Last Mondays Primary.

The white Democratic primary
election held last Monday passed
off quietly. There was some lit
tie friction caused by certain rul-
lngs of the commissioners, through
which several voters were denied
the right to vote. Pretty much
all the electioneering and wire
pulling was done by the friends
of the candidates for Marshal and
the partisans of the Court House
ticket for Alderman. The Opera
House ticket refused to lend it.

and as a consequence none of these
gentlemen will be- Required to serve
their constituents in the capacity
of Alderman. The COURIER has
expressed it's opinion Oh the gen.
tlemen composing both of the
tickets last week, and only regrets
that a Board of Aldermen of this
town could not have been selected
without resorting to the tactics
of partisan politics, when all are
so vitality interested in our mu-
nicipal affairs, in which partisan
ship should cut no figure. The
gentlemen composing the success
full ticket are all good citizens, rs
we have stated; it now remains
to be seen if, as a Board, they are
equal to the task of bringing oul
town up to the standard which il
should occupy by enlightened
progressive business management
The task is no easy one, and we
are sure none of the defeated can,
didates will envy them their posi-

The treasurer's report showed
funds on hand amounting to $14,-
4S4.87. An appropriation of $500
was made to repaint the St. Lam
dry High School building.
The sidewalk ordinance and the
appropriation recently made were
repealed, which places the town
in the same. predicament for the
next two years under which it has
suffered in the past-rotten side
walks and no sidewalks at all in
the outskirts of the town. OF
course the principal part of the
town is secure by an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for sidewalks, but
the average citizens appearance
is hardly presentable when he ar
rives on the "principal'' streets
from his suburban residence.
An appropriation was also made
to the Carnival parade committee
to assist in defraying expenses on
St. Joseph's Day, March 19.
On Thursday, at called meet
ing of the Board, Mayor LittelI
submitted q communication ask
ing the Board to reconsider the
resolution appropriating $4,000 fol
building plank sidewalks, and OF
| the Boards refusal to do SO vetoeC
the resolution on the following
grounds: That he believed thai
/ the appropriation is too large fol
a single purpose, and that sale
appropriation will leave the treas
ury in too depleted condition
and for the further reason that h'
believes that the laying of planl
sidewalks in the business portion
Of town is a waste of money.
The Board passed the resoiu
ton over the Mayors veto by tn
following vote: Ayes-Lawler
Healey, Dietlein, Vilaseca. Nay
Gosselin.
We think the Mayors point wa
we'll taken, and his veto shout
have been sustained. No perma
nent good, and very little tempo
rary advantage, can result fror
the resolution adopted by tn
Board.
