ed the amendment, and said: T He became bit personal, and saidi q guess that l pay as much taxes and more than Alderman Ahern, and 1 don't think we are getting a square deal" He irritated some of the ranking pe- litieal seres by referring to the holes in West Main street, or Upper Main street, that had been left by Alderman Ahern when he had put in the sewer there. He did not relish being styled a small taxpayer.
 The question was called for and the amendment was carried 53 to 39
 TNhe next item was the one of street improvement that called for an appro- priatien of $5,000. Mr. Lincoln again took the floor and moved that no act ion be taken, stating that the city could not possibly afford at this time to make any further appropriation for the permanent improvement of streets. The motion when put to & vote was carried, and thus the recommendations of the appropriations committee en- dorsed by the common council were slashed to the tune of a S5,000 cut.
 Resolutions apprppriating sums for the following purposes were adopted as follows: Street lighting, 11,000; li- brary $1,000 interest, $S,600; sewer construction, $S,0G0; water department, $4,000; contingent expenses, $4,000; rents, $500; maintaining sewers S2,000 i; collection of taxes and assessments, $1,000; maintenance of footbridge, $500 <; police court, $1,s00; printing and ad- vertising. $500; collection of garbage, $1,200; testing lights, $500; trap rock, $2,000; new streets, S1,000; sewer con struction, $5,000; spraying trees and oiling street, $2,500. This appropria- tion was cut from $9,500 asked for, but is actually an increase of S1,900 over last year.
 M Eugene Lincoln was again the man to wield the axe of retrench- men. Alderman O'Connor favored the original amount asked, as did Andrew Gurley. Election expenses, $500; re- serve of per cent. held back on Main street pavement, $500; reserve of per cent. held back on construction of sew CTS, 235; water works investigation, $500.
 The result of yielding the axe in the matter of appropriations cut off exact ly $9, 300 from the itemized budget as recommended, as follows: 5000 from streets, 5000 from permanent inn provement of streets, $500 from police department and $1,000 from spraying trees and oiling streets.
 The common council were empower ed to borrow such sums of money as are needed from time to time during the ensuing year so long as same does not oyerrun the amount of the appro- priation. The various reports were accepted as presented and the meeting adjourned.

Depositors Disappointed, but Not
 Worried.

There was some disappointment among deposltors of the Windham County Savings bank Monday, when they learned that the injunction had been extended restraining the insti- tuition from carrying on it's usual bus mess for another period of four months. The depositors are not at all worried over the fipal outcome, but a considerable number of them had hoped to be able to get some of their deposits released in time for use in Christmas shopping, which would have been possible If the injunction had not been extended. Those of the depos- iters who really want money can bor- row it on their books, however, and at very reasonable rate of interest. from various banking and individual sources.

Prospect of Lively Meeting.

There is promise of a mighty inter esting special town meeting this (Tuesday) evening when the matter of resembling the vote of the annual town meeting to transfer the public library to the municipal building on Church street comes; also the propo- sition to rescind the vote appropriat- ing S3,000 for fireproof record vaults in the municipal building.
 It was stated Monday that infuen- tial citizens of Putnam believe that the city, instead of the town would do better to eXpend s3,000 for additional ire-fghting apparatus than to pay such an amount for vaults, as the pres ent safes in which records are kept are practically adequate.
 As to the matter of removing the library, those opposed still contend that by far the greater number of per sons who use the library will continue to be more conveniently served if the institution Is allowed to remain where it is.
 The meeting promises to be a spicy ! one, as the victorious forces in tho annual town meeting will be out, con tending for the advantages that they won at that time
