CENTRAL FALLS.
About tho Widening of High street-New
Police Ruies-Banquet Postponed.

written about the commissioners appoint
ed to widen High street abandoning the
work and allowing the whole matter
to rest where II Is, for a time at least.
Estimates of the cost have also been
made and the amount needed has been
said to be too large. Now that is all
nonsense. The commission has been APP
pointed and a report should be waited for
before such unjust criticism.
II has been said that the commission Is
delaying the matter to freeze out the Inter
state Street Railway Company. Give the
men chance to make report first before
such a statement is made. There is no
reason why this commission should wish
TO keep the new electric road from going
through as there is 10 question In the
minds of anyone but what the proposed
street car line will be a benefit, The work
to be done by the committee before
thorough report can be made is of no
small amount and II Will be better to take
time and perform the duties properly than
to make a hurried report, with the work
half done. Nobody disputes the fact that
the r. are other streets in the town just
as much in need OF improvements as High
or Central street. Dexter street has been
for long time In a very bad condition.
The wicening of that street is a much
bigger undertaking than the widening OF
High street from the city line To the arch.
Both cannot be done at once and neither
can be done just now. Even IL feverything
was ready to begin, the High street i'm

spring.
So il everybody keeps cool the improve
ments will cowe in time, not altogether,
but one at time. Perhaps the residents
of the western district think Dexter street
should have the preference on account of
survey having been made. Perhaps it
has, but the present administration doesn't
see lit to carry out the plans of its prede-
cessor, 80 what can be done about it3
Patience Is virtue.
