Alleged Shortage: up at Town Moat.
an.
WATERTOWN. Feb. 9.——Alloged
shortages in the accounts of the town
treasurer, Burton H. Mattoon, were
considered yesterday afternoon at the
town meeting which was attended by
about four hundred citizens. There
was much discussion of the report sub-
mitted by W. J. Munsou. chairman of
the special Investigating committee.
and it was not accepted until after all
its phases had been pretty thoroughly
aired. Mr Mattoott was asked man,»
1 questions and replied cooly to all. He
l declared that many or the alleged
shortages mentioned as having existed
In the treasurers bortks during the
last ten years had been cleared tip and
he was confident that_the examination
by an expert whom he had engaged
. would clear up other socailed short-
ages.
Horace D. Tai‘t. presided as chair-
man of the. meeting. The report of the
committee was practically the saute as
that of the experts whose findings
were presented at the special town
meeting several weeks ago The as
gregate deficiency in the town books
I was said to be about 823. 000. On Octo-
ber l.1893, there was found to be no
deficiency. but a surplus of $6191.09 in
l the treasury, with few outstanding
debts. On Octobet I 1894. the Irport

in 1897. and $4 000 additional in tool.
The committee found that false entries
had been made to cover nearly all the,
l alleged shortage and that several notes
were given to savings banks of which
no entry appeared In the town books,

by counsel for Mr. Brynn to a plea In
abatement filed by counsel for Mrs.
Ilennett. wife of the testntor. from Mr.

decision. The decision says In part:
"The appoalanl. appeals not only
from the decree disallowing probate to

"The. decree as panned In the pro-

this appeal. ’Ine probate cottrt there-
fore was bottnd to permit the Itppclant

him an administrator with the wilt

”The situation was a peculiar ouc.
