WHY DON'T YOU REGISTER Z

Clerk Roberts on the War Path With the
Big Book Every Evening.
Assistant City Clerk Roberts was in the
Second Ward last night to register those
who desired to perform this most import
ant duty.
Less than rs names were enrolled, which
makes the total registration up to date 675.
When the fact that there are 800 voters
who should register in the city is con-
sidered some idea of the crush on the last
few days can be gained.
1t u beyond human understanding why
those qualified to vote postpone register
ing until the eleventh hour, but such is
the case.
Tomorrow evening Clerk Roberts will be
at the Fourth Ward room, and there is no
reason why he should not secure two or
three hundred signatures.

The committee on water of the City
Council met last evening and considered
at considerable length the matter OF re-
newing the contract with the Watch
emoket Fire District.
The contract does not expire for three
years, but the fact of the matter is that
several well-known East Providence gen.
tlemen are interested in developing the
Ten Mile river privilege are anxious to
to furnish the people of the Watchemoket
district with water for domestic purposes
from that source.
There is much about the scheme which
does not now appear upon the surface, but
it is sure to crop out later on, and there is
no doubt but what the matter will assume
an interesting form in the course of time.
The committee was Of the opinion that
1t was too early to take decisive action on
the matter Of renewal, 80 the matter will
rest, for while at least.
