that Its work be stopped forthwith so

Henry Dixon said the beauty of
Watch Hill and good roads had at
condition this season of the road would
have demoralizing effect and cause
irretrievable damage to Watch Hill
Now the road is absolutely unsafe for
Hill for recreation and pleasure and
should not be disturbed by work that
ought to be done before summer visit

Mrs. Annie s. Burnett said she did
more than any individual in getting
property owners to Watch Hill. The
ladies now do their shopping in Ston-
ington making the trip by boat, AMI
objected to living at the hill because.
they would just as leave live in a
quarry as to be near a gang of Italians.
We are all indignant, and she said do
not come from the city to be among
picks, shovels and Italians.
Everett A. Kingsley appeared for the
trolley company, and said that the
building up of Watch Hill, and could
not stand the loss at this time were
the work now under way to be stop
ped. If permitted to go on the work
would be completed in about three
weeks. The Watch Hill road is for
public benefit and not a speedway for
Watch Hill automobilists. The cause
of the delay was financial reasons. he
said.

him would be $4,000 and the merchants
of Westerly are losing by present con-
