Posting of Indecent Placards.

The following petition protesting
against the posting of show bills calcu-
lated to exercise an injuriousrInfuence
especially upon the young, was presented
and referred TO the committee on shows
and exhibitions
Your petitioners respectfully represent
that many OF the hand bills, posters and
show bills OF various theatrical and scenic
exhibitions from time to time displayed in
our streets are of such n character that
they have an injurious influence upon all,
and especially the young, who arc forced
10 see them.
Your petitioners, therefore, urgently
petition your honorable body TO take
action in regard to the removal OF such
show bills, as upon investigation, may, in
your judgment, seem TO be pernicious or
harmful; and also TO exercise
such control of the licenses OF shows,
as may in future prevent the display OF
indecent placards to the vexation OF our
worthy citizens.
The petition was signed by the follow
ing gentlemen: Il. Il. Richmond, Royal
&. Taft. Eugene w. Mason, Robert
knight, William w. White, Earl Philip
Mason, j. II. Pomroy.
The board adjourned 10 Thursday, May
3, at 3 o'clock.

New Fire Station.

Alderman Watson presented the report
OF the joint standing committee on fire
department directed TO ascertain and re-
port the cost OF lot near Broad street,
between Roger Williams Park and the
city line, suitable for erecting a build
ing TO be used as fire
station. The report stated that
the lot located in the Second District OF
the Sixth Ward and bounded by Broad,
Plain and Jillson streets, would be a most
suitable location for such a station. The
lot contains about 5000 square feet and il
provided with both water and sewer
connections and the streets sur
rounding il are all up to grade.
the lot IL 40 situated that company
located thereon would afford ample pro-
lection to the Washington Park and
other districts In that vicinity. PrOtec-
tioD would also be afforded 20 the Auburn
dale district and 10 the property
located in Roger Williams Park.
The lot can be purchased for the sum OF
S2700 and the committee believing IL de-
sifable location presented n resolution
authorizing the committee on fire depart
ment 10 purchase the lot, the cost not to
exceed s27OO. 10 was adopted.
Alderman Little moved an amendment

words 'at the approval of the city sOlici-
tor or Mayor and II was 10 voted.

Ncwsboys and Bootblacks.


Alderman Ballou reported, at the re-
quest of the chief OF police, a set of rules
to govern "newsboys" and "bootblacks"
making it necessary for them to receive
permits from the chief to ply their
badges owned and issued by the city, the
chief 10 have the power at any time to re-
woke the permit Alderman West OBJ
jected to the rules on the ground that
the ordinary laws against reveling
were sufficient for the misdemeanors of
the boys il they committed any, and be-
cause il would be unfair 10 place the
newsboys and bootblacks at the mercy Of
every pstrolman. The matter was laid on
the table.
A Joint resolution was passed author
iZing the Mayor TO enter into IAN agree
ment with William M. Bailey and Amasa
Nj. Eaton, trustees OF the estate OF Sarah
B. Eaton, whereby the city may construct
and maintain forever sewer
through the lands OF the estate. The
agreement is for the purpose
oil securing the right OF way for sewerage
which comes through Davis Park and the
district north OF that, taking in Vans
kuck and all portions of the Tenth and
Third wards where sewers are not already
In operation. The sewer will run through
private land and would not necessarily be
assessed although the parties interested
have signiiied their willingness to pay for
the benefits.

Protection from Excessive Claims.

The committee on damage under the
dog law reported that the accounts Of j.
q. Parkhurst appraising damages sus-
tanned by eight persons had been referred
TO them. And that they had examined
into said cases and found in but few
instances is there any absolute proof
that the hens, for which damages
were claimed, were killed by dogs. These
claims are becoming very numerous and
the committee does not think that the
city ought to be compelled to pay 81
every time a 50-cent hen meets
with violent death when nothing is
known about dog, hen or owners
thereof. The committee does not think
that Section 10 of Chapter SO OF the Public
Statutes which provides for this payment,
was intended to apply to a city, but
rather for the small towns and villages,
and that SO far as the city of Providence is
concerned il should be repealed.
The eight claims were returned and the
payment of one-half of the appraised
value in each case recommended.
The report did not say SO, but Chairman
West OF the committee presenting it
threw out hint to the effect that the
same dead hen was made to figure in
several cases by being passed around
among the friends OF the owner OF the
deceased, each of whom would receive q
dollar.
in relation to the matter the following
resolution was made and passed:
"That the city solicitor be and is hereby
directed to apply to the General Assembly
for the passage of such legislation as will
exempt the City OF Providence from the
provisions OF Section 10, Chapter 90 OF the
Public Statutes relative to the payment of
claims for damage done by dogs"
