I.l Turnout Matter Sat sfactorily Settled.
G.nsral Mention.

A special meeting of the town council
was held Saturaay afternoon to consider
tho proposition of the Union Railroad
company in regard to changing the North
street turnout ON Bullock's Point
avenue TO some othrer locality. Manager
Potter was present and it was expected
that President Aldrich would also be
present. but he was unavoidably de-
tained. Mr. Potter said tnat when he re-
ceived the order TO remove the turn outs
he at once removed the Fuller turn out,
but he had not yet seen his way clear to
remove the one on Bullocks Point
avenue. 1t was actually necessary to have
q turnout somewhere in that locality, in
order to transact the business TO the best
interest of both pa ssengers and company.
III the turnout was removsd altogether.
the passengers would have 10 change cars
and that would be very unpleasant as
we'll as cause "a long delay.
1t was suggested that a long spur track
be laid on knowltoD str ct, at the car
house and the down cars be run on this
and the up cars be allowed TO pass, but
Mr. Potter made it plain 90 the council
that that plan would not work a. IL
would cause great dolay that would he

the Sherman property epd opposite the
car mouse, and said it would not. and II
that would be satisfactory tn the town no
would move it TO that location, and
would begin work on 1t Monday morning.
II was decided To- have the turnout re-
moved 20 that looelity, and the previous
vote making the time limit imperative
was n scinded.
The council voted to call the attention
of the Union Railroad Company TO the
reckless speed in which the cars are run
down both Taunton and Warren avenues,
especially in the night time on Warren
avenue, and request them TO exercise
greater care in that respect. The meet
ing then adjourned.
