OLNEYVILLE.
Gasoline Street Lights Coming.
Will Erect a Slaughter House.

The gasoline lamps will soon be in opera
tiou again ON the streets Of Johnston. AT the
special meeting Of the Council which was held
last evening IL was voted to accept the propo-
sitQn of the Globe Gas Light Company 20 put
the lights in operation. and wait for payment
tiil such time as the town is able to meet the
claim. The action OF the Council at the pre-
vious meeting IN ordering electric lights to
take the place Of gasoline evidently had some
effect on the gasoline company, for previous
10 that IL had refused to agree to such terms
as was accepted by its representative last
night.
The lights will be turned on next week.
WILL TAKE A CHANCE.
Martin Winsor stated this morning that he
had sold TO Sheldon Wilbur tho land on the
Killingly road, which the latter desired as a
site for slaughter house.
MIR. Wilbur, it is stated, has taken advice on
the matter and will erect his slaughter
house and then fore. the authorities TO prove
that Il T. nuisance.
The argument is used TINT Mr.. Wiibur-was
allowed TO maintain q slaughter house in
lanyard lane, just off Olneyville square, for
a great many years without causing any AN
noyanco ana there T., therefore, no valid rea-
son why he should bo prevented from locat.
ing in less populous neighborhood.
Z The people who lived In close proximity to
Mr.. Wibur's lanyard establishment, never.
theless, deemed it n nuisance, and on a mum.
bor OF occasions endeavorcd 10 have IL re-
moved, bd' their efforts proved futile fsr
some unknown reason. The protests against
thi. place. however, had tho good effect OF
compelling those in charge to take steps 10
improve its sanitary condition.
