b ] Continued Effort to Have New Public Building of Local Granite — War Comrades Attend Col. James F. Brown’s Funeral—Good Trolley Service to Watch -It is evident that there is to be no competition among architects for the plans and specifications of the -pro- posed combined town hall and court house in Westerly, as the state com- mission on the court house and the t9wn committee on town hall are agreed that the Providence firm of ‘William R. Walker & Son shall be the architects of the building. This firm preparcd a preliminary plan which provided for a brick building with granite trimmings, which was planned to come within the appropréation of #50,000 made by the state, and the $125,000 apprepriated by the town, whieh includes the purchase price of the original site at the corner of Union and Broad streets: the addition- al tract of land in Broad street being especially provided for in annual pay- ments of $300, as long as Rev. BEd-" ward Babcock and his wife shall sur- wvive, the cenditions upon which the fand was deeded to Christ Episcopal church and transferred to the town of Westerly and which includes the Nestor residence, so-called, . When this building matter was-eon- sid:reé in town meeting about three months age, a strong mox¥ement de- veloped to have the joint building of Westerly granite, after advocacy &y local granitemen. The result was flfe adoption of a vote that the builling be of Waesterly granite, if passible, which means if a_building of granite ean be constructed within the appro- priation. It was argued that a change in the emterior anchitecture would - bring avent the desired result, and it was suggested tha® the architects submit plan for a grante building; there the matter rests. The joint commission hes been putiently awaiting the pres- entation of such a pian, but none has been racetved from the architects, al- though the commission has made per- sistept endeavor to have the plans hurrisd o that definite decision could be readhed as to material, and the work of tuilding commenced. The cammission decierss the delay is not with them, but with the architects, Tt is distinctly understood that the $50,000 appropriated by the state for the court house section will not be in- creased, ard that sum is to include - the furnishing of the state's section of the building. Shonld it be found that & granite building would be in excess of the joint apprepriation, and the citizens of the town of Westerly per- sisted in the use of granite, then an additional appropriation must be made by the town. Congressman Utter is of the opinion that the new postoffice building be of Westeriy granite, and this opin- fon is strengtheéned by queries re- ceived frem the treasury department apd suggestion frem the geological department. Postmaster Butler was requested by the treasury department to ferward a list of the granite man- ufacturers whose quarries were with- in twenty miles of the site for the new posteffice building, and sent in the nams of every granite manufac- tufer In Washingten county, as they are ell confined within that territory. If the material cemes from any of these quarries it is sure to be West- erly granite, and the treasury depart- ment would not ask for the informa- tion unless a nite structure was under consideration. The idea of securing granite for toffice buildings at a great dis- nce from the site, when not neces- sary, 1s deprecated by the geological survey departmeni. According to T. Nelson Dale of the geological depart- ment, who has collected specimens of granite all through New England and elsewhere, it is a mistake to bring granite from a distance for use in publie buildings when suitable ma- terial is near at hand. He quoted as illustration the postoffice building in ‘Willdmantic, which is built of Indiana granite, while better granite nearer the site was obtainable. The geolog- ical department recommends the use of native granite in buiidings whenever pessible. Here in Westerly the best of gran- ite is elose at hand to the proposed slte and if the department submits plans for. a granite building and ‘Westerly granite is not used, the fault will be with the granite manufactur- ers of Westerly, for with freight charges eliminated they ought to be successful bidders, even if their prices are ordinarily higher than some com- petitors elsewhere. It has heen decided that aside from the trimmings, the new railroad sta- tion will not be of Westerly granite, although considerable of the native stone will be used in the general work of improvement, Local Laconics.
