court of probate, Immediately after the
regular monthly business session, next

is to be a contest on the ground of
mental incapacity and undue inffu-
ence. Judge Edward M. Burke, Of
the probate court of Westerly, being
a nephew of testatrix and therefore
an interested party, makes it necessary
for the town council to act as a pro-
bate court under the statutes
1t is understood that the councilmen
will deny the application of Pasquale
Salameno for license to conduct
pool room in Pierce street, and also this
application for a similar license from
a resident in the Mantle district,
which were presented at the last town
council meeting
1t is probable that there will be rev.
ocation of the pool room license held
by Joseph Guarino, known as Ouray
of Pierce street, the council reservine
the right to do so when the license was
issued.
There will be a contest over these
pool room licenses, the petitioners be-

A resolution has been presented in
the state senate to revoke and annul
the harbor lines in Point Judith pond
in South Kingston. Also an act au-
thorizing the town of South Kings
ton to construct and maintain chan
mel connecting Point Judith with Pot
ter's pond, and validating the vote
passed by the town to that effect.
The two measures are designed to
assist the town in its purpose to con-
struct broadway from South pond
to Potter's pond in order that the lat
ter body of water may become avail
able for oyster growing purposes. The
harbor lines proposed to be abolished
are said to be of little importance and
their elimination will not injure any
one property rights.
