Town Council in Session
This Afternoon.
THE DEXTER STREET SEWER
Venerable Grandma" Brown Buried
Today-All the News.

At the meeting of the Town Council
this afternoon plans were presented for a
trunk sewer In Dexter street and the mat
ter OF granting permission to proceed with
the work was considered. Last year the
town appropriated 10000 for the COM
mencement of the work in accordance
with the plans submitted by an expert
engineer.
1t has been conceded by all commission
ers that the western district should be
| severed before any section OF the town,
but 1t was such great undertaking and
| is was so hard to settle upon the bsst
| method that IL was neglected by many of
the boards. The system involves an ul-
| innate expenditure of more than a half
| million dollars for the territory drained
ia greater than that In any OF her section
The topography of the town divides it
into several sewerage systems each being
independent of the other.
The report was lengthy with several
| recommendations.
| The trunk sewer in Dexter street would
| be egg shaped to facilitate the fiowage o5
house sewage. The Hunt street system
| will meet the Dexter street sewer at the
corner of Crossman street, aad a very
| large brick sewer at least six feet in d.
ameter will run from Dexter street to
/ Lonsdale avenue. There will be a dam
constructed and the house sewage will be
carried to the filter beds and the storm
sewage will be run into a ditch and
finally disposed OF I'm the Moshassuck
river as at present. The only expense that
this system will incur Will be the pur-
| chasing of the meadow land.
| There are many In town who profess to
believe that the proposed system Will not
| be built this year or until the railway
| company has settled upon the kind of
line 1t wishes to build on Dexter street.
The taxpayers of the Western district arc
anxiously awaiting some decided action.
| Stolen Bicycle Recovered.
The bicycle belonging to William Doll
that was stolen from i'm front OF a store on
| North Main street In Pawtucket Thurs
| day night was recovered Saturday even
| ing In a peculiar manner. A bakers
| wagon was standing on the street and the
| driver was In a house. When the driver
came outof the house he saw young man
helping himself to some pastry, white tho

young man became nervous when he saw
the driver and ran up the street leaving
the bicycle behind. The driver was con-
tented to keep the wheel in payment for
the bread taken, so he let the boy go on
his way.
The police were notified and the young
| man whose name is Thomas Smith was
