70 the Editor Of the Messenger:

TO the Editor Of the Messenger:
The qualified voters Of this corpora
ton will have an opportunity, Mt the
municipal election to be held on April
I'd next to express choice for the five
cOuncilmen they desire should admins
Ger the affairs of the town fcF the cur
rent year.
Upon the choice Of the majority OF vO-
ters will rest, in great measure. the
continued advancement and peaceful
ness within the borders OF the munich
pality.
The writer has an abiding faith that
that majority will exercise their right
OF suffrage in the direction OF affOrding
the best means. by the selection OF wOr-
Thy men, to keep the town in the front
rank as one of the most peaceful and
prosperous in the State.
The best way to bring about that re-
suit is by inviting the present council
to remain in office.
Let us take a glance backward and
see If they are deserving Of the support
Of the people, and whether, judged by
their labOrs, il would not be conducive
to the best interests of the town that
they should serve another year.
without going very far backward, 1t
may be recalled in what chaotic state
affairs were in here. 1t 10 no exaggera-
ton to say that at that time the buying
public from the country had no great
desire to come to the town, for reasons
that We all know; and the merchants
will admit that trade was In a depl0ra-
BILE condition.
When the present council was called
10 take charge, it first step was to Gre
ate an effective police. And the result
is that this town was never better pO-
Iced.
Then they turned their attention to
public improvements. The streets have
been put in fine condition; plank cross.
ings have been laid at the principal
street intersections; bitches have been
dug. cut and repaired; two fine culverts
have been made. giving fine and effec-
tive system of drainage, and the street
lighting has not been neglected.
Besides this the town owns a road ma
chine that cost $500; lot Of tiles to be
used for culverts-abOut $500 WORTH
and best Of all, about $500 or $1,000 in
the treasury.
without wishing to draw iDvidiOus
comparisons. what other ADMINISTRATION
can show As many improvements to its
credit?
Therefore. the question naturally ari-
ses, ii the present administration, 10
the space Of two years have done SO
much. would it not be the part of wis
dom for the majority Of voters to give
the present administration a longer
lease Of life. for IL by their fruits they
are to be Judged. they will continue to
make public Improvements that must,
like those Of the past. rebound to the
benefit Of the town.
1t is an old saying that when you have
good thing hold on to it. We don't
believe it will be seriously questioned
that in the present council we have a
good thing. At least the writer so be-
lieves, and will vote accordingly.

Through the Door-Attempt to Force
an Entrance.

James McGuire, who lives at Vaughan
street, was awakened at 80 O'clock this
morning by continual pounding
on his door. lie responded TO the
summons and found that two men
were outside. When questioned
one of the men said that they had mis-
taken the house and started away. Nc
Guire went back TO bed.
Ten minutes later he was reused from his
sleep by furious pounding on theldoor and
he found that the same men were outside.
He asked what they wanted and one OF
the pair demanded admission.
Mcclure refused 10 let them
in and he was ordered To give up $40 or
they would "Iay him out" Mcclure re-
fused this and ordered them TO go away
whereupon both men produced re-
volvers and began firing through the
door. Mcclure at once went to his
room and got two revolvers and
coming back began a rattling fus-
ilade from the inside. Several
shots were exchanged and then there was
a sudden howl of pain and Mcclure
ceased firing. A moment later he
heard the men retreating and then he
cautiously opened the door. The men
heard the door as il opened and last shot
was fired at the man in the doorway, which
took effect in dangerous proximity TO his
head.
Mcclure found a short "iimmy" on the
steps with which one of the men had been
trying To force open the door. He re-
ported to the police.

architectural problemsg DO railroad
companies which are managed to make
money for their ockholders. and which, like
cities are obliged TO Keep and MAINTAIN a

TIE CITy's POOR.
Work on Highways viii Be Fur
nished Them.
Land Transferred to City-Plan OF
citizens 10 Relieve the Many I'm
employed.

The Pinckney Farm Land Company and
the Earl p. Mason Land Company have
signed deeds transferring certain land on
Smith Hill TO the city. The Common
Council will meet tonight and in all
probability will pass resolu-
ton to condemn the land for
highway purposes. The Board OF Alder
men will meet Thurdny and act on the
resolution. Then the Commissioners OF
Public Works can go ahead.
The land belonging TO the two COM
panies Is within the junction OF Valley
and Orms streets, and Is In four parcels.
Three hundred men will find employ
ment at 81 per day for 10 weeks in laying
out and grading the streets.
Hon. Rathbone Gardner, who Is treas
urer of the Pinckney Land Company and
also member OF the committee of citi-
zens appointed by Mayor 0lney TO devise
some plan for the relief of the poor, said TO
a News reporter this morning that Com
missioner Smith would hire men for work
upon the recommendation OF the commit
tees subcommittee on work for men.
Mr.. Gardner outlined the plan of the com
mittee which is as follows:
Tomorrow the COMMITTEES will open
headquarters in the Rhode Island Hospital
Trust Company's old rooms South Main
street and received applications for work.
Each applicant will be obliged to
state the number iof persons de-
pending.upon him for support, his trade,
when and where he last worked and other
particulars. Application blanks will oe
filled out and given to Investigators, who
themselves will be men out of work. A
thorough investigation will be made
into the case of each applicant.
The commissioner will put the deserv-
ing men TO work on the Smiths Hill Job,
or on any OF the work which the city may
have to do.
Men who are single and have no one
depending upon them will be
employed only three days, and will
have to make applications again
before finding more work. Men having
large families will be given work for an
indefinite length OF time.
The important part Of the committees
work will be to find employment
outside of that offered by
the city. An endeavor will
be made to get private owners to do work
similar to that which the city is about to
undertake.
