Owens' family of Hartford has been spending a few days at their summer home by the lake. The lake is nearly full. Bullheads and perch are being caught in good numbers. The laborers employed in the “high- way department of the town of West- erly are on a strike as their demand for increased pay was denied. They ask for an increase of from 33 to $3.20 a day and their car iares besides. That the highway commissioners will ac- cede to the demand is only a matter of a short while, as there is work that must be done and no other laborers are avaflable. Just as soon as this strike is settled and the men rethrn to work, the commissioners will un- doubtedly yield to the public demand for improved conditions in Dixon square. The new macadam road was not completed when winter weather set in and the work was suspended. Since then the loose rocks on the sur- face have been raked from the road bed to the gutter, which is now filled with these ragged rocks that have proven to be disastrous' to automobile ‘tires. It is the plan‘of the commis- sioners to complete this roadway just as soon as arrangements can be made with the tarvia company in Brockton, that put the heated material on the finished portion, direct from the motor truck that brought it from shoe town. The commissioner is anxious to have this work finished be- fore the summer season is at its height and there is congestion of au- tomobiles in the square. It has been suggested by those doin~ ) ¢ business on the square that it would be a good idea, for the laborers to rake this loose material from the gutter, shovel it into the town carts, and take it away, for use elsewhere. It is doiry lots of harm and no good at present and could be used to ad- vantage in repair work in some other section of the town. the A very successful whist for the benefit of The Church of the Immacu- late Conception, was held Wednesday evening, under the manazement of a committee composed of Mrs. John A.

Deady, first, and George King. second. is was one in the series of whists being held at intervals by the ladies of the church, each whist being under different management. At the last meeting of the Waesterly Historical society, a request came from the Wésterly Board of Trade, that a committee of three be appointed to co-operate with a like committee of the board. to prepare a historical sketch of the town, in connection with the observance of the 250th annivers- ary of the settlement of the town.
