ey * MATTERS INTERESTING WESTERLY Result of Contest for Trophy at Rumford Range—Disposition of Old Town Hall a Problem—Balanced Stone Wall to Be Built on Shore Road—Bowling Alleys in Memorial Building Given Up to Library Stack Room. In the contest for the championship company trophy of the First district, Rhode Island National guard, which was held at the state rifle range at Rumford Tuesday, the Fifth compeny, ‘Westerly, was not disappointed. This .compaay team was the only one con- testing that was strange to the Rum- ford range and equipment, as all prac- .tice work was done on the range at Westerly, while all the other teams practiced at Rumford, and with the .rifles used on that range. The matci was open to teams of six men and with this distance: Rapid fire at 200 yards and slow fire at 600 yards. This was the first time that rapid fire was included in any of the annual compe- titions, and a large percentage of the K7 rs were new in that practice. The Seventh company won the tro- - phy with a total score of 414, but the _highest score was made by a team from the ordnance department, 433, but ‘which was not competitor for the com- pany trophy. The Second comvany scored 892, Third company 380, Fourth company 379, led by Captain Wells, who scored 76, First company 377, staff First district 374, Major Nash leading with 61, Sixth company 336, ¢/Fifth company of Westerly 328 and h hth company 201. gy e score In detail of the Fifth com- pany is as follows: First Sergeant George Stillman—200 yards, rapid fire, 4 300 0 4 4 2 0 0—17; 600 yards, 2 420 2 4 0 4 4 3—25; total 42.

The effects of wodd alcohol or de- natured alcohol have been so disas- trbus in Westerly and other places in Rhode Island that according to the . rullng of the board of food and drug . commissioners it must not be used in + any medicinal preparation for any ex- ternal or internal use in the state. Secretary John B. Groff of the com- . mission says that the ruling includes both crude and purified wood alcohol It has come to the attention of the commission that people have an idea that purtfled wood alcohol is not dan- erous. Mr. Groff says there 18 no /difference so far as the safety is con- 1 cerned and that wood alcohol in all particularly to heir tomle, bay rum and witch hazel, in which the poison- ous forms of alcohol have been used ‘.in such preparations to a considerable P There is a rumor current at Watch Hill, says a Providence paper, that one of the larger hotels at that pros- perous summer resort has been sold to _the Messrs.

Some day excursionists still make Watch Hill their objective point, but much of this business has been divert- ed to Pleasant View, Atlantie Beach and other attractive resorts in the neighborhood. ‘Watch Hill has grown to be a highly important part of the town of West- erly. It is incorporated as a fire dis- trict, has undertaken extensive com- munity improvements, such as the de velopment of an esplanade along the bay front, and has advanced aesthetic- ally through private enterprise until it is now one of the most charming of New England summer places. But it is more than this. The ten- dency of property holders at the Hill is to stay there longer in the fall. Al- though the crowd vaaishes early in September, an increasing number of the faithful keep their houses open through the beautiful autumn months. Moreover, the village of Westerly is steadily stretching southward along the Pawcatuck and a few years hence there will he no long reaches of open country op the bamnks of that stream. Already there is enough traffic in win- ter as well as in summer to justify the maintenance of trolley service to the Hill, and no doubt the time will come when the place will take on the char- acter of an all-the-year-round resort like Atlantic City. Something of this sort may be seem at Narragansett Pier, where there is a large winter settle- ment. Now that the new town building is nearing completion the fact is realized that the old town hall is a long dis- tance from dilapidation and some are wondering when the old brick struc- ture is vacated and the new granite building occupied what will become of the building on the summit of Cookey Hill. Tt is too valuable a structure to raze and the ground it occuvies is not of value of itself sufficient to warrani demolition, and it is the policy of the | town to retain all public property. As the new town hall is supposed to be adequate for the accommodation of all town officers and for the conduct of the town's business, the old build- ing will not be required for town pur- poses. It has been suggested that thz old town hall building be transferred to the school committee and be utilized as a manual training school. This proposition would add materially to the public expense, and some sar that Westerly is not quite large enough to maintain a lepfirlte training school. Already the school facllitles are of a high standard of excellence and amply adequate for the accommodation of the present school population. The greater part of the money realized from taxation is now devoted to the schools, and there is considerable op- position to any increase in appropria- tion for schools. A considerable sum ‘would be required to fit and equip the town hall building for a manual train- ing school and the cost of maintenance would add materially to the expense of the public school system. The building of what farmers styled years ago balanced stone walls has gradually become a lost art, so to #peak, for the stone walls built today without cement are short lived, stand- ing but a few years in original form unless they receive constant attention and repairs. Baok in the country in this section there are balanced stone walls in good condition that were built by farmers a century or more ago, the materjal being obtained from lands in preparation for tillage. These walls stand just as they were original- ly constructed, with the rocks moss- OV by age, but as substantial as ‘when built. It is evident that the farmers of today consider it a waste of time to build stone walls and instead use the wire and post fence, which answers the purpose, and land that is too rocky for cultivation is abandoned. These facts have been demonstrated by the stone wall work done in con- nectlon with the Watch Hill road im- provement a few years ago and the state work on the Shore road, where there is considerable stone wall build- All this grade of work is being done by Italian workmen who are expert in wall building with the aid of cement, but who seem to be unable to build the old-style, live-forever, balanced stone walls so common in the long agm when cement work was a rarity. Down on the Shore road along tF+1 Coy-Welch property an agreement hay been reached whereby the engineer o! the state board of public roads is to build about 1,500 feet of balanced store wall which he expects to construct at a cost of $6 a rod. Of course it is ex- pected that this will be the best of the kind that”can be comstructed, but, as an aged farmer put it: “Say, it's a bet of carrots to turnips that the new walls can’t be built for any such cash, and it's a bet of onions to cabbage that within two years the walls wiil not be in ag good shape as those built my granddad over 125 years ago. Because the wall builders of today are not on to the kmack of building the genuine balanced stone wall.” The once popular bowling alleys. in the basement of the Memorial building, which for the past three years have been but Ilittle used, are being re- moved and hereafter that large space in the basement will be used as a stack room for the growing lfbrary. In connection with the bowling alley there is a‘well equipped but very little patronized gymnasium, and it is probable that in a few years this will be abandoned and that the basement and first floor of the buflding will be devoted entirely to library purposes.
