f Your Telephone Never Sleeps The New York, New Haven and rd company made an application to the Rhode Island public utilities commission for permission to extend the siding of the Westerly Lumber company across Oak street to other property of the lumber company. <Commissi appeare: Wasterlyu?éwn council at the regular mesting held Monday night with a plan of the proposed extemsion which he explained in detail. He said that b fin“uoom :n pirit of cour- to act, still through a s; - tesy and fairness the commission puts the matter up to the council and will abide by its deeision. The commis- sion asks for an expression of the council. The purpose of the extension was to give the Westerly Lumber company opportunity to extend busi- ness. He said that if cars were to be operated frequently at this proposed grade crossing it would be dangerous, and’ so declared by the commission. But as cars would not be operated there more than two or three times week, and at such times the crossing would be carefully protected by flag- % = men, the danger feature was removed. 5 ‘While he did not tavor grade crossings along the main line, he recommended that this particular applid€tion be granted, as its object was to increase the business of a local industry.

No, 1. held Mr. Carmichael said he did not con- sider a crossing at that place for the purpose spetified was dangerous, and was an incentive to increase business, and it was good policy for a town to have business increase. If somecne else wanted a like crossing for a like | purpose it was good husiness policy not fo-turn down the proposition. He said it was not essential for the council to take action at this session, and suz- gested that the councilmen investigate the situation. President Flynn informed Mr. Car- michael that the councilmen would visit the location immediately after the meeting adjourned, which :hey did. It was decided to grant the application, under certain restrictions, as to up- keep of the highway, as presented by the highway commisston, The application of Louis Deutssh Sor & liquor license for 102 Canal street was read, the time for public notice having expired. The applicant said that if granted the license the law would be strictly observed.. Protest was recelved from Abraham Liebovitz and Philip Goldberg, claiming that they were the ownérs of the greater part of the land within 200 feet of the specification. No plat accompanied the protest. The application was denied. President Flynn stated that Frank W. Coy had called his attention to the broken down fence that surmounts the retaining wall between town property and property of Mr. Coy in Uhion street which skirts the place desig- nated as a public hitching place for horses, and in front of the old town hall, now utilized as a manual train- ing school and a part of the public school system. The fence was in a disgraceful condition and ought to be replaced by a new one, said President Flynn, and he believed this ought to be done hy the owner of the retaining wall. If the town council decides that the retaining wall is owned by Mr. Coy that gentleman Is ready to build 2 new fence, but if the wall is the property of the town the work ought to be done and at the expense of the town.

Louis Deutsch, who applied for a ligior license in a building which he owns at 102 Canal street, was denied 2 license because of the objection of two men, unfriendly to Deutsch, who happen to own the greater part of the land within 200 feet of the location specified in the application. This same place had been previously occupied as & saloon, the proprietor of which has asked for a transfer of license to a lo- cation directly opposite. When Deutsch ascertained that his premises were to l be vacated he applied for the license, and it would probably have been granted but for the nature of the pro- test.
