When II comes to procrastina-
stion, shifting of responsibility and
failure to get results, the city hall
ut the present time has about
reached the limit.
Take the case of citizen living
on the North Side, just reported
to The Press. He has a house on
the rear of a corner lot fronting on
Indiana avenue. A sewer is being
built in the alley, which was form
erly private property, the right of
the city to occupy the alley being
secured by easement from the
abutting property owners.
In forcing the sewer through the
alley the contractor caved in a
cesspool belonging to this property
owner, who having a modern
home and no other provisions for
caring for the sanitary needs of
his family, appeared at the city hall
to enter protest and demand that
the cesspool be repaired and made
serviceable until such time as the
sewer is completed.
Before going to the city hall the
matter was taken up twice with
the contractor, who refused to do
anything Two visits were then
made to the board of public works
which referred the inquirer to the
engineers office. An inspector was
sent out by the engineer and after
three or four visits to the office
the caller was referred to the
health department.
Here another inspector was Gis
Spatched to the scene and after
two or three trips the matter was
shifted over to the crematory de
partment. An inspection by the
crematory department and est
mate of SIS for cleaning out the
cesspool followed, but no remedy
was held forth for the repair OF
the trouble.
Then there was an appeal to the
corporation counseis office, with
the same results. Finally the mat
ter was taken up with the mayor
who recommended that the prop
erty owner repair the damaged
cesspool at his own expense ant
ff1e his bill with the city so that
it can be taken up with the con
Tractor later.
EAfter IS visits to the city hal
the eesspool is still without repair
as all of the officials of the city
seem unable to make one obstinate

The action Of the Massachusetts, rail-

Trunks established connections with the
west, by the wishes Of residents along
the line Of the proposed extension aud
By the attitude Of the state OF Rhode

charter for such portion Of the Palmer
Providence route as will pass over Rhode
Island territory. If the Grand Trunk is
sincere In its desire to establish an
eastern terminus at Providence 1t now
has die right to go ahead with the pro-
iect, while on the other hand, If IT
simply wishes to trnde with the New
Haven system for certain traffic eonces-
sions, It is IN better position to DO
so than ever before The opinion is
widespread however, that the Grand
Trunk really intends to construct the
Palmer Providence branch for the pur-
pose Of increasing It's western freight
traffic. and this strengthens the belief
that the New Haven system, as d count
