By the unanimou. action Of the state
! senate Tuesday it is made practically
| sure that the state will build court
house in Westerly in conjunction with
the proposed new town hall, all to have
the architectural appearance of being
one building. Some time ago Senator
Louis w. Arnold of Westerly presented
resolution calling for the appointment
OF a joint legislative committee to in
quire into the need for a new court
house at Westerly and as to the ad-
visibility of the construction of such a
building. The COMMITTEES was appoint
ed and visited Westerly ten days ago.
The committee made strong report in
! ravor of the proposed building show
ing the urgent need, and recommended
an appropriation for the purpose as the
states share OF the building, which
! with the site is to cost s125,O00. The
report carried with it the appointment
| OF a commission to represent the state
in the construction of the building
This report was referred to the finance
IeOnmittee, of which Senator Arnold is
the chairman.
At Tuesdays session Senator Arnold
l made favorable report for the finance
tcommittee and recommended the adop-
ton of the report of the special COM
tmittee and the accompanying act that
would make the recommendation eff
Ifective. The senator asked for the i'm
mediate passage of the act explaining
that this was necessary if the plans
of the committee were to be made op-
crative. The act was put upen its
Passage and carried without opposi-
ition. There is no doubt but favorable
| action win be taken by the house and
fhat the governor viii inlnediatel
thereafter appoint the commission pro-
lvided for in the act.
The site for the new building is at
the corner of Broad and Union streets
and the town has already an option
on the site and a vote has been passed
IN town meeting providing for the pur-
chase of the, site for a new town hall.
The required legislation viii now be
| asked by the town to finance the erec-
ton of the building.
