 Charles Perry, president of tho Westerly Board of Trade and chairman of the. board of trustees of the Public Library and Memorial association an6 the Wilcox estate, became reminiscent while awaiting quorum at the regu- lar meeting of the Westerly Board o1 Trade Wednesday evening.
 A severe rain storm prevailed and the members were arriving slowly when MT. Perry remarked that some times important business was trans acted by organizations when there was small attendance at meetings.
 By way of illustration he said that more than twenty-five years ago he and two other members of the board of directors of the old Pawcatuck li- brary were in the rooms waiting for 8 quorum to arrive to decide the ques- ton of selling the books of the library to pay for rent and other expenses and closing the library. It was a rainy night and none other than the three directors were present. Just for sport the trio went through the form of or ganization, one being, elected presi- dent, the other secretary and the third was the body of the session. In a testing way a motion was carried that the library association give fair on three evenings and that the proceeds be devoted to the paying of the debt so that the library might be contin- ued.
 The next day one of the trio circu- lated among influential residents oi the town, mostly ladies, and made declaration that the library associa- tion had voted to hold a fair and pay off the indebtedness, asking the ladies to cooperate and make the fair suc- cessful The idea was we'll taken and before the real situation was realized arrangements for the fair were well advanced.
 That fair was held and netted $45O more than enough to pay off the debt and gave new life to the library and established a nucleus for the present complete library.
 Subsequently Ethan Wilcox took charge of the library and through his personal efforts it's influence increased Stephen Wilcox became interested in published accounts of the library worl; and suggested to him the need of a more complete and free library. The result was the erection of the present public library building, the taking over of the Pawcatuck library, estab- fishing Ethan Wilcox as librarian, and endowing the institution for all time
