IN the West street change, Alfred
Wills, who owns property on the east
size of the street, asked in relation to
the nature of the proposed change.
He was informed that the change was
to extend from Railroad avenue 42S
feet, this new bridge would be raised
about three feet and heightened about
1875 feet and would not change the
present condition of the Wills prop
crty. This change in grade woulu ex-
tCrd to the proposed entrance to the
rev freight yard.
The change in grade would extend
SIC feet nOrtherly from Railroad ave-
rue. The expense of these changes
would be borne oy the railroad COM
pany, ia consideration of the 1000
voted by the town for work in connee-
ton with the adjustment Of the Canal
street crossing.
Then came UP the proposition to
abandon Friendship street. in which
all the ahutting property is owned by
the railroad company. Attorney Smith
explained that deed of the new
Friendship street to the town of West
erly had been forwarded for official
sanction Of the board of directors and
as soon as it was returned the title
o, the new street would be given to
the town.
Councilman Flynn said that il there
was no particular need of abandoning
Friendship street just now he would
favor deferring action until the deed
of the new Friendship street was re-
oelved by the town of Westerly. At
torney Smith also favored such action
and the matter was deferred until
next meeting.

the stolen dress suit case filled with
machinisJ tools which Collins had stol-
