Webster April 13.-Maurice P. Glare,
deputy sheriff, constable, chairman Of
the board Of selectmen, and holder of
other offices, informed the Webster
correspondent of The Spy in the pres
ence of Postmaster VIM. 1. Marble,
Hector Dupre, and another reporter,
who had gathered in his office in the
bank block, this morning, that he was
not a candidate for the office of chief
of police of the Webster force.
You can put that in The Spy" said
the town father, land also that thare
will not be any chief appointed by our
board. There IS hardly enough money
now to comp ansate the police we shall
appoint"
1t seems nov that the selectmen win
assume the responsibility of the posi-
ton the chief would perform were one
to be appointed. The board will super
wise the force for a while anyway, and
later probably will appoint a man 70
assume authority over the force.
Mr.. Clare's action in refusing the
seat and title of chief of police, caused
quite surprise and little sensation.
1t looks now as though the new po-
lice would not be appointed tomorrow
night by the board. If this should prove
to be the case, the watch district will
be placed in a ticklish position, and I'M
less the selectmen vote to do some
thing relative TO the situation at tn Eli
meeting, the town will be without pO-
lice protection, unless the present night
watchmen, Messrs. Hyland and Os-
borne, are willing to give their serv
ces free a few days until the watch
district can arrange the matter.
The reporter talked with one If The
selectmen, and he said that in all prob
abilities no police would be appointed
tomorrow night at their meeting. He
said that all the applications would
have to be in by tomorrow, but that
probably the board would take a day
or two to think over the situation ard
then meet and decide on the appoint
ments.
Messrs. Hyland and Osborne Gloss
their duties tomorrow night, when they
patrol the streets for the last time. On
Saturday morning it is expected the
regular police force will be in vogue.
In all probability, the board will not
grant the liquor licenses at tOmorrows
meeting, as they will have their hands
full.
This year there are nine applications
for license. and but seven can be
granted. The applicants are as follows,
with their proposed places of business:
