The work of widening, straighten-

The work of widening, straighten-
ing and improving Beach street from
River Bend to Thompsons corners is
going forward rapidly and will not
cause any interference to public traf-
fic when the summer season opens at
Watch Hill, as the work will be COM
pleted by that time. The walls have
been set back along the whole stretch
on the west side of the road and in
parts of the opposite side. 1t is an
Improvement that will be appreciated
by the general public as well as the
summer visitors, and perhaps later
this plan of widening the road will be
carried on farther down on the Watch
Hill road proper. where there are
stretches OF road-aShat are too narrow
for public convenience and safety.
In connection with the Beach street
Improvement, the new wall along the
property of the Marist Fathers will be
of rustic design. and the changes pro-
vide for a sidewalk along the ceme-
terry and Marist properties, in addi-
ton to the road widening The trolley
tracks will be moved farther to the
westward and where there is q long
curve now the road will be straight
ened to ado to the general improved
appearance. Part of the work is being
done by the working force of the high
way department. While the rebuilding
of the wall is BY contract work.

it is expected that the governor Will
name the commission this week. While
the plan provides for a brick building

readily changed to native Westerly
granite should the people of Westerly
so decide. provided, of course. the
matter of material would not affect
the court accommodations and be
within the states proportion of cost
of construction.
The plans provide for handsome
structure Of two stories. Both upper
and lower stories at the front of the
building will be occupied as the town
hall, while the two stories at the rear
will constitute the court house. While
essentially separate buildings, the two
will be connected merely by the stair
case hall which will run the entire
length and to the rear of the town
hall. The main entrance to the court
house, however. will be through the
town han. On the main floor OF the
town hall will be situated the office of

rooms of the superior court. On this
