FLYNI Main Called to Public Attention by Recent Tree Cases—Court Sessions in Pawcatuck— Dissension Among Saloon Keepers—Frobate Court Eusiness—News in General Althéugh under its charter the West- erly Lu:?( and Power company is given the right to open the streets for the purpose. of laying and maintaining gas pipe service, provided franchise to that effect is granted by the town council, the question has been raised thaf the loce] company has exceeded its author- ity in this respect. It is claimed that the town council has never granted the franchise privilege to open the streets and lay pipes, not only to the present company nor to the three or four that preceded, and that this work has been done by charter authority solely, and -therefore not legalily. ‘The present company can show no authority for laying and maintaining these pipe lines by town grant, but has continued the policy of preceding companies, whose rights were acquired by purchase, When complaint came to the council of the alleged kiiling of trees by leak- ing gas, the council appointed a”com- mittee to investigate the company's liability for damage, and then the ele- ment of the case now in question was discovered. The services of Town So- licitor were considered necessary to probe the legal status, which will prove quite a task to definitely ascertain whether the town council eves gave the present or any other gas company the right to lay pipes in fhe streets of Westerly. It will be necessary to search the records for a vote of the council for a period of nearly fifty years, as the records are without index. It is there- fore a case of search on the part of the town solicitor, whose salary is $50 a month. The town records are being indexed, the start of necessity being with the earliest records, and it will be a long time before the records of the past half century will be reached by the indexer engaged in the work at annual inter— vals, the length being measured by the size of the appropriation for that spe- cial work. While the council has sug- gested that Attorney Agard make re- port on that point at the January meeting, it is believed to be a physical impossibility. As to the damaged trees, the West- erly Light and Power company s in- clined to act squarely and will proba- bly remove such trees as were killed by leaking gas and replace them with new trees, but would probably not willingly cash for alleged dam- ages. Concession is not made that all the trees that have died along the pipe lines was occasioned by leaking gas, and to determine that point experts from the Rhode Island and Connecticut Agrieultural colleges have made exam- ination and filed their report with the company. This report will not be given to the public until after it has been formally presented at a meeting of the directors of the company. It will be shown, however, that in several s died from other causes n by leaking gas, and whatever de- fects that might have existed have been remedied. pay Justice Warren Randall of Pawca- tuck will hold two court sessions this week.

'Phone 223, Norwich The regular December meeting of the Westerly board of trade was gh,eld ‘Tuesday evening in Town hall, Presi- dent Charles Perry presiding, with a fair attendance of members.

Coy was appointed a com- mittee to investigate the bolt and nut industry in Vermont that contemplat- ed removal to Westerly, but as Mr. Coy was subsequently injured and could not make the trip, the secretary wrote and asked if negotiation was still open and received characteristic reply that Westerly was too late, and ;:1-’.1]! the industry would remain where s. Since the last session and while the shoe strike was on in Lynn, announce- ment was made that the manufactuers of the Sorosis shoe contemplated re- moval from Lynn. President Perry communicated with the company, and acknowledgment of the letter was re- ceived with the information that it would be flled for reference, together with the special inducements offered by Westerly. The matter of a sign, electric or otherwise, near the railway station, was considered. James A. Welch re- ported in favor of placing an electric sign in the top of the gas retort, and that the Westerly light and power company would furnish the electric lights, the sign to bear the words: “Westerly. Industries Wanted. Cheap Electric Power.” The cost of the sign would be $175, and in size eighteen by six feet. M. H. Spellman, manager of the Westerly light and power com- pany, agreed to place the sign in po- sition. The sign could be easily read either by night or day, and Mr. Spell- man informed Mr. Welch that he would furnish the sign complete for 8175, and if the board desired the word “electric” would be omitted. Dr. John Champlain commented on the generosity of the Westerly power Aand light company and seconded the motion made by Everett E. Whipple, that a sum not to exceed $200 be ap- propriated for the sign as proposed and to be expended under the direction of James A. Welch, and the length of contract for light with the company be left at the discretion of Mr. Welch, or for a period of five years. Albert G.. Martin favored adding to the sign the words, “Board of Trade,” although it would cost more, and he would Jike to know if the members considered it worth more. Ira B.
