the tenants IN her building who occu-
pied TWO Of the stores for drug bust
She declared that her tenants had been
picked for prosecution and persecution
while others in the drug business were
not molested. There was no reason.
SiiO oeiu, WHY SpOtlSIS SHOULD VISIT the
stores of her tenants, paid for with
funds of the town. While she be
Eeved in law enforcement she was of
the opinion that the hotels at Watch
Hill and other drug stores in Westerly
should receive police attention as well
as those in her building. She wanted
her property rights respected and had
determined to make a fight for her
rights if she could not get justice
from the town council she would seek
it elsewhere. She said her building
had been searched and doors smashed
without warrant, while other drug
stores were never searched nor spoilers
employed in other drug stores.
Mrs. Graft said she knew that beer
and liquor was being sold to minors
and others in Dixon square and vicini-
ty enough to float ship, but these do
ings were overlooked by the police
will you sit there as gentlemen and
tell me that other drug stores, besides
those in the Martin house, are not SELL
ing Hquor?''
Councilman Burdiclz of the police
committee declared that no favorites
were being played, that the committee
acted upon the reputation of the places
and complaints, and would thank Mrs
Graft for evidence that would convict
any violator of the law
Mrs. Graft then asked if the commit
tee had any right to employ spoilers
tenants.
Councilman Burdick replied that
spoilers did not have to be hired to
get evidence against her tenants, and
that as matter of fact none of fhe

That the advantages of the Westerly
public library are fully appreciated by
the people of Westerly and vicinity is
demonstrated by the increase in the
circulation department. Previous to
last week the record for books taken
out in single week was in Janu-
airy of the present year, when 1870
books were given out. That record
was broken in the first week in Feb
ruary when 1928 books were issued,
exceeding the previous record by So
books. In the first week of February
year ago 1, 107 books were taken out,
an increase of ZIG during the past
week The greatest number delivered
in a single day was 3SS on last Satur-
day.
These figures do not include the
books handed out for reference, or
those for use in the reading room, nor
does it include the many books con-
suited in the reference department.

pected as the result or an investiga-
tion of the office of City Engineer -.
w. Ewart, which was ordered at the
meeting of the city council Wednes-
day night. This investigation was
brought about largely through char
ges made by residents Of the Terrace
Heights district, a locality which is
now undergoing extensive improve
ments. The changes that have been
made in the grades have proven much
greater than many Of the residents
anticipated, and much dissatisfaction
is resulting. There is also said to be
clash between the city engineer and
the head of the water department,
which will probably result in an in
vestigation OF this important office
also. 1t seems to be the general be-
lief that all Of the city departments,
excepting that of the firefighters, will
follow as the result Of this opening
wedge, as dissatisfactin has been ex-
pressed all along the line
