The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-10-20

reflection on the correctness OF the fig.
ures which are annually given out from
the auditors office, but to Indicate that
In the system OF bookkeeping which has
been adopted no one outside OF the city
auditor himself ever has any IDEAS OF
what his figures mean. However Mr.
Kenyon admits In his letter that there is
debt OF several million and then he goes
on 10 show that the city has numerous
assets and names among other things
certain school property and the water
works. Then he says there is a sinking
fund which is designed TO care for some
OF this debt His argument may be an
interesting one and perhaps he under
stands IL himself but even II he does
and even II those who read ~ know what
| he is talking about II is somewhat Diff
cult 10 understand what all that has TO
do with electing him mayor. No one ac-
cuses Mr. Kenyon with having created a
city debt any more than they accuse Mr.
Corcoran. II he is trying To prove his In
nocence II would seem to be effort sadly
wasted.
But Mr.. Kenyon goes on To say he be-
lieves In public parks and in Improvement
societies and also that he favors the
abolition OF grade crossings in this city
Well. there is certainly nothing very radi-
cal In either OF those things 1t would be
dinicult 10 md five men I'm the entire city
| who would not say exactly the same
| thing. Everybody believes I'm parks No
| one has any objection TO Improvement So
| cleties and even the children OF the city
| have decided opinions regarding the aboli-
| tion or the grade crossings
| However. Mr.. Kenyon does not make one
| little radical statement which II IS possible
| may not be approved by n good many OF
| the voters. He declares that in his opinion
| the way TO secure the abolition OF grade
| crossings Will be TO absorb the CITY %
| Central Falls and make n n part OF the
| city OF Pawtucket. II Is possible that a
| quarter OF century or more from now
something of this kind may find favor. but
| " PaWtucket has got to wait till Central
| Falls becomes ward Of the city OF Paw
| tucket before II can get rid OF It's grade
crossings then IL is certainly not a matter
| which calls for any very serious consider
| alton from a man who IS candidate for
| mayor this year
| Mr.. Kenyon does not have great deal
y 10 say about the police department, sim
| ply declaring that II he should by any
| chance be elected he would give 10 the
chief Of police full authority to run that
department OF the city government
