dered the removal.
IL the site OF one Of these monuments
was not needed for Federal building
IL is a question in mind whether the re-
moval or relocation should have been
considered at all
QUEsTIoN-How BINDING?
The question which we should consider
is how Ynuch we are bound by the action
of the general assembly IN authorizing
us 10. expend this money TO move the
statue asl
think the present location OF the Sol
diers' and Sailors monument better than
in the middle OF Exchange place, for II
is source of pride and convenience for
military evolutions this unbroken square.
and II should not be broken
We should not do this II we can avoid
doing so, for one reason, because OF the
expense attendant upon the removal.
We are not bound to acquiesce in the
action Of any commission OF the state
nor incur this expense
think an interchange OF views on this
subject Is desirable and the very fact
they ask for our permission for the re-
location is an indication that Il is op
-tteffabfe- with rs wfrich should be done.
When the vote was taken Alderman
Grant was the only one who favored the
resolution, Aldermen Budlong. Cooke.
Dunn. Perkins. Presbrey, Reynolds and
Sisson voting in opposition.
TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL.
The report OF the committee on city
property relative to enarging the Techni-
cal High school was received. and the
resolution appropriatlng $4,000 for alter
Ing, enlargng and furnishing the Tech
meal High school was read
Alderman Dunn asked II the Technical
High school had an evening school Being
Informed that II had not he said that II
was high time that the school committee
gave more attention to the poor children
and not devote 40 much time 10 the more
wealthy ones
know that IL is not the province OF this
board 10 order evening sessions but
think that II is time that we are giving
our poorer children a chance for techni-
cal education, those who have to work
days, ] mean, did not have this privi-
lege OF attending that school and perhap ps
might have enabled me 10 acquire the
theory of my trade (plumbing) easier
without serving a long apprenticeship
think we ought 10 give the boys now
growing up a chance at technical train
ing
Aldermen Reynolds and Perkins object
cd 10 the passage OF the resolution be-
cause the resolution left too much lati-
tude 10 the city property committee and
they said they would not favor II until
they knew more OF what was 10 be done.
Alderman Dunn said he had confidence
in the ability of the committee and could
not see any reason TO vote against the
resolution. My proposition is that a city
like Providence ought To have trade
school
Alderman sisson said that he believed
in night sessions there too and said that
the present crowded condition forbade
them now.
II is an unusual condition we have to
face as well as the resolution is unusual
Alderman Cook suggested that Il would
be well To have the board see the plans
before the resolution passes. -
KNOCK AT FIRE STATION.
We built fire station once about which
a lot has been said and I venture 10 say
that.lf we saw those plans we would new
er have approved them.
We are sorry about IL but cannot help
1t and do not want to make such a mis-
take again
