L - 3 I i : £ : H M Dixon Square Crowded to See at Theatre—Liberty Loan The largest crowd ever nssembled n Dixon square and vicinity saw % “The Human Fly,” Jack Williams, Tuesday might climb the Rbode Is- land hotel building from sidowalk to roof, and with no artificlal assistance. In the assemblage were people from all the places surrounding Westerly and | 50 great was the crowd that trolley trafic and all other traffic was sus- jpended. The collection amounted to £5206.37, and of this snm $61.91 wau Zcontributed to the Knights of Colum- _bus $2,000,0Cs fund for recreation cen- ters in miiitary camps. This aliows ~Mr. Willlams -$144.46 for that even- Ing's performance in Westeriy. This was materiaily ¢ncreased on Wedne: -day when he repeated his wonderful climbing act at the Martin "house, and donated a share of the proceeds 1to the Knights of Columbus fund. Now that the republicans have made nominations of town officers for the _ next two years, and with really no op- position of comsequence, it seems to be up to the working polfticlans to make the most of the coming election | as there will be no town election, un- der the changed laws, for two Years *more. The town courcll :ominees -are e present incumbents who have serveéd ‘the people faithfully und well, the past vear and the vear before, the service of some of the members cover- ng a much longer period. The dem- ocrats, n;erely as a matter of form, 1will hold®a caucus and make nomina- tions for all town offices, provided a democrat can be found for cvery of-| “fice. If mot, some of the republican nominees wiil have democratic endorce- | :ment forced upon them. A year hence | there will he a state election and the | main local interest at that time will bo the yote on the liquor license ques- . tion. § $ H § H The statement has been made in ublic, and rot contradicted that the st paying property in Westerly, and in Pawcatuck, are two buildings that do not carry with them an inch of land, as they are buiit on spiles and over the water. One is the Briggs building wsere the rents have been jumped twice within a vear, or since the change in owner =. The other is the little one-story frame bullding on_the bridge. which did not cost over $150 when original’;- constructed. Both buildings are owncf: by the same par- tes. Before the change in ownership came, the building on the Bridge rent- ed for $40 a month and now it has been jumped to $105, and the tenants are required to keep the building In repair, and are permitted to make im- provements, but at no cost-to the ow; ers of the bufiding. The temporary post office buflding in High street is @ meney maker, but the little building on the bridge has it beaten to a fraz- zle as an investment. . Dr. Michael H. Scanlon, first class! lieutenant melical reserve corps of | the army, now at his home ‘n West- ! terly on {inactive military duty, is a ‘member of the canvassing committee of Narragansett council, engaged this week in a campaign to raise $1.000 of the $3,000,000 Kniehts of Columbus fund, to create and maintain recrea- tion centers at the military camps. Tuesday night Dr. Michael . Scan- lon was permitted to talk five minutes from the stage of the Central theatre in the interval between the two per- formances. He told of the benefits that would come to the soldier boys through these recreation centers, and spoke in a patriotic view that arous- ed much enthusiasm. He appealed to those presemt to atd in the work now in progress. A collection was taken which resulted in tke addition of $42.50 to the fund.
