The original appropriation for the Norwich building and site was Sll 000, and the site cost $30,000, leay- $80,000 for the building. The West- nr y appropriation is 100,000, and $20. 000 has been 'paid for the site, which leaves 380,000 for the building, the same amount as for the Norwich struc- ture. “The material to be used in the con- struction of the building, granite, brick or _concrete, has not been deter- mined. There i local desire that the building be constructed of Westerly gramte, and while it is known that the mrnmont would not discrimin- ate against other granite, it is believ- ed some local concern would be the loweat competitive bidder. The new building will front on High street, where the government has ‘a frontage of 190 feet, and will include the site of the present building.

Brown a ground rental of $12.50' a month, while the postoffice department continues to pay regular office rental, It is prac tieally decided that the present post- office building wvill be moved to.a part of the vacant lot in High street be- tween the Brown building and Porter Loveland property,owned by the Brown estate. It is believed that, once start- ed, the bullding can be moved to the new sits in three days, and without se- rious @sturbance to the postoffice bus- 1 Js piammed to conduct the busi- ness in the present structure in the Jocation until the new build- ing is ready for occupanc As all the present furniture and ioffice equipment is owned by the own esthts, the mew building will be equipped throughout with new furni- ture, and ing required in a model will be In the new building, which will be devoted wholly to gov- ernment business. Frank Brady, representing the Cen- tral Labor union of Westerly, and Eu- gene A. Driscoll, the Quarrymen’s un- | fon, attended a session of the Rhode Island state branch of the American IFederation of Labor 4n Woonsocket, | Sunday. A majority of the committee appointed to consider the changing of ratio of taxetiom recommended a 1 per cent. per eapita tax a month on all union members, and that all cnmrall hodies and trade councils affiliated pay $1 a month. Pending the action of lo- cal unions an assessment of 1 per cent. per oapita is levied to meet the current expénses. The committee recommend- ! ol two meetings a year and that each: { eonld not wait for the advent of the < : L i union be entitled to two delegates, and this recommendation is submitted 1o the local unions for action. A resolution was adopted that the|| general assembly be requested to hold hearings on labor measures in the evening, in order that workingmen could attend without financial loss. A resolution was presented in condemna- tion of the American Boy Scout move- ment, as it was maintained that the orsanization fostered barbarism. and militarism in the generation which will Jater take the place of the present workingmen in the business world. Another resolution concerned the bet- terment of conditions of the men em- ployed at the Newport naval station. Arnother resclution called upon the press of the state to favor the passage of a ‘bill for an cight hour day for mu- nicipal employes. Protest was made against women working at night in factories. Although a bill of prlcel for the next five years has been settled by the gran- thesmanufacturers did net feel justified ers of Westerly, the unsettled condi- tion that existed during the period of seitlement and in anticipation of labor tronble has had its effect upon the granite indvstries of Westerly, and it will probably be several months before there is return of even normal condi- tions. Usually at this season there is demand for completion of cemetery work to be finished by Memorial day. but now there is very little of that class of work being done by the local concerns, and in consequence many granite workers are umemployved, as the manufactuers did not feel justified in taking contracts umtil after the bill of prices was agreed upon. ‘While all of the manufacturing con- cerns are being operated, the working force in some of them is reduced ma- terially. Men long in the business are being laid off for indeflnite periods and some are arranging to leave town and work elsewhere. —_— Rev. F. C. A, Jones, pastor of Cal- vary Baptist church, Westerly, in the absence of the apnomted speaker, Rev. T. H. Root of Wood River Junction, who could not attend on account of ili- ness, read a paper at the monthly meeting of the Westerly Ministerial association, in the Memorial building, Monday. His subject was A Study of the Book of Minah. A general discus- sion followed the reading of the paper. The schedule of the International Hod Carriers and Building Laborers’ union is to go in effect April 1, and in common with other employers of la- borers has been submitted to the high- ‘way committee of the town of West- erly. TUnion and non-union men have been emploved in the highway depart- ment, and that rule will probably pre- | vail. Six laborers have been emploved and worked together for the past year and seemed satisfied. Monday morn- ing five of the six men declared they would not work unless the other man whe is not a member of the union, wa; discharged. The man was not order ed to leave, and the quintette quit work. 'he union is composed entirely of Talians. They became restive and schedule. Local Laconics.

Retail Druggists 131-133 Main Street The legitimate, honorable and honest piane dealers of New York have suffered pretty severely frem dishonest competition at various times, and fi;notimu at -the. hands of those from ,whom different things had been expected. But it is only recently that there has been introduced a form of juggl-r; which has made victims of thousands in the west and olmhor-.’ This callecl.forth-most vislent deunciation at the piano dealérs’aconvention in Detroit last June, and has been exposed and anathematized by respectabls newspapers and dealers everywhere. 2 We refer to the “Puzzie -Contest,” “Limerick Vérse Contest,” “Rebus,” “Drawing Contest,” or any “other form ef “Contest” “coupons,” “bends,” “eohecks,” or that involves, for misleading “due bills” given as prizes for correct solutions of the puzzles. These puzzles are so simple that anyons can solve them. The “Contest,” like the se-called “Piane Club,” depends for success upon deception. The deception, as fhc musical journals term it, cons taking a piano that may be worth $250, and pretending that it is worth $400, If you solve the puzzle correctly (and, of course, ANYONE can solve it correctly), you get a “due bill” worth $50 or $75 or $100 or $150 towards the purchase of the 43400” piano which is only worth $250. Generally one piano is given away free to the one whose solution is “received first,” or who sends the “neatest” solution, or something of tHat sort, and the name of the person is ad- vertised and exploited /to ‘show that the promoters do as they agree, and to attract new dupes for the next “contest.” In sar’ne cases an article of jewelry, pen, pencil, or some- is offered as a consolation prize for all | to receive one of the “checks” So the contestant believes he will get one of thess But he doesn’t know the thing . of that nature who % “more valuable” prize or “bonds.” anyway, as a reward for his trouble. game. The jewelry is seldom or never _given away, because jewelry, even if cheap, costs SOMETHING; while “checks” and “bonds” for $50 or $150 cost NOTHING WORTH nothing, hence are sent to everybedy who sends a go- absolutely and are fution of the % puzzle. Of course, -the piano that is given away is paid for many times over by the other “successful contestants,” or victims, who bring their due bills for $50 or $75, and then pay the balance of $3%5 or $350, in cash, for a piane that could be hought here, or mest anywhere. of any honorable heuse, for $225 or $250.
