NO QUESTION ABOUT
WHATJHEY WANT
MASS MEETING IN INTEREST OF
TROVIDENCE PAVE.
Now and Determined Effort Will Be
Made to Get a Pavo nfe tho Earl
iest Possible Moment Petition Al
xeady in Circulation Which Will
Receive, It Is Claimed, the Signa
tures of rt Big Majority of tho
Property Holders Some Expres
sions by Leading North End Men.
Resolved, That I'rovldcneo roiil nnd
North Mnlu avenuo to the city lino ought
to bo paved.
UpmiKod. That l'ro Idenco rood ana
North Main avcuuo to the city lino can bo
pa cd.
Ilcsohod, That Provldcnco road and
North Main menue to tho city lino shall
be paved.
These resolutions were unanimously
adopted nt n mass meeting of ProvU
dence property holders In Company It
armory last night. They bepenk the
sentiment which prevailed at the meet
ing and which permeates the whole
North F.nd.
The meeting was attended by the
very best men of that portion of tho
city and was a very business-like af
fair. It was called, primarily, to de
cide whether or not another nnd deter
mined effort should bo Immediately
made to get a pave and to select the
kind of pavo to be laid, if it was de
cided to give the project a fresh start.
C. II. Von Storch, chairman and A.
A. Vosburg, secretary, briefly and for
mally stated the purpose of the meet
ing nnd that was all there was to It.
No one even thought of w listing time
on a motion to proceed with tho pav
ing. SIGNING THE PETITION.
A petition to bo presented to councils
asking for the pave and Indicating the
choice of the petitioners ns to the kind
of pae wanted wns on the chairman's
desk and while efforts were being made
to talk the few klckeis Into line, tho
ptoperty holders present, whoso places
aio on the line of the proposed Im
provement, were going up on their
turn and signing for brick pavement.
A letter from Colonel George S.in
deison regretting his Inability to bo
present and expressing bin earnest
sympathy with the movement, evoked
from Major Fish some caustic com
ments on the absence from the meet
ing of the North F.nd councllmcn, Mr.
Finn, of the Second ward, being tho
only one present.
The call for tho meeting. Major Fish
said, was general to the taxpajers nt
the North End. Other questions beside
that ot paing were to bo discussed
nnd tho councilmen should bo present
that they nnd their constituents might
exchange ideas. The people of the
North End, he continued, propose to
keep an eye on the city olllcers; they
will be encouraged In evety laudable
elfoit, but no delinquencies will be tol
erated, ABOUT WIDTH OF STREET.
There was some discussion on the
question of widening and nan owing
dllferent poitlons of tho street. ex
Postmaster Frank M. Vnndllng making
a lengthy ppeech against any varia
tion fiom the present lines, evrepl to
save shade trees. He was particularly
opposed to narrowing "the square."
When the corners are paved ho said It
will be a big boom to propeity there
abouts. Real estate on and adjacent
to tho squni" sold last year for 30 per
cent, of what was asked for It five
years ago. The condition of the stiects
was to blame for this, he said.
Touching upon the opposition to the
pavo eunced by those who contend
that a sewer should first be construct
ed, Mi. Vandllng called attention to
the fact that no sewer can bo built
under the recent ruling of court un
less tho city contributes two-thirds of
the total cost, and the city airesent
can not contribute a cent, owing to the
fnct that It already taxes the full limit
of thirteen mills for curtent expenses.
The sewer being an Imposslbllty, It Is
useless, he argued, to think of it In
connection with the pae. The pae
can be secuied and will be a great Im
plement. The course of wisdom would
be to make the best of It and the con
stiuctlon of the pave would be doing
that.
John Hawks, speaking for himself
nnd some of his Bull's Head neighbors,
said they were opposed to surface 1m
piovements until the sewer wns built,
Mr. Finn, after lemlndlng Mr. Hawhs
that the sewer was an Impossibility
unless the property holders would pay
tho whole expense, asked Mr. Hawits
If he and those he represented would
be willing to pay for the whole co it
of the sewer. Mr. Hawks did not think
the people he represented would be
willing to wnlve the benefit given them
by tho law. "The fact of the matter,"
said Mr. Finn, "Is that you don't want
either the pave or the sewer."
MR." JORDAN'S STATEMENT.
J. J. Jordan said ho would be wilting
to pay the full cost of a sewer In front
of his place if by that means he could
get a pave. Mr. Vosburg, Major Fish
nnd a number of otheis signified their
willingness to do likewise.
Mr. Vandllng said this was all use
less, as they could not build tho sewer
even if they would be willing to pay tho
full cost. The law does' not permit it.
Ho advised dropping the sower nnd
getting down to the simple question of
pave.
John Mitchell, ot Itockwell place, an
nounced nt this Juncture that tho peo
ple dow n his w ay had signed for a pave
when the petition was previously In
ch dilation, but now they are deter
mined not to nlgn tho new petition un
til a sower Is assured. His remarks
occasioned no comment.
A committee consisting of W. B.
Christmas, George Benedict nnd J. J.
Jordan was appointed to circulate the
petition. It was also urranged that
Mulley's store was to bo tho repository
of tho petition when the committee did
not have It In hand.
Theie ls no question, tho pavo boom
ers say, but that a big majority of
property holders will blgn tho petition
and that It will be unanimous for brick.
