fore the judiciary committee because il
WAS Intended that pe,iuon should he
presented. but IL had been neglected. He
moved that the action indefinitely post
poning the act be reconsidered.
Mr.. Blodgel OF Pawtucket said that il
the gentleman had no right TO make the
motion he would move r, consideration.
Mr.. Wilson OF East Providence said
that the bill was considered in COMMITTEES
OH its merits, and IL was a different

and towrs

The Providence Steam Heating company
TO the Columbis Ice aud Refrigeratin1
company. Mr.. Mccarthy objected TO the
passage as IL would give IL certain rights
which ought TO be advertised for three
passed recently, and suggested that ''1 it be
rtcommitted.
Mr.: Brown explained that the company
could not lay pipes unless the CITY coun-
Gil should grant the permission.
Mr.. Baker of Providence read the orig
inal acI which apparently proved Mr..
Browns statement.
Mr.. Blodgett thought there was some
doubt as to whether the same restrictions
would prevail. There shonld be no doubt
rs 10 whether the city OF Providence had
the power TO prevent any such use OF its
streets. Ihe new company wished To use
Inc streets Tor pipes and the object,
though different from the original one
should not be overlooked.

opposed TO the provisions Of the act |
which allowed the company TO 20 int, |
the real estate, commission, ice aud ware

still holding the privilege of laying
