How Tunbrldee Handled War Burden

In the HERALD issue of April 8, there
appeared a statement recalling the facts in
the history OF Randolph during the Civil
war. showing somewhat the signal ability
in the management Of the town affairs by
the selectmen in those days, with the de-
/ sire to know how many other towns in
/ the state found their finances in as good
\ shape as the town of Randolph.
Tunbridge can respond with the record
of as wise a policy and the selectmen de-
serve tn be held in as high and grateful
/ remembrance as those in Randolph and
other towns in the state.
! AT that time Lewis Dickerman was first
! selectman, also the recruiting officer dur
4 ing the Civil war, and when a call came
! for troops Mr. Dickerman would call a
| town meeting to see il the town would
vote a bounty and how much. He did so
4 twice and at the next meeting the town
] instructed him to use his own Judgment
in paying bounty, but to get the men
without fail. Mr.. Dickerman was always
on hand, both night and day, and he did
get the men, and when the war closed the
J town had one man credit.
How this happened was as follows:
| When the last call for men came in De-
GEM Der. '6i, he had got enough men to fill
the quota excepting two. He then found
three brothers who wanted to enlist and
all 90 together. The three would go as
cheap as two, so Mr.. Dickerman enlisted
the men. which was all right, as the pros
pect was that another call would come and
this one man would count on another call
# ii came, but it did not.
Ii seems that Mr.. Dckerman enlisted
every man and was the firm manager of
the town affairs at this crisis. At the
March meeting he would report to the
town what sum of money was needed to
pay town expenses and also the bounty
money! The town was very prompt and
voted all money that was needed, and
when the war closed, the town of Tun-
bridge was not owing one dollar OF in
debtedness and still had one man credit.
SO you find Randolph was just little be-
hind, as it had no credit for men.
Just few words more in MIR. Dicker-
mans favor. When we had the first call
for nine months men, he caused meeting
TO be called to see what bounty, If any, the
town would vote to pay, and he also made
the motion 10 pay $50. Some townsmen
argued that SVould not be legal to vote
money for thatburpose. He told them II
II was not legal that the legislature would
make it legal; If not, be would pay II all
himself.
50 it was that sound business judgment
was shown, the heavy financial burdens
proved equal 70 the task, and immediate
raising Of funds was easy, high prices,
making money plenty. The town had no
exorbitant taxes to raise to pay a big war
debt at the close. All considered, the
finances were in as good shape as any town
in the state.
Mr.. Dickerman is now living and in
good health at the advanced age of four
score years, retaining his mental faculties
remarkably and Outlines drives alone to
town on business. He is a lifelong resi-
dent of Tunbridge and may well be con-
sidered one of the fathers Of this town.
