In town elections there is no district dfviding line as that prevails only when representatives to the general assembly are elected which allows one from each of the two districts. The present condition is a mere coincidence but there is a movement for district representation in the town offices. Not that there is any foundation for ad- verse criticism of those holding the offices, and, if any change is made in the June eiection, it will be made by reason of location of residence and not ineffictency. Every person holding office is a republican, for Westerly is @ dyed-in-the-wool republican strong- bold and #s vots is of considerabls importance in close state elections. P There are too many on the outside who attempt to dirsct the work of the firemen of Westerly., Fortunately for the town it has in Chief Samuel G. Cottrell & fireman of long experience, Cottolenc — better than butter for shortening Cottolene makes light, digesti- le food, which any stomach can Cottolene-made food is THE N. K. FAIREANE COMPANY The publication of the fact that all | ceel-headed, and who has the facul- in Two States—New Station ty of getting the best there is out of the department. and his corps of as- sistants are all capable firemen. During the past week there has been half & dozen fircs but the losses were comparatively slight, mostly by smoke and water, and perhaps the loss by water misht have been reduced if more confidence was placeq in the ex- tinguishing power of chemicals, But in each instance the firemen Wwere pone too quick in getting at the site of the fire, owing to the defay in the arrival of the horses which delay is not chargeadle to the firemen. Every member of the Westerly department knows that for chemicals to be effec- tive they must be used in the earlier stage of the fire and when this is mot done the use of water is the only al- ternative and it must be used in abun- dance to be effective. The only part of the fire department that is really open to public criticism is the horse service for which the fire district pays $450 a vear. One o the hose wagons has a chem- ical tank but that wagon cannot leave the house witHout horses and the de- Jay practically makes the chemical fe: ture of the apparatus useless. This could be obviated by purchase of a modern motor-driven chemical and hose wazon that could be on the sround before there was any need for flooding fires with water. The heavy rainfall has caused the Pawcatuck river to overfiow its banks at Stillmanville and vicinity. Indica- tions are that there w be a serfous flood, not only nlong the river route, but also along the many streams that empty int the Pawcatuck. It was the heaviest rainfall since 1899, and for the first forty-eight hours of the storm the precipitation was 5. inches. Alresdy many sections are flooded and Deaple are loaving their homes taking with them their houschold effects, as the waters are gradually rising and it ie delieved will continue to rise for saveral hour: In addition to the damage along the river bank there are many washouts. The water came down Railroad drive in such large force and quantity that it washed away the canal bank and carrieq with it tons of gravel from the roadbed. Already the freshei 1go and will were much more severe and that prevailed twenty or more vears ago, before changes were magde in the level of properties al the river bank. ceeds that of a ve ly equal some t Local Laconics.
