Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-20

038.25. MT. Langwor'thy offered vote appropriating $S.00O for the purposes specified, and same was adopted.
 Before adoption, Milo Clarke asked if the committee had any estimate of the cost of extending the pavement for the full length of Broad street. MT Langworthy replied thae no such estt- mate had been obtained.
 The second proposition, an additional appropriation to the regular town hall approximation, was then taken up. Clerk Whipple presented vote that an additional appropriation of $1,200 be made. He explained that it was not for an addition to the new town hall appropriation, but an addition to the ular appropriation was inadequate as had been made annually for the past forty years. He explained that the reg ular appropriation was 1nadequatee as 1t was planned to take advantage of a long term of insurance on the new town hall. and also to take advantage of the builders insurance now in force. There would be also additional janitor expenses and other details. He said the resent insurance was for $40000. He favored an increase to S65,000 and for term of five years
 Joseph T. Murphy offered an amend nent to the motion of Clerk Whipple that the insurance on the building be divided as equally as possible among the nine local insurance agents. He said taxpayers should all have a share in the towns business and that no favorites should be played.
 Moderator Pendleton ruled Mir. Mur phys amendment out of order, as t was not germane to the call for the meeting. which simply asked for ap additional appropriation
 MT. Murphy submitted, but said that he believed the taxpayers had the right to determine how their money was to be expended.
 Clerk Whipple said he was in full accord with the sentiment of Mr. Mur- phy. At present about all the insur- | ance on town property was held by one agent, and he believed there should be equal division to representatives of standard and reliable companies, that were acceptable to the town council Ira B. CrandaII suggested that the l insurance be taken with mutual com l panies, as 1t would be saving of one third in cost to the town.
 The vote approprtating $1.2o0 was then carried unanimously. The motion authorizing the town treasurer to hire the money required to comply with the vote adopted was carried, and the meeting adjourned.
 The annual messages from the su- pervisors of elections in Westerly, which accompanied the ballots cast in the recent election, were read at the regular session of the state returning board in Providence Monday. The message from the First representative district was as follows:
 We wish to state that at the polls three citizens desired to vote namely, Charles E. Andrews, William c. An drews and Lyman Harnm As the names did not appear on the voting list they were denied the privilege. They desired to register their protest and this report is made in order that the returning board may have knowl edge of the same"
 The message from the Second rep resentative district was as follows. 'Day was beautiful. Voting was very steady, without marked rush except at noon hour. A noticeable feature was the use of the circle at the top of the ballots. Not an intoxicated individual entered the voting hall during the en- tire day"
