NO ACTION YET ON

1t is hoped the men who compose the

is satisfied. but II is pretty safe state
ment that outside of n little coterie this

condemned. People living In Pawtucket.
Cumberland and Lincoln will from tomor-
row on receive their gas at the rate of

a bigger price than Is being paid by other
places but such talk Is only made for

Then some persons In their efforts to
square the aldermen have said that IL this
discrimination Is made in the price the
city can order the pipes removed from the
streets and then II would be impossible
for the gas company TO keep its contract
with the towns OF Cumberland and Lin
coin. This equally foolish.
In the first place, IL the gas company
was ordered 10 remove its pipes from the
streets of this city the community would
have 90 fall back on kerosene or tallow

There Is hardly business enough In the
city OF Central Falls TO maintain a gas

formed could not branch out
In the meantime the board OF aldermen
will dodge the question TIL the regular
next month and after that theer will be
conferences between the committee and
the gas company. during which time the
people will pay the extra 30 cents per
thousand for their gas and the town will
lose besides the two per cent. tax which
will come 20 the city treasury after an
exclusive franchise is given.
There is not the slightest doubt that the
principle Of granting exclusive long-term
franchisese is n bad one. and Il was only
a matter OF principle the board would be
upheld In it's course But here Is case
whore conditions are such that 20 all
intents and purposes the company has
