STONINGTON Selectmen’s Report Assailed at.Annual Town Meeting—Motion of Henry A. Sterry to Receive Report Did Not Prevail, That there is keen interest in town management was demonstrated by the large attendance at the annual meet- ing, representing all sections of the town, from Pawecatuck to Mystic, in- clusive, and which was held for the first time in the evening. The meet- ing was held in Borough hall Monday and was called to order by Town Clerk Elias B. nHickley. Benjamin F. Hewitt was chosen moderator. There were 23 propositions for con- sideration in the official call, and they were taken up in order. In nearly ev- ery instance there was discussion be- fore final action. ‘These reports were adopted: Reports of highway commissioner, of the town traesurer, treasurer of town deposit fund, trustees of the Richmond fund, of the school committee, the health of- The selectmen were authorized to pub- lish their report . prior to the towm meeting. The selectmen were authorized to ex- pend a sufficient sum of money to keep lho‘ highways and bridges in good re- pair. To aid in the annual observance of Memorial day, $50 each was appropri- ated for Trumbull, Williams and Han- cock posts, G. A, R, and §26 for Rob- ert Brucker camp, U. 8, W, V. It was voted to approptiate $260 for the removal of ledges of rock on the fi‘y“stlc road, east side of Hinckley The acceptance of Morton avenue as & public highway for a distance of 208 foet from Liberty street, in Pawcatuck, was continued to the next meeting.

This pump is turned up weekly and is given practical tests once a month. By the use of a check valve in connection with the mill hydrants, the town water can be shut off and the water pumped di- rect from the Pawcatuck river through the hydrant, or lines of hose may be connected with the big pumping en- gine. The monthly test was given the pump on Monday, just to demonstfate that it was in good working order, but no attempt was made to reach the rec- ord of pumping which is 1150 gallons of water a minute. The pump is 16x9x12 and with ease pumped 750 gal- lons of water a minute in three streams, through two hundréd feet of » hose each, with 1 1-8 inch nozzles, the pumps working seventy revolutions a minute. 'With the fire pump always ready for action, and man to operate, and with complete equipment, this mill has very good fire protection. eric B. Fowler, presidént of the Wes- terly Textile company, has assured Chief Engineer 8amuel G. Cottrell that the fire elullimsnt of the mill is at his service whenever it is required. —_— The supply of gri ms to be inexhausfible in Quarry Hill, but some of the quarries in other sections of the town of Westerly are nearly depleted of monumental stock. This means a big increase in expense of production, as much more must be expended in clearing the ground and opening u» new quarries, and with the chance that the granite may not be of the required standard. While the gran- ite companies on Quarry Hill are do- ing considerable business, as are some of the concerns iocated _elsewhere. there are others that have been doing business at a loss, 2nd have therefore suspended operations.
