Pressing and Repairing. e ———————— Westerly's Hit-Him-in-the-Head Hindera Rapid Progress, Declares Judge Feabody—Ad- journed Town Meeting Further Adjourned—Records to be Searched for Light on Union St. Grade—$100 S Voted Towards Band Concerts. % An adjourned session of the annual financial town meeting was held in the_ Town hall, Tuesday morning, to hear the report of Albert N. Crandall, William Clark, John J. Carney, Fran- cis Haswell and Clifford ' W. Campbell, the committee appointed to ascertain the cost of changing the grade in Union street to a one per cent. grade from Broad street to a three per cent. grade from Main street, which means the leveling of Cookey hill The committee members that they had been in consultation with contractors and with property- owners, and presented what they con- sidered outside yrices for making the proposed improvements, as no actual bids had been asked for. The esti- mates are: For cutting down the street to the new grade, resetting curb- ing and repaving gutters, $4,300; for lowering and making changes in the town hall, $7,580; lowering fire house, $4,200; changes in Edwin W. Bab- reported cock property, $2,800; changes in Hibernian _ hall property, $5,000; change in Minchen property, = $250: change of location of waterpipes, $450; a total of $24,530. Accompanying the report were prop- ositions from proper owners. James A, Welch and the Frank W. Coy Real Estate company, owners of most of the property in the street, agreed to do all that was mecessary in connec- tion with the proposed improvement at their own expense, and hold the town harmless from all damages. Division No. 1, Ancient Order Hi- ‘bernians, proposed that at no expense to the organization, the hall building be lowered and replaced in the same relative position to the street grade as at present, so that the main floor would be at the same level as now with the new grade. That all neces- sary rocks and soil be removed from the land surrounding the building in- cidental to the change be removed, and that the grounds then be graded and seeded; also that the retaining wall be rebuilt. That a condition be that the work be completed by November 24 of the present year and that the division receive $1,200 for that period in recompense of 10ss in rentals of the Rev. Edwin W. Babeock, through his agent, proposed that if it was desira- ble to change the house and lot he owned in connection with the proposed improvement, that all the soil on his property to be removed be placed in the lot and regraded so as not to in- terfere with the well curb or outhouse, and that the house be placed on same relative street level as now, and at no expense to him. He would alsa want the town to recompense him and his tenants from any loss by rentals or_otherwise. William Minchen upon the payment of $250 to him would make all the required changes his property. Albert N. Cranda chairman of the committee, stated that the propesi- tion from the Hibernians was not re- ceived until Monday night, and that in his opinion the sum required would be fully $1,080 above the estimate. Upon motion of Judge John W. Sweeney, the report was received. Ira B. Crandall asked Moderator Pendleton if an official grade had ever been established for Union street, and the query was referred to Town Clerk ‘Whipple. He said he was not will- ing te say positively as to the grade, and that the only way to definitely determine the matter was a search of the records of the tewn council for the past forty years. He was posi- tive that there was no plat of the street In the town clerk’s office. Mr. Crandall stated that ¥f no grade had been estabilshed, the improvement can go forward on the new grade, and the only redress for the property own- ers would be retaining walls at the expense of the town. Milo Clark without comment made a motion to adjourn. At a later peri- od in the meeting, Mr. Chark as ex- planation said that he considered the estimates prohlbitive. The motion was not recognized and Judge Thom- as H. Peabody spoke at considerable length in favor of lowering the grade of Union street, but beiteved more rea- sonable concessions would de made in some instances. He said that no im- provement of a public nature is made without benefiting some people more than others, but all should be partners in town affairs, and what benefits one | partner benefits the firm.

Manufacturer and Builder, Woeeterly, I -~ dEisd in helping those who helped them- selves. The hit-him-in-the-head is what keeps Westerly from rapid pr g- ress, He referred to serving on a committee years ago relative to en- larging the town hall and quoted some of the offers of land at that time which could be remewed now, should the town decide to retain the town hall on the present ‘site should the street be graded, and whereon a build- ing suitable for all town purposes could be erected. Judge Peabody said it would pay the town to engage Solicitor Agard, or some other competent person, to ex- amine the council records and ascer- tain whether there is in reality an es- tablished grade for Union street. If there is no official grade, there is nothing to prevent the town council from establishing a grade free from damage claims of property owners. He favored the improvement and belieted the general sentiment also favored. He_then offered the following vote: Voted, That the whole matter in- volved in the report of the commit- tee, be and the same is hereby re- ferred to the town council to act in the nremises as in their judgment is considered to be for the best interests of the town. Jehn Carney here stated that Messrs. ‘Welch and Coy had informed the com- mittee that if a portion of their land was needed for town hall purposes, it could be taken and that they would accept any recompense named by the committee. William L. Clarke, president of the Westerly town council, was opposed to referring the matter to the town coun- cil. It was a tangled skein that had been hadled well by the committee, and the proper place to do the straighten- ing out now, was right in town meet- ing, and not saddle the responsibility upon the town council. Judge Peabody meant no reflection upon the committee, but the matter would eventually go to the town coun- ciL. There would be no objection to the council appointing the same com- mittee to act for that body. Charles H. Ledward raised the question on Judge Peabody’s motien as to the power intended to give the council in the matter. He believed it would be a good thing to cut down Union street, but the taxpayers should have the say as to the amount of money to be expended. John Carney was of opinion that the work could be done within the sum estimated by the committee. Dr. John Champlin suggested that there be a time limitation set for def- inite action in the motion. for to leave it optional would be unfair to abut- ting owners and interfere with build- ing plans. g‘hnmas Biddles declared that the taxpayers should know just what this proposed improvement was to cost be- fore the work was commenced. The people wanted no more of that Watch Hill road busin Michael Flynn thought a fair and reasonable time for the completion of the work would be November 24, the date set in the Hibernian proposition. James A. Welch stated that his proposition must not be considered as binding only for a reasonable tim ‘While he happened to own more prop erty on the street tham anybody else, it would therefore cost him money to do his part of the work, and he did not expect to derive any direct gain during his life time. He declared that he did not take the initiative in this proposed improvement. He acted up- on a committee of the board of trade to which he was appointed during his absence, and assisted in the prelim- inary work. He agreed with Judge Peabody that no public improvement is made which is not more beneficial to some than to others. Charles Perry did net believe it nec- essary to vote $25,000 to cut down ion street, He was of opinion that there never was a grade established for that street. This point should be determined. If there is no grade the work can be done for half the sum estimated. Mr. Welch was not in faver of spending $25,000 for improving the street, but was of opinion that the item of $7,500 for changes in town hall should be eliminated, as a new town hall must come at an early date. Samuel H. Davis said that the change in grade was an actual neces- sity and would be of great public ben- efit by glving firemen opportunity to make that needed early start in case of fire. He also referred to the un- anitary conditions of the police sta- tion new town hall. . B. Court Bentley reminded the meet- in that Union street was graded and curbed some years ago, and that per- haps present property owners consid- ered that to ‘be the legal grade. Judge Peabody withdrew his motion and Charles Perry substituted the fol- lowing, which was carried: Voted, That the committee appoint- ed two weeks ago be continued and be requested to have the town records searched to settle if a grade for Un- ion street has ever been established, and if it has not been established, to report the cost of maging the change of grade proposed under these condi- tions; and the committee is directed to report its findings to an adojurn- ment of the meeting, to be held three weeks from today, June 14, 1910, at 10 a wil m Clark of the committee said he would like to know just what was required. In the event of there being no established grade of Union street. He judged from the talk of some that the fire house should be lowered and the town hall unchanged. This was an inconsistent point that ought to be determined in town meeting. Judge Oliver H. Willlams spoke in ravor of the cutting down of the street and an improved town hall. Judge John W. Sweeney spoke in advocacy of the change of grade and a square deal with the abutting prop- erty owners who were aggrieved at the proposed changes. He said the Or- der of Hibernians were not in a po- sition to spend money for land im- provements. It would be unfair to dig away the street and leave the main floor of Hibernian hall seventeen feet above the street level without maging adequate recompense. Michael Burke, representing the Hi- bernians, stated that the proposition of the order was a fair one. The es- timated damage is not excessive for to get into the hall, with the floor seventeen feet above the street level, flying machines would be required, and they are not in common use in Westerly at present. It was only ask- ed that Hibernian hall be treated the same as the town hall the fire house and the Babcock house. So the adjourned meeting proved to have been a meeting which was ad- journed to another adjourned meet- ing. The only business completed at the meeting was the apprepriation of $100 towards the expense of weekly band concerts in Wilcox park. upon motion of Judge Sweeney. The cost of these concerts will be $350. _Of this sum the park trustees have donated $100. which be raised in connection with the needed $100, leaves 3150 to y popular subscription.
