CENTRAL FALLS
HEARS RADICAL
PLAN OF DR.. MANN

The most interesting feature OF the
meeting OF the common council which was
held Tuesday evening, was the presenta.
ton OF a resolution by Councilman Mann
providing for the turning over OF the az
fains OF the city TO a committee OF busi-
ness men.
The resolution read as follows
''Be il resolved by the city council OF

shall be to manage the financial, hre,

other departments, OF whatsoever name
and kind, in the sole interest and for the
benefit OF the city OF Central Falls

Gald That While he dfd not rxppct tf1dt
definite action would be taken at once.

city were in such n condition as to war
rant this radical action.
city Solicitor Britman notified the
council that unless an amendment Is made
10 the city charter such n thing could not
be legally done here and the resolution

hs evident there is at least one machine

DR. Mann was elected at n special cleo
tion held TO al a vacancy last March.
He was the choice OF the Republican
machine for the place and his party has
fun control OF the city government and
has had this control ever since the forma-
tion OF the city government.
The Democrats on a few occasions have
