CRANSTON.
Residents of the New village Iacens:d.
The POcasset Fair.


The residents of the New Village are
much incensed at recent act OF the n.
L. 'R. r. company. The company has
erected a tall fence made of long railroad
ties from the station at Dyer avenue east
ward TO place beyond Princess avenue.
This very stout breastwork has cut OF all
travel between the New Village and
CranstoE street, via Princess and Gtandish
avenues. To cross the railroad, pedcs-
trians must walk around via Narragan-
sett avenue or dyer nverue, the former
about "a quarter OF mile and the latter
nearly that farther than the way that has
heen closed 20 foot travel. Although tie
fence is inconveniencing the village folk,
the railroad company is justified in It's
action. The foot crossings that have bsen
closed have been very dangerous, children
going 10 ana from school have had many
narrow escapes from death on the tracks
and trainlnen confess that they stood in
constant fear OF sad accidents at these
places. The Inconvenience 10 which the
people are put revives the old question Of
building foot bridge across the tracks
at the foot of Princess avenue.
A gay throng attended the Pocasset
fair, kDiehtsville, last night. The fol-
lowing organizations each had number
of representatives there: Pawtucket Vol
unteer Fire Company. Alert Fire Com
paDy of Riverside Arlington Hose Com
pany. CrJnston Lyceum. Manton Hose
Company. Elmwood Wheshmgn Young
Mems Literary CluD of Cranston. Aurora
Cycle Club. Pawtucket Cycle Club and
the Cranston Steam Fire Engine Com
paDy. The guests expressed them selves
as being highly pleased with the generous
hospitality of their hosts and the beauties
of the great fair.

The StOrrs Elephant.

For number of years we have thought that the Storrs School was the biggest elephant that the state of Con- necticut ever bought-a regular old Jumbo in comparison with the other elephants which the state supports. While we have been satisfied in our own mind that the Storrs School was mighty expensive luxury nevertheless we have not been in possession of data to prove our impressions or to back up assertions that we desired to make. But now . correspondent of the Hartford Times comes forward with facts and fig ures which are so convincing that we have felt constrained to reprint them elsewhere in this issue.
 We have felt it in our bones" that the only excuse that could be given by our past and present legislators for maintaining the Storrs School was this, viz: It IS ''sop" thrown to the far mers to appease them; or in other words while the howl of "class Legislation" has been abroad in the land. the main tenance of the Storrs School was rec ognition of the farming interests-a sort of ''class Legislation" for the benefit of farmers.
 Now let us see who has been bun- coed. What farmer could afford to take an elephant as gift and be com pelled to support it? Farmers cannot hide their property from the assessor. Farmers always pay more than their proportion of taxes. and we venture to say that the farmers have already paid dearly for the Storrs elephant. They not only paid toward it's purchase, but have constantly paid toward it's mainte- nance. How much longer false pride will lead them to support the elephant remains to be seen. The facts and fig ures given to-day are worthy of serious consideration.
