That the somewhat caustic remarks
of james Cosgrovc at st. Johnsbuiy 5
village meeting Wednesday ON the
loose management of municipal III
fairs met with the endorsement oil
the voters present was evidenced by
the applause that his brief speech re-
ceived. Mr.. Cosgrove particularly
said that he did not charge anyone
with any misuse Of public funds nor
did he believe that the town OF VII
lase ever had any official that could
be accused of graft" He did, how
ever, believe there ought to be a rem
dering of accounts at an annual
meeting aside from lot of figures
in a printed book, and he was SUI
prised that no one of the trustees
were present to explain how much
1oorcv should be raised to finance the
municipality in 1920. Many others
shared in his surprise.
As a result of his pointed remarks
a committee was appointed to rcport
on the possibility of adopting the
commission form OF government IN
municipal affairs. A strong COM
mittce will give this Iaatter carefui
consideration and theiffeport on this
progressive method&sof government
will be awaited With much Interest.
