Although there was discussion at three sessions of the financial town meeting before it was finally voted to appropriate the sum of s1S.000 to de- fray t1e expenses of changing the grade of Union street, there is a secret effort to thwart the vote of the peo- pie as expressed in town meeting. The leaders of this secret opposition are said to be those who did not attend the third session of the town meeting but who felt confident that the project would be defeated and who had no special desire to be open opponents of the plan, and therefore were not preS- ent when the vote was taken.
 There is evidence of a studied delay in the carrying out of the vote of that meeting, and there are citizens who have the courage to declare that Cook ey Hill will be covered with snow and another season or two intervene be- fore the actual work os commenced.
 The vote of the town meeting in- Structed the town council to go ahead with this work immediately in the reg ular and legal way and have the work completed with the least possible de- lay. The town council meets regularly the first Monday of each month, but it was supposed that there would be a special meeting preliminary to carry ing the vote into effect, and that it would have been held during the pres ent week. No meeting was called, how ever, and there is nothing to indicate that there is to be a meeting the com- ing week to act upon this mater.

There is now considerable interest manifested among the business men of Westerly and the people generally as to who will be the successor of the late PostnFa ster Walter Price. The leading andidateS are Charles J. Butler, who has been assistant postmaster for over twenty years, and Senator Louis w. Arnold mill owner, and who has rep resented Westerly in the state senate for many years and who is a popular citizen
 It was anhounced that Representa- tive Albert H. Langworthy was also a candidate for postmaster, but this IS denied Mir. Langworthy and William Segar were on the bond of Walter Price, and they are both favorable to the appointment of MT. Butler and ready to qualify as his bondsmen. A petition for the appointment of, MT. Butler is being signed by nearly all who have been asked to affix their sig nature. The few that have declined give as reaso that they had pledged to the support of another before they had knowledge that MT. Butler was a candidate for the office
 Friday morning Assistant PostInaS- ter Butler received from the depart ment the customary blank for the sig nature of the bondsmen in the event of the removal of pOStnlaSterS by death or other cause before the expiration of term of appointment In this way the bondsmen nominate the acting postmaster and are continued on the bond until such time as a regular ap- pointment is made by the president, subject to congressional confirmation.
 The bondsmen have designated, Charles J. Butler as acting postmaster to date from June fl, he to receive the regular salary of postmaster. MT. But Ter is the senior assistant postmaster in Rhode Island and therefore thor oughly competent to perform all the duties of the office
