Mogt .of this ice was . broken- into smaller pieces as it pased over the Broad Street dam, and the huge mass was driven down to Little Narra- gansett bay’ and the deep waters be- yond to-add to the fields of ice that prevails along'the coast:line and the waters thereof. While more or less damage was- done on the unnavigable section ' of 'the Pawcatuck river the most - serious was at the Westerly §awu.tuck bridge, just - above ' the am: An iron circular support, fully two and a half feet in diameter was struck by a huge cake of ice, moved from its solid foundation in the river bed and careened:about ten degrees, leaving one of the longitudinal bridge supports only a' few inches on the fron column. This only affeqted the sidewalk section of the bridge on the side pwned' by the town of Westerly. As a precautionary measure the po- lice closed that section to pedestrian travel. Provided, no other damage comes from the ice yet to be released farther up the river, the damage can be readily re; The Briggs building, a three story wooden structure, extends along the bridge on the Westerly side and over- hangs the Pawcatuck river, being sup- ported by large iron spiles and wood- en piles of the ordinary size. ' An iron support at the cornmer -of the building was carried away, as was also a wooden spile, cracking the cross beam that supports the rear of the building, the front resting on Main streef. On the ground floor i= a mu- sic, stationery and. general store, a barber shop, a film store and a rest- durant. . On_ the- second floor there are offices and ' dentist's rooms znd on the top floor a club reom. This building settled about three: inches in the section where the supports were knocked away by . the ice and articles were disarranged ’in all parts of the building. It is not thought that there will be any more damage, but repairs cannot be made until the turbulent waters subside. 2 Just over the state liy. on the Paw- catuck section of the: Lridge is the one-story unattractive bullding. e cently partially destroyed by- fire and now undergoing repairs. This is sup- ported wholly by -ordinary, wooden spiles, and a few of these were knock- ed askew, and aside from being mov- ed ap .inch or two from the bridge sidewalk 'that building is still there. Considering the intrinsiv value, this Building is said to have been, just be- fore the firé, the most profitabie as a rent producer ‘than any in the twin villagess of Westerly and Pawcatuck. (A, large bill_board located just be- low the dam, containing, a patriotic announcement, the big line being. “How..Much Longer,” was partially tipped. into. the river and wasiied by that swift moving water. = It's "time had_probably not come.

The operating expenses, however, to- talled $1,807,679.48, an increase of $684,584.49, or 61 per cent.
