tits practically settled that the con-
tenpiated widening Of Bay street will
be postponed for the present season at
least. The, plan was to widen the main
Watch Hill. thoroughfare ten feet by
moving the remaining buildings back
that distance, the Watch Hill fire dis
trict to- deed the strip of land to the
town or Westerly for highway pur-i
poses, and the filing and finishing
were to be done at the expense of the
town. A section where buildings have
already been removed could be filled
in at the present time, but the town
authorities are not disposed to fill in
private property Nor to widen any part
OF the stretch of street.
Before any of the work is started,
the land must be decided to the town,
and this can be done only after ia
vorable action by the Watch Hill fire
District, owner of the property 1t
mas been considered inadvisable to hold
a meeting for action on a matter of
that Importance unless all the property
owners can conveniently participate.
The meeting has therefore been de-
1erred until the summer season. when
all the cottage owners will be at the
Hill Hence the delay in improve
ment.
