Proposed ImprOvem ment.

We understand that project is on
foot for raising the building known as
Babcock & Moss Block another story,
and making the upper room into Hall
for lectures, concerts, &c. We are
much pleased with the idea. Westerly
will yet be able to hold up her head with
the best of them. 1t has long been a
complaint that there is no hall in the
village of sufficient size to accommodate
an audience which can be called out
upon pleasant evening, and for that
reason the greater proportion of valua.
bic entertainments have passed us by
while the few that have made us q cal
have been poorly rcmunerated. The
Old Union Meeting House has answered
a good purpose, but is inconvenicnt and
unsuitable, and Pawcatuck Hall is too
small to bear the name.
Now we need just such hall as the
proposed one would make, and it can be
made at a less expense in that way than
in any other, besides having the advan-
tage of being in the most central part Of
the village. We trust the thing will
be speedily accomplished, and our Will
age furnished with a hall capable Of
holding all who wish to come.
