Tuesday Evening Session. 
Moderator Allen called the meet- 
ng to order at 7.15. The hall was 
well filled. 
_N. P. Meldrum took the floor and 
called for Art. 2, and the financial 
statement of the selectmen. He 
asked to be excused for being ab- 
sent when this article came up Mon- 
day. He explained some of the un- 
paid bills as appears in the report. 
“My friend Dodge,” said Mr. Mel- 
drum, “made an outcry yesterday 
why these bills were unpaid, and 
‘stated how ‘he had been given 15 
minutes in which to pay at one time 
or else his water would be turned 
memeelieite bad been the present 
board he Wouldnt have had -15 
minutes.” As regards the turning 
off of water, Mr. Meldrum explained 
that the rules say service piping 
must be paid for before the water 
is turned on. That was never en- 
forced. The rule says in cases of 
all unpaid bills at the end of 30 davs 
the water must be turned off. If 
you will give an expression to this 
effect we will carry it out. 
C. C. Dodge—“Will Mr. Meldrum 
explain what is the item ‘water 
meter bills 1905, $419.30°?” 
Mr. Meldrum—‘That is what : 
have been talking about the past 15 
minutes.”

asked to be excused from serving. 
Granted. ¢ Charles A. Mason, paint- 
er, was appointed in his place.  Si- 
mon Mears and Lewis Andrews 
were both excused from serving. 
Art. 5—John Baker moved that 
an appropriation committee of three 
for three years be appointed from 
the chair. 
M. E. Gorman amended. by 
stituting: “I move | 
mittees appointed by 
appointed by : 
floor.” 
I. J. Merrill hoped this would not 
go*through. This is an important 
committee and it should be = ap- 
pointed after deep consideration, 
and the moderator was competent 
to appoint three men. 
M. E. Gorman said he didn’t cast 
any reflections on the moderator, 
but thought the citizens of the town 
competent to judge. He noticed 
when a committee was appointed it 
was always selected from the front 
rows. You ought to go back in the 
hall, he said. There are good citi- 
zens here and competent to serve. 
C. O. Howe thought the commit- 
tee should be nominated from the 
floor. It isn’t hard work for the 
moderator to nominate. He has the 
list before him now. 
OQ. T. Roberts—‘I believe this 
business should be done in a busi- 
ness-like way. There are certain 
men. more fitted for certain things 
than others. I think it a good plan 
to appoint men for what they have 
to do and then you get the best com- 
mittee.” 
The question on the amendment 
lost, 36 to 73. The original motion 
was carried, and the moderator ap- 
pointed F. K. Hooper, E. S. Knight 
and B. Bullock. Mr. Knight af- 
terward resigned and @: [si2,Graits
