Citizens Want Trolley Car
Tracks On SmithfisId Ave.
nue. Changed

A petition signed by $50 people has
been sent 10 the town council asking that
body to have the Smithheld avenue car
tracks removed to the middle of the
street and the speed Of the cars regulat-
ed. This action has been occasioned by
numerous fatalities that have occurred
in Saylesvile since this line has been
established
This summer two children who were
playing on the sidewalk near their homes
in Saylesville ran out on the tracks just
as the Smithfeld avenue electric car
approached and I'm each instance the life
was -eftishea-e,4t-e the small body
While the residents OF that section are
pleased TO have the electric car line for
their own convenience they believe the
tracks ought TO be removed from the
vicinity OF the sidewalks as the oppor-
tunities for serious accidents are too nu-
merous with the rails where they are
at present
AS the street car company Is just as
anxious as the residents TO take meas
ures 10 prevent accidents. IL is believed
that the petition that Is TO be presented
to the town council will be acted on ia
vorably by the Rhode Island company

satisfaction with international unions and
Canadian labor organizations have been
divided on the issue.
The National Trades Congress Is strong

II is yet too early TO tell what effect any
action II may take will have on the un-

Washington. Aug. 22.-After a month OF
hard work, Assistant Secretary oliver OF

finally made a satisfactory adjustment Of
the many difficulties in apportioning the
appropriation OF 100000 for pay OF the

pears that all is not yet satisfactory.
Reports were obtained from different
state governors as 20 the number OF
troops that would be sent 10 the encamp-
ments. the distance they would travel.
etc, and the apportionment was made on
the basis OF the reports received How
ever I'm some cases more state troops
than had been given IN the schedules were
sent 20 the camps and more expense was
thus attached.
This caused a deficit In the allotment
of funds. and especially In the matter

sible that congress will be asked To make
an appropriation 10 cover the deficit and
the state troops paid next winter.
