Thus far the saloons of Westerly
have received monthly visitations from
the police authorities, indicating that
there is surveillance of their doings
aside from the observations of the po-
hcenen in the course of their regular
patrol duty. A month ago Councilman
Culley OF the police committee and
Town Solicitor Agard, accompanied by
Chief of Police Bransfield, made the
grand rounds just to get an idea as to
the conduct of the saloons Of Westerly,
and to remind the licensed dealers of
the necessity Of strict compliance to
law. The dealers were evidently pleas
ed with the visit and the visitors
seemed satisfied.
Last Saturday Chief BransfieId made
the tour of inspection and left with
each dealer printed copy Of the laws
relating to the sale Of intoxicating
liquors. so that the dealers might ia
miIarize themselves with the privll-
eyes and restrictions that the laws
specialize. 1t is the intention of the
police authorities to strictly enforce
the liquor laws, and it was consld-
cred but fair TO the dealers that they
should be given opportunity to under
under the license system for the first
under the Hcenes system for the first
time in Westerly.
