A Business-Like Town Meet
ing

Last Mondays annual meeting
broke the record in many ways. The
number of articles to be acted upon
was in excess of previous years and
the total amount proposed to be
raised by taxation under them prob
ably has never been equalled in the
history of Skowhegan. Notwithstand-
ing this the business was finished
shortly after four o'clock-two hours
earlier than many of the meetings of
previous years. The weather was for
bidding and yet there was good pro-
portion of the voters present through
out the day They evinced throughout
a serious purpose to get at the heart
of every proposition and to dispose
of it to the best advantage. The
speaking indicated that every Sec
ton and all classes were represented
in the deliberations. There were earn
est differences of opinion and yet it
may be said that no speech over
stepped the bounds of courtesy. 1t
was the good old New England town
meeting at its best.

Good Work By The Com
mittee of Twenty

Many of our best privileges are I'M
appreciated and this is certainly SO
with regard to the Committee OF
Twenty. This body, appointed by the
se1ectmen. and asked to study the ar
ticles in the town warrant. held open
sessions on Thursday and Saturday
evenings of last week. On both OF
these evenings adjournment was not
reached until midnight Very yalu-
able work was done and there is no
question but what the matters con-
sidered were presented to the voters
on Monday in much better shape than
they otherwise would have been.
The powers and duties of this com
mittee are often misunderstood. AS
a matter of fact they have no power
whatever and can really accomplish
nothing that twenty other citizens
could not do by a similar conference.
The fact that they are appointed by
the selectmen gives their opinions
more influence than would be at
tached to the findings of a purely
voluntary committee Whatever their
report, however, has no effect unless
the voters see fit to ratify it
The late James Harmon used to
ridicule the Committee of Twenty
mercilessly and would refer to them
In his town meeting GRAFTON as the
Twenty Wise Men" This bit of
pleasantly from this quaint old gen
tleman always provoked a laughter
and perhaps did no harm. 1t should
be understood, nevertheless, that the
Committee claims no wisdom above
that possessed by their fellow towns
men nor do they seek to compel 9th
ers to adopt their opinions. The net
gain from their deliberations is at
least this, that twenty citizens, at any
rate, know SOMETHING about the
business of town meeting day, dis
tinct advantage to all concerned.
We shall doubtless change, in the
not distant future, to the commission
form of government, but until we do
we should aid and encourage in every
way these annual deliberations of the
Committee Of Twenty.
