Eedistrioting Committee Yet To BE Heard
From-School Census-Sotes.

! From-SchoOl Census-Notes.
II was announced by certain parties
! previous to the calling to order of tire
/ Council Saturday afternoon, that the re-
districting committee was ready to report,
that the bill had been drawn up and was
ready to be favorably considered by
! Rhode Island lawmakers.
: However, the committee did not report
and it remains a question why ii did moi.
The actions of this committee have been
curious and laughable. Since the appoint
ment, every member has acted as though
he was engaged in work that might be
termed as "high treason" and that he
was at all times shadowed by half dozen
expert detectives a band OF Russian
/ Nihilists could not have made a better
attempt at keeping the plans secret.
| Inquiry from any memb at any time
always brought the same answer, that he
! knew nothing OF when they had met,
would meet or what had been done. All
this keep il quiet" business was un-
necessary. 1t is "A matter of public inter
est and the people naturally felt that as
public servants the members OF the com

Despite the extraordinary procaution, Il
is stated on good authority that there viii
be seven districts, three in Central Falls
and one each in LIMERICK, Saylesvillc,
Manville and Lonsdale.
What new snag the committee struck,
which prevented a report, remains to be
| unearthed.
Not Ready To Report
The commission appointed by the Town
Council sometime ago to examine into
the probable cost and manner of widen
| ing High street from the city line to the
arch under the n. V, p. q b. railroad and
the extention of the street from the arch
to Broad street, was not ready to report
to the Council Saturday afternoon.
John III. Barber, one of the commission,
said that the matter OF widening the street
had not as yet been considered az all as
they thought it best TO complete the sur
vey Of the extension first
He said the widening OF the street was Il
big job, larger than great many people
imagine, and would require plenty of
time for the commission TO select the
most feasible plan and receive the opin-
ions of the abutters and other interested
parties.
There is no particular hurry, as work
could not be begun, at the earliest, until
spring, but the question Of extending the
street should be decided at once as several
new industries have sprung up on what
will be the ext tension.

The school Census.
The work OF taking thc.schoOl census is
not yet completed. B. Frank Bowen has
been so busly engaged IN helping to
manage the iremcn's fair for the past
week that he has not attempted to COM
plete his work. When the work was
begun n certain section was laid out for
each man, but when they got started IL
4. was not long before each one began to
accuse the others of infringing on his
territory. In some instances it was true,
as in the case OF Enumorator Lalibertc,
who attempted to take in Garfield street,
but found that Bowen had been there.
The street belonged TO Bowen according
to tho agreement. It shows the "boys'
are anxious to get every dollar available
while they can. The pudding may not
last long.
