] N MAY 8, 1912 Westerly Gouncil Grants Franchise Trolley. Road to Weekapaug 1st—Tax Exemptions to tile Rock Mill—Seriously Injured. to Be Completed By October Parks Jewelry Co. and to Tex- Co.—Michael Tosceano Caught in Gears at White i hpere was an adjourned meeting of the Westerly town council Tuesday evening for the farther consideration of the petition of the Westerly and Connecticut Railway company for franchise to extend their electric road grom Pleasant View to Weekapaug, which s practically an extension of franchise granted three years ago and which expired by limitation; also for permission to tonstruct a power trans- mission line outside of the compact part of the town. The new franchise vides that the work be completed Oct. 1, 1912, and the only other change of importance is a change from 70 to 60 pound rails to be used in the extension. The franchise is a lengthy document and the plans of the com- yany are as explained to the council at the meeting Monday. Robert W. Perkins, treasurer, stated that the sub-station would be located nead the Maxtuxet brook on the land opposite now owned by Tristam D. Babeock, the other proposed site being on land of Frederick D. Babcock. The fares will be five cents from the rail- way station to Mastuxet brook and five sents to the pavilion site. This plmuan will be quite a dis- tance from the present colony at Pleas- ant View, so that no objection could be raised by present property owners. The ~gfare sone from Pleasant View to Week- @ paug is to be five cents. Mr. Per- Kins said local concerns were figuring on the plans for the new pavilion, which will be modern in every respect and will include bath houses. It will be 2 place built espectally for the ac- ‘commodation of the public and for free use. The council voted unanimously in favor of granting the franchise and Mr. Perkins said the work would be com- menced just as soon as the working materfal conld be conveyed to the deach. The matter of exempting new indus- tries from taxation was then taken u It was voted to grant eight years' ex emption to the George W. Parks Jew- elry company that recently purchased the property formesly occupied by the Westerly Narrow Fabric company. Mr. Parks askel for ten years' exemption, but as two years had been enjoyed by the former owners the term of exemp- tlon was made eight years, the ex- emption to date from May 7, 1812 Councilmen Fiynn, Langworthy and Culley advocated the eight years' term and I* was unanimously adopted. There is a standing vote that the town councll is authorized to exempt all new industries from taxation for & period of ten years. The petition of James A. Murphy for @ druggist Jiquor license in the Martin house block was withdrawn, as the place has been closed by foreclosure of ® small mortgage held by Mrs. Graf, owner of the buildi The petition of the Westerly Textile eompany for exemption from taxation for ten years was next considered. This mew company has purchased the brick mill and the stone mill in Main street and asked exemption for that pfoperty and machine ess. v said he did anything in the way es, but a bad precedent shed, and there is no reason why ie new owners of the Westerly woolen mill property should not come to the council for exemption, He believed the plan of the Bradford copcern to be fair and honorable. That concern agreed to pay the taxes as at present assessed and were exempted upon th: mew bufidings and plants. Exemptions were made in the Potter, Hil and Piks industries, when new buildings were not erected, and the blished. Mr. Langwor- 3 izens who favored the ten years' cxemption. He said he owned a buflding in Main street that coula be sold tn advantage for a new frdustry it the ten years' exemption frem taxation was guaranteed Councflmen Flynn, Maxson and Cul- ley spoke on'the matter and gave ex- pression favorable to new industries, but thet the financial interests of the town should be safeguarded. The talk indicazed that public sentiment was not favorable to_exemption of tho | to the nd h\h property, but was favorab! emption of the machiaery ness. Mr. Flynn suscestsd that if exemp- tion be given it be for ail above a tain sum on pr. y the same ba as the Bralifor: ern. The prop- erty would be assessod for about $ 000 and be suggester that exemption be given above $15,000. It was voted that the Westerly Tex tile company be exempted from tax tion for ten years in excess of $15,000. _The Lehigh Valtey Siik company pe- tition for exemption from taxation for five years was then considered. This eompany leases the building and is as- wessed for & tax of §1,000 on personal property. Mr. Fiyne said from 40 to 80 are employed in thie mill and that wmmadl industries are what buikl up a town. If this company purchased the buikling the town would be deprived of taxes on the property. Mr. I worthy sald that oould not be 8 4 ne windustry, as it was al operation and had not been heavily taxed. The assessors made due allow- &nce as a men of sncouragement. Councilman Saunders declared that #€ astablish »d manufacturing concerns wrere to be refieved from the payment of taxes, ho knew of other concerns 1hat would demand like treatment. On motion of Mr. Flynv, this petition wes tabled until next Friday for far- ther consideration. Louig A. Barber was granted a drv giat's liguor license to expire M: " 1913; license was also issued to Oscar ©. Stott, to August Larsen and to Wiltam J. Bannon for the Main street store, Heense for the Watch Hill store to be lssued later, when drugwist Ii- cense for that piace is granted by the state board of pharmacy.
