There has been much talk recently
concerning the reorganization of the
militia and correspondingly little ac-
tually done. None of the Worcester
captains have taken any decided steps
towards getting their old militia COM
panies together and it is likely that
nothing of much Importance will be
done until after the paying off of men
and the final settlement III all the af-
fairs of the companies as organizations
in the United States service. Captain
Moynihan Of the Emmets was seen
yesterday morning by The Spy man,
and said that he had done nothing to-
wards military reorganization. and
would not do so until after he had
been mustered out with the men of his
command.
Capt. E. C. Barrett of the City

The board of aldermen held one of the
shortest sessions of the year last even
ing for the purpose of certifying to the
returns of the precinct officers as re-
ceived by the city clerk at the state
election. The returns as a whole We're
referred to the standing committee on
elections, which later reported that they
had examined the returns and found
them to be correct. The original returns
were amended by the returns from the
recount, and the certificates as APP
proved were then severally signed by
the aldermen.
The following communication from
the city solicitor and the city engineer
relative to the franchise of the Worces-
ter Consolidated Street Railway Com
pany to lay tracks in Salisbury and
other streets, was read:
To the Board of Aldermen of the City
of Worcester
You have referred the petition of the
Worcester Consolidated Street Railway
Company for a revision and amend
ment of your decree adopted October
II, 1898, granting said company loca-
ton for tracks in Pleasant and other
solicitor.
The decree Of October II, 1898. was
adopted substantially as drawn by US
in compliance with an order adopted by
the board of aldermen on the 18th day
Of September, 1898. "The grant is to be
issued upon the best terms and condi-
tions it is possible to obtain under the
law as it will be October j, 1898" This
provision being inserted in your order.
DndpT w hiph the decree oniaatAd IN b,,
the Worcester Consolidated Street Rail
way Company was drawnby us, we felt
1t to be our duty to insert and insist
upon every condition which had there
tofore usually been inserted in DEGREES
providing for locations in streets SINH
lar in circumstances to those in which
the present location was requested and
that if an error of judgment were COM
mitted by us it ought to be rather in
favor of the interests of the city than
otherwise. We therefore inserted All
the conditions which have recently
been inserted although by reason Of
conference with the attorney of the
street railway company we were in
formed of the companys objection to
these clauses. We did not feel that il
was left as a matter of discretion for US
to determine what was advisable, but
that we We're bound to insert all that
could by any possible construction Of
the law be deemed within it's provisions
In our opinion it cannot be said to be
clear as a matter cI law that the con-
ditions objected to by the street rail-
way company are invalid under the
provisions of chapter SIS Of the laws Of
1888, although there is strong argu-
ment for this position, nor on the other
hand can say with entire certainty
that the conditions are legally author

Alderman Mellen questioned the ad-
visibility of letting down the bars in
this case, as the legislature was con-
tinually changing the laws in relation
to street railways. The laws passed at
the last session, he said, were entirely
in the interests of the corporations and
against home rule. He questioned the
wisdom of a snap judgment Inc
amendment of the insertion OF the
