Acting under instructions from the
city council the aldermanic police com
mittee is inquiring into the need of a
padded cell at police headquarters. Ever |
since the station was established in its /
present quarters the officers have usually !
found themselves in quandry whenever
one of their prisoners has manifested
a disposition to do himself bodily injury
in the ordinary iron banded cells. The
matter came to head yesterday when
prisoner said to be suffering with
delirium threatened to kill himself. I
Chief Sinclair communicated with the
poor department and the city physician,
who was also summoned, decided that
the man could remain no longer in cell.
He was removed to the hospital. The
police committee will procure estimates
on the cost of suitable padded ceH and
later submit them to the council.
The street lighting line, which extend
ed along Enterprise alley, is to be thor
oughly Iemodeled within the next two
weeks. At the Consolidated Lighting
Co.'S offices to-day, plans were drafted
for changing the location of the line
from the land owned by the Montpelier
& Wells River railroad to the boundary
of the city line extending along the
roadway. Three new lights are to be !,
strung through the alley. One is to be
located at the rear end of city hall,
another is to be placed at the alley
entrance to Reynolds & Sons store, and
a third is to be located in the rear of
the Gordon block. Better lighting in the
alley is the outcome of increased travel
