The plans for the opening of the Twin
City hospital. which II had been agreed
should occur on Monday next, at Paw
tucket, have been changed. There was n
meeting OF the board OF directors az the
residence OF DR. Heimer last evening and
the matter was gone over thoroughly.
Some time ago the contractors made the
statement that the buildings would be
ready for occupancy by June J. That
date has been changed at varying inter
walls until II was declared a week ago
that everything would be ready for next
Monday.
Now IL is stated that there has been
another delay and that the building will
not be ready for use till later date. Dr.
Heimer. in making his report to the other
members OF the board. did not care to
set any date. He believes the work will
be sufficiently advanced so that he can
get things into operation within week,
but he issnot at all certain. 1t may be
that the opening will occur on Wednes-
day or Thursday evening of the coming
week.

tive and lighting committees OF the Paw
tucket Merchants association at the

utAt Wttht lnt muir Dtllik Ntl lOl d
o'clock A call has been sent out by
President Wood and the purpose of the
meetings is to consider the matter OF
electric lighting in this city
President Wood says that I'm his opinion
the cost OF electricity for lighting pur-
poses In Pawtucket in altogether too high
He points TO the fact that there are very
few electric signs in the city and says
that II the price OF electricity was less
there would be more signs He believes
now the city has secured cheaper rates
for gas II will be possible 10 secure
more reasonable price for electricity.
Another matter which he desires 10
consider is the telegraph service He
says that in a city the size OF Pawtucket
the telegraph offices ought to be kept
open all the time.
