Visitors to Watch Hill will note
considerable changes in Bay street
since last season, which will serve to
give an idea of the improvements to
follow gradually and which when
completed. will beautify the entire
surroundings and change the general
aspect of water approach view. In
addition the changes made last season
on the south side of Bay street, the
buildings occupied by the Segar gro
Gerry store. the Burke market and art
store, the shore dinner house and the
Chapman grocery and two smaller
structures, have been moved. The
large office building of Frank Larkin
used in connection with the bathing
business. has been moved quite a dis
lance from it's former location and
now is about twenty feet in the rear
of the bathing houses and parallel to
the beach. while the house that stood
next to this building and used as the
Larkin dwelling during the summer
season, has been moved to the south
ward and beyond the office building
This leaves a great vacant space Just
west of the merry go-round which Mr.
Larkin will probably fence in for the
present, pending contemplated i'm
provemsnts.
The plans of widening the road at
this point that is, from the Frank
Larkn property to the Watch Hill
IS hart. provides for the making of Bay
street twenty feet wider than it was
last season. The Watch Hill fire dis
trict has decided the land to the town
Of Westerly and the work OF widening
and rebuilding the roadway will be
done under the supervision of the
highway committee and at the ex-
pense of the town of Westerly, of
which Watch Hill lis q part 1t is ex-
pected that this work win be finished
before the opening of the season.
