When permits are granted by the council to move houses, in the future, Superintendent Kehoe, of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company, sug gested that the contractor who moves the buildings shall be required to pay all the expenses incidental to the house moving. To say nothing of the inconvenience to public traffic, the company had been to an expense of $11o for the removal of wires in the moving of the old railroad station, and Contractor Ecclestone says he will pay only one half of the expense
 Manager Spellman. of the Westerly Light and Power company, said $125 had been paid by his company for the removal of wires and Mir, Blackstone offered to pay one half, He could see no reason why the company should bear any expense in a matter that was a profit for someone else. He said the company appreciated the fine treat ment it had received from Westerly and he had no fault to find with Con- tractor Ecclestone who had kept agreements with the company. If the moving of a building was for the pub lie benefit there would be no protest from the company by reason of any expense incurred

 MT. Lynch quoted several places that had decided in favor of the use of round rather than the squared poles. He said it was necessary to get the squared poles from the south in order to get the required length while round poles would be an aid to local industry be more seryiceable, safer, and of better appearance than the squared poles.

NIT. Buffum said that when the land was given for highway purposes there was tacit understanding that the sur face of the road was to be tarred.
 Councilman Maxon asked if there was not a reason for the change in construction.
 Mir. Buffum replied that of course there must be 8 reason, but he did not know what it was. He had been told that a tarred road in another section of the state had not proven satis- factory. In his opinion the reason was that only twelve parts of tar was used while the Shore road was eighteen parts tar.
 Councilman Flynn said the town had no control over the state road and could only petition that the work be continued on the tar system No action was taken.
