registered Connecticut 6724, signalled
the Munson car to cross over to the
left side of the road, intimating that

the comfort, and convenience of Watch
Hill property owners, and to give "A
better impression of Watch Hill from

general assembly authorized the Watch
Hill Fire district to issue bonds to
the amount of $4,000 to purchase the
property on the west side of Bay
street, but previous efforts to obtain
the property within that price failed
until Friday afternoon. At a special
meetig Of the district it was announc-
ed that the property was available for
$49,600 and it was unanimously voted
to make the purchase. J. Frank
Champlin, Samuel H. Davis. William
c. Hastings. Horace e. Burdick and
John W. Sweeney were appointed a
committee to complete the purchase and
to finance future improvements.
1t was noted that the treasurer of
the interest be required to furnish a
bond of $4,000 and that the expense
of the bond be paid by the fire dis
trict.

! Last year there was an organized
opposition against the denomination of
Senator Louis w. Arnold and the polls
were kept open from four in the after
noon until nine at night and every
effort made to defeat the nomination
of Senator Arnold, but when the votes
were counted he was renominated by
large majority.
Since then there has been effort on
the part of few to oppose the sem
atpr's nomination again, but they have
mot been able to find any suitable per-
son who is willing to enter the arena
with the senator for a fight for the
nomination, and in Westerly the re-
publican nomination is equal to. cleo
ton as there is likely to be no demo-
cratic opposition, and If there is it is
so slight that it is not given consid-
GRAFTON.
Therefore Senator Arnold's renom-
ination is considered a sure thing and
he win be elected to succeed himself,
and Representative Albert H. Lang
worthy will also be renominated for
the lower house without opposition.
