In the matter of Lemuel J. Holden OF
Worcester, who having borrowed dollar
OF Gen. j, II. Lucia promising TO pay it
back at a certain time and failing to do
so, was committed to Jail January II, 1905,
on certified execution in favor of Mr..
Lucia upon judgment obtained by default
in justice court for the sum of IL % dam
ages and A.23 costs, the auditors make
certain recommended tons Holden mas been
in Jail since his committal and there is a
bill against the city of $3.50 for his beard
in jail during the fiscal year. The town
of Worcester, which is liable for the bill,
has taken no notice of the matter when
notified and the auditors recommend that
the city pay the bill to the jailor and also
the bringing of suit against the town of
Worcester to recover the amount If in the
opinion of the city attorney it can legally
be done. They also recommend that the
city attorney look into Holden's case and
ascertain If something cannot be done to
relieve the city of this annual burden of
about 500 which will continue during Hol-
don's life under the present state of af-
fairs.
