In connection with the name, Public

I'm front Of the State House and Normal
school. there are plans on foot TO make

ming. a Boston landscape gardener, has
made designs to beautify the place. Then
will the mushroom and aruchoke hunt
ers have 70 seek pastures new and the
sound OF the baseball bat will no longer
be heard by the side OF the canal
The beautifying OF this almost desert
spot will add greatly to the value Of this
breathing place I'm the centre of the city,
and will be very attractive to persons
passing through on trains at the depot.
The area of the three lots is l6l, 500
square feet, or a little less than four
acres Its valuation was estimated at the
last assessment to be $3.50. 199. The mar
row tract contains a, All square feet and
it's valuation has been estimated at $SS,-
S34 or 81 square foot. The triangle In
front OF the Normal school is 57,lS square
feet in size and 1t is assessed for $S5,6oS
or a little less than $3.50 per square foot.
The largest tract contains 6O,404 square
feet and is valued at sl6, ,70.
According 10 the plans, these plats will
be divided into flower beds. which are TO
be separated by walks and paths.
Six rows OF trees are 20 be set out
as we'll three on either side OF Francis

rows that Is. toward the yard on the
narrow lot and toward the junction of
Gaspee and Promenade streets, on the
triangular section. a row Of California
privet and another of ginko. a Japanese
tree, will be planted.
The remainder of the triangular lot will
be devoted 10 shrubs and herbaceous
plants. These are not to be set out in
n regular order. so they will present an
appearance as much like nature as
1t is possible In an artificial garden.
The principal shrubs to be used are
stag horn sumac, mock orange. Thum-
bergs barberry. red osier and japanese
rose. a pretty shrub from the "Flowery

TO REDUCE
Rates FOR
TELEPHONES

BY a new rate schedule, 10 go into
effect about the first OF June. Hon. Dex-
ter b. Potter. president OF the Provi-
dence Telephone company, says that local
residence rates In cities and towns will
be reduced. This question Of rates was
referred to a committee on rates. aud now
is holding meetings, at which the rates
are considered from the point Of view OF
both the company and the subscriber.
Yesterday sufficient Information had been
obtained TO warrant a statement that re-
ductions will be ordered wherever prac-
ticable TO give lower charges without i'm
pairing the quality Of the service or pre-
venting reasonable return on the cap
ital invested.
Probably" said the president. "the re-
ductions will be largely in local residence
rates in the cities and towns covered
by the company's lines. The extent OF
the reductions has not been determined,
and definite figures cannot be stated until
we have additional facts bearing on the
subject But It may be said that the
new rates will be officially announced
about the first Of June"
There is no intention OF charging more
for service In Pawtucket or In any other
part Of the company's territory" said
Mr.. Potter. THE Pawtucket story seems
TO be based on our decision not TO in
crease the number Of ground circuits. We
have explained TO our ground circuit pa
irons that the metallic circuit Is much
better and that il costs twice as much
for switchboard wires and construction.
Not n word was said about higher charges.
on the contrary. rates. as explained, are
20 be reduced. IL is not good policy to
try 10 use ground circuits II we changed
from the metallic TO the ground circuit
all over the system, the service would be
ruined by escaping currents from the high
tension wires of other companies dis
tributins electric power. The metallic
circuit alone affords good service. and ais
rates are being made attractive to the
public by reason Of Improvements, we do
not feel justified I'm using the ground for
the return OF the very delicate current
employed by the telephone company"
