posed by residents within the Watch
Hill fire district They will endeavor
to have the Pleasant View property
owners burdened by the same restric-
tons that were willingly assumed by
the Watch Hill fire district In the
latter case the cost Of construction was
assumed and bonds issued by the fire
district to the amount of $4,000, which
are cared for by a sinking fund. In
fifty years the whols system reverts to
the Westerly water works, which will
practically be a gift of the extensive
and valuable plant.
The Pleasant View property owners
have a different proposition, however,
and the water is to be used for domes-
tic and not fire purposes. Nearly all
the property owners have agreed to
pay q bonus Of So on the first years
service, and then to pay SO a year, the
regular annual rate, as other consurn-
ers in Westerly. The Watch Hill peo-
pie wanted the water extension to the
Hill. and were satisfied to accept the
terms offered by the board Of water
commissioners. Conditions laTe> chang

The recent agitation before the Barre
board Of trade about starting the build

junet to the monumental business seems
to have attracted attention to the pos
sibilities Of Barre granite for building

contract Of fairly good proportions Is
likely to come to Barre in the near
future, as negotiations are now being
carried on to that end. II Is only a
small beginning, to be sure, but we can
start in on modest scale and build

than starting in on grand scale and
