protracted meeting eensued when the
Coventry town fathers met I'm regular ses-
sion yesterday afternoon and although
no business OF special Importance was
transacted, n discussion of some inter
est was listened TO by bunch of interest
cd spectators. When the meeting was
more than half over the question OF sup
plying the two watering troughs one at
Anthony and the other at Washington
came up. President Arnold OF the War
wick and Coventry Water Co, was pres
ent and he was asked what his comapny
would furnish water for both fountains
for, the price formerly being $40 foun-
tain per year. Mr.. Arnold said that the
price would be $500 per year for each
fountain. The council was much taken
aback at this rate which they thought
was fabulous. Mr.. Arnold said that even
at that rate they were only paying half
the price that the city of Providence was
paying. The council would not consider
this rate. however. and Mr.. Arnold asked
what II was worth and Mr.. Capwell, pres
ident. replied that the former price would
be satisfactory and would be readily
agreed to- but Mr.. Arnold claimed that
such price was unreasonable and after
more discussion the matter was dropped.
