CENTRAL FALLS
ALDERMEN DID
LITTLE BUSINESS


There was a special meeting OF the
board OF aldermen at the city hall last
evening, but practically no business OF
Importance was transacted. In the call
for the special meeting the matter men,
toned for action was that of granting
licenses to milk dealers which had been
recommended by the milk Inspector
Under the rules other business could be
taken up by unanimous consent, hut when
the matter OF taking up the several reso-
lutlons which had been acted upon by
the common council came up Alderman
Smith objected and the meeting ad-
journed.
The secert OF this inaction lies in the
fact that the council has passed resolu-
tions calling for the appointment OF a
committee 10 confer with the Pawtucket
Gas company. on the proposition which
that company has made for l5-year ex-
elusive franchise in this city, under the
| same conditions as have been granted 10
| the city OF Pawtucket. Against this there
has been a protest by representatives OF
the William A. Harris Steam Engine COM
| pany. which claims that this Is only an
entering wedge which will later mean the
| asking OF an electric light franchise.
few people have opposed the granting
OF the franchise. declaring that II was
| against the best interests OF the city, and
| II would seem that members OF the board
| OF aldermen were dodging the question.
| There was a special meeting of the board
called the night that the common coun-
ell acted on this matter but only two
| members OF that body appeared and
/ tharQfOra M ha toll
| night II could have come UP by unani-
| nous consent, but there was an objection.
| and so II will row lay over till the regu-
lar meeting OF the board In July.
According TO the reading OF the proposed
franchise IL was TO go Into effect on July
l. but certain citizens OF the city who
| appear TO have taken a great deal of in
terest In the matter, have declared t4at
| the gas company would not be allowed 10
charge the people OF Central Falls one
| price for gas and the people OF Pawtucket
another price, even II Pawtucket had
| granted the exclusive franchise I'd Cen
trail Falls had declined. to oe so 1t would
seem that II is the purpose OF some OF the
members OF the board TO put this matter
up TO the gas company and see what is
going to bo done
The board OF aldermen may be inclined
| at the present time 10 dodge the issue.
but IL cannot do so much longer and there
will have TO be a vote on the proposition
Tor committee to confer with the Gas
company pretty soon. r.
TO VISIT STATE INSTITUTIONS.
The members OF the city council are GO
| Ing out TO Cranston on Friday. Overseer
| or the Poor. Frost has invited them TO
| make the trip and when they reach the
END OF the ride they will be given an op-
pot,,tunity ot,nn 10 look through the state insti-
| or Supt Eastman. II is probable that
among other places they will go through
| the state prison.
peen an annual AFFAIR Just why II Is
taken Is something OF mystery o.
course, IL Is rather interesting TO gC
ston, but TO make the trip every year Il
quite another matter. 1t would seem thaI
the members of the city government
might spend the day on a trip down ths
bay, or IL something moro exciting wa.
desired they could take a walk through
tns ,aiss bowery o,,,ty some me evening It wouldp't
quite good many interesting things tc
