IN CENTRAL FALLS.
The People Want Cars
on High Street.
JOHN SYN0N ACTS WISELY.
Will Probably Not Take Out His Lii
cense-Newsy Notes.

The news Of the postponement OF the
sale OF the Interstate Railroad Company
was received with disappointment by
many residents Of this town who hoped to
see cars running once more on High
street. The postponement shows that
resumption OF traffic Is not a matter OF the
immediate present.
Speaking about The matter today one OF
the leading citizens OF the town said: "I
understand when the franchise was
granted IL WAS for purpose, that is that
cars should be run for the convenience of
the public. For more than a year no cars
have been operated on the High street
line and / see no reason why the Council
should not order the poles and wires re-
moved. IL Is not for the public good to
have the rails ana equipment obstruet
the streets"
There is no question that the High
street line, at least, Will soon fall into the
hands OF the Pawtucket company.
In this event the rails win be changed
to narrow gauge and with the Broad street
route belt line will be perfected. It Is
said that negotiations with this object in
view have been In progress Tor some time
snd will soon be consummated.
WIN Not Contest.
AS yet John Synon, who was granted
license Monday night by the Commits
sloners, has not taken IL out. There has
been so much opposition to the granting
OF the petition that the applicant has
made up his mind 10 retire from the busi-
| ness.
A remonstrance was presented against
the granting OF the license and most OF
the signers were citizens who owned
property within n radius OF 200 feet from
the place. The Law and Order Leagne,
through Rev. Mr.. Wilson, made a strenu-
Gus attempt TO have the application re-
fusee, but the Commissioners refused to
recognize the request Of the property
owners and granted tho petition.
The matter was to be taken TO the courts,
but Mr.. synon does not care to contest
the matter and will not take out the IL
| cense.
wan, Police Protection.
At the next meeting OF the Town Coun-
ell petition will be presented from the
taxpayers and citizens OF Manville asking
that action be taken concerning night
officer Tor that section. The petitions that
have been forwarded TO ;he Council i'm the
past haye been laid aside without any ac-
thought the recent robberies in that Sec
tion ofthe town will be the means
of having the town officers take action in
the matter and grant the request.
The population Is large enough and
there is no reason why an officer should
not be on duty there during the night.
