COMMITTEES ACTION.

Likelihood of a Spirited Discussion on
the Telephone Matter in the Board.
A majority of members of the alder
manic telephone committee have dccid-
ed on what, in their estimation, is for
the best interests of the city Of Wor-
cester.
They have investigated the indcpend-
ent telephone proposition thoroughly,
and have voted by majority Of 3 to 2
to grant the Worcester Telephon0 COM
pany leave to withdraw on its petition
for locations in the streets of Worces-
ter.
Aldermen O'Connell and Kendall ia
vor granting the petition, and will
doubtless put up strong argument
when the recommendation of the com
mittee is submitted to the full board.
Whether a minority report will be pre-
scented remains to be determined. Mem
beers of the committee do not care to
discuss The subject, but the reconInen-
dation of the committee is thoroughly
understood.
Those who favor granting the petit
TONERS leave to withdraw feel conf
dent of having a majority in the board

while recognizing the ability of men be-
hind the independent movement in
Worcester consider their action for the

PROTESTS AGAINST CONDITIONS.

A man who lives near the corner of
Elm and Merrick streets called at the
office of the superintendent of sewers
yesterday afternoon, to register d pro
test against the condition of a lot of
land in the neighborhood owned by the
Lincoln heirs. The man complained
that a large quantity of broker pipe
had been left on the ground, and that
quantities of leaves had been hauled
off the streets and dumped While ne
does not own the land, it distresses him
to look at the lot in it's present cond.
ton. Clerks in the sewer depar tment
office explained that a quantity of pipe
had been piled on the land, and tltat
the broken pieces would be cleaned up
as soon as possible. AS to the leaves
the department was not responsible.
