The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-11-23

regarding the character OF the man who
was appointed deputy chief
II looks like snap game 10 have this
ordinance presented at a special meeting
Of the common council. which was not
called until IL was too late for the news
papers to give the people an idea that IL
was going TO be held That was the cow
ardly part OF the whole scheme. II looks
as though the machine was really ashamed
OF It's own acts and was afraid To have
the public know OF what was about To be
dcne. The excuse that II would have
caused a large number OF applicants for
vacancies it a pretty poor one, and when
II is put forth IL simply shows that the
machine does not dare to give it's true
reason. Certainly the members of the city
council do little enough for the money
which they receive. and II would not hurt
them very much II a few Of their constit-
uents did happen to make an application
for the vacant positions.
one OF the interesting features OF the
action Is the supineness shown by the
| members Of tho city council in accepting
, the dictum OF the machine without the
| slightest knowledge of the effect OF the
| ordinances which were passed
Gen. Brayton might come out to Paw
! tucket and get some pretty valuable
| points on the manner in which to run
a legislative body.
