in Readiness.

In response to a petition from the
requisite number Of citizens, a call
for another special town meeting is to
be issued by the selectmen of Killing
", the 26th being the date decided up
on for the gathering
The petitioning citizens want this
meeting to see if it will be voted to
rescind the vote limiting the amount
that selectmen may pay teams doing
town work to 81 day, and to leave
with the selectmen the matter of fixing
the compensation to be paid for such
work. The "a day" vote was passed
in 1902
While it has been possible for the
selectmen to get all the teams needed
in doing state road at the rate men-
toned, 1t is not at all an easy mat
ter to get team owners to put their
rigs at work going scraping and other
such wearing work at that figure
| There Is a case on record in Kill
ingly of one of the selectmen paying

cents day toward the price of teams
/ to get such necessary repair jobs
done

that they cannot afford to work their
! horses and furnish a man to drive
| them at 81 that there is no profit for
| them at that price. They are urging
that the limit be removed SO that the
| selectmen can pay more than that rate
when the nature of the work justifies
SO doing. The removal of the limit
they claim, would not necessarily mean

future at "a a day on certain kinds

An attempt was made to get action
on this matter at the special town
meeting last week, but was prevented

ence before going to the Woonsocket
high school, notably at Lincoln Memo
rial university, Cumberland Gap, Tenn,
his most important work has been done
in the Rhode Island city.
Mr. Holden's recommendations 10
the Putnam school committee include
letters from the present governor Of
Rhode Island, from the mayor Of
Woonsocket and members of the school
board in that city. and from many ed
ucators in a position to know about
his work. All have expressions of ex-
ceptional appreciation to set down rel
alive to Mr.. Hol5en, and all agree that

! that the Woonsocl1et high school has
ever had. Mathematics is a specially

EXPENSIVE RAck TAX.
John 6ospheckie Threatened Revenge
and Got Thirty Additional Days In
f-H

John Bospheclxie received a sentence
of 100 days in Jail when his case had
been heard In the city court Tuesday.
During the previous night at about
the midnight hour. with partner who
was not captured, he broke out glass
in the windows of Thomas Gannon's
saloon, on Livery street. presumably
with the idea of getting away with
some of the liquid refreshments. His
capture was the result of the activity
Of Edward Bosuuet, employed near
Gannon's place, Bosquet being awak-
ened by the sound Of the breaking
glass. Officer Cordier arrested Bosp-
heckie after a considerable time had
elapsed.
In court Tuesday morning Judge
Fuller had sentenced the man to serve
80 days in jail for intoxication and so
days more for doing injury to the Gan
non windows, when the prisoner made
threat of violence against those who
had caused his arrest as soon as he
was released from Jail. For this out
break Judge Fuller imposed an addi-
tional 80 days, teaching the rabid man
a needed lesson.
