Clarke presiding and thesa councilmen present: Man- ulley. Several interested citi- zens present were a delegation of Watch Hill summer residents, includ- ing some ladies. The session was held in_the office of the town clerk. J. Frank Chaplin, proprietor of the Ogean house, protested against the work of relaying and rebuilding the trolley road as it now damaging to the business at the hotel. He asked that 1ts work be stopped forthwith so far as the trolley work goes, but that the work of In\yrwvement being done Dby the town be Continued.’ _ Judge John W. Sweney represent- ing the remonstrants spoke in oppo- tion to a vcontinuance of the work, and doubted the authority of the trolley company to continue the work as sel forth in vote:of the town coun- cil, Henry Dixon said the Watch “Hill and good roads had at- tracted many visitors, and the bad condition thie season of the road would have a demoralizing effect and cause irretrievable damage to Watch HIill Now the road is absolutely unsafe for automobiles. People come to Watch Hill for recreation and pleasure and should not be disturbad by work that ought to be done before summer visit- beauty of ors arrive. Mrs. Annie S. Burnett said she did more than any individual in getting ‘property owners to Watch Hill. The ladies now do’ their shopping in Ston- ingston making the trip by boat, and this is a loss to Westerly. A family objected to living at the hill because, they would just as leave live in a quarry as to be near a gang of Italians. We ars all indignant, and she said do not come from the city to be among picks, shovels and Italians. Everett A. Kingsley appeared for the trolley company, and said that thre company had done much towards the building up of Watch Hill, and could not stand the loss at this time, were the work now under way to be stop- ped. Tf permitted to go on the work } Would be completed in about three weeks. The Watch Hill road is for public banefit and not a speedway for Watch Hill automobilists. The cause of the delay was financial reasons, he said. J. Frank Champlin said the loss to him would be $5,000,-and the merchants of Westerly are losing by present con- ditions. Ex-Gov. George H. Utter was the next speaker, was informed that the timé agreed upon for the completion of the work was June 15. He then asked the railroad representative if the contractor agreed to complete the work in a specified number of davs, but Superintendent Cousins had not seen the contract and could not answer. In the absence of General Manager Se- well, the engineer said he thought the specified ‘time for the completion of the work was by July 12. Governor Utter said that as the rail- road company had pot li p to the agreement there might eed for Where to Buy in Westerly ROBERT DRYSDALE & CO..

Saunders, Will- | leniency, but he believed that the public had rights, He favored-a rea- sonable ground, and that the railroad company be permitted to go forward until July 12th and then be stopped. Engineer Clark H. Welton said the hardest work in from School street to Thompson’s corner and that ceuld be dona in four days, beyond that point there was ample room for traffic_and the carying on of the work without public inconvenjence. The stopping of the work would disarrange the work- ing force and the general plan besides the loss of stock by deterioration. The rock cut of four feet at Foster's farm could be delayed until Septem- ar. Mr. Dickinson stated that the four weeks means much longer_and an all season inconvenience to Watch Hill people and the résidents of Westerly. The action of the trolley company is to blame for the present condition by their muddling methods. The one thing that would benefit Watch Hill is immediate suspension of the work until Sept. 15. Dr. John F. Champlin said he had a cottage that was unranted for the first time in twelve years, owing to the bad condition of the road. At Watch Hill proper the work that belongs to the town has not been done and that is the sourca of the injustice complained of. Councilman Longworthy said that if particular attention was given this matter as rapidly as possible, the work would be completed. Dr. Champlin insisted that the town of Westerly should do its own work first and then poke the trolley peopla to do their work. He said if the road was permitted to continue on to Pleas- ant View the problem could be par- tially solved for the season. William F. Saunders spoke in a similar strain. Judge Swerney spoke in favor of the immediate suspension of the work. J. Frank Champlin asked the council to pass a vota to that effect, or else the Watch Hill people wil] have to take the matter in their own hands. The Watch Hill people object to the work going on for another minute. Mr. Kingsley stated that _General Managsr Sewell would be in Westerly Wednesday, and asked that action be deferred until after the council- had viewed the work that has been done and proposed. The council decided to make a per- sonal view of the premises before tak- ing definite action, and for that pur- pose will make the trip in automobiles this (Wednesday) morning and that when adjourning it be to 7.30 Wadnes- day evening. The hearing of parties interested in the change in grade and layout of Beach street, followed and the rzport of the committee, Albert N. Crandall, FBugene B. Pendleton and John J. Carnéy in reference to the changes was adopted. The committee could not agree with Frank G. Saunders in ref- °nce to damges. Judge Swerney, his . stated that all he wanted was r treatment, such as is-given others, nd as much as the others in propor- tion., a sum of $137.20 In eash and to make specified - changes. This was agreed to. R. Segor & company being lowest bidder, was awarded the contract for furnishing coal for the ensuing yaar at $5.79 a ton. The other bids were $7.90 and $6.20. Tavern licenses were issued to C. F. Kapablay for the Plimpton house and Edward H. Buffson for the Weekapaug Inn N The monthly Teport of Chief of Po- licz Broomsfield showed six arrests| and' two liquor raids. Lewis Stanton, superintendent of health reported noé contagious dis. eases during June. The police committee was instructed to enforce the laws relating to the speeding of automobiles and to give this matter immediate attention. Councilman Culley reminded the council that at the last mesating he stated positively that he would not serve again on the police committee and that he meant just what he said; thereforz he did not even propose to serve until his successor was appoint- ed. No action was taken. Town Solicitor Agard stated that at the suggestion of Councilman Flynn the matter of obstacles to the rights of the public on the shores of Watch Hill had been referred to him. He id there was no doubt but the pub- lic had rights on the shores bztween high water and low water marks, un- der the statutes, and advised that the whole matter be placed before tha at- torney general for action, as the land in question belonged to the state. On motion, Messrs. Agard and Flynn were appointed a committee to consult with the attorney general on the subject. Councilman Flynn referred to the sign placed by the Griscoms on their property, . stating that the Toadway led to the govermment reservation. He said that if the people had the right to use that roadway the sign was misleading and a menance to the people, and that¥the town should place 3 contradietory sign in the immediate vicinity. Judge Swerney said that he was counsel for Mr. “Griscom and could state with positiveness that the road in question was hot a public highway, but that.Mr. Griscom had no objection to the public making proper use of the road in going to and from the govern- ment reservation, and that _what served to be the objectionable %treet sign was merely a precaution to pre- vent liability for damage. The Gris- coms had never prohibited the public use of that road and had no such in- tention. Councilman Flynn asked if Mr. Gris- com entertained that same spirit of libarality in regard to the obstructing fence on the shore. Judge Swerney said he was mot familiar with - the status of the fence, but he did not be- liave Mr. Griscom intended to prevent the people from using the shore be- tween low and high water marks and had he the inclination, he would pot have the legal authority. In the matter of change of grade in Union street, Solicitor A,‘an? stated that the statutes required that thre: weeks’ notice of hearing be given abutting property owners, beforz the work of actval change should com- mence. Councilman Flynn urged that all possible haste be made with this work, and the required haaring will be made a part of the next regular meeting of the town council. Judge Burke held regular session of the Westerly probate court Wednesday aftarnoon, Charles B. Coon_ being the husband and only heir of Harriet N. Coon who died May 14, intestate, ask- ed that he or some other suitable per- son be appointed administrator’ of the estate. Judge Burke appointed Mr. Coon administrator. He. furnished a bond of $800, with Edward M. Dodge, surety. The will of Walter Price, who died June 14, was presented for probate and mitted. All of his .property and es- tate is bequaathed to his wife, Ellen F.,. son Waiter and Katherine Pric to share apd share alike. It is esti- mated that the personal property will not exceed '$15,000. Mrs. Price was confirmed as executrix and the per. sonaj bond . was. find at $25,000. Al- bert M. Larngworthy, Albert M dall and Charles J. Butler were. ap- peinted appraisers. Robert A, Palmer, administrator of the estate of Addie A. Palmer, through his attornéy, Judge John W. Swernay, stated there ‘was no personal estate and there are ohims agminst the es- tate.

To Renovate Ribbons. Get out all the old ribbons you have expected to throw away, for they can be cleaned—white and colored the children have b2en wearing on their hair, old hat ribbons, odd bows and sashes that some thme or other deck- od a dress. Get them in shape znd lay them aside in a box untll needed, for even when they are unfit to be worn again they can be tern in nar- row strips and crocheted into pillow covers and couch comforters. Untie all the bows, pick out threads and brush every bit of silk or satin untll it is entirely free of dust. Then taks a pisoe of castile somp, shave it into a powder and boll it with water to a jelly. Put the white ribbon in a bowi with tepid water and a table- spoonful of soap jelly. Put each of the other ceolors in other bowls, with a bath prepared in the same wa. Let tha white ribbons soak longer than the colors and take up one end and souse the streamer up and down in the bath, occasionally using a soft nail brush on a stubborn soiled spot. During the soaking and changing from ome bowl to another pick up the ribbons oc- casionally and smooth out the creases. Rinse them in several waters, shake them free of superfluous water and | hang them, without wringing, in the shade. With colors that are itkely to fade much soak ths ribbon before washing it in a strong brine of salt and water. Some ribbons will come through the bath resplendently, others will not. _But If you will only remem- ber all the pretty house things that can be made with old ribbons you will take vour chances. The ironing will require some art, and a little gum water used as @ stiff- ner will give them thesrequired crisp- ness and help them to remain clean longer. If there are many ribbons to be renovated, wash a little gum arabic— something less than a jquarter of a pound—in cold water to get the dusty stuff entirely clean. Then dissolve it in two quarts of boiling water, stirring with a wooden paddle until the gum melts, and keeping the vessel that holds it near the fire. When entirely melted strain the gum and _water through cheesecloth, and use about a tablespoon of the mixture to every pint of plain water for stiffening the ribbons. Dip them In this after they have dried, hang them up again in the shade and when half dry roll them in a damp cloth preparatory to the press- ing. A soft padding must be made for the ironingboards—quite three thicknesses of old blanket or felt. Press the rib- bons while damp between newspapers with a medium hot iron, and air them well before putting them aw: Be- fore using them again for rsonal adornment trim all the edges and when making up into bows again sew the loops in the old creases. A fine ribbom, onlv slightly sofled, mav be put in good shape sometime: with dry cleaning. French chalk, spread thickly over the soiled places, d left on for twenty-four hours. will sometimes do wonders. A naphtha or benzine bath may also be given a rib- for moap and water, but these cleansers are scarcely ever entirely satisfactory and, moreover. they are most dangesous to life and limb if used in & room in which there in_any artfcial light or fire and a geod effect soap and water are best for all white and pale tinted ribbons.
