ber of the Council nor any other citizen
wished the old building moved back.

Table Till Next Meeting.
WORK OF THE COMMON COUNCIL

The Common Council was in session
last evening little short of one hour. A
message was received from tho Mayor,
expressing disapproval of an ordinance
giving the Narragansett Electric Light
ing Company permission to string wires
and erect poles in certain streets. A
couple uf resolutions that mad been laid
on the table in the warm days of the
summer were, by unanimous vote, taken
| from the table, and the Council laid over
till the next meeting q resolution provid-
in for the building of a sewer in Zone
street. One Of the measures that came
from the.p Board of Aldermen and pro-
vided for committee to have charge of
the opening of the new Casino at Roger
Williams Park was indefinitely postponed
find the committee on ordinances will
have chance to overhaul the ordinance
permitting the Butler Exchange Com
pany to lay pipes across Hay street be-
fore the Council concurs with the Board
in the matter. The Union Railroad was
ordered to remove its depot, formerly on
Market square, but more recently on
Washington row.
A VETO FROM THE MAYOR.
Shortly after the reading of the min
utes of last meeting Executive Secretary
Dorney appeared with the following
message from the Mayor:
CITY OF PROVIDENCE,
Executive Department..
Gentlemen of the City Council:-I here
with return without. my approval, bill
for IAN ordinance permitting the Mar
ragansett Electric Lighting company To
erect poles and wire in certain streets,
presented TO me Oct. s. 1897. My objeo-
tion TO any further extension OF the sys.
tenn of overhead wires iD this city, aud
especially of mighty charged overhead
electric wires have already been commu-
nicated TO this council In previous mes
saqes. believe that we should follow the
example of New York, Washington and
other progressive cities and compel oil
companies using wires in our streets to
placc them under ground and l cannot,
therefore, consistently give my assent TO
this bill.
EDWIN ID. McGUINNESs.
Mayor.

port OF the committee on claims, recon-
mending resolution TO pay Manuel B.
Silva tho sum Of $1,000 for personal in
juries sustained on the foot bridge at
Market square during the gale of July

also the report of the same committee rec
ommending the remission of certain
sower assessments to parties who have
decided land to the city for highway pur-
poses
This committee also recommended that
Edwin B. Stcere and Mabel Il. shepard
have leave to withdraw their claims for

same disposition Of tho claims OF George

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1897-10-26

Councilman West promptly moved that
il be laid on the table until the next
meeting, saying he made the motion at
the request of number of persons intel
ested. Councilman Molloy seconded the
motion.
Councilman Blakeleyexp pressed the hope
that there would be no delay in the mat
ter of building this sewer. He said
prorerty owners on the street had already
had two hearings before the COMMITTEES at
considerable expense 60 the city. The
sewer was needed in the interest or the
public health and the Commissioners OF
public works desired to begin work on 1t
at once.
Councilman West said he had no objec-
tion to the sewer and desired no more
public hearings but that the delegation
from the ward wished the postponement.
The motion of Mr.. West prevailed, there
icing IA in favor 70 IL against.
10 KEEP HIGHWAY WORKERS
Councilman Whiteley. chairmaB OF the
committee on highways introduced q
resolution providing for the building OF
certain short street. He said the hitch
in regard to work mt the now Union
passe ger station would throw number
of men out OF work, and II work was
done on these streets the men might be
kept busy until work around the new
station could bo resumed.
The streets to be built are Miner, Peace,
Roger, Power and Irving avenue. Passed.
The resolution directing the commits
sioner of public works was passed with
out dissent.
