IMPROVEMENT AT wANsKUCK.
The Election OF Ohicers and Discussion of
Needs Last Night.

ENScus A"St ~'Ash's
The Third Ward Improvement Society
met last evening at 25l Branch avenue.
Dennis ii. Sheahan was elected president
and Terrence Oates vice president. John
McManus secretary and John T. Rafferty,
treasurer. The object of last nights
meeting was 10 discuss plans for tmprov-
ing the Wanskuck district.
Mr.. Sheahan said that Wanskuck was n
compactly built district, but it was
doubtful il any district in the State of the
same assessed value had received so little
in the way OF public improvement in re-
turn for the taxes paid by the property
holders. The streets were in wretched
condition. and IL appeared To be the set
tied policy OF the city authorities to put as
little work and money towards the inn
provement of the highways as possible.
Another great need of the district is
rapid transit TO and from the centre of the
city. Under the present street car SER
vice man who lives in Wanskuck can
not reach the centre of the city in any
shorter time than man living in Attle-
boro. The establishment OF the Vans
kuck line of street cars was of much
benefit TO the district, but the present
needs Of the district with regard to street
car service could better be served by the
establishment OF q street car route along
Douglas avenue. He had no doubt that
the management of the Union Railroad
Company would meet the people of the
district half way in the matter of provid-
ing better street car service. The forma-
tioprSf this Improvement Club showed a
desire on the part OF the residents OF the
district TO take concerted action towards
securing much needed improvements, and
there was good field Of labor before the
club.
Mr.. Rafferty, spoke in the same strain,
and committee composed of Mr.. Shea
han, Mr.. RAFFERTY,. Farrell Higgins and
James III. Doherty were appointed to pre-
pare constitution and bylaws. The
