NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY. EMBER 1, 1917 IN AND ABOUT WESTERLY School Children in Food Pledge Campaign—Bill for $300 Alleged Damages in Auto Collision Case—One Hundred More Men to be Called for Examination—Good Hunting at Charlestown Pond—Funeral of Mrs. Maria L. Still- man. ey bonds. This is to be followed by 40 per cent. of the total payable on Dec. 15 and the last 40 per cent. on Jan. 15. This is what is know as the Gov- ernment plan. Over 10,000 people alone, however, took out the bonds on the Dollar-a- week basis, 9792 subscribing through the People’s Savings Bank. On this scheme the subscribers pay $1 per week for each $50 bond until it is paid for and then receive their securi- ties. - They can, however, pay up in full at any time and the will then be delivered to them. Thomas H. West, Jr,. chairman of the Rhode Island Liberty Loan com- mittee, issued the following statement: “The Liberty Loan committee of Rhode Island wishes to extend its sin- cere thanks to each member of -evry committee who gave his time to the patriotic work of placing the bands of the second Liberty Loan. “The result has been most satisfac- tory. The minimum allotment’ for the State was $28 271 000 and the total subscriptions amounted to $32,214,800. Thi= means an average per capita of §70 for overy man woman and child in the State of Rhode Island. “Every sub-division of the State ex- ceeded its allotment, Kent county leading with 360 per cent. The total number of subscriptions taken was about 125000, which is nearly twice as many as subscribed for he first Lib- erty Loan. “The co-operation of every member of every committee and our splendid organization is entirely responsible for the great work that has been done. Special thanks are due the savings banks for the way they kept open after banking hours and made it possible for the small subscribers to take | bonds.” The Rhode Island committee on the Liberty Loan work has issued a statement which shows that the per capital subscription in the state was 83 for every resident. Based on the timate that the country as a whole $5,000 000,000 of bonds this is 20.33 more than the average per cap- ita. According to the official state- ment, the fizures from which the es- based on the 1915 cen- ‘o loan put forward by he government within the past few months this State has taken $67.550,300, or a little better than $113.50 per cap- ita.

Healey, When automobi disagree it is customary for-the court to decide the points at issue, to determine the re- sponsibility of automobile _collisions and to fix the damages. This will probably be the outcome of the acci- dent at Cross and Elm streets Tuesday when the automobile of George Kemp and Barney Fain were in collision. As a-matter of course each placed the blame on the other fellow. With the strong conviction that Fain was at fault. Kemp was considerably sur- prised and agitated when he received a Dbill of damages for 3300 from Fain Wednesday morning. Instead of a bill of damages Kemp expected a check in settlement. The only per- son who received bodily injury was Leo Ruisi, passenger in the Fain car, and who stands neutral until such time as the responsibility is placed. Near the east end of the east rail- road yard at Midway is a boulder that bears strong resemblance to the human head and face. the eyes, nose and mouth being clearly defined. The location of this boulder, which weighs perhaps two tons, is in the line of proposed new trackage and will prob- ably be blown to pieces to make way for improvements. The queer boulder is without historic interest and there- fore there is no effort being made for the preservation of this freak of na- ture. It has been suggested by a Westerly man that this boulder, in- stead of being smashed to smithereens De lifted by one of those powerful railroad derricks and placed beyond the line of the proposed new track- age; or better vet be placed in some sightly place along the line of the railroad as an opject of interest to the patrons of the road.
