 The exterior work of the new gram fec courthouse and town hall is com- pIexsd, with the exception of placing a few sections of copper cornice and the safting of portion of the roof. The interior work is rapidly progressing. The general grading of the property will be delayed, however, by the Vest erly town council and perhaps the Westerly fire district. The grading cannot go forward and proper en- trance be effected to the Union street side of the building, until the grade of that street is changed according to q plan already adopted and for which financial provision has been made. It 1s proposed to change the grade, be- ginning with zero at the farther end ? of the fire house and then proceeding down to Broad street on five per cent. grade. the plan providing for the widening of the street for that dis- tance, and increasing the width to sev- en feet at the end of the street.
 The building was erected to con- form to the proposed new grade and therefore this must be done in order that the contractor can complete the grading part of his contract. In this connection the central fire house will have to be lowered, several feet, and, in order to conform to the line of the new building, must be moved, back al least five feet and the present front line of the building changed. The fire house is the property of the West erly fire district and it is understood the district Is willing to divide the expense of the change with the town Two local contractors have been asked to submit figures for the contract fol change in the location of the fire house and 1t is therefore possible that the } work may be completed by Thanksgiv- ing.
