THE NEW ROAD INSPECTED.

lIdIl anu AytNlu IL may 44tAl u J tJCANtN
this morning. in visit Of the board of
county commissioners to inspect the
new Boyliyton road. The full board
reached town on the S.45 train this,
morning and were met at the railroad
station by the road commissioners.
Supt Loren B. Walker was a mem
Der of the party. The commissioners
were driven to the Lancaster mills
bridge, where they disembarked and
walked over the road.
The representatives of the town ex-
planned in detail their reasons for not
wishing to accept the road until there
is a better understanding between the
town and the water board regarding
certain details.
This visit of the county commission
ers was made in response to the protest
of the town that its representatives
were not present at the original in
spection of the thoroughfare The
county commissioners promised,
through their chairman Emerson E.
Stone, to give consideration to the OBJ
jections of the town.
The local authorities make no objec-
ton to the road as road. They re-
gard it as a fine specimen of the road
builders art. They are afraid, how
ever that the water board may in
some future, day change it's mind about
the under draining and require the
town to put in a new system, by which
great expense would be incurred. At
present water from the road surface
flows into Wachsusett reservoir.
Shortly before noon the county COM
rnissioners went back to Worcester on
an electric car.
A SAD CASE IN COURT.

c. C. Stone in the district court this
morning. Michael and Thomas Mann
ing, father and son respectively, were
before the court charged with disturb
ing the peace.

was a bruise on his throat where he had
been choked. The men were arrested
last night in front of their home on
Willow street. The father claimed he
was Furnishing his son, who is 10 years
old, for INSTRUMENTATION. The son said
his father began the fight by throwing
a tea cup ait him.

rem They were left in charge of
caretaker while the father was taken
to the police station. The mother is Ill
in the achusetts general hospital.
Judge C. c. Stone suspended sentence
In both cases for the sake of the chill
dren, warning Manning not to be found
in a similar scrape again.
COLLECTOR sHAW'S DILEMMA
Tax Collector Charles r. Shaw ex-
poets to receive letters from the tax
collectors of other towns where the
metropolitan water board has been
doing work. He has written to see if
unity of action cannot be reached in
securing a bill that will require con-
10, 10
responsible for the poll taxes of their
werkmen. The assessors list Of the town
contains the names of some 500 per-
sons who are for the most part en-
ployed on the reservoir, or were en-
ployed when the taxes were assessed,
who cannot now be found. 1t is Collec-
tor Shaw's idea that the contractors
should pay these taxes at the time of
their assessment, and withdraw the
money from the wages Of the men. Col
lector Shaw is making his collections
promptly He has already issued more
warrants for delinquent taxpayers than
the two collectors that preceded him.
