The settlement of the city with the

and was ready for settlement with

the way the concrete was put into the
dam during the cold weather and
also criticised the foundation TO the
stand pipe He has made complete
report TO the board of public works
and the council that will be given to
the public in due time. He advised
the council TO let the matter stand as
it is for time aud see how the work

Our good friends Of the Mortified
News, Barre Times, st. Adams Mes
senger and others are barking up the
wrong tree in their criticism Of Gov.
Mccullough on the ground that he
bias been too free in pardoning Grim
inals. Gov, Mccullough has not is
sued an unconditional pardon in the
eight months be mas been governor
and has exercised the right Of parole
in only three cases other than those
merely periunctory. The error into
which our neighbors have fallen is
undoubtedly due to the peculiar pro-
visions of the present laws. Under
the law person convicted Of crime is
sentenced to one Of the state penal in
stitutious for maximum or a mini
mum term. As the law was originally
made a board of pardon was provided
TO parole at the ex oiration OF the min
imum sentence if his behavior in
prison had been exemplary. The

Of pardon and left its duties with the
governor. Therefore when prisoners
minimum ter N has expired it devolves
on the governor to issue an order re-
leasing him and unthinking persons
and those not familiar with the pro
visions of the law enormously con
clude that another criminal has been
pardored. Gov. Mccullough has not
used the power of absolute pardon
once since be has been governor, and
the three that he has conditionally re-
leased have been where the circum-
stances showed that the punishment
had been sufficient. His record 10
this respect is very much smaller than
that Of Governors Stickney and Smith
who preceded him.
