There was a general discussion of the proposition, when the matter of expense was raised by Councilman Langworthy, who was of the opinion that the work could not be done within the appropriation. Captain Saunders said the town had 'agreed to replace ‘the walls, but if the council did not wish the state road work to continue, to say o, and mot hold up the con- tractor in his work any longer. The discussion lasted for an hour | or more, with Councilman Langworthy as the chief objector, based on lack of appropriation, in his own opinion. He said that the appropriation wad ade- quate when made, but since then there has been an increase in cost of labor and he did not consider the sum am- ple. After a session of 3 1-2 hours it was voted to instruct the committee 1o get estimates of the cost of the con- templated work and report to a spe- cial council meeting to be held next Saturday evening. It was also voted to defer action on the matter of exempting the Westerly Sl company from taxation untll the special” meeting, as the mill property has not yet been formally transferred to the company by the trustees. | The ltalians of Westerly are i public observance of us day, on an even more elabora scale than the demonstration of Jasi ;eu There will be a parade of the talian societies, a public meeting with re- | speeches and music, and a grand py- rotechnic display in the evening, The following have been selected as a committee to have charge of the cel- ebration and to arrange all the de. talis, Joseph S.

The members of the state board of roads and Frank W. Coy, after a short fonsultation, came to a satisfactory agreement in regard to taking a part of Mr, Coy's property for the {mprove- ment of the Shore road. Mr. Coy ex- preesed a willingness to give so much ©f his property as was required for the straightening and widening of the highway, simply insisting that the Toad be made straight along his prop- erty line, and that the sharp corners in the original lay-out be eliminated. This was acceptable to the state board and will make the highway four Tods shorter than heretofore, =~ Sur- veyors were at work on the new lay- out in that section, Tuesday, and when the plans are completed the work of rebuilding the highway will go for- ‘ward as rapidly as possible, so far as M», Coy and the state board are con- cerned. The highway committee of the Westerly town council recently de- cided to leave the eptire matter of ad- justment between the state board and .

Granted on Tuesday—Capt. Murray Stops a Runaway. & The long awaited decision of the special water commission, appointed | _ April 4 to hear evidence ang fix a value at which the ¢ity of Putnam should take over the plant and prop- erty of the Putnam Water company, was filed In the superior court here Tuesday. The. commission{*finds the value to be $240,000, plus the value of such sup- plies ‘or piping as may have been ac- quired by the water company since the first of last January. This is in excess of the $212,000 that the city of- fered the water company for the plant but substantially less than the $300,000 price at which the water company held the property. Under the terms of the special leg- isative act of the general assembly of 1905, elther* party to the proceed- ings have fourteen days to flle a rem- onstrance Jpeinst the accepting the report, such a remonstrance to be made to the superior court, and a longer time than the fourteen days may De agreed upon by the parties for the filing of such a remonstrance. If there should be such a remonstrance from either party and the matter came up for a hearing in the superior court, elther party has the right of appeal- ing to the supreme court from the de- cision on the remonstrance. The erms of the special legislative ‘act also provide in case of disagreement as to the value fixed for the property by the commission that has filed its report for a re-hearing of the evidence before the same commission or anoth- er_that might be appointed. ‘Whether or not there will be a re- monstrance, either from the city or the water company, could not be positively learned Tuesday, but from Informa- | tlon gathered from city officials and attorneys in touch with the water company's side of the matter, there seemed better than an even chance that the value fixed will be accepted by both gides. This is, of course, un- certain, however, at the present time. ' The Commission’s Finding. The fmportant part of the text of the finding of the special commission, made up of Judge Silas A. Robinson of Middletown, Charles E, Chandler, C.B., of Norwich, and Robert A. Cairng, C.E, of Waterbury, is as follows: First: That all of the property con- tained In sald schedules and described with more detail In the schedules set out In the defendants Exhibit 35, be- longs to the water plant of said Put- nam Water company, and should be sold by saig Putnam Water company and purchased by the city of Putnam. Second: That any, property in/the nature of supplies or piping acquired by the company since January 1, 1912, on hand or in use at the date of sale, shall, pursuant to a stipulation of counsel, covering as well the value and the amount thereof, be reckoned as a part of the property of said plant, to be sold by the defendant and purchas- ed by the plaintiff at a valuation thus determined. Third; The value placed by the committee upon the property to be sold by sald Putnam Water company and purchased by' the city of Putnam is $240,000, plus such sum as shall be determined to be the value of the supplies and piping, to be fixed by stipulation of counsel as hereinbefore set forth. Fourth: In reaching said valuation the committee has considered the character and location of the plant, the community served by the distribu- tion system, the value of the lands, the value of the site of the proj d lorage reservoir, the value of the uildin, the value of the dam and its system of filters, the value of the machinery and distribution system, the defects, the changes needed for the reasonable improvement, and the prob- able results of such changes; and also considered the expense of operation, and the opinions of the experts who testified. Fifth: The committee has heard and conaidered the evidence concerning the cost of reproduction of the plant at the present time, and has’ also con- sidered that the plant is a going con- Water Company’s Plant—Text of the Bravely vigor. it!

STOPPED A RUNAWAY. of Instant Death. All the extraordinary courage with which Capt. .John Murray of the Put- nam police has long been accredited flashed to the surface and thrilled a hundred people just before four o'clotk Tuesday afternoon. when he tackléd a rinaway horse that was plun among” the' vehicles hitched along the ‘front of the Mullan build- ing, and though he was thrown to the ground bemeath 'the excited horse, which looked as if it would fall on him, /he clung like gfim death, which many who gaw the incident believed Police Capt. John Murray Took Chance i cern and that its distribution of water has been increasing. It has also tak- en into account the earning capacity of the plant, and its gross and net annual earnings (making _allowance for appreciation) up to the first day of January, 1912; and has also considered the fact that the defendant water campany has an established business built up at the risk of private oapi- tal, after much labor, during a period of twenty-six years; and has further considered the powers of the state and for a minute had been visited upon the brave officer. The horse, an exceptionally large and heavy animal, is the of the Adams Express company and was hitched to one of their deltvery wag- ons, It ran from the railroad stagion, dragging e heavy welght from it bit.
