WESTERLY Popular Band Concert Thursday Even- ing—Members of D. A. R. Chapter Hold Picnic at North Stonington— School Entrance Rule Changed— Medical Society’'s Outing Thursday. Representative Stiness, who repre- sents the congressional district which includes Westerly, suggests that the proposition for the establishment of submarine base in Narragansett bay from the Providence Chamber of Commerce be presented to the new commission created under the terms of the navy bill. In response to a letter from the chamber of commerce, Ofr. Stiness writes as follows: ‘It is not my understanding that New London has been made a sub- marine base, to the exclusion of other places, but only that the school for officers located there will be utilized in connection with submarine manoeu- vres, engineering, equipment, repairs, etc., and that for this purpose a neces- sary number of submarines will be there, from time to time. New Lon- don, in all probability, will be one of a number of submarine bases to be established by a commission to be ap- pointed by authority of @ eenate amendment to the naval appropriation bill, to ‘investigate and report as to the necessity rability and advisa- bility of establishing submarine and aviation bases on the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Pacific_coasts and other possessions of the United States, and as to the cost and location thereof. *l am reliably informed that this amendment will be agreed to by the ouse conferees. It would seem, there- ore, that this commission, when ap- pointed, would be the authority before whom we should present the merits ses of Narragansett bay, a submarine base be that the matter may be to the commission in the ‘ective manner possible, I would that an argument be prepared standpoint of the many ad- I ved by ansett of course, and im- the advantages to land; but this con- commission will be weight to that of a = best interests The official year book of the Protest- ant Episcopal churches of Rhode Isl- and, The Journal of the Diocese of 2 n en issued and pecial interest ) ting feature ical report of ummary of the statistics of the he conven- on with t candidates conesses, § firmations, 1,17 non-at- mber regu- ed. 20,413; s and teach- 2; average font roll, Free, 14,635; | Of land, $127,220; envelopes pew The Westerly band gave the follow- ina concert programme in Wilcox park ) under the direction leader: March, 3 ex- e Paradise, Evster popular air, Under- ars, Spencer; grand se- Faust, Gounod; veeal We're All for Uncle Sam, Pond, Pond: popular air, Sweet Cider rich; marct National, Spangled anner, Nathan B.
