The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1903-12-05

The matter Of express facilities Is en-
gasing the attention OF n number OF the
business men here just at present II
Is regrettable fact that these are not
nearly as great as there should be In a
town Of the size and Importance OF East
! Providence. II Is true that there are a
number OF local expressmen, but mono
| OF the companies which take matter for
distant points here have an office in the
| town, and In order 20 ship goods away
| II is necessary to go 10 the expense or
delivering them at the express Office In
| Providence.
| II is seldom that anything but a local
| express team In seen doing business in
| the town, although there are large bust
ness interests here and there seems no
legitimate reason why the people OF the
town should not have facilities OF this
kind commensurate with the Importance
of the town an business community.
The matter was freely discussed at the
last meeting Of the Business Mems as
ISOLATION. but no action was taken In re-
gard 10 the matter. because number
who wanted to be heard in the premises
could not be present at that session.
