Will Dispute Bill.

That the board of selectmen at it's meeting tomorrow will refuse to pay the bill sent in d few days ago by the water company is generally eXpccted and it is likely that the statement will be returned to Superintendent J. N. Mckernan for revision, the town off cials believing that a reduction of more than $50 should be made.
 The bill is for $i20 for water used by the, town and the rent of fire hy- drants since last August. It is fig ured on a basis contained in the new contract with the company, which tho recent town meeting adopted. The selectmen contend that the company has no right to consider the contra ct operative before the date of its pas sa SC and as a result will insist on the employment of the ca method in cal culatirg the amount due for the D .st six months.
 Previous bills showed $362 as the towns semi-annual contribution to the water company's treasury. During the past six months an extra hydrant has been installed and the expense of renting this, the selectmen are willing to have added to the amount usually charged. This they figure, would not bring the total of the bill to over $365. Consequently the water com panN will proba bly, be asked to take over $oJ from the statement if they wish to get check Tn payment.
 Supt Mckernan argues that the statement is correct and should ne paid. He declares that for years the town has had the use of q number o1 hydrants without paying any rent fol them and in fairness to the company the selcCtmcn should be willing tc have the bill conform to the prices contained in the new contract. The agreement was presented to the sc lectmen over a year ago but the vot- CTS kept delaying action on it until two weeks ago when they ordered its acceptance.

Socialists Advertise Lecture.

Placards advertising lecture by Cornelius Lehane, the Irish labor leader, to be given in the Town hall tomorrow evening, have been distrib- uted around town by local socia lists The advertisements have caused sonie speculation owing to the fact that the selectmen claim the Town hall has not been engaged for that evening as far as they know and they have siv- en no instructions to have the pad locks removed from the doors
 The socialists engaged the nall for February several weeks ago. Since that time the voters passed a resolu- ton giving all political parties equal rights in the use of the town build ing. For this action the socialists were responsible. The intent seem ingly was to make it possible for that party to use the building for lectures and other political meetings without paying the usual rental fee. The se- lectmen refused to recognize the vote as they claim it was illegally taken, no notice Of the matter having been contained in the call for the meeting They decided that the socialists could do the same as other political parties, use the hall free during prediction campaigns and pay for it on all other occasions.
 R. G. Hart, a representative of the party, who engaged the hall, was noti- fled that if the socialists wanted to have Q meeting in the town building tomorrow night they would have to pay the usual rental charge. The date was stricken from the list posted Tn the corridor, pending advices from the leaders as to what course they proposed to follow. Nothing having been heard from them, the selectmen believed that the engagement had been cancelled or the lecture would be given in some other hall.
 How the socialists propose to over ride the selectmens action none of the members of the party have ex- plained In fact they decline to dis cuss it. The belief is general, how ever. that they intend to test the validity of the vote, although no one seems to know what methods they will employ.
