tue Dotrd 10 choose a president, no action towards the election of a sue
 cessor can be taken for several l months, when a committee of the | trustees will be appointed to make a l renoqnination to the board. In 1899 at 1 the beginning of Miss Hazards ad-
 ninistration the assets of the college
 were $317,725. and the present endow-
 ment is more than a million.
 Judge Brown Of the superior court
 has dissolved the preliminary injunc-
 ton restra ming Michael Cavanaugh
 from proceeding with the rebuilding of l the Pawcatuck street railroad from | the Pleasant View junction to Watch
 Hill. and the work will probably now
 go forward without serious opposition. | The road Is now practically complet- 1 cd to the junction. and some of the Watch Hill residents objected to far ther work on the road until the close of the summer season, or until Sep tenber 20.
 At the monthly meeting of the West erly town council three weeks ago. J. Frank Champlin, A. L. Dickinson, Mrs. Burnet and Judge John w. Sweeney, representing Watch Hill parties, made verbal protest against the work and demanded that it be stopped forth with, as it was causing frretrievable damage to Watch Hill interests The council the next day made personal inspection of the work and held a spe- cia1 meeting that evening and gave further hearing in the nhatter. The council ordered the work to proceed as far as Pleasant View junction, but to not go beyond without special per- mission of the council
 Subsequently there was a resolution of protest adopted by the Westerly fire district and a sisned protest from many merchants of Westerly, asking that the work be deferred until the end of the season. The town council held special meeting last Saturday night to coinsider these protests. It developed at this meeting that a pre- liminary injunction had been served on the contra ctOr, restraining him from doing any more work under the contract The council then wisely took no action as the subject matter had been taken into court. The hear ing was set down fo1 Monday in the superior court a Providence and con ttnued to Wednesday, when Judge Brown dissolved the injunction, certain restrictions as to keeping the road clear being agreed upon by the legal representatives of the complainant Judge John w. Sweeney and Albert B. Crafts, and by the representatives of the contractors and the trolley com pany, Judge Edward NJ Burke and Attorney Bliss of Providence.
 The work will be carried on with the least possible inconvenience to the public and be completed as rapidly as possible, provided, of course, permis- sion is now granted by the Westerly town council.
