 Health Officer Lewis Stanton has
 taken active measures to prevent the
 spread of diphtheria in the White Rock
 section of the town! of Westerly: Two

 other children in the family who have

 Following the example Of the gov ernment in building a dry we'll around a practically dead tree to the top of the new grade level in the rear of the new postotfice building, the Wilcox park trustees have ordered a similar dry well around the trunk of live elm near by. and within the park limit that is to be regarded. A chestnut tree near the boundary line is to be trans planted. The trustees have finally de- He superintendent of the park. to change the original plan of grading. that would involve the destruction of the present beautiful lawn between the Memorial and the postof7ce buildings. 1T stead of charging the grade of the entire lawn, changes will be made in the front near the entrance and in the rear of the lawn to a point beyond the Memorial building and to the rear of the postOfice.
 This will obviate the proposed gradual ascent from and descent at the park in connection with the en- trance near the postoffice. This can be done by building 9 terrace along the postOffice enclosure on the grade line of the granite copings, instead of mak- ing a general change in grade to con- form to that grade line.
 The tiling tor the roof of the post office has finally arrived and will be placed as soon as possible. The in- terior is ready for clustering and the covering of the window openings with cloth is taken as indication that the plasterers will soon commence work.
