BIC ENTERPRISE.


One OF the most desirable features OF
the alterations at the cove is that they
will give direct access to Smiths Hill
without grade crossings. The railroad
folks will get about ten acres of
the improved land between the Moshas-
suck river and the new short street on
city yard, will be given up to the passen-
ger station.
Increased facilities for passenger traffic
are also looked for. The city folks fixed
upon q site for q yard long before
these exchanges OF property were con-
summated with the railroad, and have
been transferring their plant to the wharf
south OF Henderson street, below Hills
wharf, during the past few weeks.
The new city stable, corner of Hender-
son and Eddy streets, has been in process
of erection for . month. BY the
negotiations between the city and rail-
road company, the old depot, when
abandoned, becomes the
Property OF the City.
The entire cost of these changes can
hardly be estimated at the present time
without much entering into detail,
but, aside from the flling-in, Francis
street bridge cost about $4,000, Promen-
ade street bridge 900 and an immense
item for grading must be considered.
City Engineer Shedd states, in relation
to the foul odor and discoloration of the
water, which made these changes de-
sirable, that the sewage question
in no way entered into the
matter, Notwithstanding the carping
critics who claim IL can be
prevented. The mills are wholly
responsible. The coloring matter which
comes from print works and sheep wash
ing establishments contains an
acid which permeates the grease
arising from sewage, decomposing it and
creating sulphursted hydrogen gas. The
gas rises continually to the surface and
throws out the odor.
During the great strike samples of
water were taken from the Woopasqua-
tucket while the mills were idle and the
eter was runninP out, end was found TO
b as pure as the water below East
