Lawyer 0sfieId's Bill Allowed In FuII-Whist
Party at SaylesviIle- Notes.

The Cumberland Town Council met In
monthly session yesterday afternoon, and
in some instances took a very decided
stand.
The monthly bills were presented and
allowed and ordered paid.
Among the bills presented was a bill
from j. Osfield, Jr., of $50 for defending
Messrs. Dwyer and Shea, ex-License Com
missioneN, during the investigation held
some time ago, and one for S25 for defend
ing the Board of License Commissioners in
proceedings.
A license to sell liquors was granted to
Patrick Tanning for retail shop near the
Home Bleachery.
f. F. Curry, James Skinner and w. II.
Bolster were appointed commission to
establish grade on Mill street.
Town Clerk Clark was authorized to no
tify all druggists doing business in the
town to apply for liquor licenses at the
next meeting of the Council.
The bill of the Union Steam and Gas
Company for $is2.76 was allowed and or
dered paid.
In connection with this bill II might be
said that when the contract for furnishing
the heating apparatus for the schools was
made the Pawtucket Steam and GAG Com
pany gave bond that the apparatus would
work to the entire satisfaction Of the town.
1t seems that the heating apparatus in
some of the schools has not given good re-
suits, and after repeated attemps had been
made to have them make the necessary re-
pairs the contract for repairing them was
given to the Union Steam and Gas Com
pany. Now the town proposes to sue the
bondsmen of the company for the amount
of the bill.
1t was voted to adjourn until Feb. % to
canvass the voting lists.

A whist party was held last evening at
the residence of Mrs. Walter Spaulding

comprised several young friends of Mrs.
Spaulding from Lonsdale and other viii
lagos. Several tables were occupied, the
games proving most interesting to the
young people. Refreshments were served
during the evening, and part of the even
ing was devoted to piano and vocal selec-
tions and recitations.
