Notwithstanding the poor showing
to say the least made by the board in
its business management OF barn
building, it is quite surprising that
they should repeat few months later
the same program in q, smaller scale.
During the past summer the board
authorized certain work to be done at
the Town Home without any agree
ment rs to cost or time. The party
gaged placed two men there who
spent five or six weeks time when the
work should have been done in nearly
one-half the time.
THE bills for this work were over
$4,000. Then we have bills for fire
escapes for $500 which were entirel|

g. F. Curtis Makes Further State
m0ntS About Charity Board

Continuing his alleged expose of
the charity departments method Of
conducting the city's business, Alder
man Q. r. Curtis today makes the
statement that the way the board
manages the town farm bids. fair to
cost the city $4,000. His statement
follows:
TT is claimed in their annual re-
port that there was a profit in the
dairy products for 1917, Of over
$4,000. How much will it. be for
1918? All but four head Of the dairy
herd gone since the last day of May
and only one milch COW added the
latter part of November, and two
prospective new mixers for Feb
ruaTy, and after that others next
summer. We have an unfinished $40
600 barn, said to be. the best in the
state, with one old grain box with
the cover off its hinges, two small old
rough edged dry goods boxes with no
cover for grain storage, and several
Tneal or other feed bags standing
around on end with the contents run
ming over with chance to be par
TALLY wasted We used to have them
as good as that 60 years ago, as l
remember.
This barn is equipped to care Tor
over 80 head Of stock. It is or has
been used for ~ past six or eight
months for tn Aorses.
! There was A.. ~ of feed raised to
take care of q or 80 head. The
council granted money July II, 1918,
for buying more stock, the same hour
it. was brought to their attention. Still
this up-to-date board did not pur-
chase any stock until four months
later. and then did not get anything
to get immediate returns from ex-
Sept one COW.
How many thousand dollars this
past experience has cost 1t is hard to
tell, but it must be many in loss of
interest on the investment in the barn
