 Judge Tanner and Attorney Green ouGh expressed the belief that if the state decided to erect a new court house in Westerly it could readily be constructed at the same time as the town hall and adjoining the same. They said the method would prove saving to the state.
 They pointed out the various needs for a new court house in Westerly, and stated that the town had outgrown it's present town hall. The idea of erect ing the two buildings at the same time, and in conjunction with, each other. was advanced as the most eco nosnic7l method Of carrying ont this plan, and favored the state making the required appropriation.
