Washington st. Turn
out Comes Up.
On Neither Was Any Action
Taken by Board.

The special meeting of the mayor and
board Of aldermen was held yesterday af-
ternoon rpd the bearings on the Coles
worthy b Hiding permit and the Washing
ton street turnout for the Portland and
Yarmouth road continued.
The petition for the turnout presented
by the Portland and Yarmouth road asked
for q location between Walnut and Marion
streets. When the hearing WAS opened
MIR. Ezekiel Hanson the truckman was
one Of those who appeared to protest
against the turnout being granted. He
said that he had been passing through
Washington street now for about twenty
years and that the street was never insa
very good condition. Now 1t Is in worse
shape than ever before. The two railroad
tracks through the street make IL an
extremely dangerous street to drive
through. He said that for his part he
should object to turnout being built on
Washington street.. He could see no rea-
not usa one track for outward oars and
the other for Inward oars. thus giving
both roads the use of doubls track.
Philip Downing, who owns property on
Washington street. objected to the petit
tion of the Yarmouth road being granted.
He said with two railroads operating in
this street the danger to pedestrians was
very great. He said that many tax pay
ers on Washington street objected to the
turnout being located there but they said
1t would be no use coming TO the hearing.
Mr.. Downing said: "This is merely a
matter of form anyway, this hearing.
They've got the Doodle and they'll get the
turnout. i came here to object to its
being located on that street and have
said all want TO say"
Alderman Smith-"Do you own prop.
erty on this street."
Mr.. Downing-"Yes. sir, do.
Mr.. Seth l.. Larrabee said that the
petitioners had nothing further to say and
the hearing was then closed.
MR.. COLESWORTHY'S HOUSE.
The hearing on Mr.. Coiesworthy's
house was then taken up at the point
where it was dropped ON Thursday. MIR.
Colesworthy exhibited pictures of his
house from various points and then took
the floor to give further testimony in
answer to the questions by Judge Pea
body. his counsel.
MIR. Coiesworthy said he thought the
ell was strong enough or would be when
it was completed. Mr.. Jordan, the build
ing inspector, has seen the ell but had not
spoken to Mr.. Colesworthy about the
building being unsafe. Mr.. Hanson was

Rescript- Per .Curiam. The evidence
upon the part Of the plaintiff as to where
the accident, which resulted In injury to
her, happened is most indefinite and un-
satisfactory, and 1t Is impossible TO tell
whether IL was upon the planking at
the crossing OF the highway by the elec-
trio rosd or outside Of this plank crossing.
But in either event the cours 10 satlsfi d
that the verdict IN the plaintiffs favor
cannot be sustained. The plank crossing
was not defective, 1t was of sufIicient
length and reasonably suitable in all re-
speots. Upon the other hand, IL the acci-
dent happened outside OF the plank CROSS

and the public had right to know its
proceedings and votes. 1t was quite
obvious that the board could not under
stand how they had so soon drifted from
an executive session to public meeting
and for some time the mayor and the
board seemed to be at cross purposes.
Alderman MRnnix rose to question OF
privilege and said it had been customary
for the hoard to go into executive session
and that this meeting was in faot an in
formal meeting. He contended that the
gentleman from seven had a right to ask
that no one but members be present when
the vote was taken and thought that
reporters should not be there. Several of
the aldermen interposed suggestions and
the mayor saw that he had been sum-
