WORDS. NOT DEEDS, IN WESTERLY
Town Council Makes Haste Slowly in Union Street lm- provement Matter-C ommittee Finally Appointed Panel of Superior Court Jurors-Weddines

MT. Agard replied that commits sion would be necessary if advantage was to be taken of the betternent act. for then they could get something in damages
 Dr. Scanlon said as there was to be no trouble with property owners over the taking of land, as none was to be taken and that there was to be only the regarding of street he believed the committee plan prefera bIe and cer- tainly more prompt of action
 James A. WeIch declared that he, too, would like to see this work done right, and if it is done right, it will be the first time the council did such things right. Councilman Langworthy favored the appointment of commits sion and then, perhaps. the work could be done right. He asked MT. Welch if the plan included the widen ing of Union street.
 William Segar said it was not the sense of the taxpayers that Union street should be converted into a bou levard, but that there should be a change in the grade of the street This widening business was news to him.
 Mr. WeIch said there had been no talk of widening the street except as uttered by Councilman Langworthy. and it looked to him as bluff for de- Samuel H. Davis favored the ap
 pointment of a committee, and If q commission was needed later they could be readily appointed.
 Town Solicitor Agard said that no commission could be appointed at the present meeting, nor could be appoint ed until the owners of property af- fected were given notice that com mission was to be appointed. He said if private property was involved in the change of grade in Union street there was no real necessity of appoint ing a commission at present. The following motion presented by Councilman Saunders and seconded by Councilman Flynn, was unanimously adopted:
 Voted, That there be committee of three appointed to procure plans, specifications and bids for the pro- posed improvements and lowering of grade on Union street (which were re- ferred to this town council by fnan- cial town meeting held June IA. 1910), ard if said improvements can be made
 within S1S,000 said committee to pro- ceed with said work immediately
 Upon motion of Councilman Saun- ders the following men who served on the improvement committee and who are not members of the council, were named the committee: Albert N. CrandaI. William Clark and Cliff ford w. CaWbeIl. President Clarke re- marking. three C's, that will see their way clearly.
