convene at the City Hall. Just what will
be done at their meeting IL not wholly
known. 1t Is said that the committee on
police have been investigating the needs
OF the police department In the matter OF
improvements and increased facilities at
the Cross street station and II may be
tnat they will have some recommenda-
tions to make. Let us hope 30.
There Is room for considerable improve.
ment i'm this line and as the needed I'M
provements, In some cases are nothing
short OF an imperative necessity the sooner
they are made the better. Perhaps,
though 1t Is hardly expected, word will
be received that the tax assessors have
organized and are about ready for busi-
ness. This would indeed be welcome
news.
There may be something reported from
that committee appointed to confer with
a similar committee from The town OF
Lincoln to adjust matters OF difference
between the town and city. This COM
mittee could make very interesting re-
port should Trey choose to do so.
There has been some criticism OF the
action Of this committee In excluding the
representatives OF the press from Its re-
cent meeting. They were called together
to transact business for the municipality
and the people Of the city had right to
learn of their proceedings through the
newspapers.
The committee on claims will in all
probability report on the claim of j. A.
Blount for 81 ,00) damages caused by the
pair Of horses attached to hts fruit wagon
running away through fright from

No. IS, l. o. o. F., was held In the Brennan
Block on Central street last night. Ar

Odd Fellows Memorial Day by attending

Annual Ball.
The Central Falls Liquor Dealers Asso.
ciation held their annual ball In Cercle
Jacques Cartier hall last night. 1t was
grand affair. Everything had been ar.
ranged on an elaborate scale and ran along
smoothly with nothing OF any sort to
mar the pleasure Of the evening. The
attendance was large beyond che most
sanguine expectations.
music foated gently on the air until the
1--WE sma' hours'' OF this morning, while
happy young men danced gaily about the
hall with fair women. The affair was q
great success and will be remembered
with pleasure by eli those who were
fortunate to be present.
The Debt.
There Is considerable discussion about
the city about the basis on which the
town Of Lincoln wished to affect q settle
ment OF the debt OF the old town. 1t has
been figured out by Central Falls men
that 1t would be about right for the city
to assume $288, 900 of the debt, which
would 'eave $135, 900 as the Indebtedness
of the .own. This the Central Falls peo-
pie think would be proper figure.
The Lincoln people want Central Falls
to assume ell but about $40 900 ofthe debt.
The conference committees appointed ac-
knowledge that they cannot agree aud the
matter will probably be eventually de-
cided by the Supreme Court.
A Reunion.
Last evening was q very pleasant one
for the young mems Bible class Of the
Broad Street Baptist Church. A large
number OF the members OF the class as
sembled in the church parlors and en-.
joyed the reunion and social of the class.
Failing OFF Again.
Business is falling of again in the Dis
trict Court. At one time during the week
when there were four cases before the
court there seemed to be boom. BVt
there were no cases yesterday and none
today.
License Granted.
The License Commissioners have de-
cided to grant one Of the licenses to
which there was such decided opposition.
Flynn's license has been granted, but
Reagan has been refused because there
were to many abutting land owners who
objected.
Went Fishing.
City Sergeant John II. Barber and q
number Of others went to Newport on a
fishing trip yesterday. They got a large
catch OF tautog.
