The Anderson family, with fine sum-
ner residence off the Watch Hill road,
with the Pawcatuck river in the rear
ana MaSluxet pond on the side, is one
OF the most admired beauty spots in
the whole town of Westerly Just
across the Mastuxet pond and located
SIMILARLY to the Anderson estate is
Vle property recently acquired by Her.
man Dock, and upon which he is plan
ming to build a handsome summer
home, in keeping with the general sur
roundfngs.
The story goes that the Andersons
had tried in vain to purchase the prop
erfy from Stanton Thompson, the for
fner owner, and that Mr.. Dock had
been offered q tempting bonus for his
purchase, as they wanted to control
that property as a sort of protection
for their present holding. 1t is said
Docks as neighbors, but they fear the
whole of the property of six acres
will not be entirtly used for residential
purposes.
Mr.. Dock is the patentee and inven-
tor of the Dock gas engines, is nat
ural inventor, a thorough machinist,
and has a general liking for mechan
les II is therefore but natural that
he would have private workshop
near his home equipped with mach1n-
cry, and this would occasion more or
Legs noise when in operation.
Mr.. Dock might also have a few
machiniStS to aid him in his InNen-
lions. In fact he has now in his en-
ploy a chauffeur, practical machln-
ist, who set up the Dock engines be-
fore the plant in Hope Valley was
burned, and whose qualifications are
so satisfactory to Mr.. Dock that he
has been retained in his employ at full
pay, work or play. Besides this OBJ
jectionable workshop, there would be
the garage. and, with q machinist-
chauffeur who would make all needed
repairs, there would be more or less
Noise from that source.
The AnderSonS are among the most
democratic of the summer visitors, and
come here from Cincinnati to spend
the summer in peace and quiet
The Docks are year-around resi-
the people. Mr.. Dock has considera-
ton for the peace and quiet of his
own home. and those who know him
best declare that the reported CONVEX
sion of his newly acquired property
into an industrial place is without
foundation
