TOWN MEETINGS TODAY.
Thirty-six Worcester County Towns will
Transact Yearly Business.

Today 36 Worcester county towns will
face "Mr. Moderator" and exercise their
rights as citizens and prepare for the well
fare of their towns for the coming year.
In many of the towns there is unusual in
terest, as has already been outlined in the
these cases a very large vote will be
brought out. At the 18th hour the politi-
clans in some Of the towns began vigorous
work to out-do one another, and it is like
ly that some surprises will be sprung. At
Clinton there is lively contest, and Sat
urday and Sunday the representatives of
the different factions in local politics were
busy in support of their various candi-
dates and schemes.
At Leicester, Sunday it seemed a fore
gone conclusion that the opposition to the
old board of seiectmen had not developed
sufficient strength to unseat the present
hot contest on for the election of a school
committee, and the Leicester Academy
question will undoubtedly enter largely
into the discussions of the day
AT Uxbridge the contest seems to be
wholly with the license and no-license peo-
pie, and it is generally thought that the
no-license people vial win the day.
The signing of the franchise for the
Worcester Consolidated Street Railway by
the Grafton board of selectmen removes
practically one of the issues which was of
friends of the present board will undoubt-
edly give them faithful support at the
polls today. There are several other towns
where there is a contest of more or less
moment, and the Spy, Tuesday morning,

is not known, although it will probably
he considerable Clarence Sumner made
his first appearance in the selectmen's
room last evening since his serious Ill
ness last fall, and at the early hour OF
1915 the board retired with the self-as-
surance that the last hours Of their Of
fetal life had been Of more than ordin-
airy value to the community.
With the greatest probability of Ital-
ian camps on its borders and the usual
incidents which accompany those bands
Grafton will not be a dead town the
coming summer. Far from it.
CULLED FROM REPORT.
The annual town report, a document
of 14O pages, made its appearance in
town last evening, and from it the fol-
lowing is culled: Net debt Of the town
reduced from S59,575.26 to S56,69O.54 max
ing the town in a better financial con-
dition by $2SS4.72 than it was year
ago. Appropriations for all purposes by
the selectment, $50, $50; rent from town
hall including stores, etc, $751;; expen-
ditures on state road account, $5O25.S3;
personal property assessed, $6S7, ,465; to-
tai real estate assessed, $1,7oS,O00; eX-
penditures of the overseers of the poor,
$9671 II, $417S67 of which was for the
almshouse poor and $16422o for out
door poor, and $449.2S as reimbursement

fees to the central district court" / am
unable to determine but, however the
sum was obtained, it is not correct Dur
ing the year 1894 the liquor officers of
the town were c. II. Smith and F. r.
Johnson, and every warrant returned to
the central district court was procured
by them with the exception Of one pro-
cured ty Deputy Sheriff James Early.
The search warrants procured by Mr.,
Smith and returned by him show that
his fees amounted to $S6.S9. The ball
ance of the sum of $131.40, as per town
report for year ending March l, 1895,
page 19, was on account of other than
liquor cases. Granting that the sum Of
$l20.40 which he received for police work
that year was for services as liquor Off
Ger, which is more than fair to the per-
son quoted, as some, if not all, was for
other police work, we find the following
sums paid for services in liquor cases:
c. H. Smith, $120,40; James Early, ST;
f. R. Johnson, $41S.49; F. H. Baldwin,
$3.50; c. HI. Smith, court fees, $S6.S9;
total, $66S.28, a sum considerably short
of the sum quoted. AS a result of this
expenditure four convictions for illegal
liquor keeping were secured, twice as
many as stated by Selectman H. w.
Hakes in an accredited interview pub
lished in the Worcester Telegram, dated
Feb. 16, 1898, and the fines amounting to
$780, were received by the town. The
last fine of $50 was paid after the board
which expended the money had retired
from office, as the offender ran away
and was not captured for some time.
Two other cases went to the superior
court, where one was acquitted and the
other case was placed on file. One other
case was the result of a personal COM
plaint, and therefore should not be
credited to the work of the liquor Off
GERS. 1t is fair to Mr.. Smith to say that
out of the sum he received for court fees
in liquor cases, he paid those who assist
ed him, as did Mr.. Early.
will make no comment upon the ma
licious and reckless statements of Tax
payer attacking the official honesty Of
every person intrusted with the care of
the 5000, which they wished people to in
fer had been dishonesty disposed of,
believing that the foregoing facts are a
sufficient refutation Of the attack and
that every fair-minded person will east
ly perceive the animus which inspired it,
and condemn it as it deserves.

cows and three oxen have been con-
demned during the past year. of which
3S were condemned by the commission

thirty condemned but not tested by the
tuberculin test,
The librarians report shows the whole
number of books delivered during the
past year to have been 34,214 of which
29,SS0 were delivered in the centre and
43S4 in the villages. The treasurer's re-
port of the library shows $10519S ex-
pended during the past year.
The financial report of the public
schools shows the total expenses to have
been $17. 1851 The average cost per
pupil has been $22 so, or 91s per cent
less than the average for the state dur
ing the preceding year. In his report,
superintendent Stanley Fl. Holmes calls
especial attention to the defective ven
tilation of the school rooms, and cites
the Saundersville building as being in
the greatest need of Immediate atten-
tion. The high school comes in for its
share of condemnation, and the report
states that the building will not com
fortably accommodate more than 80 pu
pills, while present indications are that
from lis to 125 will desire to attend at
the opening of the next school year.
Three ways of solving the high school
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-03-07

problem are suggested: First, by hiring
an additional room, which would cause
a division of the school, and be posi-
tive injury TO its work, standing and
tone. Second, by building a new school
house. at a cost of from So, 900 to $50, 900:
and third, by remodeling the present
building. at about one-fourth the cost
Of new building, By the last means,
the report states, sit might serve the
needs of high school for a number of
years to come"
A CURFEW FOR GRAFTON.
The scenes common to be seen on our
streets have so impressed the school SUI
perfntendent, that in his report he
strongly suggests the advisability of a
curfew bell to be rung at 8 o'clock in
the winter and at in the summer
One paragraph of this section of the
report reads: "If irresponsible parents
do not exercise proper care in keeping
their, children off the streets at night
the public at least has a right to know
where the children are after q reason
able hour, and protect itself against the
growing spirit of hoodlunism, for which
this parental neglect is directly re-
sponsible" The curfew as suggested
applies only to those under Is years OF
age. The report mentions several OF
over 300 towns and cities where the cur
few has been adopted and is working
satisfactorily. The report closes with:
"Our town ought to be an ideal one, and
this custom, old but good, would, l be-
j lieve, if adopted, tend to elevate still
higher the social and moral standing of
our community
The temperance people seem to have
taken a year off, as far as working in
the campaign is concerned, but at the
! polls tomorrow night the result Of their
silence may be accounted for.

LOOKED LIKE ROBBERY.
Broken Window in C. r. Green's Res
taurant Creates Excitement.

North Brookfleld, March 6.-There was
quite a ripple of excitement in town this
morning, caused by report that Chas.
R. GREEN'S lunch room on Summer
street had been robbed. The cause of
the report was that early risers discov-
cred the fact that a large window in the
door of the lunch room had been shat
tered. Mr.. Green was notified and made
an examination of his stock, and so far
as could be discovered, nothing was
missing. 1t is lerally thought that
some belated drunk reeled against the
window and smashed the glass.
HAD A GOOD TIME.
About ten couples assembled at the
home of Frank Bemis on Summer
street last evening and passed a very
enjoyable time playing whist and other
games.

is the season Of stock-taking.
Stock-taking with us is what
spring housekeeping is to
the housekeepers, something
to be dreaded. The public
are the ones who generally
derive the most benefits from
stock-taking for the reason
that we generally find odd

willing to sacrifice our
profit to dispose of than

we are through taking stock
and we will make you an
