Next Monday IL the day appointed by
Council to hear arguments for and against
| the Strengthening, widening and extend
about a month ago those in favor of the
| improvement surprised all by the
strength and amount of their arguments.
| These persons, II Is said, are adding daily
| TO their stock of information, proving
the needs OF the proposed work.
Messrs. Edward y. Taft and George r.
Babbitt are leaders In favor OF the i'm
provement. These gentlemen win show
In the next meeting, that more than 80
per cent. OF the money value, assessment
Tor the improvement, belongs TO advo-
Gates OF the project. There Is no party
directly opposed TO the improvement; but
the Pawtuxetites do not want the street
to extend across Pawtuxet Neck. These
persons are perfectly willing, they say, to
be assessed for the Improvement, provid-
ing the street Is not cut through Pawtua-
ct Ia short Edgewood wants the street
and Pawtuxet does not want 1t. To sat-
isfy the wishes of both places, several
men have proposed plan that will not
only serve a. A compromise between the
two sections, but will be far the superior
OF the proposed plan In pecuniary way.
The plan as proposed II 10 cut through,
straighten and widen Aliens avenue
through Edgewood TO point between
an obtuss angled turn, run into Broad
street.
The advocates OF this scheme say that by
following this suggestion, the long and
expensive stretch of sea wall will not be
necessary; the part OF the shore that will
otherwise require so much filling in will
be avoided, and the people, who are now
for the Improvement, and those who are
against the Improvement, will all be sat
ished.
To follow out the latter plan, it will be
necessary to have a new commission APP
pointed. Before this may be- done, how
ever, Council must vote not TO make the
improvement or allow the 100 days in
which they have TO elect to do the work,
expire. Some members of the Council feel
that the great quantity OF filling in that
VIII be necessary, and the long stretch
OF see wall that will OF necessity be built
IL the D csent plan is adopted, will all be
too expensive job for the benefits TO be
derived therefrom. Others of the Council
men, wisely say that IL the great number
of the people interested want the inn
provement with the present plan, they
must, TO be consistent and loyal, vote for
IL.
The last meeting in which this question
was discussed was warm, but it is thought
that some other degree OF the adjective
Will be necessary to describe the coming
meeting.
A SNAKE is MONARCH.
This afternoon Mrs. William Reed of
West Arlington, while picking flowers in
her garden, was almost paralyzed with
fear by having snake poke its head up
through the flowers, and stare her in the
face. The frightened woman ran into the
house, and from the window watched the
bold reptile promenade in the garden.
Mrs. Reed remained prisoner until her
husband and her brother, Mr.. Martin
Powers, came home from work. After
hearing the stcry the two men started the
search for the intruder. Upon lifting an
old door In the garden the enemy was
found in battle array, and had il not been
for the timely dropping of the heavy
door Mr.. Reed would perhaps have been
bitten.
The reptile was about lofeet in length. |
The neighbors and the Reed family fear
that there are more of these despised |
creatures in the vicinity.
