— ;‘-j; WESTERLY BOARD OF TRADE ACTIVE Works for New Haven Road’s Retention of Sound Lines— Frank W. Coy Speaks on Light and Power Rates Matter —Urges Big Attendance at Hearing—Officers of P. S. Barber Hose Co.—Whist Club Entertained. The Westerly Board of Trade is on record as in favor of the retention of | the sound lines of steamers by the New York, New Haven and Hartford | Railroad company, and contributed $50 to the fund for legal talent to urge favorable action, at the hearing before the interstate Commerce commission, which is now giving this important matter speclal attention.. Frank W, Coy addressed the Board of Trade meeting at the conclusion of routine business, as chairman of the commit- tee to secure reduced rates from the Westerly Light and Power company. He told of the co-operative action of the Westerly town council, requesting the state public utilities commission to give a public hearing, and he urged the members to attend that hearing and show that the charges for light and power were excessive, discriminatory and unjust. He believe dthat if the membere of the Board of Trade ap- peared before the commission that the people of Westerly would get a square deal. President James M. Pendieton pre- sided at the meeting and, in the ab- sence of Secretary Arthur L. Perry, Milo M. Clarke was chosen secretary pro tem. The several committees re- ported as required, but the reports were all of a routine nature. Two candidates were admitted to member- ship. The attendance was small and the introduction of new business, of more or less importance, was deferred to the next regular meeting. At an early date Prof. R. W. Rees of the Massachusetts Agricultural Fruit gardens will give a general talk on Home Fruit Gardens under the au- spices of the Westerly Board of Trade. The Peleg S. Barber Hose company of Pawcatuck at its annual meeting elected these officers: Thomas L. Don- ohue, foreman; Francis J. McMahon, first assistant; James V. Donovan, sec- ond assistant; Michael J. Devine, sec- retary; William Crandall, treasurer; Frank Brucker, steward. The foreman and assistants will serve as executive committee. The Tetiring foreman, Pierce A. Morrison, and the retiring secretary, Charles J. Norris, declined Tenomination. At the conclusion of business there ‘was a social session and a turkey sup- per was served. The company voted to have a ladies’ night at the fire sta- tion, and William J. Lord, Thomas Cooper and Thomas L. Donohue were appointed a committee to arrange for this event. In the suit brought by Attorney Henry W. Hayes to recover legal fees of $15000 from the Terminal Ware- house_company, on trial before Judge John W. Sweeney and a juyr, several members of the Rhode Island general assembly gave testimony. Representa- tive Albert H. Langworthy of Wester- ly and the other members of the com mittee on corporations were called by counsel for defendant. The witnesses were asked individuaily if they, as| members of the committee, considered that the work of Henry W. Haves was instrumental in preventing the passage of the bill asking for rights of con- demnation for the Interurban Railway company. The court sustained the ob- Jection to the questions. Frederick S. Peck, chairman of the finance committee, testified that he was a director and was interested in the Terminal Warehouse company. He ad- mitted that he had used his influence against the Interurban Railway bill, Mr. Peck corroborated the testimony of William M. Harris, Jr, to the effect that he had given Harris a “tip” that| he could go home and there would be nothing doing on the Interurban bill on the last day of the session of the! legislature. Mr. Harris had_testified that he told Mr. Hayes to g0 home in- stead of remaining at the statehouse ell night. The sne_story weoden strusturs lo- cated on the Connecticut side of the Broad street bridge over the Pawca- tuck river contained for years two stores, one of which is and has_been occupied by Thomas F. Howard, al- most since its construction. The other store has had many tenants and for varied purposes. Until recently this store was devoted to shoe shining purposes. A few months aso a tem- porary partition was placed in this store, and the place occupied jointly by the shoe-shiner and a quick lunch outfit. The monthly rental was $25. Last week a fellow countryman, evi- dently envious of the apparent pros- perous business, went to the agent of the owner of whe building and offered a rental of $75 a month for that part of the building. The offer was ac- cepted and notice given the present occupant to vacate or come across with the $75. Probably the original cost of the building did not exceed $500. Local Laconics.
