THE WESTERLY PUBLIC LIBRARY [Brief Siate News Constantly Increasing Patronage Give; Evidence of Its Popularity—Intense Interest in Today’s Vote on Li- cense in Pawcatuck—Old Welch Building Removed Around the Corner. There is indication that matters of special interest will be considered at the monthly meeting of the Westerly town council today (Monday), among which will be%a proposition from the Memorial and Library association that may cause revival of the subject of cutting down Cookey Hill. The trus- tees recently purchased the Babcock property, at the corner of Broad and 1'nfon streets, that extends from the Nestor property, so-called, in Broad Street to Umion, and in the latter street o the Westerly fire district property, all convenient to the present town hall, which is inadequate for the pub- lic_needs. There has been considerable agita- tion for a site for a new town hall near its present location, and, so it is sald, the Memorial and Library trus tees will offer the recently acquired property for town hall purposes, and for the actual price paid by the trus- tees. Purchase was made for the pro- teotion of the Meimorial building and Wilcox park, and to make the sur- roundings in keeping with the Memo- rial building and park It is believed the town councilmen will give the proposition favorable con- pideration and recommend the proposi- tion to a special financial town meet- ing. As the preliminaries of the proposi- | executive session, it is believed that definite action will be taken at this, regular meetting of the town council. People in the Pawcatuck district of the town of Stonington are intensely | interested in the outcome of the town vote today on the liquor license ques- tion, the election of town officers be- ing of secondary consideration. The advocates of license have been con- ducting an active gum shoe campaign, and th®y believe that it will be effect- ive, even if it has been noiseless. A large vote is predicted for license by these advocates, although they are satisfied that the members of the Worningmen’s €lub, so-called, are al- lied with the prohibitionists. or no- license people, in the contest that will be decided today. The no-license party has not been as busy as heretofore in their opposing work before election day, being satis- fied with special sermons against li- cense in the churches on Sunday, and the public talk of a single speaker a week ago, who visited Pawecatuck in the interests of the Connecticut pro- hibition candidates for state officers. The town of Stonington was in the license column four years ago, and ince then has gone no-license by com- paratively small mujorili(‘s. tion frosn the trustees have been con- sidered by the councilmen, at a recent | ——— ®esessesssscsscsssectsesesecesssssssessssesece Where to Buy in Westarly Beseeeessersaserescesserssesssesssssssecersan INDUSTRIAL TRUST COMPANY Westerly Branch Capital ......... 1:”“ l':flllifon g“::". h L.
