The session OF Excelsior Lodge on Fri
day evening was made interesting by q
good attendance, and the discussion OF
questions affecting the future interest OF
the order and the lodge.
After the whist prelude in the after
noon, the mem bers crowded around bro
ther Chase's desk, eager TO pay up their
dues and assessments, and even the delin-
quents were on hand promptly.
After the business routine, the good
OF the ORDER was reached, and good
natured discussion ensued. A call for an
open public meeting in some hall. with
an entertainment and few brief address
es to inform the people, and "show our
goods and also to keep up our social
gatherings, was considered the best way
to increase business, without antagonizing
other orders, as there 10 room for all, as

Monday Morning.
One OF the most important meetings OF
the Town Council will be held Monday
morning in Town Hall, Knightsville.
The business Of most importance Is TO
give O hearing to those interested in the
proposed widening, Strengthening and i'm
proving OF Cranston street from the city
line TO Haven avenue. IL will be remem-
bered that Council, at their last regular
meeting refused to accept the report OF the
old commission, thus nuilifying all work
done up TO that time, except the establish
ment OF lines. Although there will be
some opposition to the work, II Is said
that the Council will appoint new com
mission the members OF which have al
ready been picked. Tout Ii II also stated
authoritatively that new precedent will
be established for the proportion OF the
towns share of damages In the case OF
laying out streets. In the layout OF streets
in the town heretofore the town has paid
one-fourth OF the damages. 1t Is almost
certain that in the case OF Cranston street
the Council will vote that the town pay
one-half the damages. As at present
talked OF the only change that may be
made in the assessment area Is TO assess
none west of Haven avenue.
The objectors are confined to no certain
locality; but are found at intervals all
over the area to be assessed.

delegation from Arlington, and another
strong faction that 10 preparing its bat
teries, will form the bulk OF the opposi-
ton. This meeting will be the opening
battle OF lively campaign.
ALIENS AVENUE.
On the 21st OF Septem Der, Council voted
to put Aliens avenue through from the
city line to a point between Edgewood
De xvtp or and than w IN a right N n
gled turn run across Mr.. Taft's land in
to Broad street. This change OF direc-
tion and change IN width from an S0-foot
avenue TO 65-foot avenue, necessitates
the appointment OF new commission. Ii
is expected that this commission will al
SO be appointed Monday.
No opposition Will be made to this ave.
nue., unless the Edgewoodites ask that
they be dealt with as the other side OF
the town is to be dealt with, viz: the
town TO stand one-half their damages in
stead OF one-fourth.
CHANGE OF GRADE.
At one OF the recent meetings Of Council
IL was voted to change the grade Of Gran.
ston street from School street to point
opposite Mr.. George Fields home.
About the center of this section of the
street Is Burnham avenue. IL Is proposed
to make Crsnston street slope In both di-
rections toward Burnkam avenue, and to
run the surface water off via Burnham av.
emu to Spectacle pond. In order that
this plan may be carried out, Burnham
avenue must be accepted as town street,
and then the grade must be voted
changed. This latter change of grade
will, it is expected, be made Monday. The
change OF grade on Burnham avenue il
also the beginning Of a lively campaign oi
objection.
The work OF grading laurel Hill ave
