The Electric Light Contract
Last week the contract for lighting the
streets expired and for one year he people
are supposed TO have had electric lights
with which their paths have been made
clear after dark.
To say that the lights have given salts
faction would be wrong, for they have
not. Numerous complaints have been
made to the Board Of Firewards, and the
members themselves have seen the
defect.
Sometimes they were so dim that gas
lamps would be an improvement. There
were certain lights that persisted IN going
out at about the time when they were
most needed.
This is liable to happen anywhere and
to any light at times, but not continually,
as has been the case here. During the
past month the service has been very poor
The company claimed that there was
some trouble along the line and that they
had remedied 1t, but the Board would
never have known it unless informed, as
there was no change I'm the lights.
good price is paid for the lights and
good service is expected and should be
had, or else the company is not fulfilling
its contract.
The contract has been renewed or con-
tinued. The old contract holds good
from time TO time unless revoked.
The Coming Muster.
One week from today the veteran fire.
men will go to Cottage City and take with
them the now handsome engine, the
Volunteer, and il is hoped will bring
home prize.
This will be the first contest the engine
has entered since the Lowell muster, the
FIRST prize coming to Central Falls. The
engine was not i'm the best of condition
that day.
the muster in Providence on the 9TH of
July was because the company was not
notified in time and the engine was in
pieces.
Now 1t is ready and has been made a
beauty In every respect. The finishing
touches have been put on and it is by far
the handsomest and best machine in New
England.
A new set Of heavy low wheels has been
added and this will insure strength. The
wheels are painted white and are deco
rated with gold, silver and black, and
are hair-lined with blue. The body is
finished up I'm the natural wood-mahog-
any. The brakes and the iron work are
finished i'm silver, and the air chamber
and trimmings are nickel-plated.
The local "vets" are anxious to meet the
Hay Cart boys one week from today.
