-~ ~ WESTERLY MAN LEFT WEALTH Frank Howe, of Pawcatuck Failed to Make a Will—Broth- er From Jewett City Appointed Administrator, Bond $15,000—Fishing at Pleasant View Expensive. The miscellaneous fund is one of the bandiest and therefore perhaps among the most abused of any .ppropriation made by town or city and is frequently exhausted before the end of the fiscal year| This is due sometimes to the lack of foresightedness on the part of the official body that proposes the budget as is the present case in Wes- terly and again by circumstances that cannot possibly be foreseen. In the call for the special financial town meeting, soon to be issued, there will be provision to make addition to the misceNaneous fund of 1913-1914. The fund is not ample to meet the Babcock annuity of $300, for instance, although this is an established ex- pense to the town. When the so- called Nestor house was deeded to Christ iscopal church it was stip- ulated in the transfer that an annuity of $300 be paid to the grantor, Rev. Edward W. Babcock, or his wife, and to continue so long as either lived, The Nestor house occupied a part of the present town hall property and was transferred by the church to the town of Westerly on terms agreeable to Mr. and Mrs. Babcock, which included con- tinuation of the annuity clause. Another draft on the miscellaneous fund is a_ bill from Attorney Walter Barney, of Providence, for legal ser- vices rendered the town in connection with the Courtland Palmer cases, sev- eral years ago. Then there are sev- eral other drains on the miscellaneous fand in connection with the new town hall. The annual financial town meet- ing will be held in May and by get- ting this added appropriation a month in advance, discussion may be avoid- ed when the regular appropriation is made for the miscellaneous fumnd of 1814-1915. This special town meeting will be heid April 6 and the apparent main purpose is to decide upon the exten- sion of waler service to Weekapaug. This is very much needed and as the property owners there have guaranteed the customary ten per cent Interest on cost of construction, the recom- mendation will probably pass without opposition. This is considered an _opportune time to slide in the addition to the miscelianeous fund, also an appropri- ation for improvement of highways at Watch Hill and for presenting the di- veegence of the appropriation made in the annual town meeting for the im- provement of Atlantic avenue, Pleas- ant View to some other section of the town. Smelts are unusually large and plen- tiful in the Pawcatuck river, yet prices wers never higher, and smelts as scarce in local markets as during the rfeflen( season and the retail price is wentv-two cents a pound. It seems s if there was a local corner in the sh as the river flshermen sell their plete catch to a single dealer and eive fifteen cents a pound, thus giv- g the dealer a clear profit of seven ¢ents a pound, as there is no shrink- ge, no gross, but all net weight in melts. large quantities of the smelts are shipped elsewhere as there is an #vident scarcity even in markets where & dealer controls the supply. It has the appearance of a smelt trust between the fishermen and a sin- gle dealer, wherein the fishermen sell their entire h at an advanced price and the purchaser realizes a handsome profit. Other marketmen are unable to furnish native smelts to customers as it is fmpossible for them to purchase from the weir ermen just now in the business, Frank W.

He came across John Tavior of Westerly duck hunting at Brightman's pond, near Pleasant View. The hunter could not produce a hunting license, but claimed to have taken out a license. Subse- quently Mr. Taylor took out a license, | realizing that his license of 1913 was not réenewed. But as he had no license when detected hunting by Mr. Hen- nessy he was arrested. When arraign- ed before Clerik Clarence Roche in the Third district court a plea of suilty was entered, He was fined $20 and costs of $5.60, which he paid. Judge Elias B. Hinckley of the Ston- ington probate court, held a session in Pawcatuck Tuesday afternoon. Frank Howe, who died recently in Pawcatuck and who was master mechanic of the &£. B.
