The Chautauqua company that recently entertained in Westerly, was permitted to place ad- vertising’ matter on trees and tele- phone poles in the compact part of the town in violation of town ordi- nance. and was also allowed to use schoolbuildings for advertising pur- poses and to string bannerets across the public highways. Chautauqua was also allowed to give a series of pub- lic entertainments without paying the customary license fee, and _to do many other things not allowed to res- idents of the town. The United States government has | placea a full sheet poster on one of the trees in front of the post office, | calling for enlistment in the army which is also a clear violation of the town ordinance, which even the fed- eral government is bound to respec The plea is made that there should be no discrimination in the enforce- ment of this ordinance.
