Already over l,50O has been spent in overhauling No. l truck. Fire headquarters is to be repaired and improved.

 A petition from some sixty residents of the north end asked that an electric light be placed on every pole on Provi- denee street from Main to Marshall street.
 In addition to discussing briefly the water situation and acting upon the resignation of Alderman Carroll, an account of which also appears else where in this issue, the council tran sacted considerable routine business between 750 and 1915 o'clock.
 All Boiled Up
 When the meeting was called to or der all members were present except Aldermen Delisle and Carroll. There were no vacant chairs outside the al- dermanic rail. The council chamber was resplendant in new paint and var nish. Even the broken seats in the chairs inside and outside the rail had been repaired. From the ceiling hung three new electric lights. Gone was the old dingy legislative hall and in it's place appeared q room neatly tinted in light blue. The chairs, desks and other furniture had been vanished, and the dilapidated chairs had been repaired. The city property committee had done a complete and much appre- ciated job.

RESIGNS FROM THE
 COMMON COUNCIL
Alderman Carroll, Democrat, Ward 4, Gives Pressure of
 Business As Reason
Served Several Times--Vaeaney To
 Be Filled April

Willis B. Carroll. democratic alder man from Ward Four, rendered his resignation to the common council, Tuesday evening. No reason was given for his wish to withdraw as member of the city's legislative body in the short written communication to the mayor and members of the council.
 Alderman Ames said that he was sorry that the resignation had been presented as he did not like to lose Mr. Carol from the council. Doubt less he has thought the matter over" said Alderman Ames. land as he wants to resign I move that the re- signation be accepted It was so voted.
 The matter of filling the vacancy was brought up. Frederick Dumas, superintendent of streets, arose and stated to the council that as chairman of the democratic city committee the resignation of Mir Carroll came as a surprise. He said that the commit tee would like time to consider a can didate for the office and asked that the matter of filling the vacancy be left to the meeting in April. This was done by the council,
 Can Not Afford The Time Alderman Carroll was asked if he Ihad any reason to give as to why he presented his resignation. He told la Patriot representative, "Wednesday morning, that he resigned because he could not afford the time from hls business to attend to the business of ! the city as it came to committees upon which he served, and that he could not often attend the meetings of the council. This being so he felt that | it was his duty to resign. Pressure of business" was the only reason as signed by Mir. Carroll for his action SO soon after the biennial city eiec- ton.
 Mir. Carroll has been a familiar flg- ure on the democratic side of the council chamber. His first election was to fill out the unexpired term Of Edward w. Mullan when Mir. Mullan resigned from the council. This was under mayor Marcy. His second eiec- | tion was to fill out the unexpired term of Simeon LaRose, who resigned be- cause he joined the police force.
 MT. Carroll was a candidate for alderman-at-large against John E. Byrne. republican. and was defeated. This kept him out of the council Tor while but he was subsequently, elect ed again and has served the city since. MT. Carroll served as a mem Der of the highway committee when the late John C. Johnson was chair man of that committee, and has serv- ed on the fire committee. city proper ty committee and ordinance commit ! tee.

the motion the mayor can seek advice from whoever he wishes and If there was a corporation counsel he would, out of courtesy have to be asked to act with the mayor. He said that with out corporation counsel the mayor and committee can work with free hand and he thought that the appoint ment of a corporation council could be taken up a month later.
 Alderman Dean said that while the council was still on the water question he wished to bring before the council circular letter urging the voters to vote "Yes.' a copy of which he held in his hand. He said that the letter in- inmates that the mayor and a majority of the council did not state the facts. did not tell the truth, and meant to mislead the voters. q don't think that should be put over on us" said Mir. Dean. He thought that the newspa- pers should come out and state the l facts.
 If Weighed Found Wanting
 The mayor said that if the letter stood for the principles of any man or group of men and K to be taken as ] their standard of truth and justice he i thought, "ff they were weighed they would be found wanting"
 Alderman Ames arose Co speak on | tho question and there was laughter 1 in the council chamber. Alderman l Ameg said. q do not think this Is any 1 laughing matterH He stated that the letter puts the council in false and I bad light and. although unsigned. 'gives t the lie"
 "This is the governing body of the city and when we are given the lie 10 is n serious matter. he said. He said l Chat the figures used in the letter were given out by the water commissioners themselves. While he realized ono side and the other under such circum- stances, would do things to bolster up the one side or the other, he sad "Whoever is responsible Tor passing the lie to the mayor and council should apologize"
 Scores The Patriot
 Alderman Dubois then took up ths article appearing in The Putnam Pas triotn and criticized that newspaper for stating that the estimated cost of two standpipes was $106,000 with an aditional estimated cost Of SlZOoV TOT excavation, erection and building foundations. He said it made it look as if there was but little difference in the cost of the plans. Where did they get those figures. I'd like to knowI They are misleading" he said.
 It was voted to appoint the com mittee to act with the mayor in mak- i ing the legal investigation, and the water question was relegated to the background and the regular meeting proceeded to its close.
