WESTERLY OFFICER RESIGNS
Elery Barber Declines disappointment Watch Hill Duty
 Irregular Paving of Broad Street-Town Hall Building Now in Two Districts-Panter Fractures Hip by Fall.

that a change in the grade of the side walk at the corner of Broad and Main streets would be effected, but the project has been abandoned and real opportunity for public improvement has passed. It was impossible Tor the highway committee and the owner of the property to reach an amlcaole agreement, and the usual procedure in such cases was not resorted to. in consequence the paving IS being lalq to conform to the old grade. The curb ing at the Chapman corner is below the street level: the raising of the sidewalk grade would not only be for the public good but would also inn prove the property conditions and, perhaps, put an end to the occasional controversy in regard to water enter ing the cellar of the building.
 The curbing at the Clarke corner and also at the St. Clair corner is also be- low the street level and will probably remain so until there is public demand for the needed improvement which will carry with it a change in the grade of the section now being paved. It is expected that when the matter of paving the balance of Broad street IS reached that there will be change in the grade and the mound in Dixon square removed. The time may come when Westerly may realize that It Is not economy to improve streets on patchwork basis.
 The dividing line of the First and Second districts has been changed iust enough so that apart of the town hall building is within the First district. This was done in order that the town hall could be used as the polling place for both districts, although the voting will be separated and be under the direction of two distinct boards Of election officers. In preparation for the June election the temporary pipe line fences have been erected on either side of the hall and the new canvas col lapsible voting booths will be used for the first time. The election officers will have place within the enclosure assigned for the respective districts.
 Charles Baldwin. while engaged in painting the clubhouse of the Sterling Boat club, near OsbTook grove, Sun day, fell from a ladder and his left hip was fractured. He also received other injuries. He was conveyed by motor boat to Westerly and carried on a stretcher to the railway station and placed on board the 457 train for New I london. There he was met by the am bulance and taken to Lawrence hospi- tai He was attended by Dr. Frank I. Payne at the site of the accident. Mir. Baldwin realized that he could not be properly cared for at his home in Westerly and asked to be sent to the new Lawrence hospital. MT. Baldwin was q former resident of New London, where he managed restaurant.

because we have not the proper atmos-

portunities for hearing orchestral music,
for hearing chamber music and for soc

the attendance at concerts and operas,

Of them given In most OF our cities, even

many thousands OF dollars, which most
of the symphony managers report at the

that the education Will be very slow and
very expensive and that 1t should be
supplemented by something more and
something different. Symphony and
chamber music concerts are a vital part
OF our musical life; but we also need
lighter orchestral concerts for those who
do not yet enjoy the expression of the
more complicated musical forms. Even

portunity to cultivate q tast for the more

be accomplished only In one of two ways

proportion of them, either from choice

students and must have popular orches-
trail music kept before them until they
have acquired the habit OF attendance
upon concerts. Then 1t is only matter
Of time before their minds begin to
prospect a little upon the subject of
the other forms Of orchestral music. and
