pears that before Capt. Tibbetts went to

DIES WITH OFFICE.
Clinton Town Treas
urer's Bond is Not
Iron Glad.
SERIOUS QUESTION.
Board of SeIectmen Dis.
cussed the Question in
All Its Detail.

Clinton, April 1O.-Much of the tlhl.
of the seIectmen at their meeting To-
night was consumed in discussing thS
form of bond that shall be required VI
Town Treasurer Charles Z. Shaw i lie
selectmen expressed disapprovaI OF the
bond furnished by Former Town treas
urer Joseph E. Harrity.
Their principal objection was th@'
the bond expires with the term OF Oh
fee, and that it includes no provision
for uncollected taxes. The SITUATION
as the selectmen see it, is that MI
Harrity, when he went out OF ONCE
had some $4,000 in uncOllected taxes.
He does not go out of office, sur, ny
speaking, until these taxes are CoIle0'
ed.
The discussion of new form ct PONG
hinged especially upon the clrcuin-
stance that so far as this sum OF SIo, :
900 is concerned, the town is WITHOUT
protection. There is no bond to cover
the amount in case it should be coIlecl-
ed and not paid to the town.
There was not any idea in the minds
of the seIectmen that Mr.. Harrlty Will
not turn in the money The idea was
simply that, as a matter of business
the town should have something TO Sc
cure it. If Mr.. Harrity should die WIN
a sum belonging to the town IN mis-
possession, the town would be in
difficult position, and the absence Of a
suitable bond would be the weak spot
Mr.. Harrity's bond provided only FOR
shortage arising by criminal conduct
The selectmen discussed the feaslbil,y
of getting a bond that viii cover short
age arising from any cause.
