They were besides the old lady, MT. and Mrs. George l.. Stillman, Mr. and Mrs. Allan l.. Thompson and their two children, Ruth Harriet and Edwin Pendleton Thompson, Mrs Thompsoh being the daughter of MT. and Mrs. George l.. Sttllman.
 The Stillrnan homestead was built in l74s and Is in excellent condition, although 1t is the oldest house in the town of Westerly. The house was built by, Elisha Stillman and has al ways remained in the possession of the StiIlman family. George l.. Still man, the present owner of the prop erty and his five brothers and a sis ter, were born there as was also their father, Joshua F. Sttllman and many others of the name.
 Mrs Maria Stillman has for the past six years resided with her son, George, in the village of Westerly and desired to spend her birthday at the old home stead. She expressed herself as much pleased with the days outing and in stnnced the fact that the visit recalled many pleasant memories Of the long ago, as well as some of the sad inci- dents of her life.

 The shoot the chute entrance to the new police station, located in the base ment of the state section of the new. town hall and courthouse, is being lowered several degrees not especially for the safety of policemen and pris oners but rather to better conform to the new grade of Union street, While the proposed new police station Is fully equipped, the police headquar- ters still remain in the basement of the old town hall building.
 It is said that delay in transfer is due to failure on the part of repre- sentatives of the town to show rep reSertafiyes of the state just why the police station was not located in the section of the building owned by the town and where there is ample room. 1t. is believed that when matters are adjusted the new police station will re- main where 1t is now located and that the town will pay rental to the state for the police station The furniture for the new police station was former fy. -in use in the office of the town GHH%K ana H6LGT COfuIn1SSlOnSIS.
