annexed from the town OF North Provi-
dence got any improvements. How long
before Johnston would, no one can tell
for certainty.
Emil Meyers=Remain are we are II we
know when we are well of.
No Sense I'm Annexation.
John A. Mills-It will be the foolishest
thing the town ever did to annex or
divide. The people will regret the day
they ever do it.
More and more money is laid out in the
country districts each year; there Is no
just reason for those living In the country
to complain with the present arrange
ment.
Believes I'm Paying for His Own.
Eugene l.. Clarke--I favor a fire dis
trict. Don't think the farmer should be
called upon to pay for our improvements
in this part OF the town. The farmers
controlled our last financial town meet
ing. Let us pay for our own, and then
we can have what we want.
Possibly Annexation.
William A. woodmansee-If we will be
obliged to pay s1.35 town tax, 20
cent school tax, which would make SLIGO
on q hundred, TO keep square as we are
now, then an additional tax to pay for an
$4,000 sewer tax and an $4,000 fire DEPART
ment, perhaps 1t might be as well to pay
the same amount in the city.
Re-value, First.
George Knapp Have re-valuation and
then annex.
Every Time.
Frank Canning.--Annex every time.
No Fire District in His.
John j. Harrington.---Ih have investigated
the fire district thoroughly and am
SATISFIED that we want nothing in that
line. East Providence is disgusted with
her fire district. Either remain just as
we are or annex. 4
He's All Ready.
Byron A. Winsor-I have been ready to
annex for some time.
Only Give Him a Chance!
Abel Reynolds-I shall vote to annex to
the city II ever get chance.
Annex!
james B. Randall--Annex. Nothing
This One, Too.
Nathan B. Harris--I am in for annexa-
tion.
As To Sewers.
John Sawyer-If 1t is possible to obtain
a connection with the city syste m of sew
ers then we will be better situated 40 we
are. II this cannot be done then nnnexa-
tion might be considered. would sug-
gest the enlarging OF the committee of
nine to % and Ict them investigate tho
affairs OF the town entire and arrange to
remedy any toubles or grievances that
may exist; they would prove power for
good and much benfit would arise from
their work.
Annexation, Perhaps.
Horace Il. Martin-Am not fully de-
cided what is for the best, but think it
would be annexation.
Annexation Sure.
Dennis Hayden-Annexation should
vote for.
In Doubt About 1t.
Walter Bass--Nichols Plat never did get
anything; don't believe 1t would be any
better off judging from the way North
Providence faired il we went into the
city.
Looks Desirable.
Robert X. Atwood--,Annexation would
not cost us any moro il we could have
re-valuation. Don't think we can get a
sewer unless we do annex.
Favors the City Idea.
Thomas Mills--I favor the city as far as
have considered the question.
A Good Idea, Too.
Nicholas Marks-I favor an improve
ment district and pay tho same rate of
taxes as though we We're part OF the
city. We would then get the improve
ments as soon as we paid for them in
stead OF waiting until the other 10 wards
OF the city got all they wanted without
giving us thought.
As proof that the newly annexed tcrri-
tory would wait long time before receiv-
ing recognition the residents of the
Tenth Ward can testify that they waited
10 years before receiving any Improve
ments. With an improvement dis
trict, providing We can connect with
the city sewerage system, we can
begin TO receive the benefits at once of a
larger tax rate which of course improve
ments will necessitate and In few years
we will have affairs as we want th,m os-
pecinlly II the district is run on a more
economical basi, than the town has been
of late years, which think 1t can be.
Bob, Line and Sinker.
Lafayette Eaton.-Let us go into the
city "hob line and sinker."
