IN CENTRAL FALLS.
Mondays Meeting of the
Council Will Be Lively.
THE POOR DEPARTMENT.
Union Meeting Of the French Societies
Tomorrow Night.

OF the Town Council Monday afternoon
will be the liveliest held for many
months. The session is for the purpose
OF making the annual canvass OF the vot.
ing lists for the coming Spring election,
but there are certain other things to come
up for consideration and In which there is
much interest manifested. The extern
sively signed petitions asking that the
Council rescind Its vote whereby the Paw
tucket Street Railway Company was
granted permission to lay double rails on
Broad street will be presented and the
| supporters of the remonstrance will be
present In large numbers to demonstrate
| that the Council acted most unwisely In
the matter OF granting such important
privileges without a hearing to the tax
payers or those directly interested in the
matter, the abutters.
Many of the signers OF the remon-
| STRANGE are foremost citizens, who are
alive to every interest that tends to pro-
mote the progress OF the town, but who
| are decidedly against the latest arbitrary
exercise Of power.
Should the hearing be given some OF
the members who were so active I'm push
ing the matter through without the
called to account. The lon can
| not but act squarely with the petitioners.
The agitation cannot be thrown aside on
the ground that 1t is a political move.
As a matter OF fact many Of the signers
are epublicans, which makes 1t some-
| what unpleasant for the administration.
The manner In which the Council acted
In regard TO this matter has aroused a
- a,nA
classes OF citizens irrespective of party
Affiliations. And II will be ventilated
when the proper time arrives.
The fact that no previous notice had
been given by the Council OF the intended
action has caused considerable talk even
| among the friends of the administration.
II cannot DO trut thfully said that the MEM
bers of the Council were unaware OF the
important legislation to be passed upon
/ as II 10 limited that the leaders were In
conference with the officials OF the rail
road company several days previous to the
| meeting and at that time plans were per-
| fected to railroad the resolutions through
at the special meeting, called ostensibly
to canvass the voting lists, something
which the Council found IT was no,
| necessary to do.
ell can revoke this franchise, now that il
has passed, for IL is the nature OF con
/ tract. Then there are many who believe
that the Council has as much right to
| rescind this vote as any other that has
been passed, but not gone into effect.
II Is understood that the election of a
permanent Judge OF the Probate Court,
which office has been filed by Charles f.

Esq, appears To have the pole in the race
for the position and will undoubtedly be
elected to the Office.
