NO, indeed came as in one. voice
from the bed, where sat three damsels
in a row.
The Little Lady nodded her approval
at the prompt reply and continued,
sHallowe'en is like everything else.
You can extract all the fun o want
from it, II you are to, or you can
sit by with nose turned skyward and
think to yourself that all the world Is
foolish but yourself. But o won't

bowl, water heater and pitcher are the
latest and most sanitary toilet sets for

TWO LAVAT0RY PLANS
UNDER CONSIDERATION

Chairman J. William Moore OF the city
council committee on railroads. Is OBJ
tanning information as to what other
cities are doing in providing conveniences
in trolley centres like Exchange place.
Councilman Moore said yesterday that
he favored the adoption of one of two
plans for lavatories, and without going
into details he advocated location as
near Westminster street as practicable.
Speaking as citizen, he did not under
stand that a building of good design would
dlsfigure Exchange place, and he was
certain that thousands of people would
appreciate the accommodations afforded
by. II.
Mr.. Moore regards the station as a de-
srable feature Of the general plan for
the improvement of Exchange place as a
centre OF transportation, and the COM
mittee on railroads therefore is expected
I'm include IL in the report to be submitted
TO the city council on the loop plan for
dIverting out-of-town cars from Mathew
son. Dorrance and weybosset streets.
Chairman Moore said that so far as he
knew. the Rhode Island company would do
whatever the city wanted, and he could
see no reason for not having good archl-
lecture in building designed for a COM
bination OF lavatory and waiting room
The underground combination near
Francis street, referred to by Vice Presl-
dent Buckland. probably would cost the
city about $4,000 unless the Rhode Is
land company was willing TO contribute
toward the expense OF construction.
The more costly OF the two plans SUBJ
mitted by tho Rhode Island company
shows building costing $4,000. Space
ie reserved for a lavatory 10 be equipped
by the city, which Is put 10 no expense
except for plumbing. The other plan pro-
vides for a sidewalk shelter on the north
erly side of Exchange place at Francis
street, TO be open on all sides except dur
ing the winter The lavatory is to be
underground and 20 be accessible from tho
shelter
