VIM. Fl. Hill on Dec. g. 1t would APP
pear that 1t was part of the payment
entered on Dec. on the collector s
book. To have made both of the pay
ments the collector must have known
that he had collected the amount Of
made the two payments to make good
the shortage that then existed. This
payment of the amount of the check
in addition to other entries OF pay
ments considered as the correct en-
tries would make the total payments
to Dec. 5. 1905, inclusive, exceed the
total amount collected by d. I. Cor
ham to that date by $113-57.
From Dec. S to Dec. 20, 1906, co1lec-
lions to the amount Of $517.69 are en-
tered and payment on Dec. % Of
$685. From Dec. 49, 1906 to Feb. 25,
$614.11 are entered, and from Feb. %.
1907 to March 5, 1907, collections to
the amount of S229.97 are entered On
March S payments of $819.81 are en-
tered. The additional entry of the
check dated Feb. %, and in amount
sos, would therefore show the total
payments to exceed the total co1lec-
lions to this date $50. &C.
Therefore the conclusion that the
two checks are included in the pay
ments entered Dec 5, 1905 and March
5, 1907
Mr. SouIe goes on to say that the
above conclusion is on the basis that
five credit entries on the collectors
book of payments to treasurer are err
roneous on account OF the original
figures having been changed, the de-
duction amounting to $500. The total
amount Of difference between the col
tections of Gorham and payments to
treasurer to May g. 1910 is stated to
be $1,319.56. Deducting from this the
$1141 turned over by Mr.. ELL last
May there remains balance against
Mr. Gorham Of $178.64. To the above
presentation Mr. Soule adds as fin
al note on the subject the following.
amount of $1,1l.54 by the treasurer's
entry of the same on the treasurer's
cash book the matter now stands a.
personal matter between VIM. II. Hill
and Everett I. Gorham.
This view Of it's being a personal
matter between the parties named, in
which case Mr., Hill should seek re-
from Mr.. Gorham and not from the
town, is shared by Attorney S. C.
Shaw who has so advised First Select
man Charles Sanford in a written opin-
ion Mr.. Hill regards the situation
differently. He told the selectmen at
their meeting last Saturday that he
should continue to look to the town
for payment and further said that q
lawyer had advised him that he would
be justified IN Withholding the amount
of the excess payment from the town
funds which are still passing through
his hands Should he attempt this
there would doubtless be legal pro-
ceedings against him. Despite his
protest the selectmen served him on
Saturday with a formal demand for
the early payment of the $746 which
he owes the town according to Mr..
Soule's finding. OF this sum $485.1 Is
comes from what is due in collections
paid him by ex-Collector e. M. SAM
ford and $s0.10 on collections of ex-
Collector e. p. Sanford.
The selectmen also made formal de-
mand last Saturday on e. I. Gorham
for $17S.04 and on ex-Collector Osborn
for S140.05.

dummy to do his "balk talk Lester
makes the funny fellow say lot Of
amusings things and even sing songs
while the ventriloquist himself drinks
from glass, smokes a cigarette and
otherwise conducts himself as pa
tient listener He also introduces a
telephone effect in voice-throwing
which is truly remarkable. There is
a lot of good comedy and manipula-
ton of the figure when the dummy
apparently calls down his principal
and threatens powerful things, chatting
him mercilessly. Lester is the only
man who has the temerity to leave
the stage and walk right down
through the aisles with the dummy
in his arms, making it sing and talk
exactly as il 1t we're endowed with
life Always hit wherever it has
all other ventroliquists who have ever
appeared in vaudeville that there Is
no comparison. His style Is quiet and
his act unpretentious using only one
dummy but the wonderful control he
has of his lips, mouth, throat and
other great organs used In ventrilo-
quism has made him the wonder of
scientists. Under the strongest spot
light and the closest scrutiny not a
movement of his lips can be detected,
while he talks for his little dummy
in fact, it's almost uncanny, it's so
perfect. He drinks and smokes while
the dummy supposedly talks and even
walks down into the audience, with
a strong light upon him while he
makes the dummy sing. Bring the
children to see Mr.. Lester this week.
