CENTRAL FALLS
MAYOR READY FOR
INVESTIGATION

tnat pollce investigation which has beer
ordered by the Republican board OF al
derman and he declares that when the
aldermen get ready to begin he will be on
| hand. This investigation will start on
Friday. the 2sth inst. and every one re-
alizes that the matter Of police Is not
held as important with the investigators
as is the matter OF the mayor.
II is In reality the mayor who is up for
! investigation, and II there was any law
by which the aldermen could make an
! investigation OF the acts OF the mayor
/ II Is possible II would be done, although.
| judging from the shilly shally way In
/ which they have performed most OF their
duties this year II seems this is the most
natural course for them TO take. even II
there was a more straightforward way
/ open TO them.
/ This week Deputy Sheriff Arthur Sher-
man served a notice on Mayor McNally
| that the investigation OF the police was
| 10 be made. There are two peculiar
things in connection with this. In the
| first place II is unnecessary for the reso-
! lutions Of the board OF aldermen 10 go
TO the mayor. Then this being an in
vestigation OF the police department, as
is alleged, II is difficult to see just why
such a notice should be served on the
mayor
But over and above all this. there is
no reason why the notice should be
served by Deputy Sheriff Arthur Sher-
man. There is city sergeant whose
duty It is TO serve all papers that refer
10 the actions OF the city council, OF
which the board OF aldermen is one
branch. The ringing in of Deputy Sheriff
Sherman is another evidence OF the poll
tics In the entire game
II was Deputy Sheriff Sherman who led
the raids by the hrelings OF High Sheriff
White in this city some weeks ago and
IL is Deputy Sheriff Sherman who has
been most active in urging this investiga-
tion. Now he is selected In place OF the
city sergeant the official information that
the investigation is to be made, informa-
tion that there was no necessity Of giving
anyway
OF course, everyone In this city knows
that Deputy Sheriff Sherman is a promi-
nent worker in the Republican party.
For years he has given much OF his time
TO bringing about the success OF It's can
didates He is one OF the prime movers
in the Lincoln Republican club and there
fore there is no reason TO expect MS
present activity in the cause OF good gov
eminent has any other motive than par
tisan success.
THAT LITTLEFTELD ESTATE.
Two weeks ago when someone started
a
the property at the corner OF Broad and
Cenhal streets as a future home for the
city government there were quite num-
her OF people who became quite enthusi-
astic But a little later this enthusiasm
died down and now there Is nothing be-
ing said about II anywhere.
There has been a committee appointed
TO examine the property and IL Is SAID
that this examination has been made.
hot fhn
could be made ready ror the use of the
city officials with an expense OF not more
than 800. but later someone asked IL
that would build a fii--proof steel vault,
and then II was realized that the slOOO
would probably be greatly Increased be
fore the Littlefed house could be made
into a city hall.
II is stated that two private citizens OF
Central Falls have secured an option on
the nroperty for the benefit Of the city.
and Il was these two gentlemen who
were the most active in their advocacy
OF the proposition
There will probably be some kind OF
report at the next meeting OF the COM
mon council and then the whole matter
Is likely 10 be dropped.
