WHEN you want to put your busi- ness before the public, there is no me- dium better than through the advertis- ing columns of The Bulletin. Clark. The superior court for Washington county, Judge Stearns,' convened in special session in Westerly Monday, for the trial of local cases. The first case assigned. for trial was the appeal from probate in which Manley T. Bar- ber et al. contest the will of Potter Barber. A representative of Attorney Edwards of Providence stated that Mr. Edwards was called into this case last week, that he was now engaged in the superior court at Providence, could not therefore be in Westerly, and asked that the case be continued. Attorney Cushing of Providence, of counsel for _appellees, obpected to a continuance, as there was no objec- tion at the time of assignment that it was the first case to be tried at the Westerly session. He, oo, had a case in the superior court#for Providence, but had arranged to have this case tried as assigned. All the witnesses for appellees had been summoned and he did not think that the expense of the case should be unnecessarily in- creased, Judge Stearns granted a continu- ance and ordered that all expense in- curred by counsel for appellees be paid by appellants hefore trial at the mext session of the court. The case of J. Irving Maxson against William H. Barker, upen motion of Judge John W. Sweeney, was default- €d by reason of non-appearance. This is an action to recover $725.68, a bal- ance due for lumber and building material furnished. Judgment was given for recovery of full amount. The Qquestion of the charges of the trustee will be heard later. After listening to arguments by Attorney Barney, representing the town of Westerly, and Attorney Swee- ney, representing Courtland P. Chap- man, the court decided that the two cases by the same plaintiff against the town should be tried jointly. The following jurors were selected to try the Chapman case: Augustus E. Herrick, Thomas Holswortp, Irving P. Arngld, Albert W. Hazard, Martin Haggerty of North Kingstown; Thom- as Rodman, Charles A. Woods and William A. Leslie, South Kingstown Isaac C. Ellis of Richmond; Wilfred B. Congdon, Narragansett; Edward A, Gordon and Moses H. Main, of Hop- kinton. Judge Sweeney, counsel f& Mr. Chapman, stated to the jury that there All WhHo Would Enjoy good health, with its blessings, must un- derstand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy- ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dis- pensed with to advantage, but under or- dinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invalu- able if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it. Consequently, the Company’s Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna gives genetal satisfaction. To get na beneficial effects buy the genuine, manfifactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

FL NN, H.nufMunr and Builder, 108 Main Strest, Westerly, Case of Maxson vs. B&ber——Chapmmfia Tried Jointly—Favorable Reports from -Noyes M. !, I o | Wi fter This EBeing ‘were two dlltlnct cases- to be consid- «red, one for trespass brought against James . Pendleton as town treasurer and the other was in the nature of an Aappeal from the action of the Wester- dy town \council. Karly in 1907 ti council voted to improve the al Hill road, and made contract with the T. H. Gill company to do gver $20,000 avorth of work. This work was completed before the town council had authorized the lay- out in accordance with law. A the contractor had completed work and the new highway was in use, the town council ordered a layout, as sub- stitute for the former illegal- action, and appointed a committee composed of James A. Welch, John T, Edmond and Albert Crandall, as dlu}nterested persons, with authorlty to lay out_the highway and assess the damages. committee was appointed in November, 1908, and in April. 1909, reported and the report was opposed by the town council. The committee could not «come to an agreement. with Mr, Chap- dnan. The council gave hearing on the report and fixed Mr. Chapman’s dam- age at $275, whereupon ‘appeal was taken to the superior court. Claim is made that more land was taken than was necessary, that Mr. Lrandall was a member of a former town council that had acted in this matter, and was therefore not a dis- dnterested person; tht the -committee did not make the layout for the public &ood and with as little damage to property as possible; that the com- imittee exercised no judicial judgment and that the report was simply an £cho of the Westerly town council. At the suggestion of /Attorney Bar- ney, who is being assisted by Attor- ney Kingsley, court took a recess to give the judge and jury, accompanied by counsel for both sides, opportunity .to visit the premises under considera- tion. The party was taken in a spe- cial trolley car to the Chapman prop- erty on the Watch Hill road. Court reconvened at 2 o'clock and Courtland P. Chapman testifiedsthat he was born in Westerly sixty-seven years ago and resided here ever since. 7The land in question had been in the Chapman family .for one hundred years. He said work was done on the Watch Hill road in summer of 1907. In the first piece of land taken he had maintained with a stone wall which was to the eastward of present wall. The original wall, or rathér the Jarge stones of it, were taken to the stone crusher and used for macadam- dzing the road, and smaller ones were wsed in the rebuilt wall. Gravel was taken out of the hill below that was ased for filling. The bottom stones of the original wall are still in place. A large tree was cut down from his property while the work on the high- way was in progress. On the first #tretch of land that was taken the stown built a road on portions of it. That was pasturage land, but he dare not use it that summer on account of the poor wall and was a financial loser of about $75. The tree cut down ‘was valued at $5. The second stretch of land taken was also for the road;, a filling was taken from, this piece of Ahis land, and there is now an open -8ap in the wall that was not, there Dbefore the work was commenced. The third portion of the land taken was utilized by the electric road changes and the stone wall removed. Now there are trolley and telephbne poles on the premises, T. H. Gill had the contract for the work, which was done ainder the supervision of Thomas H. McKenzie, ‘civil engineer, and Tristam D. Babcock, president of the town council at that time. The town has @paid no claim for damages. Courtland Palmer Chapman, son of the former witness, testified in corrob- oration of the testimony of his father relative to the removal of stone walls and former boundary line, and the use of gravel for filling purposes. He said there were no telephone poles on his father’s property before the road was | widened. John Hooper Chapman, another son | of the plaintiff, testified in corrobora- | tion of the evidenee of his father and Jbrother, principally in regard to re- moval of walls and changing of bound- ary line, Everett E. Whipple, town clerk of Westerly, read from the records of the town council, November 4, 1907, and showed $252.82 ordered.paid to T. H. Gill, provided claims be paid or sat- dsfied, and furnish a bond of $500 to indemnify the town for damages. The vecord was where the Gill contract was accepted. At the conclusion of the contract Mr. Chapman filed a claim for damages, but no vote was taken ordering the payment of that claim. The records also showed that the Pawcatuck street railway was to pay $3,000" for the privilege of change in the layout of the road, and did pay dthat sum, which was used in the pay- ment of the contract for improving the ‘Watch Hill road. The record was also read showing the report of the com- fmittee on the layout of the road, but ano plot was submitted. John Bristow of Narragansett, a contractor and road bullder, was the next witness. He had made a special | wisit to the Chapman property and ‘made examination. The knoll referred to was of marl, valued at 5 cents a cubic yard. The wall was not a well sbarred stone wall and not high enough for a farmer’s stone wall. Witness was an_unsusccessful bidder for the ‘Watch Hill road work, and put in bid for removal and rebuilding of the wall, the figures he could not recall, but they were possibly in possession of Engineer McKenzie. The cost of build- Ang an ordinary stone wall was from $2 to 33 a rod. The cost of shoveling a load of dirt into a cart is 20 cents, the carting being extra. The wall at the Chapman vplace was deficient in dot having grade line. Elmer A. Hensen, a resident of ‘Ston- ington, had been civil engineer for sixteen years, and had figured the <uts and fllls in connection with the swvork. There were 119 4-10 rods of -walls removed and had an experience of thirty years in that ling, his father ‘being a contractor. It would cost $2.10 @ rod for a stone wall with stone fur- nished. He estimated that 2,290 yards were taken from theé Chapman knoll. WAt the point where the largest fill was ‘made, it would require a wall that <ould cost $1 a foot and was 200 feet dn length, to retain the fill on the high- way. Witness had experience in buy- ing and eelling filling and he fixed the value at ten to fiftéen cents. Fifty- three rods of stone wall had been re- moved. Witness testified in detail of ithe earth and wall removed at the several sections of the road and the estimated cost. The present wall, he paid, was not a well balanced wall. At 4.30 court adjourned to 9.30 Tues- day morning.
