JUNK SHOP IN
THE SECOND WARD
CAUSES TROUBLE

The residents In the vicinity OF Halsey
street on the east side I'm the Second ward
are up in arms against what they regard
as scheme on the part of Alphonse
Gaulin Of Woonsocket. the father of the
former mayor of that city, TO decrease the
value OF property in that neghborhood
Mr. Gaulin recently pSrchased a barn
in the rear OF q Halsey s>eet, which Is
known as the 'old Gorham barn" He
let II 10 number OF Hebrews for SIS u
month and then turned II into junk
shop
A junk shop i'm that vicinity is rare and
Mr. Gaulin seeing that the Hebrews could
afford 10 pay more raised the rent to s2s
per month.
The barn is situated in one OF the
choicest residential sections OF the city.
and the residents naturally object. Con-
ditons AZ the barn, II Is said, grew worse
daily. There was considerable noise. and
the Hebrews could be seen with their
push-carts full of old rags and junk IL
was claimed that some OF the Hebrews
lived in the barn.
A complaint was made to the board OF
health a few weeks ago and Inspector
Lewis visited the place. While he found
many disagreeabe conditions. he found
nothing with which the department had
Appeal after appeal was made TO Mr..
Gaulin, the owner but IL is said he did
not even visit the place. He refused 10
eject the Hebrews claiming he owned
the place and would do as he wished with
II.
The matter was brought To the attention
OF the council by representatives Of the
ward. and they advised that Alderman
c. Edward Barney he informed.
When the matter was brought to his at
tention Mr.. Barney visited the city soIic-
itor and acquainted him with the facts,
and Mr.. Baker is now making an inves-
tigation.
John Heathcote owns considerable
property in that vicinity. and this after
noon he stated To a News Democrat re-
porter that he used TO rent a house in
front OF the barn for s45 per month. but
now he can get only s25.
Mr.. Heathcote says ne and his neigh
bors are willing 10 fight the case with
their own money In case the city has not
the power to remedy matters and he
thinks il will be settled in the supreme
court
The fight promises 10 be a warm one,
and is exciting much interest in the east
side.

TUNNEL WORK
PROGRESSING
WITH SPEED

The work on the Consolidated railroad 3
tunnel to the casual observer does not
appear from the surface as II any great
progress had been made; but the work
under the Weeden estate on Benefit
street where the men are at present bor-
ing. shows advancement.
The work at this end has proceeded
with such strides that the men now find
II difficult TO work with natural light.
This morning work was started digging
a manhole. and by early next week this
end will be supplied with electric light;
and with this added facility the progress
for the next week or more will be even
more noticeable.
The digging at this end is OF different
nature from that at the eastern terminus
and by arching the surface the overhead
crust is kept intact. Within the next
week the probability is that rock will be
struck mi this section, and then the drill
ing and blasting will constantly remind
the residents of that section that the tun-
mel is playing havoc with the hill.
The eastern end at the Seekonk river
has quite different aspect from the west
shovel that was started last Tuesday the
advancement is much more apparent.
The shovel. which is built on similar
lines to the ordinary mud digger used in
the harbor. scoops up the load from the
hill side. and empties in into the waiting
dump cars. which by horse power are
taken along temporary tracks 10 the
shore Of the river, where they are unload
ed
The digging here Is I'm soft sand and
the ponderous machine finds no difficulty
i'm cutting away the bank. II is expected
however. that within the next 400 feet, the
ledge which is so well known to the real
estate owners OF that section will offer a
serious impediment to the rapid advance
now being made
The new work is being pushed with as
much haste as the land work; and the
stakes marking the course OF the bridge
are now standing prominently from the
water and giving the interested observer
the desired information as 10 where the
bridge will start and just what part OF
the river It will traverse.
The frequent shrill whistle and the
constant putting Of the pile driver In mid
stream, awaken this neighborhood 10 the
fact that before long the wheels OF time
will have changed the unsightly dump
