HARDING STREET EXTENSION.

Last nights session of the city coun-
ell was uneventful. Both branches
finished their business in record break
ing time. and at $50 o'clock both
chambers were closed.
The aldermen voted leave to with
draw on the petition of the Consolidated
Street Railway Company, to amend
clause 10 Of the decree locating tracks
in haywood street The clause in
question refers to the cost of regarding
the street, which shall be borne by the
railway company. The city engineer
estimates the cost of the work at
$400
The petition to amend clause of the
same nature in the decree, locating
turnouts in Southbridge street, was al
lowed. as the company agrees to pay
the sum of $3.50 toward the construc-
ton of stone retaining wall on South
bridge street. which is about the only
matter of expense incurred.
The order introduced by Councilman
Connolly two weeks ago, relative to ex-
tending Harding street in event of the
grade crossing problem being settled
came up again last night, and was
adopted in the lower board, but struck
snag in the aldermanic chamber
where the aldermen voted to adhere to
the original action in referring to the
original action in referring to the
committee on streets in non-concur-
renee. This means that conference
will be necessary.
Alderman OConnell made a plea for
better electric car service between
Quinsigamond Village and Greendale
dwelling at some length on the incon-
venience suffered by people who have
occasion to use the line, and advocat-
ing the advisability of five-minute time
on this line.
The principal debate of the evening
was brought out when Alderman Ken
dali moved that the report Of the COM
mittee on streets, recommending the
adoption of an order for the construc-
ton of a granolithic sidewalk on June
street, be taken from the table. The
argument that followed developed the
fact that the sidewalk is 1854 feet in
length, and is estimated to cost
$67S9.70.
Alderman O'Connell wanted to know
how the cost of granolithic compared
with brick. Alderman Vaughan replied
that the cost was about the same, al
though the granolithic cost a few cents
more foot than brick Some remarks
were passed on the difficulty with
which orders for crosswalks on the east
side of the city are put through, but
the order was finally adopted.
On motion of Alderman Vaughan, the
adoption Of an order providing for the
construction of a sidewalk on Agricul-
tural street, was taken from the table
and the report accepted and order
adopted.
