NORWICH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1911 _ Railroad Improvements at Westerly To Begin at Once, Providing Employment for all Labor- ers who Apply—Superintendent Cousins Starts Nor- wich-Westerly-Ashaway Farewell Gift for Organist Dunhamv-fieputy Chief Brown will Accept Promotion if Offered. Preparations for the work to be done in rallroad improvement in Westerly, which includes the elimina- tion of the Canal street crossing, are | well under way and within a few days there will #e something doing in that vicinity. The contract for the under- ground cement work, which includes the foundation for the bridge piers, has heen awarded to Ryan & Kehoe, who have just completed a larze contract at BPorchester, Mass. The force of laberers s being increased daily in the Dixon Hill excavation and before the week ends all laborers who can be werked te advantage will be employed. It Is Belisved much of the work be- tow the surface will be completéd be- fore the greund becomes frozen and that the genmeral work cam be carried on all through the winter. Shacks for the lakerers are being erected and will be azranged for winter habitation. All the additienal land required for the proposed improvements except what is kmewn as the heef house property has heen acquired, and this piece will be taken wver By the railroad company as soon as seme of the details in regard te the transfer are adjusted. Superintendent Cousins came to Westerly from Norwich on the first trip early Monday morning and di- rected the moving of the cars on the new schedule of the Norwich and Westerly Traction and the Ashaway and Westerly Street Railway compa- nies. The general service between Westerly, Ashaway and Norwich will be improved; it is expected that un- der she new schedule the service will e superior te any other schedule that has been adepted since these trolley roads have been in operation. There will be no more long waits In Wester- ly. as the same cars that ceme from Norwich make the trips to Ashaway from Westerly and return. As is usual whenever there is change in schedule, there were seme disappointments M¥on- day to these who had no knowledge of the change of running time of the cars. Rowland W. Dunham, for several vears or t and .choirmaster at Christ Episcepal church, who resigned to zo te St. Ann’s Episcopal ehurch in Washington, B. C., left Westerly Sun- | day to assume his new duties. Before his departure, and as a memento of friendship, the members of the choir and church officials gave him an ele- zant silver jardinere suitably inscrib- ed. ‘The presentation was made by Rev. Willlam F. Willlams and Mr. Dun- ham accepted in remarks of sincerest appreciatien. Me. Dunham has been succeeded by Robert Valentine of Beston, who was at the organ at the Sund. services. Mr. Dunh: came to Westerly from Sst. s iscopal church at New- ton Lower Falla, Mass. He was a piano student unpder Mr. Lincoln at the New Engtand Conservatory of Music and was aduated In ergan in 1907 after studying under the Instructien of Henry M. Dunham. He then took a post-gradwate course under Wallace Goodrich. Rev. |I. F. Lusk, former pastor of Grace Methodist church, Westerly, now pastor at Gardiner, Me.,, is much terested In the Deaconess’ institute which was opened In that city last waek, and was prominent in the dedi catory exercises under the direction of the Woman's Home Missionary society and the Ladies’ Aid sooiety of Pastor Lusk’s church. The late Miss Lucy M. Amee, whe made the home possible, was an active member of the Methodist church. She left quite a large sum of money to the church. Judge Williams held a session of the Third district court Monday mornina | for the trial of three men who were charged with intoxication and whe pleaded guilty, One was a weaver em- oloyed at the JWhite Rock mill, 40 vears of age, wHo admitted that he had been arrested several times for drunk- enness in Westerly and in New TL.on- den. He had been arrested twice since Triday and his fine and costs tataled $90.60, which he paid. Fihe furnishedC $9.80, which he paid. He promised the judgs he would reform, after the er- rers of his way were plainly illustr: ed Wy the judge, and after being re- minfled that if he was found drunk in Westerly again there was liability of the charge of common drunkard that would mean a long term in the state wetkhouse. Awother man, aged 35 employed by James Palmer of Stonington, who wa arrested in Wilcox park Sunday, w fined $2.40. He said it was the firs time he had heen arrested and that he would never give occasion for arr again. He was very drunk when rested and during the night he feil from his plank bed te the concrete floor of the cell he occupied and re calved. two severe abrasions, one over the ¥ight eye and the other on the lef cheekbone. The third man whe appeared before the ceurt declated that he was 61 vears of age, that he was employed by Willlam Leudon and that it w: the first time he was ever taken in custody by a police officer. He was also arrested in Wilcox park while in the ecompany of the man from Ston- ingtem and who formerly worked for Mr. Louden. FHe also promised to re- form. Fine and costs of $2.40 were imposed. It is understood that a majority of the town council is favorable io t promation of Deputy Chief Thor Brown to be chief of police of Wes erly. Mr. Brown has served on ihe foree for 17 years and all the council- men whe have been questioned have declared in favor of the promotion plan. The new chief will probably be appointea at the next meeting of fhe tewn council, which will e held Mon- day. There are several candidates for appeimtment te the vacancy created by the death of Chief Bransfield and it is prebable that a new member of the foree will We appointed at the meeting Monday. There was a rumer in eirculation afternoon that Deputy Chief did, net desire promotion. Mr. Brewn was asked in relation teo the rumor and said: “I dom’t want to talk much on the matter, as the gentlemen of the town council, T presume, knew my positfon.
