At the meeting OF the Business Mems
association last evening II was decided
that an old home week celebration would
not be a profitable venture 30 the matter
was dropped, as some OF the leading mem
bers OF the organization have from the
start said such costly affair would be
OF no permanent benefit 70 Olneyville.
The question relating TO the Greystone
line OF cars was taken up and II proved
to be hopeless for Manager Potter OF the
Rhode Island company informed the COM
mittee that the residents OF Greystone
preferred the Smith street route although
they would like TO have every other car
from that village run via Olneyville.
However, the railroad company could not
make such arrangements. The association
will not drop the matter until the new
management OF the Rhode Island COM
pany has been consulted.
