Mr.. WATTS IS HAPPY.
Balance Has Been Found
in His Favor on Leices-
ter Tax Book.

Leicester, Oct. 11.-It leaked oft to-
day that an error of $17LOS mad been
discovered by experts in the tax col
lector's books, which shows UP in Tax
Collector H. B. Watts favor. The COR
rect tax was collected, but an error in
figuring made it appear that the sum
of $177.O8 was still due on that page.
1t is intimated that a conclusion has
been arrived at, and that a final settle
ment is pending. The only expense
the town has been put to has been
$25, paid to L. C. Muzzy of Worcester,
expert accountant, and the selectmen
were unable to gather anything definite
from his report.
WANTS A STREET.
John Hakanson, residing on Winslow
avenue, has a petition in circulation,
which asks the town to grant him
public street to his residence. He lives
on Winslov avenue, and cannot secure
right of way over that road. Col. 5.
E. Winslow owns strip of land two
feet wide along the avenue on either
side, and has refused Hakanson a right
of way. He desires to have road built
near Main street strip from Winslo Y
avenue, and from land of w. F. White
more.
is A GOOD RULE.
The rule forcing passengers on the
electrics to ride inside and not crowd
the rear vestibule when the inside aisle
is empty, is soon to be enforced, and
notices will be put up in cars socn. The
new vestibule cars have extra wide aisles
and a greater number of people car
stand inside than in the old cars. The
air whistle is rather sharp, and makes
some people jump. Passengers liz gem
eral are very we'll pleased with til new
cars.
