to agree TO a tunnel at ALL and that the
plan IL suggests Is the only one 10 which
IL will agree. as was said in the case OF
the detention house" transfer plan sew
eral years ago.
To the objection against the citys per-
mitting the tunnel to become the absolute
property OF the Rhode Island company. II
is said that the argument will be advanc-
ed that. as the city owns the streets at
both ends OF the tunnel. it's control Of
the situation is not impaired.
This, OF course. ignores the fact that
the Rhode Island company claims under
its franchise TO hold absolute perpetual
rights in all streets for street car traf-
fic.
II also ignores the fact that from the
very outset of the construction OF the
tunnel the city will never receive one
penny from the Rhode Island company
either for the loaning of the city's credi,
to the corporation or In the form of rem
tai for the use OF the tunnel
THAT Is the most ridiculous proposition
ever seriously proposed To any munich
pality outside OF Providence" said a
large taxpayer on the East Eide this
morning.
Think Of the goll OF the thing. The
city to give its credit TO a half-mllion-
dollar project and nominally own IL, but
on the bonds and then take up the bonds
as they become due, owning the tunnel
at the expiration of the period, while
the city will receive nothing out OF II.
IL suppose our viglant council commit
tee intends that the city shall receive no
rental. regarding the paying OF interest
on what the railroad may regard as its
property rom the start as rental.
"If the citys credit is better than that
OF the railroad company. consider the
advantage the company would have from
| this fact alone In obtaining plenty OF
money NJ the lowest possible interest rate
| and plenty Of time In which TO pay IL
back. and then II would own forever this
only approach worth having to the east
side OF the river.
"Why don't the city fathers appropri-
ate the money outright for the benefit of
! the Rhode Island company and beg the
! company 90 accept II. N only as slight
| tribute OF esteem from the fair slave
which the state olgarchy has bound anr

officials that there was something unusual
sticking out OF the ground in the woods
near the Diamond Hill ledge.
II is said the highway officials after
considerable digging unearthed stone
crusher that had every appearance of hav-
ing been buried for 10 years or more. The
news is creating some little laughter not
TO mention criticism among the residents
OF the town and many OF the taxpayers
are asking why the town Is paying some
one else 10 cents ton for crushed stone
and burying It's own stone crushers In the
wilderness.
At recent meeting OF the town coun-
ell IL was stated that stone could be
crushed at a cost OF 20 cents a ton and
