the table and the
motion carried.
Mr.. Brown, who had carefully looked in.
to the compensation allowed Mr.. Allbae,
showed that be had ben over-paid $50 Is
during the year. that is S52 rs more than
be would have received at the rate Of
% so per day he also showed that Arthur
c. olldge, the other water commissioner,
had been paid only $3.50. There is, how.
ev,r, two sides to this issue. MIR. Allhee
says that nearly all the time for which he
drew pay as commissioner was spent in
actual work at plumbing tor which the cor
poration had always paid So or 40 cents an
hour az d in some instances supplied one
or two helpers. Had he not ben plumb
