PAWTUXET VALLEY
Record Breaking Number Of
Petitions Filled
Jurors Drawn and Much Routine
Work Done

The semi-monthly session OF the War
wick town council. held at the town
hall yesterday was record-breaking ses-
sion. so far as the reception OF petitions
is concerned. The question of the re-
moval of Is street lights from the Rocky
Hill district was again brought up
through the presentation OF petitions
signed by lO6 taxpayers OF the district af-
fected. and the vigorous protest or the
Rocky IIill grange, II. OF H., which
passed a vote at it's last meeting, June 20,
condemning the action OF the town coun-
Gil and demanding equal rigqhts In the
matter of lights with other sections of
the town.
The petition from the resident tax
payers was as follows:
"The undersigned residents and tax
payers in and about Rocky Hin section
OF this town, representing taxable prop
erty assessed at about $4,000. having
been informed that IL is the intention of
your honorable body 10 remove certain
of the street lights now installed in this
section OF the town, do hereby respect
fully register our most emphatic protest
against such action. There would seem
to be neither logic nor fairness I'm deprfv-
ing these taxpayers OF a fair shore or
what they are compelled % pay for. sim
ply because they happen 20 live In what
is called an agricultural community.
AT no time since the installation OF
the town lights have we been favored
with anything ike an equitable proper
ton OF the lamps, as compared with
other parts OF the town. II farmers
money is 10 be received as taxes farmers
should get the same consideration that
other taxpayers do"
The matter was disposed OF for the pres
ent by the passage OF the following vote
THAT a committee of ell the mem
bers OF this council be and is hereby
appointed 20 investigate the matter OF
changing the position OF a number OF
electric lights at Rocky Hill and report
at the next regular meeting"
JURORS DRAWN
The much discussed question, absence
OF watering carts throughout the town
and the subsequent annoyance to prop
erty holders, was called TO the attention
OF the council. through communication
from a resident OF Greenwood. asking
that the highway In that section OF the
town be given needed attention.
