 Heavy Truck Sinks Through Old
 Bridge.
 The apparatus for oiling the streets as0ut town proved to. be toe heavy for the old wooden bridge over the She- tucket river on Railroad street, We'd nesday. The bridge did its best to sus- tain its heavy burden, but it was an other case where the spirit was willing but the flesh weak, and with sundry crashings and crea4Sings the timbers gave way and the heavy autetruek plunged part way toward the river but was held back by some of the tim bers of the bridge miFaculeusly fail ing to give way.
 After considerable work the great truck was gotten cut of the hole and off the bridge. but was silent fer the greater part of the day.
 First Seleetman Raymond J. Jodoin, who by this time ought to be used to this work from experience, quickly had men at work patching up the hole. If something is not done, and done quickly there may be a repetition of what happened to the smaller bridge.

Though still within the village class Westerly aside from the form Of gov ernment, Is a miniature city in so Tar as go matters of enterprise and pup lie convenience and interests. In aodl- ton to its beautiful civic centers park and public buildings, now plans nave been rfiade for a White Way te ex- tend from the new railway station to Dixon square The matter has been under consideration for some time by CoIncilmen William Culey and Manr- fee W, Flynn of the street light com nafttee and Manager Martin H. Spell man of the Westerly Light and Power company. Definite action has been finally taken and just as soon as tn- stallation is possible at least two nam m ing arc lamps will make bright the way from the railway station to the business center. This improvement IS to be made without additional expense to the town when the service to be rendered is considered in comparison with the present service
 Ano<fsr city idea that Chief of Po- lice Thomas E. Brown IS to recon, mend for adoption by the town council or its committees, is a substitute for A traffic officer in Dixon square, that work now being done by the only po- lice officer on duty in the day time He will suggest that a disc about IS
 
 in proper position in Dixon square to prevent the "cutting of corners" by motorists and others, and to have the idea backed up by a town ordinance. It would be compulsory for drivers to steer with more care, for if they pass tire marks on the same, they would be haible to arrest and prosecution.

 It has divulged that a part of the area which leads to the proposed new police station is on land owned by the Westerly fire district and over which the town has no control. Therefore it is essential that this piece of land be asfactory deed, can be given to the state. This little problem will be solved without friction, and as soon as this is done the state will accept the building and conform to all condi- tions.
 In the meantime the little matter of settling upon rental for the police sta ton, which is in the state building, will be adjusted.
