FACTORY ADDITION.
Early In the spring the United Wire
and supply company OF Providence took
possession OF a factory located on North
Mat, atreat In fhia city and at al hout the
same time the firm purchased quite a
plot Of ground adjoining the building on
which II was stated at the time an addi-
tion would later be erected. The plans
for this addition have now been COM
pleted and the work OF construction Is
about to begin. 1t is stated that these
PLANS are something In the nature Of a
novelty in the manufacturing building
line. inasmuch as IL will be as near fire-
proof as human ingenuity can devise
The purpose. IL Is said is TO use con-
crete in all parts OF the structure, both
in the exterior and interior, and that
the only wood which will be used In
the construction will be In the windows
The management declare that when
this building Is completed II will have
no automatic sprinklers and they have
such faith In It's fireproof capacity that
they will not place any insurance on It.
A Deisel oil engine is to be installed
for the generation OF electricity and
each machine will be run by its own
motor. This system Is now being quite
generally adopted IN manufacturing
establishments. as II saves expense In
operation, because when q machine Is
shut down no power Is being used.
The new plant will be in operation In
about 90 days and 1t is TO be erected by
Boston contracting firm.
A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
A horse belonging to Edward Martin
and attached to light buggy
became frightened on Central avenue
yesterday and started on a lively run
through Sabin street to Broadway.
There was nothing to impede its prog
ress through the former thorough
fare. but when It reached Broadway It
attempted TO pass another wagon which
was standing by the curbstone. There
was collision In which neither vehicle
was much damaged and the runaway
was captured.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE MATTERS.
1t had been expected that there would
be a special meeting OF the school COM
mittee the latter part OF the present
week. but II was not called and II Is
possible that there will be none.
II IS n fact that there II lot OF
work for the school committee to do be-
fore the opening OF the schools I'm Sep
tember. At the last regular meeting
there was talk OF emitting the August
meeting OF the board but because there
was so much that must be attended to
to make ready for the schools II was
not deemed advisable TO adjourn over
for two months. Some OF the members
believed that much OF this work could
be attended 10 at once and then there
would be no necessity for the regular
meeting next month. but II would seem
that Chairman Little thinks differently.
He stated yesterday that quite number
OF the members were out OF town and
that the sub committees which were
attending 10 the work In their several
departments were probably not ready
now to make any reports, so that he
was OF the opinion that there would be
TO special meeting.
The two most important matters before
the sub-committees has to do with the
repairs on the several school buildings
and the matter OF contributions OF text
books. At the last meeting Mrs. Tobie.
chairman OF the property committee.
which has In charge the matter OF repairs,
made report giving list OF the differ
ent repairs which I'm her opinion should
be attended TO during the vacation III
all this work was done II would require
an expenditure OF about 5000. and II Is
only fair 10 state that greater part OF
the work Is actually needed. But the
committee is not possessed OF 5000 for
this work. Instead Of that there has been
placed I'm the hands OF the property COM
mittee n little more than $780, which Is
the amount OF an unexpended balance
which was turned over for this work.
Application had been made to the city
council for something over $500 more, but
up 10 the present time that body has not
seen M TO appropriate II and II will prob
ably be against the policy OF Chairman
Little TO spend any more money that has
been appropriates for II. because Commis-
sioner Ranger has declared that the right
to do this exists with the school board
that Mr.. Little has expressed his dissat-
isfaction with that opinion. II Is difficult
however, to see how the repairs which
actually must be made before the schools
can begin their fall work, are going to
be put through with only 5000. 1t Is a.
known fact that some OF the members
OF the committee believe that the work
should be done even II by so doing there
should be created n deficit and when the
next meeting occurs whether IL be the
regular one next month or special one
