LOCAL AFFAIRS.
OUR TOWN AFFAIRS.
| TAX PAYER PRESENTS HIS VIEWS.

A TAX PAYER PRESENTS HIS VIEWS.
1t was with pleasure that We saw In
The BEE something that should interest
every citizen Of this good old town. The
affairs Of our town have the appearance
Of being mismanaged, either through in
capacity or csrelessness. Why the debt
should be yearly Increasing, and the
taxes getting heavier should Cause every
one of us to think seriously the reason OF
it. So long as our present Officials are
returned to manage the affairs OF the
town, so long may we reasonably expect
che indebtedness Of the town to be In
creased. Are we going to submit to il
and willingly allow ourselves to have the
tax more hurdepeome to usP What Is
the remedyP The best that can be done
ust now is to agitate the matter to
arouse the thoughts Of the people, and
prepare them to act for the good Of the
town, and ignore party spirit for the
sake Of putting the financial condition on
better basis, and to have an honest ad.
ministration that will be credit to our
beloved town. There is matter which
concerns many that We might well con-
slider. The pay Of the persons elected to
Office, from selectmen down, is . liberal
one and under the outlook at the present
time, 1t seems that We might make little
sacrifice for the good of all. Instead Of
demanding three dollars a day for our
services, couldn't we do the same amount
of work for one-third, or more, lessr
This may eeem small matter, but the
principle involved may be far reaching.
When the town shall be relieved OF its
burden in the form of heavy debt then
we could feel better able to be liberal.
What We need to consider most earnest.
ly now is, to be just, to pay our indebted.
ress, to cease being liberal to the extent
OF plunging Us still deeper into debt. And
will our present town officials be trusted
to do this, when we consider how the
debt has rapidly increased under their
management Can we be 60 blind,
thoughtlese, and so filed with party
feeling as to ignore the present statas of
thingsf We need change. We have
capable men In our midst, and they are
good business men, careful in their con-
duct, upright in their ways, correct in
their judgement, and would consider the
ways and means to reduce oar indebted.
