CENTRAL FALLS.
An Old Resident Watches the Cutting Down
ofa Tree He Saw Planted rs years Ago.

uo"h VI tne Dig tree on the corner of
High and Central streets was George
Cummings, Sr.
Mr.. Cummings is SO years of age and
said he saw the tree planted there rs years
ago and wanted to stay and see It cut
down.
No one would believe Mr.. Cummings is
as old as he really is. The tree Is a mon
ster and II seems too bad to cut 1t down,
but 1t stands In the street.
"Children's Day"
This morning II looked like children's
day In the District Court room for there
were no less than twenty neatly dressed
youngsters within the mill of Justice.
The reason for their presence was that
their mothers were there as witnesses I'm
an assault case. Joseph Emo, about 10
years of age, was charged with an assault
on Edward Taylor Of about the same age,
on the 3lst.
Ii seems that young Erno and his four
year r-old sister were out walking and Tay-
lor somehow hit the little girl. Emo
thereupon thrashed Taylor and the war
rant was sworn out.
The court said 1t was very trivial affair
and did not want to prevent the boy from
defending his sister, but would be Obliged
to hne the defendant q and cost.
The Cow Case.
This morning the trial of Michael Riley
for an assault on a special officer was con-
tinued until the 10th.
The Dexter Street Matter.
The Council is to give a hearing to the
abutters on the Dexter street when all
those having any grievance to state In re-
gard to the proposed widening should be
present.
While every abutter on the street should
stand forth for every cent that is Justly
due him oil must remember that IL they
want more than the damage to their prop
erty is worth they will be only him
drance to the improvement and will
cause themselves and the town needless
expense. 1t would have probably been
better II there had been no appropriation
until the commission had made its esti-
mate, but 1t has been done and the abut-
tiers should not take advantage of the fact.
The Time Draws Near.
1t Is now near the middle of September
and yet Mr.. Authier has made no effort as
far as is known to make arrangements to
meet Mr.. Lenthier of the La National Of
Lowell, Mass.
Some time ago Mr.. Lenthier challenged
Mr.. Authier to meet him I'm a debate on
the tarin question, either in this village
or Pawtucket, before November 1. Now
II Mr.. Authier was anxious to meet that
gentleman he would have Immediately
made arrangements and have notified the
Lowell gentleman OF the time and place
fixed. He has said that he has been trying
to meet Mr.. Lenthier for the past twelve
years and that he was always unable to do
80 on account Of that gentleman failing to
appear. Now Mr.. Lenthier says that It is
Just the other way; that he has been try
ing every available means to meet the
L'Esperance editor for years and that the
latter would never agree to anything.
The way to settle this Is to have meet
ing of the men. Mr.. Lepthier states
through friend In Pawtucket that he is
ready at any time. The French people
would be pleased to see two OF their coun-
trymen debate and II Mr.. Authier is not
afraid TO meet his would be antagonist,
let him secure a suitable hall and dx q
time. Mr.. Lenthier will surely be there.
Insecure Buildings.
This village Is building up so fast
that In the past few years many large
structures have been erected and more are
contemplated. As a place grows 80 does
the number OF stores and buildings.
AS this Is the case here now the Office of
important.
In this town Mr.. Simmons is the Inspec-
tor and very competent one too. At tho
last meeting of the Council he informed
that body that many large buildings had
been and were being erected and that they
were not being put up as they ought To
be.s
His idea was to have an ordinance i'm
this town the same as In cities to compel
persons erecting buildings to do the work
properly 30 that there would be no danger
to either workmen or occupants after
wards.
The salary is not enough for a man to
devote his entire time to the discharge Of
the duties OF this Office but the time has
arrived when something should be dona
In that line. This salary should be madi
large enough for man to be able to giva
his time to the work and then the Council
should see that he does IL. The village is
growing very fast and the citizens musu
sooner or later become citified I'm moro
ways than one.
