Mr. Mouiton said it would cause many corporations to incorporate outside of Rhode Island. In rebuttal, Mr. Agard said the bill, if enacted, would not drive out cor- porations, but would make the cor- voration laws more attractive. He said the corporation laws of Maine, Delaware and “Massachusetts had this provision. Mr. Jones asked that the bill be amended so that trustees would not be inciuded; stating that many per- sons. as trustees, held stock in cor- porations.

Agard of West- erly attended a hearing of the house committee on corporations in advocacy of an act providing that all officers and directors of corporations (shall own stock in the concerns with which they are commected. either as officers or directors. Mr. Agard explained the bill in detail and it provided that offi- cers and - directors shall own stock to the value of at least $100. The only objection- he had heard against the meadure was on the ground that it was applicable both to directors and officers. Frederick A. Jones, of the Rhode Isl- and company objected. He said many of the officers of the company were not stockholders but were selected -be- cause of their ability. In his oplnion the bill would work a hardship on many corporations, more especially small conjerns. John Henshaw and Edward P. Jas- tram objected to the bill and said many directors of corporations were stockholders and others were not, and it made little difference, anyway, E. B. Moulton. representing the Em- .

Mr. Agard said that it was proposed by the-act to reduce the opportunity for wrong doing; that he knew of sev- eral cases where wrongs committed would not been allowed by this act.

In the same period one lease, G¢ne mortgage, and an intention to claim Hen, were recorded. By direction of the financial town mesting the Westerly town council will seek such legislation as will give the town authority to have a fire de- partment that will cover the whole town, instead of the fire district which is in the compact part of the town. After the required authorily is ob- tained, it will be up to the townspeo- ple to accept or reject the proposition. It would be necessary to have triple- action motor machines, such as the modern .apparatus owned by the Watch Hill Fire district, which is equipped with ladders, chemical tanks, chemi- cal ang water hose, and pumps with a capacity of over 700 sallons of wa- ter a_minute. TFire fighting machines of this kind, with great- power and speed, that can be driven almost any- where, and be in readiness' to pump water instanter from 'any brook or pond, are the only kind that would meet the requiretents of a Westerly town fire department. There are now two equipped fire - districts in'the town of Westerly, one in_ the village of Westerly and the other in the village of- Watch Hill, In the event of a town department su- perseding the district plan, these two fire districts would be included, and new fire stations created at Pleasant View, Weekapaug, Bradford and at White Rock. In order to have an effi- cient department in this town of ex- tensive area, would mean the installa- tion of at least three more triple ac- tion pumpers of the Watch Hill type. In the days when material and labor had not reached the present high plane the cost -of these reliable and modern fire fighting apparatus was $5000. Sup- pose the cost to be an advance of only £1000, the cost to the town for ma- chines alone. including the purchase of the Watch Hill, would be $50,000. John Frederick Vose, familiarly known as “Jack,” who died -Tuesday afternoon at his home, No. 50 --echan- street, was the son of the late John Vose and Carrie Brown Vose, and died in the house where he was born in Pawcatuck, He inherited perhaps $40 000 from his mother, who was a daughter of Sarah Brown. the. third wife of Peleg S. Barber. In addition to the "inheritance from he was given the interest in a fund of $10,000 by the will of Mr. Barber, his grandfather by marriage. In early life Mr. Vose was a trav- ¢ling salesman for the Barber Soap company, and aside from this he was never regularly engaged in any bus: nest In the long ago he contributed news matters to the papers, as a sort of hobby. He was a steady and per- sistent reader of newspapers and took pleasure of sending copies of papers regularly to friends from Westerly row located in nearly all sections of the United States. He ‘was also an enthusiastic patron of public performances and was ac- quainted with many stage profession- als and circus managers.- Through the sporting papers he kept well posted on the show business which was a chief topic of his conversition. He was kind of heart and did many acts of real charity in a quiet and effective way. Mr. Vose has but two relatives, Miss Mattie P. Babcock. now of Dobb’s Ferry, N. Y, and Miss Mary L. Vose of Westerly. ¥ Colonel Charles H. Ledyard, of Wes- terly, is one of the committee of eight who prepared the act providing for a Rhode Island State Guard, which was presented in the house of representa- tives Wednesday.
