Meeting at knightsvllIe Town Hall
Last Evening,
Addresses by Benjamin NJ. Bosworth
and Others.

The meeting held In the Town Hall at
KING ightsville, last evening, in which ad-
dresses explanatory OF the new city
chatter were made, fully repaid those who
attended. As the principal speaker OF
the evening, Hon. Benjamin Nj. Bos-
worth, gave plain, sensible and forceful
address that carried conviction with II;
The meeting was called to. order by
Phineas A. Conley. Mr.. Boswofth, solici-
Tor of the city OF Central Falls, spoke for
fully an hour, bringing out facts after
ssetS' citing the present Indebtedness sswn o,
IRON $4,000 in 1890 to $685.
600 In 1896, besides the expenditure OF
100000 per year, the income OF the town
from taxes making q grand total OF $780,
600 spent by the town OF Cranston In nve
years, the speaker asserted and dehed
contradictions, that New York city, under
Tammany rule, did not cost New YORK as
much per capita as 1t does in Cranston.
Hollis NJ. Coombs delig hted his hearers
with plain statement of the towns DO
ipgs for the past decade. Mr.. Coombs Is
always entertaining and his remarks last
evening were full OF witticsms.
The side show entertainment was
furnished by Captain Pierce OF Arlington
Heights, who essayed 10 answer the argu-
ments advanced by the first two speakers,
but his remarks were such nature, ana
and his comparisons OF ring rule, which
seemed to be his hobby, were 30 far away
in one instance going clear to the
South Sea Islands, that it was Impossible
for his auditors TO follow him, and neces-
STATED an appeal from the speaker TO the
audience toIplease see the point. James
e.. Conroy OF Cranston spoke In Ia
vor of the charter and appealed
TO the voters as business
man that they go forward in this mat
ter aud not lag behind with system
that was cum bersome and costly. A vote
OF thanks was rendered the various
speakers and the meeting was adjourned.
The fact that the attendance at the
meeting was light indicates that the foil.
in the Knigbtsville district don't need
much argument to convince them In
favor OF voting for the city proposition
They are all ready 10 vote now.
Hon. Il. G. Peirce explained the PROPOSE"
tion TO the residents in the Fiskeville sec
tion, speaking in the district hall.
