ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF PAWTUCKET
or of any action by either body involving the expenditure of money; can fill vacancies in subordinate offices, and his appointees shall remain in office until the position “shall be filled by the body having the power of election or appointment.” He likewise has the power of nominating the chief of police and the police constables, subject to the confirmation of the board of aldermen, and can suspend such officers for cause. The board of aldermen has control of the police and in general is a semi-executive body; all licenses and permits are subject to its grant, and it also is empowered to abate taxes or assessments. The common council and the board of aldermen together constitute the city council, and by concurrent action they pass ordinances, levy and collect taxes, appropriate money, care for the city property and determine what officers are necessary to carry on the municipal business. In joint convention the two bodies elect each year a city clerk, a city treasurer, who is also a collector of taxes, a judge of probate, an overseer of the poor, a city auditor, an inspector of plumbing, an inspector of buildings and other officers, as well as a board of street, water and sewer commissioners, consisting of three members. The population of Central Falls in 1895 was 15,828, and the valuation $8,531,000, on which the tax rate was $1.50 per $100. The city is provided with a good system of sewers built several years ago, which drain a large part of the territory on the east and empty into the Blackstone river. The western part of the territory is not provided with sewers, but the city owns a large area of land between Lonsdale Avenue and the Moshassuck River, purchased at an expense of $20,000, where it is intended to dispose of the sewerage of this section by natural sand filtration. A large trunk sewer has already been constructed here but has only been used for the drainage of surface water up to the present. A good supply of water has been obtained from the Pawtucket water works since they were put into operation in 1878. The Central Falls Fire District, and the city as its successor, owns the pipes and pays Pawtucket for the water, receiving in return from the users an income large enough to pay the cost of maintenance, provide for a sinking fund and pay interest on the water bonds that were issued to bear the expense of construction. In 1890, Alvin F. Jenks presented to Central Falls a little over four acres* of land between Broad and Washington Streets for a park to be known by his family name. Since then the area has been improved by the construction of paths, shelters, fountains and an elevated observatory of unique form, from the platform of which a magnificent view of the surrounding country is obtained. The surface of the park is very irregular. In its limits is a high ledge of rocks on which the observatory is seated. The charter of the ground is excellently adapted to the picturesque efforts that have been achieved. Up to the present about $50,000 has been spent in these improvements. Central Falls is well provided with public buildings. A fine brick high school, erected in 1888, adjoins Jenks Park, corner of Broad and Summit streets. There are eight other school buildings,—five wooden ones with four rooms each; three of brick, one with six rooms and the other two with eight rooms each. Two commodious fire stations, both brick structures, one on Broad and the other on Kendall Street, are fitted out with the best modern fire apparatus. The water supply is so excellent that although one fire engine is owned it is hardly ever used

After many years of waiting, I finally got the opportunity to do something involving food and drink from a vantage point high up in The Shard - official reigning champion for the 'most Mordor looking building in London awardâ (disclaimer: this competition does not exist). The event was another part of Rum Experience Week, organised by the rum ambassador Ian Burrell (thatâs him looking dapper in the hat), and was held at Campariâs headquarters on the 27th floor. Unfortunately, as it was night, and the lighting in the building was turned up something fierce, you couldnât really see out into the city too well (way too much in the way of reflections - turn the lights off pls thx). So no amazing cityscape views - just amazing rumâ¦views. Views of rum. Which is OK.
Anyway, I say this tasting was held in The Shard, but in reality, as a 'twitter tastingâ, the event was more or less held wherever people were 'listening inâ (is that the right term for following a hashtag?). Appleton Estate had been giving away in the month or so leading up to the event, and so people as far away as Sweden were getting involved as Appleton Estateâs senior blender, David Morrison, took listeners through four of Appletonâs main range (thatâs him in the black jumper near Ian / often holding the mic). In order, this range was The Appleton Signature Blend, The Appleton Rare Blend (12 year), and The Appleton 21. My personal preference? The 12. And at £25ish a bottle, by my whisky-calibrated price standards, that seems pretty resonable.
As you can also see in the pictures, some of the UKâs most promising bartenders showed up for a little competition involving cocktails made out of Appleton Estate. I canât remember who won but I do remember that the level of audience appreciation/enthusiasm was⦠worthy of the talent on display behind the bar. It was also great to hear the story of each cocktail. The Welsh guyâs cocktail was supposedly inspired by being mugged he once experienced?!...
More about the folks involved. David had flown all the way over from the Nassau Valley, Jamaica, to endure dark, grey English weather in the exchange for the chance to presumably educate English people about the joys of extremely strong rum - and share out some of Appletonâs 50 year Jamaica Independence bottling (of which I got to try a glass, fuuuuuuuuck me son). I am still a rum padawan, and likely will be for some time - but some mind expanding, palette expanding, waistline expanding discoveries have been made, and Iâll be sure to pay more attention to Appleton Estate and all the nice things that they seem to get up to on that bloody great sugarcane farm of theirs. Well done, guys!

Any day that involves a monkey is a good one in my book. :) Monkies run wild on the island, but this is Mojo, a pet of the owner. Mojo was taken in by the owner of the bar when Mojo's mother was killed, and has been with them ever since. We fed him some granola and have some interesting video of his antics.
