yesterday on a suggestion entirely new to
the members. IL was joint resolution
introduced by Alderman Watson for
the committee on health, ordering
the Mayor TO contract with the
Rhode Island Hospital for building
on the hospital grounds, but isolated from
the main structure, to be used for the
accommodation OF patients with 1ontsg-
ious diseases, the cost TO the city not TO
exceed 1880. Upon motion of Alderman
Lansing IL was laid over and made the
special order for the next meeting OF the
board, when DIR. Chaplin will he present
and explain the necessity of the proposed
enlargement OF the hospital quarters.
The Board adopted in concurrence with
the Common Council the ordinance per-
hitting the Providence Cable Tramway
Company to use the trolley system in the
operation OF its cars on the College Hill
route. There was no discussion and the
expected opposition did not materialize.
Alderman Little presented resolution
authorizing the expenditure OF $500 for
the investigation on tue part OF the city
OF the artesian well system. Aldermen
Burrows and Harris opposed IL on the
ground that it would be money thrown
away and the experiments paid
for by the city would bee for the benefit of
some private corporation. City Engineer
Shedd agreed with them in their reason
for opposing the scheme. Alderman West
said that he should vote for the appropri-
alton because he believed that
the artesian well experiments would
postpone all natural filter in
yestments for about ten years. He
also ridicued Alderman Burrows for taxi
ing this time of the year 10 suggest econ
omy. sIt doesn't look well, !" he said. "Lets
keep it up" Councilman Knight was
present aud on the invitation OF the
Board he told of the benefit TO the health
OF employees in Rhode Island factories
that had already been derived by the use
OF artesian well water. The resolution
was passed.
A Joint resolution was passed autboriz-
Ing the park commissioners to erect, at
cost not to exceed 500, pedestal in Roger
Williams Park for the statue of the Glad
iator that had been presented to the city
by Mr.. George Wilkinson.

Alderman Wataon moved that the re-
port of the city solicitor relative TO car
rage licenses be taken from the Ia bic and
referred TO the committee on hackney
carriages. He also called from the table
the resolution to strike out the word
{" mechanical In resolution 102
relative to filtration plant,
apd also the resolution requesting
the committee on education to report on
