PAWTUXET VALLEY
An Outsiders View Of Warwick's
Possibilities. Wedding Of
Valley Young Man.

Tho expression OF an outsider yes
terday afternoon, that Warwick would
this year send Democrats 10 the gem
eral assembly. but would keep the town
officers within the confines OF the Re-
publican organization, only proves the
absurd view OF the matter that is
taken by those not familiar with the
conditions.
II is common talk that the town OF
warwick has this year had enough OF
Democratic rule. 1t IL pointed out
where the streets have not been water
ed, the electric lights turned out early,
numerous additional liquor licenses
granted and other acts which, when
presented In the light OF misrepresent-
alton on the part OF the Republican
machine do appear bad for the present
adninistra tiou.
Very fortunately. however, the pres
ent administration is 10 have a chance
10 explain all OF these things at the
special town meeting 10 be held soon.
Here IL viii Re shown that some OF the
former benefits given the taxpayers
have 10 be omitted 10 save the cost OF
running the town. Not 10 save part
OF the income, but TO keep the ex-
penses OF the town within the bounds
OF the revenue.
This vital point the Republican ma
chine during its successive terms, has
ignored. and as a result each succeed
ing year say the amount OF debt in
creased until fC became necessary TO
have a special act passed by the legis-
lature giving the town permission TO
increase it's lebt limit.
Even IL the debt had been increased
II would not have appeared so glaring,
IL the expenditure OF the money gave
evidence OF It's disposition, but when in
some sections several loads OF sand cost
U bridges "
orbitant prices; where thousands were
expended upon side streets. for the
benefit of members OF the council or
their friends. that's where the objection
came in. With the present administra-
tion all sections Of the town have been
used practically alike. Two streets in
the valley have received a few hundred
dollars upon them, but most OF the
highways have received enough atten-
tion TO keep them I'm passsble condi-
tion only. Thus the whole town has
shared alike They have not had the
streets sprinkled, II is true, but this
is caused by the lack of money. Rather
than increase the towns debt further
the sprinkling has been wisely omitted
Thus the outsider in his opinion is
right when he says that the town will
be represented in the geenral assembly
by n Democratic delegation. He is
wrong. however when he says Re-
general opinion is TO give the domi-
nant party a chance TO continue their
economical crusade and this is reason
enough for big Democratic vote.
