Happenings Of the Villages
The sale OF the property OF the Warwick
and Coventry Water Company. which was
advertised 10 take place this morning at
the town hall at Apponaug. by the form
er tax collector, Edgar K. Matteson was
not held The property has been adver-
tired for sale by the tax collector, for
postponed frequently on account of an
injunction placed upon the property by
the president. John j Arnold
The injunction was granted temporarily
through the Fourth district court and the
! hearing OF tho case was begun Col. p.
| II. Quinn, the town solicitor OF Warwick,
is prosecuting the case against the water
company with a view OF bringing the
! company to respect the laws as other cor
porations in the town do. regarding the
| payment OF taxes.
The case has had several hearings be-
fore Judge Mumford and has been con-
/ tnued from time TO time. About a week
! ago. Judge Mumford left for his vaca-
ticn and the case has now been contin-
ued until late In September The sale
| OF the property has likewise been post
| poned until n few days after the date
scheduled for the continued hearing. So
for this reason the case is at present
| at a standstill and will remain so until
| IL Is taken up again.
This case is one that has been pend
! ing long time In several towns Presi-
| dent Arnold has refused TO pay his tax
| and in some instances has won suits that
| have resulted. In Warwick. however, the
aspect OF the case appears different. the
| town solicitor having already won each
| step.
Col. Quinn begun the case in a thor
! oughly systematic manner and is proceed
| ing likewise At each turn he has met
his opponent and has won. This In IT.
self is remarkable as President Arnold
has been successful In bluffng nearly all
who have tried TO collect his tax, and
! they who thus received his BLUFFS, have
usually allowed the matter to drop there.
| This time the company's head. finds that
ne is against a different proposition and
he also sees by this time an eventual
victory for the Democratic leader.
