BR ATTLEBORO SOCIETY.
Old Board of (selectmen And Road Com
missioner Eaines VS In Hands Down-
Debt to be Kelunded and Opera House
Expenditure Approved Mill Liberal
and Inconsiderate In Voting Away
Money Some Cnpleasant Episodes.
Town meeting Tuesday was a pro
tracted one, as expected, but developed
less uglines than had been looked for.
The feeling was there in full abun
dance, as evidenced by tho fact of one
of tho largest attendances we ever had,
but with some skillful management on
one side and ill timed assaults on tbe
other, it did not have serious results.
Provision was made in full to pay for
the opera house project, as we are
bound by every consideration of honor
and good faith under the cireum
stances to do. Any payment of debt
for this year was stopped, and a plan
adopted for refunding under an enab
ling act of the legislature and to
strengthen it by mixing in the town
bouse and opera house debt with it.
Tho five per cent, tax for macadam
road was nut voted, but everything
else asked for or proposed was voted,
and the only positive and definite pro
posal to bring in little money, in
the Angeln matter, was oveiwhelmiug
ly voted iown. On the whole it was
a sorry beginning towards the policy
of economy which the town ha.i got to
adopt, if it is to grow and prosper.
Tbe old board of select meu was
handsomely vindicated by a re-election
with majorities ranging from between
two and six to one. It was an expres-
. siou of appreciation of good service in
j the main, though issues, like that of
jthe troliey and widening Maple street,
j which made the Esteyviile vote solid,
; were involved. Mr. B .yden who
jlu-aied the opposition ticket, like the
: ever courteous gentleman he ia, made
I no attack on the old board wL'hh good
i service in a general way lie conceded,
j standing rather as a second test on tbe
: trolley and town ha!! issuin on which
' he was defeated last year. As a mat
' tor of pcrinal strength purely, it is
! probably safe to say that lr. Webster
j is the oniv man in town that could
lia.e beateu him. There was a close
content over the town treasureshiti,
with Cashier W. H. Hrac'ett of the
People's bank as the candidate against
Mr. Dowley. The contest was not
personal, no ono questioning the qual
ifications of either man, but between
the banks, the argument bring that
one has had the town businesw so long
that it oueht to be changed to the
other. But against this were the con
siderations, which prevailed of Mr.
Dowley's skillful work for the towu iu
the past and his long and 9troug
financial connections, enabling him to
handle largo matters with a faciltiy that
few in Xew England ran match, as
illustrated by the fact that in the panic
time he was able to carry some jls.000
of loans for the town at five per cent
where the money market run from S to
30.
The meeting opened promptly at 9
o'clock, the lirst article being action
