The Newtown bee., 1903-03-06

l. It is expected now that the church will be opened for use on Sunday morn- ing, March 15. The old church has in- deed been transformed by the plenti- full application of paint, lowering of galleries and laying of carpets until it is hardly too much to say, as one of the one of the prettiest rural churches in Fairfield county. The Congregational church people cordially invite all their friends to meet with them on March 15 in their tpleasant church home. The sacrament of the Lords Supper will be observed on that day. As last item in the work of beautifying and furnish ing the church 75 chairs were ordered this week to accommodate Sunday school classes in the galleries.

THE WRECK AT GREENWOOD

The cause of q serious accident
at Greenwood on Wednesday is
at this writing unsuspected. The
snow storm and the escaping
steam are given as reasons for
the collision. But the carrying
of dynamitein car load lots should
be done only under the most
careful regulations, and these
should be most rigidly enforced.
The loss of two lives, the bruis-
ing and manning of several per-
sons and the temporary demol-
ishment of a whole town are
events that demand a full inves-
tigation and a free publication of
the results. We have no doubt
that the Railroad Company will
extend to the Coroner of Sussex
County every facility for arriv-
ing at the exact truth. One of
the lessons to be learned should
be that naptha and explosives of
any kind should not be carried
in the same train, and it would be
better, probably, if they were
not transported on the same day.

NOT SATISFIED

As was to be expected, the
magistrates and constables o1
Wilmington are not content as
one of them states "to wear the
stigma" cast upon them BY the
Comptroller when he cut out
of their bills such items of costs
and charges as the Con
believed from his investigatl0
were without proper warrant I'd
law. On Tuesday of this week,
their counsel appeared before
the Levy Court and asked that
a further hearing be had. One
of the magistrates in letter TO
the Morning Ne,Us, suggests re-
ferring the matters in dispute to
three referees. If this were not
an evidence of a sad lack of legal
knowledge by a Justice of the
Peace, it would be ludicrous. By
the provisions of the act creating
the Office of Comptroller, it is
required that all bills before al
lowance by the Levy Court shall
be audited and marked correct"
and he is given the power to
summon witnesses and make
such investigation as is necessary
to arrive at a just decision of the
matter. In case of his refusal
to mark any bill Correct" he is
required to transmit his reasons,
and in such case a majority of the |
Levy Court may pay the bill, |
despite the objections of the |
Comptroller. This act clearly |
defines the duties and response
bilities of the Comptroller and
there is no hint OF any reference
to referees. These claims of the
officials having been thoroughly
examined by the Comptroller
and his action in striking out GER
tain items being approved by the
Levy Court, the case is closed
and those officers who have ac-
cepted the warrants drawn have
acted wisely. The others should
do likewiseand permit the matter
to pass into oblivion, and in the
future present bills in accordance
with the law, and not following
Democratic precedents.
