fishermen will be frightened away and
the more trout remain for the man
who takes unfair means to attempt to
preserve unto himself all the trout to
be had.
A prominent fisherman, and man
who is recognized as a true sportsman,
said to The Spy man last night: For
20 wears this thing has been going on
and it is high time it were stopped. l
never saw so many brooks posted
against legitimate fishing since l was
a boy Half the signs in Worcester
county have been put up by fishermen
who take this unfair advantage in the
sport. The farmers consent is seldom
asked. When he sees the sign upT he
knows it will do no harmA possibly
some good, and does not take the
trouble to take the sign down., Fisher
men now, however are awarel of the
trick and I advise that. tlleN} pursue
the course that I intend to follow. The
first man 1 meet who is postinA a brock
without authority will go itlto the
brook unless he is considerably larger
than the average run of meia whom
every fisherman who followss the sport
believes are responsible for three
quarters of the posting in ( Worcester
county"

COMMON COUNCIL.

| A long drawn out meeting of nearly
three hours devoid of startling features
and unproductiVe of important bust
ness was the result of the meeting of
the common council.
The excitement of the evening came
when the report of the committe on po-
lice relative to a new police signal ser
vice, which was laid over from the last
meeting, was taken up. The report
came down from the upper board, ac-
companied by an order to which was
attached an amendment providing that
before a contract for a new service
should be signed the mayor should re-
quire bond from the company ac-
cepting the contract, guaranteeing the
perfect working of the system for a
term of ten years.
Several of the cOuncilmen character
lied such an amendment as ludicrous,
chief among who was Councilman
Meagher, a member of the committee
on police. He has taken considerable
interest in and made careful study of
the system in operation in this and
other cities, and pointed out the defects
of the local system.
Councilman Meagher said that the
opposition to the adoption of the order
which provides for the installation of
an entirely new system at an expense
not to exceed $40, 900, came from few
police officials whose duties might be
augmented by the new system. Every
one who had seen the condition of the
present system was convinced that it
was utterly useless.
Councilman Mcmahon suggested that
the system now in use might be put
in repair and kept SO by the present
city electrician, at a slight expense.
Councilman Lancaster said that it
would be difficult to get any company
or corporation to give the bond re-
uuired in the order as amended. The
most they would agree to do would be
to guarantee to have it in complete
working order when turned over to the
city. When the order was finally put
/ to a vote with the amendment, it was
unanimously lost, and the council then
! insisted on its former, action in the
adoption of the order.
| The order to place the city portion
Of the street railway tax, amounting to
! s17,774.54. to the credit of the street
| department maintenance account, was
the occasion for objections on the part
| Of Councilman O'Leary.
| Councilman Timon explained that the
intention of the law was that the
money accruing to cities as a result Of
this tax on the street railways, should
be applied to the maintenance of the
| streets. The motion to refer the order
| to the committee on finance was lost
by a vote of Is to Z, and the order
| adopted.
Among other petitions for the discon-
| tinuance of street watering was Ed
mond LOBBY, whose property abuts on
South Harding street. The committee
on streets reported leave to withdraw
The report was finally, I'm the case IF
this petitioner, recOmmitted to the
! committee on streets for further con-
| sideratiOn.
] Various petitions for crOsswallls
| sidewalks and lights were introduced
! by members and referred to the proper
| committees. and the council adjourned
! to May Is.

A VACATION SCHOOL
Civic Club Has a New
Educational
Plan.

After an interregnum Of sevefal
months, the Civic Club held meeting
Saturday afternoon at the Y. W. c. a.
George 1. Alden, the chairman, presid-
ed.
OF the new business the most impof-
tant related to the organization of "a
vacation school in Worcester the com
ing summer. This vacation school
should do for older children what the
sand garden does for the little tots, and
besides keeping them out of the streets
through the long, hot summer days, it
is the hope of the Civic Club that man
ual training may be brought in tt give
them some instruction in practical
things. 1t is possible that the manual
training rooms on Walnut street may
be used for this purpose-at any rate,
the Civic Club would regard it is
great step toward the consummtion
of its wishes if the school committee
should see fit to give 1t the use of hem
through July and August.
For the furtherance of the
movement for vacation school,
public meeting some time this moth,
and if possible to engage DR.. John Gra
ham Brooks of Cambridge for the pin
cipal address. Mr.. Alden and John E.
Lynch, the secretary, are now in or
respondence with Mr.. Brooks.
The Civic Club also acted upon
suggestion from the executive board of
the Woman's Club, and elected a con-
mittee of three to attend the meetirgs
of the school committee. The idea Of
the executive board seems to be that Us
there are women on the school commit
tee, elected through the exertions of tie
Woman's Club and the Cuvic Club. t
would be a pleasant and a civil thing
if those two bodies should show Their
interest by being personally represent
ed at the meetings of the school CON
mittee. From the communication d
the executive board of the WOmani
Club it appears that it purposes to ap
point two members to attend the meet
ings of the school committee in con
junction with the Civic Clubs repres
entatives. The Civic Club appointed
Mrs, Henry S. Pratt, Miss Sarah A,
Henshaw and Mrs. Horace Kendall to
represent it at the school committee
meetings.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.


The smooth paving question which
has been unheard of for some time past
is once more before the city council.
Alderman Barrett presented a petition
at last nights meeting. signed by w.
A. Lytle & Co. and other business men
along Main street, and addressed to
the president and members of the
board of aldermen, as follows:
We, the undersigned, desire TO call
your honorable board to the fact that
nearly II years ago an order was
adopted for construction of smooth
paving on Main street. We now re-
specially. ask that the work begin at
an early date, as it is of great inn
portance to every citizen doing bust
ness on said street and Of great bene-
fit to the public"
Alderman Barrett also introduced an
order that the petition be referred to
the committee on stress, the committee
to confer with the street commissioner
and inquire into all the details con-
nected with the question. Whether the
streets are TO be torn up in the near
future, the ACCESSIBILITY of laying
smooth pavement on one side of the
street from Austin to Walnut street or
on both sides for one-half the distance,
the kind of pavement, the legality of
such action and all matters appertain-
ing. The order was referred to the
committee on streets with instructions
to report at the next meeting of the
board
The board voted unanimously to con-
cur with the common council on the
order authorizing the mayor to petition
the general court for authority to bor-
row $500 900. to be used in the payment
of water damages. The report for the
watering of Endicott street, recon-
mending that the petitioner be given
leave TO withdraw, gave rise to a little
discussion. Alderman O'Connell want
ed the report recOmmmitted, but the
common council failed to concur, and

The Aldermen Con
firm Assessor O'Con-
nell After All.
NEW POLICE SIGNAL.
Consolidated Allowed to
Withdraw on Malvern
Road Petition.

Last nights session of the city coun-
ell was comparatively uneventful as
compared with that of a week ago.
The principal sensation of the evening
was sprung in the board of aldermen
when Alderman Kendall moved that
the appointment of John NJ. OConnell
as assistant assessor be confirmed.
A decided change was in evidence
from the action of the board week
ago. At that time the republicans
voted as one man in favor of the mo-
ton of Alderman Huot, that all the
appointments of the mayor be confirm
ed, with the exception of O'Connell.
Since that time it is understood that
the mayor has expressed himself
strongly in favor of O'Connelrs con-
frmation.
The matter was clinched last night
when Alderman Back who has been
away from the city, appeared in the
board. There was a consultation of the
republican alderment as a result of
which there was unanimous vote in
FAVOR OF the combination OF Ar. OCOQ-
nell. Alderman Back may be given a
large share of the credit for this
change in the sentiment of the republi-
cans.
The report of the committee on police
relative to a new police signal system
gave rise to considerable discussion in
both boards but the original order was
finally adopted The order was to the
effect that the chief of police under
direction Of the mayor be empowered
to contract for a new system at an ex-
pense not to exceed $4,000. Alderman
O'ConnelI moved as an amendment
that the company be required to fur
nish satisfactory bond that the sys-
tenn should give good satisfaction for
10 years.
The common council voted to adopt
the order as originally proposed in nom
concurrence, and when the order came
back the aldermen concurred with
them leaving the matter m the he
of the mayor to make a satisfactory
contract.
The aldermen voted 20 grant leave
to withdraw on the petition of the Con-
solidated Street Railway company fer
franchise to lay a single track IN Nal
vern road. The same action was tax

pany for side track in Front street.
