" Peaches Starting in Well The trafic regulations in Westerly are generally respected owing to the police vigilance, but once in a while some thoughtiess driver leaves his car neaded in an illegal direction and dis- appears from the view of police offi- cers. Wednesday morning there was a law-offending car in front of the First Baptist church and it was there for half an hour before the owner ap- peared. Policeman Ferguson was there, too, to give the offender warn- ing not to repeat the offense and to hand him a priated copy of the traf- fic reguiations. Councilman Francis G. Haswell, chairman of the highway committee, was the offender and was politely reprimanded by the poiice of- ficer, who added that the example set by the councilman was not of the kind that should be emulated. In this, the councilman agreed, and promised com- pliance with the law in the future. —— A fiw of the construction fo of the Norwich and Westerly Traotion company, commenced ‘ednesday morning to remodve a section. of the track in Broad street which terminates at the Westerly High school, and is in part compiiance with the orders of the town oouncil to remove all tracks from ~Broad street and Dixon square, except those of the main line, thersby changing the terminal from the square to the railway station. Only the track that extends from the schoolhouse to a point just above the main entrance to the Memorial build- ing will be removed at this time, so that the increased summer traffic will not be inconvenienced. The. segtion of trackage in Broad mtreet is paved with granite blocks between the rails and for eighteen inches on the outside, while the bal- ance of the street is of macadam con- astruction. The trolley company will be required to leave the part of the street now occupied by its tracks in as good condition as the rest of the roadbed, and that will be very easy and not expensive, as the road is al- ready In poor condition. The paving blocks and rsils taken from Broad street will be utilized in the construc- tion of the nmew turnout in Rallroad avenue. It is understood that at the close of the summer season, the work will be resumed of removing the trackage in Dixon square, which is objectionable to the members of the town eoumcil ANl the young thieves of Westerly are not yet in the state institutions, although they are committed there in.blocks of five. At least two are at Jarge and they are the boys who pur- Jolned from a storehouse in the rear of the H. B. Gavitt company store in Pawcatack. These boys were not par- tieular what they stole provided it was of brass or some salable material, for they took the four brass wheels ‘with rubber tires from a casket truck and part of a sflver rail used on a hearse. The robbery was reported to’ Patroiman Shelby Nicholas, who sus- pected ‘two small boys residents of the Pierce street section of Westerly. The assistance of Officers Mitchell and Ferguson, of the Westerly police force, ‘was seught The boys were soon lo- eated and the brass wheels of the casket truck recovered. The boys made an umsuccessful aftempt to sell the wheels to a junk dealer, so they said, but denied the theft of the silver rall The boys have not yet been arrested. Some esrpenier tools and other ar- ticles were stolen from the same place and, perhaps, by the same boys, who say they expected to sell the brass Dixon Square—Thefts by Small Boys—Season at the t+for trial in the Second district court X wheels and get meney to go to the moving picture shows. | The principal modern public con- | veniences . available, superior water system, eleotric lights, telephone and trolley service available, together with beautiful .and healthful surroundings and modernly equipped hotels and cot- tages, makeés the present season more Successful at Watch Hill and Week- apaug and even Pleasant View, bet- ter than ever before. While nearly all the cottages at Watch Hill are rented at advanced rates there are many un- occupied cottages at Narragansett Pien Those at Weekapaug are nearly all Tented. The severe storm damage at Pleasant View has had no effect on the summer patronage and there is a demand beyond the supply for cot- tages at that rapidly growing resort. ‘While Watch Hill is becoming more fashionable and exclusive as time goes on, still its popularity l:as not declined with '.h}pe who have the opportunity to spend a day at the shore. Week- . is bordering on theé ex- ne, as the summer residents of these resorts are of the wealthy class. But Pleasant View, located be- tween Watch Hill and Weekapaug. is visited by people of the so-called mid- dle class, not real wealthy, but pos- sessed of just enmough to be enabled 1o enjoy the pleasures of life, among them a stay at the shore, where they can enjoy the sea breeze, the marine and country views, and still not be deprived of the main modern public conveniences. Present conditions at the beaches of the town of Westerly avgur well for a prospective season. A motor-driven delivery car owned by Colonel Dick, manager of the Watch Hil'! house, was wrecked at ‘Watch Hill Wednesday morning. In making a turn around a sharp cormer the tire of one of the forward wheels ‘was torn partailly off and the car was thrown over -on its side and consider- the car was the driver and he was thrown out, his —only injuries being ably damaged.
