The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-04-08
Vote For Governor in This City.
THE COMMON COUNCIL.
Notwithstanding the ElectiOn Excitement
the Regular Meeting Was Held.


whereby the city of Central Falls was to
furnish the Town of Cumberland with fire
protection for a fixed sum annually was
given its final quietus.
The fire alarm box at the Crefeld Mills
was another bone of contention, and the
discussion brought forth many sharp
words. Mr.. Dexter was of the opinion
that as long as those people took consider
able pains to have their works placed out
side of the city limits this city was not In
duty bound to furnish them with fire pro-
lection. The argument was advanced that
q number of good paying taxpayers were
employed there and it would be for the
city's interest to protect that property.
The matter was finally settled by allowing
the box to remain there and accept $50 per
year for it's use.
Council Called to Order.
All the members present except Coun-
Gilman Damorais.
Councilman Cowperthwaite from the
Committee on Finance said that the COM

lutionL relative to extending the fire SER
vice to Valley Falls.
Councilman Coulquhoun said he under
stood from the communication that the
entire department would not be called to
Cumberland in case of fire. In that case
Central Falls would remain well protected,
and did not see but what it would be
good thing for the city.
Councilman Carlin stated that IL the
proposition was accepted the $1,000 re-
ceived from Cumberland could be used for
the purchase of new hose carriage which
was greatly needed and could not be Sc
cured on account of the reduction Of the
appropriation.

opened by Councilman Dexter, and he
made some plain statements.

figure named was defeated by vote of
to 8.
