That the Providence Chamber OF Com
merce is not TO secure the open water
space desired for its proposed new build
ing-bounded by Market square, Wash
ington row. Burnside bridge and Canal
street-without opposition was made
manifest at the hearing held at the state
house yesterday afternoon.
While a number spoke in favor OF the
matter, including City Solicitor Colwell
President Frederick II. Jackson OF the
chamber. Colonel r. Martin Brown and
James NJ. Scott, the opposition was even
stronger, and vigorous protest was
made by opponents OF the measure. and
some strong arguments put forth why the
desired permission should be refused.
The opposition To the measure was
headed by Robert J. Gammell. Harbor
Commissioner Shedd, John Carter Brown,
Alfred Stone and Hon. Amasa NJ. Eaton
City Solicitor Colwell spoke first, stating
he had been instructed by the city council
to appear before the committee and sup
port the measure.

luton was unanimously passed by both
branches Of the city council. This loca-
ton was chosen with view 90 not hurt
ing anyone's interest or going against the
wishes OF the citizens"
Colonel H. Martin Brown said the one
mentioned was most favorable, and he
hoped that the act would pass.
John Carter Brown said that he was
opposed To the passage OF the act. From
the health point OF view" he continued.
'it may be very dangerous To block this
stream OF water, especially in the summer
time. 1t Is a dangerous hing for this
principle to go into effect. In that any
body or men may petition The legislature
and get permission 10 use public lands
for their own private purposes.
Frederick II. Jackson, pres!den. OF the
Chamber OF Commerce, sa!d that there
was no intention on the part of the cham
ber 10 get public property without paying

citizens"

ample opportunity for a hearing on the
matter before II was settled. even N the

Gen. William Ames was the next speak
er and opposed the act He said the
great objection TO this thing is that IL
takes the public property and gives II TO
a private corporation.
