N NORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1912 “GURRENT TOPICS IN WESTERLY ) Change of Vote Returns Stonington to Republican Column— Majority For License a Surprise-——Westerly Catholic Club Holds Annual Meeting—Awning Fire Probably Caused by Cigarette Carelessly Thrown—Republican Committees Organize. town of Stonington has been re dtofi.fi by the people to the republican column by gaining the majority of the board of selectmen, Stahle in the vil- lgge and Pawcatuck, and Wilcox of Mystle. The tninority member is Holdredge of Mystic. This means that ‘Willjam H. Casey, deposed as patrol- man by the democratic board of sélect- men, can be reinstated to that place in Pawcatuck for the asking, hut it 18 understood that he will not accept the place, unless through pressure of the appointing power. His duties as deputy sheriff and his business Inter- ests have so increased since he ceased t0 be patrolman that he is not seek- ing reappointment. A year ago when Casey was re- lea: from police patrol duty, Se- lectman Chesebro. of Pawcatuck was of the ugamomtlc Igaj:gity, but fa- ored 1 change. s on was ap- ;rovd ‘by a few democrats, but the Daigpiy of the people of the village vored the retention of Casey in rec- ognition of his many years of faithful though they bore no ill will against Patrolman Keegan, his suc- cessor. ~. When Selectman Chesebro handed Mr, Casey the note of dismis- #al, Casey remarked that publlc opin- fon on the action would be given when the selectman was a candidate for re- - @lection.) Mr, Chesebro was defeated at the election Monday, although he ‘was electeq -a representative to the state legisalture two years ago and is a candidate for renomination. Casey dld‘ not do It all, but he helped, just & little, The town of Stonington also voted to return to the liquor license column and by a majority of about 200, so large ‘that it came as a surprise to even the most sanguine adherents of the open saloon. Kven the village of Pawcatuck, which in former years, with the aid of Mystic, the Head of the River, and d districts, polled ) sufficlent”’to ‘overcome the large vote of Stonington borough, ‘voted ‘for license Monday by a ma- Jority of 94. For nearly a quarter of & century the village of Pawcatuck has voted against license and with the assistance of the other districts except Stonington, has permitted enly inter- mittent legal' sale of liquor in the town, On Monday, not only Pawca- tuck, but Mystic as well, fell in line with Stonington and overcame the vote in the other two districts on the license question. Usually when li- cense. did prevall it was by a close vote. The town has ,at times, Vot In favor of no-license by 300 majority, and the vote of Monday for license is sald to be the largest ever Ppolled. - There were licenses granted for Pawactuok the year bet last, to Mesers, Keleher, Mahoney, Cella, Hal- pin, Tattersall and Neville. One of these is now deceased, and probably not more than two will be among the applicants for liquor license. There was an unsuccessful effort made at that time to locate saloons in the vi- cinity of St. Michael's church and #chool, but the county commissioners . recognized the justice of the protests, siénd decided that the saloons must be " located in the business section of the village, where they would be within ,mllu patrol supervision. So it is be- ved the same ruling will prevail when , liquor licenses for the ensuing year are issued. Thig is in marked contrast to the sonditions which prevail in Westerly, whigh went license for a first time two years ago. With the exception of the Martin house saloon and the Dixon house bar, all licensed liquor dealers in the village, with the exception of one on Quarry hill, are located. be- tween the tracks of the New York, New' Haven Hartford Railroad Co. and ' the Pawcatuck river. The li- censes for two hotels at Watch hill are not included and they are the only licensed places in the Second district of the town of Westerly. By population, the town is entitled ' to eighteen licenses, and the full num- ‘ber wag Issued by the town council at $700 ‘each, $250 more than is paid for Ncemse in Pawcatuck, just across the bridge in Connecticut. The license question will be voted on at the No- | vember, election in Westerly. Here- atter, the license question will be vot- ed upon biennially. Therefore, should the voters of Westerly favor license at the coming election, it-will mean two years' license instead of ' one, Cottolene makes delicious pastry E— TR It’s the last word in pastry- making. It makes cakes so light and airy that every mor- sel tastes like “more.” Digestible too, because Cot- tolene food is never greasy. Cottolene” is better than lard, because it’s a vegetable —rnot an animal—product. It is richer—use one-third less. Cottolene is cheaper than butter—costs no more than lard, and will give better re- sults than either. Use one- thirdless than = butter also. Cottolene is never sold in bulk — al- - ways in air-tight tin pails, which pro- tect it from dirt, dust and odors. It is always uniform 'nd dependable. THE N. K.

Chief Brown, with the aid of Policeman Fer- guson, tore the awning down and extinguished the blaze before the ar- rival of fire apparatus, Within ten minutes after the alarm was sounded Chief Engineer Cottrell sent in the recall.
