Many hundreds of dollars is invested in this business every season, and more expense will be added this sum mer, through the passing of a law which compels the owners of all mo- tor or gasoline boats to install an un- derwater exhaust or any contrivance that will prevent the noise caused by the exnlosion.

l Provided satisfactory arrangements can be made within three months there will be employment for five hun- dred more people in Westerly It is understood that Warren O. and Louis w. Arnold, proprietorS of the Vest erly wooden mills property. located in the towns of Westerly and Stoning ton, in the section known as Still manville, have expressed willingness to sell their mill property at the tax able valuation, which is about $105.0oo. F. W. Batty representing the PaWca- tuck Woolen mills at Potter Hill, is considering taking over the plant and combine the two industries under one management and if this is done aSsur- ance is given that at least five hun dred will be employed in the Arnold mills within three months, which would be of great benefit to the town of Westerly.
 In order tc bring about this change and better the industrial conditions of the town, it has been suggested that citizens of Westerly should aid in se- curing the much desired industrial in- crease. by subscribing for stock in the added industry, so a proposition to that effect is to be put up to the board of trade. to ascertain just what the citizens will do towards improving local business affairs.
 There was meeting of the board of trade committee on trades and man. ufacturers in the conference room of the Westerly public library Thursday
 
 tendent of the Pawcatuck wooden mill, explained the situation to the com mittee and outlined what 1t would be necessary for the board of trade to do in order to materially add to the in dustrial interests of the town. This committee could take no definite &C., tion, but assured MT. Hope that the proposition looked good and would be taken before the executive board with the lest possible delay, and hoped that action favorable to the proposition would be taken.
 There was a lengthy discussion as to the merits of the bill pending in the legislature relative to the placing of children in homes, at the fifteenth an- nual meeting of the Rhode Island As sociation of Overseers of the Poor, in ton is composed of past and present overseers of the poor in the several towns of the state, the Westerly mem bers being Ethan Wilcox, John B. Brown and Ellery Barber.
 MT. Wilcox succeeded Samuel H. Cross. whoe had held the office for many years, in June 1891. and was a charter member of the state associa- tion. In 1901, MT. Wilcox declined renomination and MT. Brown was elected his successor. MT. Brown in June, 1908, refused to accept renom- ination, and Ellery Barber, the pres ent incumbent, was elected to the of fee.
 The officers elected to serve for the year are: Edmund Walker of South Kingstown, president: Philip Brady of Bristol vice president; Thomas B. Maymon of Providence, secretary and treas surer.

Governor Davidson yesterday issued

to give it Que observance, as follows:

BY virtue of the power vested in

and bird day, and request that it be
duly observed by all schools, colleges

the planting of trees, the adornment
of school and public grounds, and in
other suitable exercises, having for
their object the advancement of the
study of arboriculture, the promotion
of a spirit of protection to birds and
trees, and the cultivation of an appre-
ciative sentiment concerning them.
The value of tree culture and the
necessity for the preservation of
bird life are now generally recognized.

The regulars, following adjourn
ment, talked over the situation inform
ally and individually. Their mood is
a waiting one. If the republican in
surgents win the fight, they say that
upon the allies" will devolve the re-
sponsibility of legislation.
The particular obstruction in the
pathway of agreement between the
regulars and the insurgents is the
proposed elimination Of the speaker.
The regulars say the speaker, having
committed no wrong, should not be
discredited. Some friends of the
speaker contend that if the house
overrules him tomorrow he would
welcome" relief from the committee.
The speaker himself is silent. no
statement being forthcoming from his
office as to mis- point of view:
Representative Clark, leader of the
minority and his chief lieutenant.
Underwood, of Alabama, were salts
fed with the situation at adjourn
ment, although with their solid party,
they had voted against it.
Concerning the conferences of the
republican regulars and insurgents
which were held yesterday and will
continue this morning, Mr. Clark had
this to say:
They may agree upon something
that We democrats can also stand for.
but | don't believe it. If they get to-
gether Gu something that we don't
believe in, We will fight it and you can
depend on that"
Upon Clark has fallen the great
burden of the battle in the past two
days from the democratic side. and
he showed effects of the long strain
Underwood was more specific, say
ing:
If the regulars and insurgents
come together upon any basis which
does not provide for the election Of a
new committee on rules by the house
and the elimination of the speaker
from that committee, the democrats
will oppose it to a man.

house convenes today no one last

The insurgents confidently claim
that when a final vote is taken On the
Norris resolution their total vote will

democratic vote, will be more than a

forces strictly in hand and on every
vote polled their full strength.

Lack Of profit in the operation of
most Of these small plants and also Of
the larger ones. says the commission
is due largely to lack of economies
such as the use of feed water heat,
ers. proper firing Of boilers, selection
and weighing of coal, covering of
steam pipes repairing of leaks, setting
OF engine valves, and the like. Small,
old type transformers are responsible
for large continuous losses. Many
plants have a much larger transfer
mer capacity than their generators
will carry. Some of the small trans
formers are badly overloaded, while
other large ones carry little load.
Many OF the systems are equipped
