Town Solicitor Thomas F. Larkin
said this afternoon, speaking Of the poll
taxes defaulted by metropolitan la
borers, that he did not care to express
a definite opinion for publication. His
opinion, expressed without investiga-
ton, however, is that the town has no
claim on the state for the taxes. They
are not debt arising from contract
and meeting Of minds. They are inn
posed by statute, and the person against
whom they are charged is liable for
them with or without his consent The
metropolitan act binds the state to GER
tain liabilities incurred by contract.
Mr. Larkin thinks poll taxes are not in
this class.
Supt. Lawrence Fury has received
the report Of the state committee on

port is based was made during the

aged, but 1t was not found as clean as
it should have been. No changes have

The family is undecided when the fu-
neral shall be. They desire, If that
is practicable, to defer the obsequies
until Friday.
Further investigation today discloses
that Fl. c.. Caswell is indeed missing
from his candy store in Clinton block
as printed in The Spy this morning.
Who Mr.. Caswell Is and where he came
from, nobody here seems to know, al
though he had given LeominSter as
his residence, and said he had once
done business in Worcester. Sunday,
Caswell put his candy kettle into a
team. which he stabbed in the Clinton
House barn, and drove away. Monday
the store was not open. A sign re-
naming in the front window says that
Caswelfs candy for chewing has a rep
utation from the Atlantic to the Rock
les.
One of the things that happen is the
