NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1914 TALKED ABOUT AT WESTERLY Temporary Postoffice Building to Remain and Be Utilized as Four Stores—Harold S. McClellan Named as First Al- ternate For Cadetship—Funeral of Mrs. Hiram Edmeond The ote-sioly wooden buliding erect- ed in Hish street as a temporary post office while the new past office building was being constructed is now in the permanent class. For the amount of money invested it will probably be the best payiag property in the town of Westerly. Since the building wa erected two years ago it was rente to the government equipped as a post office, the owners bei the lessors of the old past office building and equip- ment. In addition a store in one end of the building was rented to milliners. The remtal already received goes a long way towards paying for the cost of construction, and it has been a pay- ing investment to the owwers from the start. Tt is now planned to have three small stores located in the section formerly utilized as post office, which with the millinery store makes four stores in one of the most desirable locations in the town. One of these stores will be devoted to the smale of flowers, the other to tea, coffee, spices and candy and the third to automobile supplies, the fourth remalning as a millinery store. The revenue from the building under the new plan will be even great- er than when leased to the federal government. While the one-story frame building Is on a site that should be covered with a big business block, in keeping with the general progress of the town, and is in no way an or- nement to the business section: It is 2 money-maker and will probably re- mein as it is for a long time. Harold 8. McClellan of Westerly, has hy hard study and preparation, un- aided by political or other influenc: earned recogmition in the competlitive examination for a cadets] at the United States Naval academy. Al- though he did not succeed as princi- pal, he is named as first alternate. Congressman Gerry, who placed the appointment in a competitive test, has been notified by the civil 1 mission that Philip H. Hamilton, has been nsmed prin- cipal and Harold S. McClellan of W\ terly and Paul J. Loeget of Prov dence as first and second alternates, respectivelv. They will now take the examinations for admisston to | pcademy in their order of standing and one will be officially appointed. The unsuccessful candidates were Jeseph V. McKenna, Herman B. Har- rington, George A. Chandler, Martin J. A. Gannon and Ernest C. Smith, all of Providence. Senator Le Baron Colt has appoint- ed Albert Norman Into to a cadetship in the naval academy. He is son of Captain Michael Into, a yachting skip- er of Bristol, Paunl D. Dingwell of Pawtucket, who was appointed by Congressman Ken- nedy, was one of the sixty-four to pass the mental examination of the aca- demie board of the naval academy. In a class of 200 only sixty-four secured the necessary percentage for admis- sion. He is the first alternate for appointment, Former Postmaster Eugene B. Pen- dieton during a paroxysm of his pe- gultar funnyisms, said something like this Friday: “Things are not as the 1sed to be post-officewise in Wi terty. People used to be content to go to the combined post office and grocery store and wait for their mail, while the postmaster cut a bar of soap n two with a string, or until he filled a jug with molasses for some credit customer and while the charge was made to complete the transaction to that point. Nowadays the people are hardly contented with the excellent letter carrier service, with the mod- ernly equipped marble post office build- ing end two janitors, for besides the ocal post office has two Butlers.” Local Laconics.
