SIX THE HBWPORT MERCURY AND WEEKLY FRIDAY, PEBRUAP.Y_2B,19« ALDERMEN GET BIDS ON ANNUAL AUDIT Two Firms Submit Prices For Fiscal Year in 1'nvor of New Concern To Do Work; Praises Snow Removal Work GETS D. A. R. AWAED WOMEN'S I A SPEAKER RAPS REMOVAL The Board of Aldermen re ceived and took under advisement for recommendation to the Representative Council last Thursday aftcrnooim two bids for auditing city books for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1911. The bids were from Bare and Hanover, of Providence, and Ernst and Ernst $3,005.

The bids brought about considerable discussion before they were referred. Mayor Herbert B. Macauley said he favored the Introduction of new blood, Lees had the work for a dozen years or so, anu the opposing bidder was national organization. He questioned a few things on the books and thought there should be a check on land that had been condemned before purchase by Uio city for water purposes. Alderman James A.

Dwyer said that Norman S. Taber in his report had spoken highly of the Lees firm. He thought it would be advisable to see what the city treasurer would say. The city treasurer, George A. Bisson, Henry C.

Kirawe of 19 Berkeley avenue and a Senior at Rogers High School, who was awarded tlio Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizenship phi and chosen as candidate for the annual national Pilgrimage sponsored by tiie organization. Many of the differences of opinion on city government matters may bo fundamentally petty, Henry C.

Wilkinson, chairman of the Third Ward Republican Committee and former councilman, told the Newport County Women's Republican Club last Thursday afternoon, but the "spiteful removal of Frank M. Grcenlaw from the Board of Health after years of could not be regarded by the Republican party in this city as a matter to be considered lightly. Mrs. Henry S. Wheeler, president of the group, was In charge Over 100 girls were present last a at the first meeting of the Followers of Emily Post Club at Rogers High School.

The sporsors of the organization, Miss Ruth Wcstall and Miss Mary Pierce, Freshman class counselors, were present as faculty advisors. Fao Tilley, president, was In charge after the election of officers, but up until that time Hilda Monks acted as temporary chairman of the meeting. (She Introduced Miss Amabel North, who spoke regarding the courtesy expected of higli school girls at all times. She stressed behavior on the street, In busses and at the movies. The slate of officers was then presented by the nominating committee, consisting of Barbara Augustus, Beverly Barry, Kstellc Burn, Marcia Hersey and Hilda Monks.

The officers: President, Fae Tilley; vice president, Jean MacAuliffc, and said Uie Lees firm had made recommendations such as the general ledger In the treasurer's office, and the fact that it had never been carried out was no fault of the firm. Mr. BIsson said both bidders were reliable. Ho pointed out that the council resolution said the aldermen were merely to ask for bids. He felt the Lees bid, which was lower, was acceptable and he favored It.

Snow Removal Praised Mayor Macauley said he had no objection, but he felt that the introduction of a new firm would be good for the city. Tho mayor commended the public works department for the snow removal work. He said the cost -to tile city was only $1,634. The mayor asked about the fire department examlnallonsand Chief Abel S. Eldridge said five men had taken it.

The board took up the matter of the coming Fellows were DR. HILDA IVES CITES DEMOCRACY AIMS Ordained Minister Addresses Discussion Meeting at Spring Street USD The second In a series of four discussion meetings dealing with readjustment of social relations after the war was held at the USO Club on Spring street last Thursday, with Dr. Hilda Ives, of the faculty of Andover Newton Theological Seminary, as the speaker. Mrs. Ives, who Is an ordained minister, was introduced by Mrs.

Harold Barnes, chairman of the USO advisory committee. Miss Sarah Champlln King sang two solos, with Alfred Swlr.den as accompanist. Mrs. Ivcs said that even though our armies and navies win every engagement, democracy will not be saved without changes of attitude Inside our country. Citing the histories of the great empires of the past 15,000 years, that crumbled because of corruption within, she declared that social justice and equality of opportunity for nil Americans must be achieved If our democracy is to survive.

Maintaining that color has nothing to do with" personality or character, she drew illustrations from the ot the meeting at the Newport Historical Society, Introducing Mr. Wilkinson who touched briefly upon the national political picture, speaking primarily upon specific points of controversy in.city government. He declared that he was not a candidate for any salaried city office. Mrrt Wilkinson said that Republican losses in Newport were not a result of being outnumbered In tiie city by the opponents, but a lack of activity by party members themselves when activity was necessary. To correct this, the speaker urged a concentrated effort by this group to come to know the new people in Newport and ask them to register.

Referring to Mr. Greenlaw's removal from service, Mr. Wilkinson praised his many years of work and his interest in many projects for the improvement of heallli conditions in the city, the many hours he spent at this city work for which he received no pay. Discussing the confusion he felt would arise from the recently enacted fire ordinance, Mr. Wilkinson told ftls audience that under this law, the assistant fire chief assumes his command.

if necessary, only when the fire chief is himself available, and if the chief cannot act, tho deputy fire chief assumes authority, stepping above the assistant fire chief who remains In that po- tary, Phyllis Nemtzow.

Mr.

Wilkinson said that the proposal to have the government share the expense of the city incinerator is not a new idea, of the present administration, but was an Idea advanced during Republican terms. Urging his listeners to consider the ability of. the candidate and not the personality, he concluded with a reminder to keep unity, support any good candidate, and help with registration.

The Tivcrton contention, as presented by William P. Sheffield, attorney for the town, was that the federal acquisition of Nonquit violated rights set aside for Tiverton residents by the proprietors, who purchased the land from the Indians.

Under this original deed, the committee, which was headed by Senator William G. Troy, Providence Democrat, was told that the northeasterly side of the pond was set aside for the benefit of Tiverton residents forever, and that those who had purchased land from the proprietors were given the right to water their cattle from Nonquit pond forever. The federal government, in taking the property, deposited $100'' for these rights, Mr. Sheffield informed the committee. Another argument advanced was that the federal government had taken the water witiiout Uue consideration for Tiverton's loss.

The town had legislative authority to establish a fire district, using Very few fathers had.been called "I have spoken as though we slhce January 1, because of the i were on the threshold of victory.
