There were two important improve
ments voted for by the taxpayers at the
last June town appropriation meeting,
which bid fair to see daylight and which
will be received with much good feeling
when the work begins. II Is stated upon
good authority that the work on both
will be begun as soon as the weather
will permit. IL will be re-
mem bered that at the meeting
above referred to the sum OF $4,000 was
appropriated to pave Broad street, one of
the most prominent thoroughiares OF the
town, witt granite blocks, and the dis
tance as decided upon was from the Paw.
tucket line TO the Valley Falls bridge, and
which will when completed make an ex-
cellent roadbed from the Cumberland
town line into Main street square, Paw
tucket. Highway Surveyor Fairbanks
claims thst this job will be the
first OF any size To open the Spring work.
Efforts will also be made TO have neccess.
ary repairs In any other lire be done at
that time, which will make one complete
job OF 1t. The horse railroad company has
agreed 10 make all improvements required
upon its line at that time. Several agents
representing granite quarries exhibited
samples and furnished estimates, and at

to be promptly on hand when desired.
The other improvement which is earn
estly looked for is the Dexter street sewer.
Business in the above department, on ac-
count OF the weather, is at a standstiil to
all appearances, but such Is not the case,
as at the engineers office the plans are
being made perfect to begin work with
everything in readiness, as soon as the
weather permits. It is said by the sewer
commissioner that Dexter street is the
next job on the list. 1t has been for
tunate Winter for the residents on that
street In comparison with that of last
season, as but few times has the street
been turned into a river. Both improve
ments will also give a large number of
laborers work. The recommendations of
expert Engineer Gray will probably be
adopted, which will afford much better
opportunities to the city OF Pawtucket to
make connections.

The heads OF some of the families at
Manville, also physicians attending those

into trouble by not notifying Health Of

Schools Draper will close the public
schools until the epidemic is abated.
