AFTER HIM.
Dunwell's Gangway Probably Named
After Bl0ckmaker.
Some Facts 'Aboui Street Grabbing De-
veloped During Investigation.

There hss been q good deal OF street
grabbing in this city since II was first
laid out. IL you don't believe this state
ment, walk down South Water street
some day while 1t IN yet good walking
and keep your eyes to the right, All the
streets running into that thoroug hfsre
were originally laid out to the hnrbor
line but they have been laid out lin q
different way owing to the neglect or IN
of ones in years past. Before the city
had Pawtuxet water the river 'front.' had
to be kept open so that fire engines could
nave ready access to toe water, but since
the river became OF no importance In fire
consideration land grabbing seems TO
have been almost q psstime with some
abutting owners. Recently, however,
Superintendent of Street Signs and Num-
bers Captain Pe.tis put his eagle eye on
some places and rescued them from pri-
vate enterprise.
"This is private property" 10 more or
less familiar corner sign on several lanes
in Providence. One fine day Soap"
PettIs was looking at corners-its . habit
he has acquired, and he saw "private"
sign on an alley In the hesrt OF the city.
Being OF an inquiring turn Of mind he
SCENT an hour record searching and
found out that the gsngway back Of tho
Merchants bank pnilding running from
Westminster to Dyer street was accepted
as q pu bile highway by the town council
In 1724, but II was never named. This
was found out In 1891, and II wasn't
long before Captain Pettis replaced the
private property sign with board bear
ing the legend "Dysr's Gsngway. This
name was approved by the board Of elder
men.
Try street, running from North Main
to Canal streets also had . private prop
erty sign but the vjgilant city hall off,
cisl found out that Try street bad been
accepted by the town council OF these
plantations In 1714 and he rut up tho
proper sign and removed the usurper.
these are but samples Of the property re-
claimed FOR the city. There are . num-
Der of other instances.
These facts were brought to mind DUR
ing g search for the origin Of, the namc
"Dunwell's Gangway." There was Q
pubic hearing Yesterday afternoon before
the committee on street signs and num-
bers relative TO the changing Of Dun
wells Gangway to Wall street. No one
seemed to know why the alley had Deen
given this particular name, but the idea
prevailed that II Bill Z.-no, Roger Will
liams were alive. he could tell.
THE News delights to furnish informa-
tion and-uews and with the assistance of
Captain Pettis IL founo out that the first
Providence directory published in 1924
stated that John Dupwsll, q member of
the firm OF Dunwell Il Fuller, block
makers at 1853 South Main street, Iiveo
at 81 Weybosset street on tho corner of
the alley. Tho lane was probably named
In honor Of this first settler. The only
other person OF tho name In the town
was Mrs. Annie DunwsIl, who lived on
Christian Hill.
