A large number was present and listened to an interesting talk by Orlando Smith, on Early New England. Ot the close of the ‘address gifts which had been presented to the society were shcwrn, consisting of old pictures, books and relics. Friday evening the Wequetequock Community club met and the young peo- ple who are interested in gardening and poultry raising had the pleasure of list- ening to an illustrated talk by 3. Brunridge, of Storrs Agricultural col- lege. The children as well as the adults n the village have nearly all starter ta- ble gardens this year, as the result of the assistance given. The work on the Stanley Bus, which has been made at the Beach Street car barn is practicaly at a stand still owing to lack of funds. This it was thought would be put on the Norwich & Wst- erly Line this summer as it would cut down expenses. As this has iron wheels and runs on the trolley rails and can ac- commodate about 30 passengers. Many who have built homes at the Highlands feel that the trolley fare should be lowered to 5 cent§ from West- erly, tnasmuch as it is only a short dis- tance from larksville and the fare is now only 5 cents from Westerly to that point The wage question for common la- borers In Westerly was put up to the arbitration committee of five,to whom the matter was referred.
