m ; nftf-»flmdwm,fi uond‘ty Musicolony _ sented Pubhc Iabury ‘The Davis farm, until recently owned by J. Danlel Davis and Frederjck P. Davis of Pawcatuck and Walfer H. Davis, heirs of Susan Davis, and upon which Dr. Franklin D. Lawson of New York has had. an option for qver & year, was sold Saturday by Frank W. Coy and the deed filed for record in tha tewn clerk’s office. The purchase Anciu over 300 acres of land and a mile or more of beach Jand, extending from the Quonecontaug life saving sta- tion on the east to the Weekapaug holdings on_the west. It is to knewn as Musicolony. As already stated, Dr. Lawson is planning to have it & summer colony of musical people, some of the leading singers and in- stromental soleists f the country hav- ing air purchased bullding lots, and others have given assurance of their intention to purchase. It is plan- ned to lay out & main strapt 100 feet in width, with well arranged side streets, and with building restrictions that will make Musicolony one of the main beauty spots of the coast. The purchase includes a never-failing apring of water adequata for all the uses of the colony, and it is proposed to make the settlement modern in ev- ery respect. The purchase includes two tracts of land Ioc-ted in the towns of Westerly and Charlestown. One tract is of 250 acres, more or less, with a house, barn and other buildings. This plot is bounded northerly by the Post roa westerly by land now or formerly own: ed by Benajah Gavitt, James Ross and Bdward Wilcox, southerly by Salt pond, and easterly by the Joseph Gavitt and Edward Wilcox property. Reserved from this tract is the grave- yard as now enclosed, together with the right to and from same, with ve- hicle or on foot. The second tract is marsh, meadow nd beach lands. This tract is boundad the west by land formerly owned o by Jeremiah Thurston, on the north by Sailt pond and the John Rose and San- ford Noyes property, on the west by 1and of the United States goVernment, and by the breachway, and southerly by the Atlantic ocean. A portion of the westerly border of the property is heavily wooded and it is Dr. Lawson’s plan to reserve that section for natural park purposes. It is one of the most desirable sites for a summer eolony on the coast and it is preposed to confine the settlement to musicst people. Dr. Lawson was in Wester'-- Mon- day. He sald that 178 lots had bz2en sold and all uader restriction by deed. The lot owners will be taxed $5 a year per lot for the general maintenance and improvement of the colony, as the doctor’s undertaking is not a money- makis scheme. Aside from twenty acres of the forest land that is to be econverted into a park, the forest wiil remain undisturbed forever and no bird er animal will ever be shot on the premises, a sort of haven where they will be fres from molestation. Through the woodeéd land runs a brook that tically begins and ends within the Musieolony and there are restrictions in the deeds to lot owners, who also ‘become general owners of the property, that there shall never be any fishing in that brook. Provision is also made that the sand dunes near the beacn will never be disturbed by men, the pirpose being to reserva a section of the colony in its original naturalness. Tt is also planned to have meetings of musical organizations in the colony As well as musical festivals and the general advancement of all that per- tains to music at Musicolony. Dr. Lawson is enthusiastic in his project and declares he is receiving supporting encouragement, his aim and ambition being to establish’'an ideal summer home where singers and musicians can have recreation and preparation com- bined. In compliance with state statutes, the oups at the drinking fountains in Westerly were removed several months ago, and thereforz only animals can slake their thirst at the fountains.- The Westerly water works commissioners, realizing the need of public drinking foantains, authorized Supt. Thomas H. McKenzie to supply the nesd by plac- ing sanitary drinkigg fountains near the fountains alreadt established near the postoffice, the railway station and in West Broad street. Within a week the bast sanitary drinking fountains known will be installed at the places designated. Mr. McKenaie has selected fountains made of moulded cement, of pleasing design, and they arz to be equippe with a sanitary bubbler, an improve- ment upon-those now in use in Wilcox park, the water being emitted in equal volume, while the bubbler is absolute- 1y sanftary. No matter what may bs the pressure of water at the points where the fountains are to be located, the force at the bubbler is the sam and so regulatad that drinking at thes fountaips will be a pleasure as well as a benefit. The first of these fountains to be placed in position will be near the postoffice. A concrete pedestal for it was placed in position Monday. Mrs. Charl J.

Mr. "Hill’s Substitute. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, July 31.—In the ways | and means committee last week, Rep- resentative Hill offered as a substi- | tute for the motion to report the cot- | ton schedules favorably, the follow- ing “Whereas, Upon the passage of the | Payne bill the present speaker of the | house submitfed a motion to recommit | the same with instructions to' amend by reducing the duties carried by the bill to revenue rates, and “Whereas, Such resolution has been supplemented by the following decla- prominent leaders of upon_ the the floor of the house of reps as follows: Mr, Under abama— Our position is that the taxes lev- ied at the custom house are for the sole purpose of producing revenue to | support the government of the United | States, and we are mot justified in | levying taxes for any other purpose. | Therefore, when we approach the | question of putting articles on the freg | st, the sole point involyed, so far as | we are concerned, is whether the gov- ernment of the United States can dis- rations by democrat party pense with the revenue derived from these articles. | “Mr. Adamson of Georgia— 4 “A “democratic tariff system, con- structed upon proper democrati¢ prin- ciples, would contain no rates higher than were adjudged to e the best revenue-producing rate, and the range | would be from that down to nothing. | Mr. Cantrell of Kentuck Levy no ve for rev nue only. income tax, from internal tax duties, and then ought to supplement it. so far as may be nec ry, by moderate ve prod- exclusively, and a still higher nue tax on articles of strict Tux- tariff duties on ‘non-competi ucts vy consiruction of battle ery of our party revenue only’—may not be the conven- tional one, but it is, T believe, the one that sound statesmanship suggzests. As 1 interpret that phrase, ‘onl) not the time-worn A tariff for an adverb of purpose. but an adverb of effect, and duties should be laid not ouly for the sole purpose of ob- taining revenue, but so as to have no other effect except to raise revenue.” “And, Whereas, these declarations of policy are being carried into prac- tical effect by the introduction and passage through the house of repre- sentatives, first—by a bill putting up- jgn the free list at a conceded loss of nearly eleven rhillions of revenue fin~ 4 products of which there is a do- production of between two and three billions - of dollars, and second, the reducing to a purely revenue basis the produets 'of the cotton and woolen industries, with a domesNc production aggregating betwean one and two_ bil- lion dollars, as shown by the fact that in the woolen industry the changes in the rates of duty contemplate an in- crease of importations of 84 per cent. and a net reduction in revenue of neariy one and one-half million of dol- lars, and the cotton industry an importations of 37 per in increase of cent, with a net reduction in revenue of more than th and ‘Whereas, in the last political cam- paign the republican platforms of 28 states of the union, to wit,—Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Del- aware, - Tllinois, Indiana, lowa, Kap- Maryland, Massacnusetts, Mich- Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, 7 York, Neorth Caro- .
