IN CENTRAL FALLS.
The Work on High and
Central Streets.
BEAUTIFUL JENKS PARK.
Bray Pleads GuiltY-Arranging For
Big Union Parade.

IL il very probable that the work or
Central street has gone about as far as it
will go until there is another meeting OF
the taxpayers and more money is appro-
priated for highway work. The street has
been widened as far IA High street. The
space from the latter street 90 the railroad
is still the usual width and it pre-ents
very funny appearance to stand on Mill
street or ut the railroad and look up or
| down. High street is still impassable,
but before long IL will be ready for travel
| from Central street To the city line. The
| town men are doing the paving for the
| Interstate and as soon as that is COM
| pleted crushed stone will be filed in be-
tween paving outside the rails and the
| curbstone and the steam roller will be
| put to work making macadamized road
| way.
The setting back OF the fence in front of
| John II. Goldsworthy's residence seems TO
| be hard job, as men, under the direction
of Surveyor Patt, have been working on
! it for a week and yet it is undone. The
| Cole block at the corner Of Central street
has been moved back and the upper part
of High street towards Valley Falls is all
torn up, putting in a sewer, laying rails,
setting curbing, etc, and will not DC I'm
ished for some time To come.
| jerks Park.
| Another Summer has nearly passed and
the work OF fixing up jerks Park so that
IL would be presentable to the public has
not been finished. ID is safe enough to
| say that it was a far bigger job than many
| people imagined. 1t is small, but it was
| designed to be fitted up In very elabo-
| rate manner, when II has taken time and
money and will take more. However,
| when It is finished IL will be thing of
beauty and JOY forever About week
| ago work was begun OF the foundation
for the small fountain near Broad street
and the fountain itself IL now being
placed In position. 1t will be a very neat
| affair. Directly back of IL, on a little
higher ground, IL the largest fountain in
the park. Almost on a line with that,
in a small valley near the Washington
street side, is a miniature lake. while
there is another sheet Of silvery water on
the Broad street side at tho foot OF the
mountain. On the summit OF this min
iature Mount Washington is q large
fountain, Summer house and grotto.
| II will be beautiful place and credit to
the village. A resident of Pawtucket re-
marked the other day that the people OF
this place have shown more generosity
and enterprise in this line than the home
OF Samuel Slater.
