PROSPECT HILL
Gets NEW LINE
TO PROVIDENCE

The Lincoln town council yesterday
afternoon unanimously granted the pc
tition OF the Rhode Island company
for permission to connect the Smith
field avenue line of electrics with the
Lonsdale avenue line in order to give
the residents OF Prospect Hill direct
route to Providence came up for con-
sideration. The petition Of the COM
pany was presented at the solicitation
OF the Prospect Hill patrons month
ago and continued by the council
General Manager Potter, Attorney
Smith and Engineer Smart of the
Rhode Island company were present
in the interest OF the petition, which
was opposed by a counter petition
signed by 81 residents Of Sayiesville
represented by Attorney stephen O..
Edwards of Providence, counsel for
Frank A. Sayles of the Sayles bleach
cry.
Attorney Edwards admitted that Mr..
Sayles was opposed TO the granting
of the petition. He stated that the
principal objection 10 the petition was
the probable mutilating OF beautiful
shade trees In that section and also
the danger TO public travel.
Attorney Fitzgerald, who represent
ed the Prospect Hill Improvement So
ciety, waxed warm in his argument
for the granting of the petition. He
thought that the action Of Mr.. Sayles
in ignoring the protests in the city
OF Pawtucket against the Moshassaek
Valley railroad proposition several
years ago were not consistent with his
desire TO regard the safety OF the pub
lie In the matter before the meeting.
He said most OF the signatures against
the petition were those OF parties en-
ployed In the Sayles bleacheries, and
IL was not unreasonable to suppose
that they were unduly influenced.
Former Councilman j. ]. Manning,
Highway Commissioner Philip Greene,
Judge Fitzsimmons and others spoke
in favor OF the petition OF the Rhode
Island company.

MALE PRINCIPAL
WANTED BY MAPLEVILLE

A male principal is wanted in the vii
lage OF Mapleville. according to a petition
from the people OF the village, filed yes
terday with the school committee OF Bur
rillville. at It's monthly meeting, which
was held at the town clerks office. AS a
result the election OF teachers for the en-
suing year was deferred until Friday
evening, when a special meeting for this
purpose will be held.
The petition was headed by the Coronet
worsted company. of which Joseph II
Fletcher is proprietor, and bore nearly
300 signatures. The reason, for the peti-
ton is because OF the fact that the school
has grown so large within the past few
years that, in the opinion OF the petition
ers. a woman principal cannot manage the
pupils and the school as well as male
principal.
The petition was presented by John III.
Lloyd. superintendent OF the Coronet
Worsted company. Miss Grace A. A. Cum
ningham IS at present principal OF the
school, which has between 175 and a0
scholars.
The salary of the principal of the Ma
plevile school, which IL four-room
building. is 500 a year. and Superintend-
ent Leroy G.. Staples told the committee
that in his opinion the salary would have
TO be increased II a male principal were
engaged.
