Board OF Aldermen.
Alderman McCart ny had something TO
say about streets, especially Goddard
yesterday. He asked Commissioner
Smith, through Mayor olney, what the
prospect Is OF getting the street laid out
before winter, providing the committee
would recommend and the City Council
vote favorably upon 1t. Commissioner
smith frankly admitted that the outlook
appropriated for new streets and it would
naturally take considerable time 10 carry
out the regular program as regards giving
notice, etc. Alderman Darcy corrobo-
rated Mr.. Mccarthy as TO the needs OF
Goddard street and felt that s175, 900 ap-
propriated TO the committee is entirely
inadequate to properly care for the streets
Of Providence. Alderman Harris ex-
planned that he knew OF no reason why
GODDARD street shouldn't have been at
tended TO, as IL was reported 10 Mr.. Dur
lee with the rest. He also explained the
difficulty in getting lawyers TO attend TO
the legal end OF these street matters. The
outcome ~ the whole matter is that the
school children will have TO walk through
mud and slush all winter.
