At ten o'clock Thursday morning, Moderator Eugene B. Pendleton stood behind the desk of the town hall and sald: “Freemen of the town of West- erly will pleage come to order, and the clerk will read the call for this special town meeting,” and, of course, Town Clerk Whipple complied. The first matter brought up was the introduction of a vote to repeal the tax vote passed at annual financial town meeting which fixed the rate on all taxable property at $1.50 in each $100. The vote was repealed and an- other tax rate was substituted. It was voted that the rate on tangible property be $1.50 on each $100 as here- tofore, and that the rate on intangi- ble property be 40 cents imstead of $1.50, in order to comply with the new state tax law. Then came the proposition to sell to the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Railroad Co. a portion of the town farm. Clerk Whipple explained that the rallroad company desired a strip of land along the edge of the farm to establish a siding, but had not yet completed the pian, deemed advisable to take action at the gpecial town meeting &0 as not to make another meeting necessary for that specific purpose. A vote was passed giving the town council the authority to make the transfer provided it could be done without detriment to the town farm. The town of Westerly owns some marshland about midway between Pleasant View and Weekapaug, and the sale of this land was included in the official call. Attorney Everett A. Kingsley stated that the matter in question concerned the disposal of about an acre and a half of marsh land, which was completely covered by water at high tide. He sald a ient wanted to buy this submerged land end presented n vote authoriz ing the town treasurer to dispose of the property by public austion or pri- so it was | Special Town Mesting At Westerly, Votes to Sell Wanted Strip of Land to New Haven Road— Change in Tax Rate Adopted—Marshland May be Sold —$5,000 For Improving Road From Pleasant View to Weekapaug—$10,000 For Grading Around New Town Hall—Supt.

He was informed that the | |land was sold to the town in connec- tlon with the town farm, and was pur- chased for the marsh hay privilege, and is of no value now for such pur- pose. Dr. M. H. Scanion asked as to the identity of the prospective purchaser and the price thet would be satisfy- ing. Mr. Kingsley sald he was not at Nb- erty to disclose the name of his cli- ent. The vote specified that the prop- erty may be sold at public auction, and bring a price more than his client would pay. Frederick C. Buffum asked to what use the property was to be utilized, and Mr. Kingsley replled that he was not at liberty to divulge. Mr. Buffum said that if the sale would result in an Increase of the taxable property of the town, for a hotel or something of that sort, or anything that would add to the value and progress of Pleasant | View, he was in favor of the trans- { fer. | Mr. Kingsley replied that if the sale was effected to his client the taxable property of the town would be in- creased, but that he could not state the purpose at this time. _John W, Sweeney asked if there was intention to use the property for a fer- tiling plant or anything of that Iind, Mr. Kingsley replied that there was no such intent, but the change would be a desirable added attraction to Pleas- ant View, TUpon motion of Mr, Buffum the vote authorizing the sale was adopted, It 1s probable that the property 18 desired by the Norwich & Westerly Traction company, or subsidiary, and will be utilized as a place of amuse. ment In conjunction with tha pavilion, Swimming pools could be established for children, shoot the chutes estab- s o 3 e e e e e, Is lying on the You have to boil a beefsteak, You have to boil 2 ham, You have to fry a whitefish And roast a leg of lamb.

Attorney Arthur B. Crafts made a long plea in favor of the project. He referred to the rapid growth and future prospects of Pleasant View and asked that appro- priation he made rather as an invest- ment than as an obligation to the tax payers of Pleasant View. He said thirty new bulildings had been erected there during the year that will prob- ably be taxed to bring a revemue to the town of about $700. The town is asked to buily the highway from Pleasant View to Weekapaug at an expense of.about $5,000. This sum could be hired at 4 per cent. a year, and yleld a good profit to the town es an investment. He had no doubt { but this new highway would result in the erection of cottages all along the line, as the highway would be parallel with the trolley road. He predicted | that within five years every dollar laid out by the town would be repaid and without the present taxpaying prop- erty paying out one cent for the im- Drovement, but that it would all come from the new taxpayers. The lots there are not now accessible, but would be made 80 by the new high- way. He stated that the taxpayers of Pleasure View were not recelving any school beneflts or A)olice protection, but they were entitled to some municipal recoguition, though there was already a supply of city water, the best in the world, and electric light and trolley service, more than the most sanguine could dream of even nine years ago. Mr. Crofts said that the highway des- ignated on maps is Atlantic avenue, was laid out years ago and that now the town was ed to make this |hlghway a The people at lPleasant View wanted a road thirty | feet wide, so that there would be am- {ple room for automobile traffic, and did not want it done by halves, but by whole, With this highway and the at- tractions to be offered by the Norwich & Westerly Traction company will at- tract at least 2,000 daily to Pleasant View and just a few of these will like the place s0 well that they will buy lots and bulld cottages and add to the grand Jist of the town, After referring in glowing terms to the nat- ural and safe beach, he urged the tax- payers present to do the right thing and not on such an economic basis that it will be folly, Samuel H, Davis made a motion that the sum of $5,000, or so much thereof @8 may be necessary, be apportioned for the repair of Atlantic avenus from Pleasant View to Weekapaug, under the direction of the town council, with recommendation that the road be at least 22 feet in widdth. Capt. William F, Saunders, a large property owner at Pleasant \/iaw, was oppos to the motion as made by Mr. Davis. He said if the road was to be 22 feet in width the cost would be between $10,000 ang $15,000. He wanted to have the road built right, 50 that later on the road would be in condition for the modern tar dress- ing. He offered a subsiitule motion { that a committee of three be appeint- 1ed to investigate the whole matter, and to sscertain if the abutting own- ers will do the greding and prepare { the road for gravel and report to & future meeting of the freemen of Westerly., Mr, Crofts spoke in oppostion, and | clalmed that the towm council was better qualified to act than any spe- cial committee, Then followeg & long discussion in which Messrs. Crofts and | Saunders were joined by Thomas H. Peabody, John W. Sweeney and Milo { M. Clarke. When Mr, Saunders real- | ized that his propositton was not fa- vored, he guggested ghat ihe asked for appropriation be doubl as this | sum would be necessary to build the two miles and a quarter of highway through sand and with gravel e long distance away. The vote offered by Mr. Dixon appropriating $5,000 was finally adopted. Town Treasurer James M. Pendiston explained the item in the oall that asked for appropriation for grading about the town hall and for furnish- ing the building when completed. Mr. Pendleton satd that the town had ap- propriated $80,000 for the comstruo- tion of a new town hall and had au- thorized the issuance of bonds for that purpose. There was a question as to whether the grading could be consid- ered a part of the construction, and to avold ambiguity an appropriation was asked. It wae not contemplated to ask for an additional doilar of ex- pense in connection with the town hall nor go beyond the $80,000 appropriat- ed, but would return a substantial bal. ance, He has expected to make a re- port of the actual cost of the bulld- ing at the meeting, but delays beyond the power of the committes, in re- gard to contract for ventilation, heat- ing and lighting prevented, He offer- ed a vote appropriating $10,000 for grading around the town hall and for the furnishings, provided the whole cost of the building complete will not exceed $80,000. The vote was unani- mously adopted. A vote was offered authorizing the town ocouncil to ascertain if the town had any Interest in the land known as Champlin’s wharf, off the Watch Hill road, near Thompson's cove; and, if it were found that the town did own any part of the property that same be leased to the Westerly Yacht club. This motion brought forth argument from Alexander C. Thompson, Harry B. Agard, Milo M. Clarke, Samuel H. Davis and Thomas H. Peabody. The vote was amended eliminating that part of the vote that referred to lease to the yacht club, and the motion to ascertain ownership prevailed The' town treasurer was authorized to hire such money as may be neces- sary to meet the appropriations made at the meeting.
