krhe posted placards, ~John Ander- son. My Joe,' in Hibernian hall. Tues day e*ening, at 7.80. Come and hear l1iza. He's a bonnie good Scotchman for men only," received response from quite a number of men inter- ested in the restoration of Westerly to the no-license column. MT. Ander- son Is a resident of Cambridge, contributor to the Christian Endeavor World and is in the regular employ of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon league, being classed among the best speakers in the service.
 MT. Anderson brides himself as be- ing a typical Scntchman, with the burr that never wears off, and has the wit and characteristics of his race, which. with his ability and forceful- ness, makes him an attractively pleas ing stage orator. He is learned in all that pertains to the temperance ques- tons, and has made the no-license topic @ speciality for several years. Therefore he had no difficulty in firing hot shots of figures and facts into the license camp. He, of course, told of the degradation and crime caused by rum and painted word pictures of the good effects of no-license as against the horrors resulting from license. He told how the license laws were strict ly enforced in Massachusetts, and how the same could be done in Westerly. HeA piled argument upon argument against license, and spoke of tie sys- tematic effort being made in Westerly for improvement in a moral condition and prophesied ultimate success at the polls next Tuesday. During his in- teresting address reference was made to the kitchen barrooms, which he described as almost as far reaching for all that is against good govern ment as is the licensed saloon. He urged the strict enforcement of the liuuor laws in any event, whether the town went back into it's own in the 'no-license column or strayed away from the path that leads to salvation
 MT. Anderson visited Westerly upor invitation of the no-license commit tee, which is working on systematic basis against the continuance of liq- Jor license in the town. Other speak CTS will visit Westerly before election day, and next Sunday there will bs special sermons in favor of no-licenss in most of the churches.
 The taxpayers of Westerly, desirou. ef general improvement of the high. ways, when assembled at the annua financial town meeting, made, in ad- dition to the regular appropriation several special appropriations fol highway improvement: but as yet tn, members of the town council hay, made no move towards carrying ou the expressed wish of the taxpayers
 Provision was made for the exten sion of the granite block pavement il Main street from School to Cros, street, but so far as known the high way committee has made no move to ward having the work done, either b. the street department under the di rection of the highway commissions or by contract. Provision was als, made for macadamizing the highwa, from the Bradford station to the Hop Enton line, but there has been noth ing doing in that line.
 A citizen of Westerly, who is heav, taxpayer, argues that a vote of tn town meeting should be construed a an order to the town council He sai
 that about four years ago provision , was fully made for a change in grad of Union street for it's entire lengtt from Main to Broad streets, but noth ing has been done. Subsequently, tn
 council voted to change the grad from the crest of the hill to Broa street in order to conform to the grad line of the new town building an
