each year was judiciously expended we
would be better of as we are.
Recalls North Providence.
Byxon Il. Carpenter-I owned property
In North Providence before that part
OF Providence. The property would not
sell for any more today than it would be-
fore 1t was within the city limits, al
though we have much large taxes to pay
on 1t. Am not particularly interested,
but don't see anything to DO gained by
annexation.
Let Well Enough Alone.
George r. Aldrich--I think 1t is we'll
enough to let well enough alone. Don't
believe we would get sewer in five years
II we went into the city II that Is what
they are after.
What is the Use.
jeremiah Angell--Give us a fire district.
What is the use Of being annexed to the
city II we will have to pay more taxes and
may not get much more in the way OF i'm
provements, than We have now, for the
next i've yearss
Sewer, or Annex.
Henry ID. Hart Il want sewer. II we

which will certainly bring sewer for
Plainfield street at once.
