WHEN you want to put yeur busi- ness before the public, there is no me- dium better than through the adverti ing columns of The Bulletin. - The second day’s session of the su- perior court for Washington county, in special session at Westerly, with Judge Stearns presiding, and a jury in at- tendance, was engaged on Tuesday in he trial jointly of the two cases of Courtland P. Chapman brought against the town of Westerly to recover dam- ages for land taken in connection with the Watch Hill road improvement. The town council awarded Mr. Chapman $275, .which was _ rejected, and suit brought to recover damages of $2,000. Civil Engineer Hensen, who was on the witness sftand when the Monday session closed, was recalled. He tes- tified that he was 42 years of age and d been a student of civil engineering or thirty years. To hold a section of the fill in place on a n of the road, abutting the Chapman property, would require a wall one hundred feet long, six feet high and -which would cost $200. In other sections bank wall is necessary to prevent undermining of present stone wall and the cost per cubic yard would be about $3. James A. Welch was the next wi ness. He was a member of the com- mittee appointed by the town council to lay out the Watch Hill road, that is the second and last committee appoint- ed. With other members of the com- mittee two trips of examination were made to the Chapman property. The ocommittee made no change in the lines and the committee engaged no surveyor, nor made no plot, but had a plot for their guidance as furnished by the town council, The committee made report and signed it and made the plot a part of the report. Civll Engineer McKenzie assisted the committee in their work, but Mr. Welch could not say whether the engineer accompanied the committee to the Chapman place, but thought he did. Joseph T. Murphy, aged 36, a resi- dent of Westerly for twemty years, and real estate agent for six years, was the next witness. He examined the Chap- man_property with a view as to its valuation. The first section of the land he would value at $400 an acre and in the last section value was placed at $250 an acre and the several sections of like value. The pasture land in the first sectfon he valued for building sites. The improvement of the high- way undoubtedly increases the value of the abutting property. The taking away of a section in front for the pur- pose of widening the highway increases the general value of the whole prop- erty rather than decreases, as the property is in no way impaired by the taking away of a strip to allow for the improvement. With the exception of the knoll the other property is just as good for building purposes as before the road was widened, although the area of the land is diminished. Attorney Sweeney placed in evidence the claim of damages presented to the Westerly town council Nov. 27, 1908, by Courtland P. Chapman, the sum specified being $1,600; also a certified copy of the doings of the council in connection with the Watch Hill road work, together with the engineer’s plot connected therewith. Attorney Barney, er the testimony for the plaintiff was in, explained to the jury the two cases at issue from the standpoint of the defendant and went into both cases in detail. He at- tempted to show that in the first case there was no trespass as the town went on the land with the consent of Mr. Chapman, and that there is no ground for damage, as nothing was done except with the knowledge and without objection of Mr. Chapman, ex- cept such as for actual land taken and c‘;"d.,‘;n,, éry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA |Where to Buy in Westery ROBERT DRYSDALE & CO., Plumber, Steam and Gas Fitter and Dealer in Supplies. 54 Main Strcet, Westerly, R. 1., and Wauwinnet Ave, Watch Hill, R.

R A & for which the town council made am- ple reparation when the sum of $275 was offered by the town council to Mr. Chapman. After a fifteen minutes’ recess coun- sel for the town recalled To Clerk ‘Whipple, who testified from rec- ords that in 1906 at a financial town meeting $15,000 was appropriated for thed-lmprovemam of ‘the Watch Hill roa Tristam D. Babcock testified that he wa member of the Westerly town council and was president from June, 1905, to June, 1907, and presented a plan for the improvement of Watch Hill road at the financial town meet- ing of 1906. The plan was prepared by Engineer McKenzie and witness and the plan was virtually the same as finally adopted in the work that” was done. Witness was with Mr. McKenzie appointed a committee by the town council to visit property owners along the line of the proposed improvements and visited all parties interested and made report to the council. In Janu- ary, 1907, called on Mr. Chapman and went over his property and explained the plots and told Mr. Chapman just what parts of his farm were wanted in connection with the proposed improve- ments. The committee and Mr. Chap- man went up on the knoll and Mr. Chapman told the committee to take all that was wanted at that time and not come a second time for more. The committee thereupon increased the amount of land contemplated to be taken by twenty feet; this was done to clear the obstruction and remove pos- sible danger by giving a clearer view to automobilists. At that time a stone was placed back in the lot as a sort of boundary and that line has not been overstepped. Mr. Chapman set his to- tal damage at $276 and conditioned that the walls be replaced and that certain soil be piled for his conven- jence. Mr. Chapman wanted a good wall, but it was satisfactorily arranged that the old walls be reset. This agreement was considered sat-— isfactory and report to that effect made to the town council. Bids were then agdvertised for and contract was award- ed. Witness gave the work attention during its progress and when well un- der way Mr. Chapman objected to the style of wall that was being erected, but did not object to the removal of the old wall or the progress of the work on the road. Witness informed contractor that the rebuilt walls were not satisfactory upon complaint of Mr, Chapman, who was present. Contract- or said he would secure a better wall builder. Witness told Mr. Chapman that if he was re-elected to the town council he would see that enough of the contractor's money was withheld until the walls were rebuilt to the sat- isfaction of Mr. Chapman, but he was not re-elected. The walls were in poor condition before removal and -cattle occasionally got from the pasturage to the highway. Several portions of the new wall are poor and not as good as the old wall, while other portions are much better than the old wall. He did not know of any stone being taken from the wall to the stone crusher, although he was on the work considerable of the time. There is more material in the new wall than there was in the old wall in what has been termed the second and third secc- Soil was taken from the road- side and on the land of Mr. Chapman. The pasturage owned by Mr. Chapman, wall the witness was not & member of th:fltmn council and was without au- th ty. 4 At this point, or at 12.45, recess was taken until 2 o'clock. The Congregational chureh in Paw- catuck, having recently burned its mortgage and freed from debt, effort is now being made for the gen- eral improvement and equipment of the church property. It is planned to place a bell in the belfry for the first time, although it is many years since this church was established in Pawca- tuck and the present edifice construct- ed. The procuring of the bell in the old Palmer street schoolhouse and the clock as well was given consideration, but this project has been abandoned and negotiations are pending for the purchase of a new bell. Although lo- cated in Pawcatuck, many of the mem- bers reside in Westerly, and it is the only Congregational church in either place. Local Laconics. Sheriff John R. Wilcox, recently re- covered from a severe illness, attend- ed the superior court session Tuesday. It was his first visit to Westerly in over two months. / The Silver Thregd company, with the singing of Jose as the feature, gave a satisfactory entertainment to an ap- preciative audience Tuesday evening in Bliven opera house. ‘W. H. Perry, assistant superintend- ent of Westerly schools, has organized a teachers’ reading circle which will hold a series of ten meetings. The first was held Tuesday afternoon. Two fire alarms were sent in Tues- day for trivial fires which were extin- guished without the aid of the depart- ment. One was on the roof of the stonecutting shed of Andrew Farrell and tHe other in the kitchen of the Blanchard restaurant. The enumeration of school children in the town of Stonington shows a to- tal of 2,054, of which 1,793 attend school and 261 do not. The schools in Pa.w?atuck lead in membership with a total® of 289 in the Liberty street and 461 in the West Broad street school.

FIELD AND GARDEN SEEDS SOLD IN CONNECTICUT. Tests by New Haven A_;rieulturnl Sta- tion of Those Sold in 1909. New Haven, Nov. 30.—Bulletin 164, just issued by the agricultural station in New Haven, discusses the quality of the field and garden seds sold in Con- necticut during the season of 1909. The station tests the purity ond vitality of sreds without charge for farmers, and through its agent buys samples in all parts of the state for examination. In general the quality of the seed was fairly good, though weed seeds and dirt were too common and some sam- ples were quite inferior in vitality and agriculturally worthless. Over eightey packages of seeds were tested from “commission packages;” the boxes of assorted garden seeds from which the owners of small garden patches commonly buy. In the boxes put out by certain packers all the seeds were good, in those of others all were poor, and still other contained both good and bad seed. is the Largest and Best we have had for years.
