The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-02-06
UP THE VALLEY.
The Valley Falls Firewards
Held Regular Meeting.
Special Meeting Of Taxpayers to
Be Called For the 10th Inst.
flrewards and Advisory Committee Do Net
Agree on Fire Servlce-LocaI Notes.

The regular monthly meeting of the VAL
evening, and considerable business of i'm
portance was transacted.
:. The Advisory Committee later met the
Board and on their request 1t was voted to
call special meeting Of the taxpayers for
the 10th instant at p. m, that the COM
mittee may make report as to the better
rnent of the fire service.
The Board voted to meet on Saturday
evening, the 18th instant, to canvass the
voting lists.
There was some discussion Of the ques-
tions involved in the remodelling Of the
fire service,
ltwould appear that the advisory COM
mittee Is in favor of establishing paid
service, while the majority Of the Fire
wards arc in favor OF arranging with Cen
tral Falls to get fire protection.
The trip made by the advisory commit
tee to Providence has occasioned consid-
erable criticism, inasmuch as the various
arrangements for fire service in that city
would be entirely out of place in this
town.
Many Of the citizens believe that the
committee would have shown better iudg-
ment in inspecting the the systems located
in Central Falls and Pawtucket, for in both
places perfection in fire service is about
reached.
