NEW COUNCILS FIRST MEETING.
The members-elect of the Warwick
town council will meet this afternoon at
o'clock in the town hall. Apponaug. for
the purpose OF organizing and attending
To the duties for which they were elected.
In accordance with custom which mas
been followed every year with single
exception i'm the history OF the town. the
presiding officer will be the councilman
first named on the successful ticket, In
this instance Joseph Barber OF the Firth
voting district Natick.
Mr. Barber enters upon his third year
as a member OF the council and his hrst
as its presiding officer although he mas
had considerable experience as presid-
ing officer I'm other organizations. Much
interest centres in this first meeting. al
though II is improbable that any business
will be transacted other than is absolutely
necessary. The selection of minor town
officers is 10 be laid over to later meet
ing. as IL is not quite likely that the ma
chine has yet decided upon who Is to get
their reward for political favors. ana
aside from this the members-elect are
nearly all members OF the present coun-
ell. Rumor has 1t that Charles A. john
son OF Pontiac, highway commissioner
last year. is to be retired. his office abol-
ished and return made to the old system
OF four highway surveyors. The expert
ment OF last year created much criticism
from the taxpayers. The present incum-
bents OF the offices OF health officer and
chief OF police are sure to be retained
of the dominant party they have the
townspeople believe made good" Unless
the councilmen see At to raise the salary
of the collector OF taxes over that paid
last year they will have to look for an
other candidate for the place. as Herbert
w. Barber, the present collector. has de-
clined to take the position unless the
compensation Is increased materially,
IL was planned by the machine leaders
hafnrn ala Rarhrl
| for town treasurer and continue the two
| offices I'm the event OF his election. The
| Democrats upset that plan by nominating
Mr. Sheldon, the present incumbent. The
Republicans. fearing disaster by refusing
To nominate a man against Mr. sheldon
placed him on their ticket.
The other important place 10 be hued
! IS that OF town solicitor, last held by Col.
| p n. Quinn. The Republicans last year
| passed the office, and placed the law busi-
ness OF the town in the hands or COM
mttee OF the council. consisting OF
Messrs. Long and Watrous. who IN turn
hired a legal adviser In the person OF
Frederick A. Jones Of Cranston. Mr.
| ZONES is attorney for Mr.. Watrous In
| Providence.
OFFICERS WOKE UP
Az last the liquor complaint officers
| have awakened from their slumbers. Sat-
urday these officers visited several
saloons and sealed mp the back doors ana
warned the proprietors TO cease doing
business on Sundays. This eleventh-hour
attention 20 their sworn duty has its OBJ
ject
Yesterday there was something OF an
Improvement In tho liquor business I'm Ap-
ponaug. although IL is said every one OF
them were open for tho convenience of the
public.
The saloon keepers OF the town got a
great scare on election day, when the re-
suit Of the ''no-license" question was made
known. They have realized that with \
little moro agitation on the question they
| would be minus their license next year.
