Mr. Meikie told the coun- cil that he believe the service rendered was appreciated by the townspeople, and others, and that at the present time the corps owed on account of the ambulance service $340, and without funds to meet the debt. was 25 cents @ mile, which was collected for mon-residents, but rarely from resi- dents, and added that the regular charge was inadequate and must be increased. Snice the 7th lance had responded to 62 ad had covered 315 miles in a snzle uy m a circulation of calls. The discussion went along like this: WEST of December ths 'ambu- s Councilman Campbell— Mr. Mcikle. would an appropriation of 3500 meet present demands? Mr. Meikle—Yes, sir. Councilman ~ Thorp—Where is the money to come from? President Ditson—From the miscel- eous fund. Clerk Whipple—That spared from the fund, Councilman Thorp—An _appropriat.on ought to be provided from the regujar budget, as it is just as essential as ap- propriagion for highways. The wonder is hoy the town ever got along witleout ambdlance service. President Datson—The ambulance ser- vice is a public necessity. Councilman Thorp—It must cost con- siderable for ambulance maintenance. Mr. Meikle are not charges made for the juse of the ambulance. Mr. Meikie—We respond to many calls {for which there is no pay. These are mostly locals. We try to collect for all {other calls. Councilman Campbell—Wouid an ap- propriation of $300 be sufficient now? _ Mr. Meikle—It would help very mucl. On motion of Mr, Campbell §300 was apgropriated from the miscelianeous fund. Councilman Moore—Mr, Meikle, you may call on me for $350 to bridge the sanitary corps over uatil the time for the aanual budget arrives, when I hope liberal appropriation will be made for the- continuance of the excelient service of the Westerly Sanitary corps. An ordinance was adopled providing for the muzzling of all dogs permitted to roam at large from August 1 to Oc- tober 1, this year. The penalty is death for the dog and a fine of to the owner. It is proposed to reenact the or- dinance at the end.of the year so that the period of muzzling will be eariier. A vote was_passed urging strict and rigid enforcement of the ordiance. Charles J. Butler, chairman of the highway commission, asked the council it there was not some room in the town hall that could be assigned to the high- way commission. There ought to be a place where the business of the commis- sum cannot be sion could be tramsacted, Where ity books and records could be kept. Mr. Butler said Clerk Whipple said there was an available room or one that could he made so, in the basement of the building, but to get to it there wouid De necessity of passing through the po- lice station or the workshop.of the Wat- er department. Council Campbell asked Mr. Butier if the commission could net be accommo- dated in the large room assigned to the town treasurer. Mr. Butier replied that Treasurer Pendleton told him he could have no office or desk room there. President Datson suggested the use of the private er consultation room of the town council. Mr. Butler replied the commission would be satisfied with any sitable place. On motion of Councilman Harper It was unanimously voted that space be provided in the town treasurer's office tor the use of the highway department. Presidett Tristam D. Babeoek and Superintendent Thomas McKenzie of the water and sewer board, laid the plans Defore the couneil showing that it is ex- pected to have the main system in work- ng_order by the end of the year. Mr. McKenzie explained that the contract for laying the pife system began work in August, 1919, and by reason of the ex- treme cold weather suspended in Janu- wry. Work was med April 2, 1920, but was stopped April 22, by reason of the strike. Since then there has been no work en the pipe system, By rea- ®on of changed conditions, the contractor has suffered a large financial loss, and it compelled to continue under the con- iract would eventually fail and abandon the centract. The contractor could not 80 on with the work until conditions be- same normal, and that meant the pres- ent incomplete and unsatisfactory con- dition of the sewerage system, carrying ~ith it the road inconveniences.

A bill of $18 was ordered paid for the vice of @ special officer at the recent “havtauqua session. While there was no opposition to paying the special of- ficer, there was considerable comment upon it as a matter of right. It, was said Chautauqua ought at least pay for the service of a special officer. ‘The coneern vaid no license fee, no ground rent, no nothing, but pocketed the guar- anteed expenses and profits and de- parted. Chautauqua, according to ex- pressed opinions of the council ought to be treated officially the same as a circus or any other traveling show.

Mr. La Dire states that he sustained a number of serious injuries. a severe nervous shock, and that the action of h heart has been irregular since the acci dent. He also avers that there were in the truck at the time of the collision, fifty-four dozen of eggs valued at S40 and that they were smashed when the cars came together. The mew town hall Is inadequate for the uses of the town, although when the profect was being discussed it Was arg- ued that it was proposed to erect a town building that would provide for all future as well as present needs, and that thers would be ample room to ac- commodafe all town offices that had direct - business with the people. When completed. the basement was devoted in part to the workshop of the water de- partment, the top floor to the town hall proper, and the second to town offices. On this second floor is the effice of the town clerk, the water commissioners’ of- fice, the town trefsurer’s office and the room that is used jointly by the probate court and town council, and all space on that floor is oceuvied. The highway commissioners asked the town council for an office in the building Monday, and the council assigned the commission to use the room jointly with the town treasurer. This action Was taken with full knowledge that the town treasurer and coilector, had refused of- fice space to the highway commissioners. Should the objection of the treasurer finally prevail, the highway commission must rent quarters elsewhere as the work of the department cannot go for- ward without established quarters. There is no office for the charity depart- ment, or the assessors of taxes, and the local police department is located in the section of the building owned and main- tained by the state of. Rhode Island. The office of the water board is all too small, much of the work being_done elsewhere at periods, and the only offices in the building that are fully juate for the purpose intended are those of the the board would not consider any prices the is only $10,000 more than tion of the board was approved by the when rapairs were being made to] | Sargent as Huck and Gordon Griffith as i Tom Sawyer goes the credit for one of c most enjoyable photoplays of the car.
