The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-03-04
IN CENTRAL
FALLS CITY.
Regular Meeting Of Common
Council heldat City Hall
Last Evening.
The Resolution Concerning the
Valley Falls Scheme Was
Referred Back.
LIVELY DISCUSSION WAS HELD.
City Engineer Keene's Department Came In
For Considerable Criticism Nearly $1,000
Spent in a Very Short Time.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Common Council was held last evening
and proved to be one of the most interest
lug sessions held in long time. Several
important matters were considered, and In
some cases the members of the Council
showed a disposition to look rigidedly
into the current affairs of the Council.
Evidently some of the Council are
satisfied that things are not as they should
be. The City Engineers department came
i'm for sharp repremand, as from the
criticisms expressed by some OF the mem
bers of the Council there Is need OF an ex-
PLANTATION from the head OF that depart
ment.
Councilman Cowperthwaite called atten-
tion to the fact that nearly third of the
appropriation for the current year was ex-
pended the first two months Of the year,
at time, too, when there is not much do
ing in that department. The impression
prevailed at the end of the last fiscal year
that the various balances looked rather
suspicious. Any one can produce balance
il all of the yearly bills are not paid. A
committee ought to have been appointed
To find out how much, IL any, OF this
amount was expended on the last fiscal
years account. Mayor Gottschalk laid
particular stress upon this point in his in
augural address.
The Fire Del artment.
The resolution from the Committee on
Fire Department met with considerable OPP
position from some of the members. The
question which arose in the minds OF some
of the members was whittier or not the
fire wardens of Valley Falls had the right
to make any advances towards settle
members doubted the ability of the de-
partment to cope with the situation il fire
broke out In both places at the same time.
On the other hand, the Committee on Fire
Department stated that the department
was fully able to do this with slight in
crease of apparatus-namely, new two
horse hose cart which would carry 1000
feet OF hose. The question was argued at
some length, and was finally referred back
to the committee for further investigation.
The keynote of the whole situation was
struck when Councilman Dexter said that
it was only an entering wedge, and that
the members of the department would be
asking for more pay. The Committee on
Parks came in for their share of investiga-
tion. At the time the building Of the tool
house was talked of, President Fish told
the members to go slow. From present
indications the house was built on wind,
and the money was taken from this years
appropriation instead of being taken from
last wear.

PETITIONERS HEARD.

Committee on Police and Licences Grant =
Hearing on Pool Table Question.
Aldermen Darling and Thayer Of the
Committee on Police and Licences gave q
hearing at the City Hall last evening to the
petitioners for reduction of the icencs
fee charged for billiard and pool tables.
After the reading OF the petition by Al
derman Thayer, John w. Meiklejohn and
Robert Kendall were heard at some length.
The argument advanced was that the fee
was unreasonably high, and in fact higher
than any other city In the country.
After q lengthy argument by the MEM
bers Of the committee the mattee was held
for confederation.
The committee will report at the regular
meeting of the Board of Aldermen next
Wednesday evening.

COLUMBIAN WON EASILY.
St. Johns College B0ters Couldn't
Hit Cummings.

The Columbian varsity baseball nine
again demonstrated lis strength yesterday
by defeating the strong team from st.
Johns College, Annapolis, to the tune OF
16 to 4
At no stage of the contest was the re-
suit in doubt, for the local boys started IN
with d run in the first inning, and batted
out runs with a regularity, which held
good through.
The pitching Of Cummings for Columbian
was the particular feature of the game
The visitors were able TO connect with his
swift delivery only seven times; two of
the hits being OF scratch order. The gen
eral work of the local team was clean and
fast, being in decided contrast TO that of
the Marylanders, who played rather list
less game
Columbian scored one In the first as
result OF Beall's base on balls and Proc
tor rattling two -bagger. Two more were
added in the second by Bean's long hit to
left for three bags, bringing in Green and
Leach, who had gained their bases by gift.
The visitors scored their first run in the
third inning. Brady gained his base by
the catcher muffing his third strike, stole
second, and on Hotchkiss' clean hit came
. In the latter half of this inning Hillery,
for the visitors, made sensational catch
of Proctor's apparently safe hit. st.
Johns was BANKED in the first half Of the
fourth, W hile Columbian increased her
lead by three runs.
Three more runs were registered In the
fifth inning and st. Johns was again
blan ked. The visitors increased their
score by one run in the sixth as result
Of Hillery being hit by a pitched ball,
stealing second and coming home on q
wild pitch.
Columbian made one in this inning, while
in the next four men crossed the plate
before the side WAS retired.
The visitors ended their run getting in
the eighth by making two talies. Hotch-
kiss corking hit to deep left went past
Proctor, and the runner took third. He
scored a moment later on Hillery's neat
hit along the right foul line Hillcry also
tailed after a steal to second ami Kill
patrick's hit
Columbian also added two in this in
ming, which were the last of the game.

CANNOT STAND THE EXPENSE.
The L. A. w. Unable to SeEd a
Team TO Europe.

New York, April 0.-The statement of
President Potter and Chairman Mott, of
the racing board of the L. A. w, that the
organization will be unable to stand the
expense of sen ding a team Of American
riders abroad this year, is discouraging
to racing men, Prominent amateur and
professional riders have been hopeful that
the league would, in some manner, see its
way clear to appropriate money TO send
over small team to compete In the worlds
championship in Scotland and ireland
next July.
Tie recommendation Of Chairman Mott
that the manufacturers should aid the move
ment is approved of by some of the big
firms, and generous donations will be made
If the L. A. w. will ask for money. 1t is
calculated that the cost of sending team
abroad would average from $4,000 to ST.
500 at the most.
