statement:
Il wouId like TO state very positively
that am not a candidate for the Demo

chise granted to the Rhode Island Com
pany. and said that every foot of track

easy grade street has been drawn, with
special reference TO the convenience OF the
street railway traffic. The Rhode Island
Company should be required to bear q
just portion OF the expense OF building

Mr.. Mccarthy thought that If a tunnel
was constructed the Rhode Island Com
pany would utilize II for the carrying OF
freights and mails. In his opinion, the
Rhode Island Company was back OF the
easy grade highway scheme and expected
TO have IL built at the expense OF the pub
lie by eXerting the usual political influ-
ence by which II acquires what II wants.
AS the Rhode Island Company Is the mo

Milk walter o. Scotts office that have
not been called for by the dealers who
made application for them. They include
l59 for stores and "a for milk wagons.
Inspector Scott regards this as a very
serious matter. as the law requires that
they be hung In conspicuous places where
the milk is sold
He intends TO request the captains OF
the various police stations 10 have their
men go TO these stores and notify the
owners 10 get their licenses as soon as
possible or to stop selling milk.
II there are then any tardy ones, he
will recommend 10 the aldermen that
their licenses be revoked.
This is the first year that the owners OF
soda fountains where milk is sold by the
glass have been compelled 10 secure milk
licenses; but the license is required only
for the sale OF milk not mixed with any
syrup OF soda.
Inspector Scott has had no trouble with
any OF the milk dealers lately, and now
has no reason TO expect any, as all the
dealers have promised to comply with
the law regarding the handling and sale
