Coon, harbor masters; Ed- win L, Gavitt, tree warden; John B. Brown, committee to care for the burial of soldiers. It was voted that the highways of the town be comprised as one hig way district.” On motion of Council- man Craig, President Culley was au- thorized to appoint the highway com- mfttee. He named Councilmen Flynn, “Thomas and Haswell. Mr. Flynn said that while willing to serve on the com- mittee, he declined the chairmanship in favor of Mr, Haswell, who was made chairman of the committee. The bond of the town treasurer and collector was fixed at $25,000 and that of the town clerk at $1,000. Councilmen Culley, Craig and Rob- inson were selected as the commit- tee on street lights. A victualling iicense was granted to the Gavitt Catering company and the application of Thomas Theruso for a like license was held for investiga- tion. Tavern licenses were granted to C. B. Bliven for the Wigwam and ‘Edward B. Langworthy for the Rock Haven and Anne E. sh for the Nar- ragansett house. The jury list was corrected in ac- cordance with law, the only change being the removal of the names of Councilmen Haswell and Craig, who are exempt by reason of membership in tne town council . Judge Barrows of the superior court in a rescript filed Thursday discussed the comparative value between evi- ence obtained by a jury from a view and _opinions from expert witnesses, in the case brought Julia A. Me- Donald against the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rallroad com- pany, which was tried in the superior court for Washington county. It was an action to recover compensation for loss from a woodland fire started by a spark from a pass locomotive which destroved.farm property near Wood River Junction. The “court believes that the verdict should stand as rendered, although it is smaller by $250 than the court it- self would have given on the testi- mony. The plaintiffs motion for a new trial is therefore demied. In ex- planation of the decision allowing the | verdict to stand, Judge Barrows says: | ‘“Many of the jurymen were them selves thoroughly familiar with land | in the neighborhood and.with the va.- | ues of timber and buildings.
