DISCUSSES
FINANCIAL.
MATTERS

New Bedford. Mass. Jan. Mayor
ghomas Thompson, who was elected as
the Peoples party candidate last month.
devoted a considerable portion OF his in
augural address today TO a discussion OF
the financial standing OF the city. which.
he said. was a question OF great import
ance. Last week the city was unable to
meet the payment OF a short term in
debtedness aggregating s2ooO00, and it's
employees remained unpaid for a portion
Of the month of December. After citing
many figures from the statements fur
nished by the city treasurer and collector
OF taxes. Mayor Thompson said:
The question may be: Whether or not
the city council can provide for the s272.-
as a debt. by bending to the amount OF
sl59000. the amount short OF the debt
limit. The balance, OF course could he
added TO taxation"
show unpaid taxes for the year 19o4-lso5
aggregating sll76i2.
In referring to other departments Mayor
them being the following:
II would recommend that the police
boat Mary be dispensed with. as the city
does not need a pleasure boat I would
also recommend the (poor) department.
cease TO keep whiskey and gin by the bar
rel at the poor farm. on tap. i would
also suggest that when the committee de-
slres 70 paw n visit 10 the poor farm for
inspection that they do so on a week day
and not on Sabbath. and also tllnt they
must not expect to have n fancy dinner
prepared for them. We are expected 10
work for the citys welfare. and n dinner
OF this nature sets a bad example.
''The open violation m granting more
