There was a large attendance at the reception to Governmor R. Livingston Beeckman under the auspices of the ‘Westerly Catholic, club in the town ball Thursday evening, Judge Jo_hn 'W. Sweeney of the superior court and want to end the war because their own comfort and convenience are in- terfered ‘He warned against overemphasizing America’s mistakes in war preparation and, as evidence of some of the wor! tem. telephone lines, and 500 miles of rail- road track. Governor Beeckman came to West- erly by automobile and was entertain- ed at the rectory of the Church,of the Immaculate Conception. He was es- corted from the rectory to the town hall by the Westeérly constabulary, headed by the 'Westerly band. Another special effort is being made at the present session of the Rhode i assembly to have an act passed t will require that alter- nate sessions of the superior court for Washington county be at Westerly and Wingston. At present, as in the t, all regular sessions are held at 2= ston, but adjourned sessions are held at Westerly when so ordered by i P Judge. | Now Westerly has a new courthouse and also all accommodations required by the judge, court officers, jurors, witnesses and all interested in cases on trial, all of which are lacking at Kingston. When the new courthouse was erected by the state the natural inference was that.alternate sessions of the court would be held here. When this proposed act was under consid- eration at the 1917 session it was op- posed by those in Washington county whq live nearer to Kingston than Wekterly, and the same opponents are lined up in force this year. Spirited arguments developed when the bill was given public hearing by the house judiclary committee Wednesday after- noon. Representative Samuel H. Davis of Westerly opened the hearing, stating that alternate sessions, t¥ice each year at Kingston and twice at West- erly, would be a great convenience. Town Solicitor Harry B. Agard of Westerly declared it was of no avail for peaple to oppose this bill because conditions were changing and the pr visions of the measure would certain- ly be carried out within a few years, the change coming naturally. He said the conditions of the South Kingston courthouse were not such as to make it a really fit place for court sessiong and that there were no accommoda- tions for people who had to appear there. He called attention to . the courthouse in Westerly, saying it was one of the best in the state and that the accommodations in the town were in every way fine. John J. Dunn of Westerly presented 2 petition asking for the passage of the bill, and Representative Francis G. Haswell epoke in favor of its pas- Eage. B . Senator Stephen J. Casey of Rich- mond opposed the bill, and refuted Mr, Agard’s statement that the Kingston courthouse was not fit He declared that a few years ago $10,000 had been spent on it to put it in shape. He sald South and West Kingston were the centers of the county and that the accommodations for visitors were fine and that the train eervice appeared convenicnt. He opposed the bill also becausp it would make the courts more expensive to the - state. He stated that the town councils of Exe- ter, Narragansett and South Kingston bad gone on record as opposed to this measure. Senator ¥ B. Kane of Narragan- sett Pier corroborated Senator Caséy’s statements and eaid the commercial of Westerly had / turned 's head. He also said it was step toward removing. the county seat to Westerly. The commit- tee took the bill under consideration. Local Laconics, . Miss Laura E.
