He declared that hz consid- ered it a good move and wanted to help it along by his subscription. The total is now $1,300.

(Continued from Peage Five.) giving up the charity work a good one He contrasted the differance between the towns of the east with the new and growing west. He doesn’t think there can be a just administration of the charity funds while they are in politics. He commanded the present town administration, however, and thought the funds should be handlec by men who do it without fear or fa- vor as long as they act wisely and prudently. There should be a scientific and careful inyestigation of cases anc the charity fund should 'be taken fron politics. _ T. C. Murphy thought the could all be handled in the selectmen’s office if the three members of the board were given an equal salary and all were there and attended to the work, and not leave it for one. A. S. Spalding Expiains. Declaring that he was out of politics, although he had been in the game, A.'S. Spalding stated that while once selectman he is now clerk in the office, his salary and that of another clerk He spoke in high terms of both the first selectmen who preceded and followed him in office. The year preceding his election ‘there was spent for outside poor $22,000. In his first year this was cut' to $13,000, the next year it went to $9,000, and the third year to $6,000, a difference in three years of $16,000 for outside poor. The investigation in that term was full in every sense, and a record was left of every case on his leaving the office. He stated that he was defeated on his fourth nomination because those who were cut off, their friends and relatives, the merchants who received the benefit of the extra $16,000 were sympathetic with the poor. There was not a case cut off but what a reason could be given for it, and when he cut -off the gift of charity funds he knew he was right, and knows it now. Ap- plause.) There is the same investigation now as. there was ten years ago. ' There may be some who get it who do not deserve it, but they get it until it is found they are not deserving. Yeu do not want to find fault with the.present adminisiration if it is lower taxes and the squandering of less money n.u desire. The town for the vyear |u=l ending will give the best showing in years. He declared that there is too much polities in Norwich for the good | He'® appreciated that he was grossly misrepresented by those who were hit when he left office, but there are lots of charitable people in Norwich when they are giving away other peopls’ money. (Applause.) He declared in closing that this town is $20,000 better off today than it was a year ago, which met with more ap- plause. After a short discussion it was vot- ed that the chair appoint a commit- tee of three to confer-with the select- men and report to a future meeting on some line of action this board would recommend in connection with the dis- pensing of charities of Norwich. It was also voted that it is the sense of the meeting that the report of the selectmen in regard to the economical administration of the outside poor ac- count the past vear be commended and that the selectmen be requested to avail themselves of all the information presented to them or available in re- gard to the applicants for the outside relief. The session then adjourned to the banquet hall for a buffet lunch, and it was about 11 o’clock before they dis- persed. OBITUARY. Mrs. Richard Lewis.
