$362, 900.
''The length of road requiring repairs
amounted to 3.S9 miles, affecting 21S

Wooden Mills Go Under

Woonsocket r. l., April 29.--Fear of the
effect of proposed tariff changes is given
by officials of the Nasonville Woollen
mills at Nasonville for voluntary receiv-

day. The mills manufacture worsted
goods and employ 125 hands.
Augustin ri. Eddy, president of the
company, made the following statement;
"On account of the proposed tariff
changes we fear that the business cannot
be run with any profitable results and a
petition for dissolution has been fled. At
the beginning of the present year we
had a surplus of s6s, 507. How much of
that will remain to be divided depends
entirely ON the success of the liquida-

Boston Takes Action

Boston, April 29.-In accordance with a
request of Governor Foss, expressed in a
special message, both branches of the
legislature today adopted a resolution me-
morializing Congress 'in support of the
principle of protective reduction through
reciprocity in all tariff making"
The resolution declares:
THAT the policy OF opening the mar
kets of the United States to the unre-
stricted competition of the rest of the
world advocated by the President In his
message and the pending BILL which Is
a long step toward the complete estab-
ishment of that policy, appears TO the
Legislature to be in direct contravention
of the wishes of the voters of the United
States and especially of this common
wealth as expressed in the last cleo
ton
1t is urged that any tariff legislation
should be based upon the protective prin-
ciple; that a tariff commission of dis
Interested experts be re-established; that
reasonable opportunity be given those in
terested to be heard before final action
be taken.
