The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-12-11
SACER SLATED FOR
TRuANT OFFICER

A regular meeting OF the PaWtucket
school committee is to be held this even
ing and there is very general interest In
Iit because of the expectation that a tru-
vant officer will be elected. The present ef-
Nhcient official, Edward r. Butler, is
candidate and IL is said also that Henry
Sager wants 10 take the job again. IL
the board makes a change IL will be be-
cause Mr.. Butler is not a Republican and
for absolutely no other reason. The
strongest partisans on the board are will
Ing 10 admit that he has proved himself
thoroughly efficient and most people who
have had anything TO do with the office
during the past year are OF the oppion
that he has shown himself far superior 10
his predecessor.
II Is said, however, that Mr. Sager Is
slated for the place because the machine
feels for some reason that II has got 10
provide some kind OF a berth for him.
Just why Mr.. Sager has got TO be pro-
vided for al the public crib is one OF the
things which most people would like TO
know about. So far known his public
services have never been OF so conspicu-
Gus a character as to call for any spe-
cial consideration. To those outside OF the
Republican machine it would seem that
whatever Mr. Sager has done he has re-
ceived full pay for. He may have been
wonderfully valuable 10 the machine itself
but his services TO the city have been of
only the ordinary kind and he has received
full pay for them
Mr.. Butler makes no claim that the city
owes him a living. He does, however.
claim and the claim Is backed up by the
evidence OF about everyone who has had
any knowledge Of his work during the
past twelve months, that he has perform
ed his duty and that he has given an ad-
minstration In his department which has
brought satisfactory results. There is still
much work TO be done and Mr.. Butler
would like to have a chance TO do IT,

There Is TO be n meeting OF the Paw
a ~ttsrff.
day afternoon at o'clock for the pur-
pose OF considering the matter of lnsur-
ance rates i'm the town OF Cumberland and
especially In Valley Falls. The action OF
the voters OF the fire district of Valley
Falls last week in failing TO provide for
a fire alarm system and for an increase
IN the appropriation 10 pay the fremen
resulted in the resignation or the members
of the department In that district so that
N the present time the district has no fire
pToection of any kind.
In view OF the congested condition OF
the community IL is to be expected that
insurance companies will refuse TO accept
new policies. and there is a possibility
that old ones will be cancelled unless
action is taken right away TO provide for
q fire department.
The local agents are inclined to do
everything possible To favor their clients.
but there is limit even 10 their indul-
gence. and II would seem that the fire
district voters OF Valley Falls had about
reached that limit
