The furnishing of the new court house Is nearly completed and It VIII be the best equipped and most rlcnly furnished in the state. The Third dis trict court room and officers are on the first floor and the superior court and the attendant rooms are on the sec ond floor Senator Louis w. Arnold, a member of the state commission on the building and furnishings, has gwen the matter his personal supervision and there is no doubt that all who have to do with the courthouse will praise frfs efficient work Both court rooms and accessories are practically ready for occupancy, as IS also the poilce station in the basement, but there will probably be no formal occupation be- fore Sept I. or until the state has clear title to the site. and the town has arranged with the state for the use of the basement as police station.
 The building encroaches few feet on property of the Westerly nre ais 4rScf- which will be deeded to the town and will be included in the deed Of the town to the state. The delay in fffs matter has been caused by the absence of the attorney general from the state as the deed of property must be made to his full satisfaction.
 The work of changing the location of the fire house to be on line with the new town hall and courthouse is pro- 1resssinR satisfactorily. The house has been lowered four feet to conform to the new grade of Union street, and is now being moved back from the side walk line to the new foundation. This change in grade will afford side en- trance to the basement of the old town hall building which is to be utilized as e training school in connection with the school department of Westerly.
