The r. A. Sherman Sops company,

association plant. the foundations of
watch are now In course of conStruc
ton have received an additional con-
tract which will make a net increase
in space of 10000 feet over the original

The narrow approach to the Block
Island pier is to be enlarged and there
will be ample room for q team or auto
mobile to turn at the point where the
pier connects with the land. The Girls
CONS have erected a large house near
a. . -. +1.tc
point ana in Strengthening their prop
erty line have abandoned an obtuse-
angled triangular piece of land which
with a strip on the opposite side given
by Daniel Iarkin increases the APP
proach by about ten feet. This will
relieve the congestion that existed at
this point upon the arrival and depar-
ture of the boat and caused much in
convenience to excursion parties, as
well as to persons doing freight and
baggage business in connection with
the steamer Block Island.
There has been another change at
this point which will be appreciated by
the general public. A few years ago,
just after the completion of the pres
emit pier. the Griscoms caused a high
picket fence to be built along the
southern boundary of their property
on the shore, close to the pier, extend
ing from the sea wall to low water
mark, thereby depriving the public
rom the pleasures of the beach, from
the Larkin bathing beach to the light
house. Objection was made to this OBJ
struction by the Westerly town coun-
Gil, when the matter was brought up
by Councilman Flynn, who claimed
that no one had legal right ito con-
struct such fence to low water mark.
1t Is evident that the matter was
brought to the attention of the Girls
CONS, for now all that section of the
renee That extended beyond the f:gh
water mark has been removed
1t has been further decided that the
road leading to the life saving station
and posted as a private way is not
private way but is legally open to puo-
lie use. There is also decision that the
public has the right to stroll on the
west beach and to hold family picnios
in the shade Of the big rock or else
where without legal interference from
Anuttlns property owners who have
heretofore oroered visitors from the
beach on the claim that they were
