Representative Owen of Providence has presented a resolution in the Rhode Island general assembly pro viding compensation for the commis- sion on the construction of the court house in Westerly, which was built in connection with the town hall, and by the same contractor. The resolu- ton was referred to the finance com mittee. The commissioners wers ap- pointed to arrange for the building and furnishing of the court house and for which the state appropriated s50,- 900, the site being donated by the town of Westerly. Although there is a distinct separation by.a hallway of the town and state buildings, in the exterior it is one splendid granite building.
 The resolution presented by MT. Owen carries with it an appropria- tion of s4,5oo: The commission is composed of Judge Willard B. Tan ner, Senator Louis w Arnold and Representative Abram L. Atwood and if the resolution is adopted, each will receive S1, 800 for services rendered the state
 Senator Arnold is the resident mem Der of the commission and devoted much of his time to the work and the sum assigned to him is not extrava- sant. The two other gentlemen of the commission did very little in con- nection with the construction and fur nishin2 of &he building and S1500 to them will be velvet, just like find ing money. No mention was made of com pensation when the commission was appointed, but il was plainly stat ed that S50,000 would cover the en- tire cost of construction and furnish ing the building

 Measurements were taken again on Thursday of the distance between the railroad station, from point in the centre of the baggage room door to the front door of the new post office to determine whether the transfer or malls would still deyolve upon the railroad company or be assumed by the federal government through the post office department. The measure rnents were taken jointly by James Noonan, of Boston, assistant super1n- tendent of the railway mail service, and William c. Nichols, representing the New York New Haven and Hart ford Railroad compnay. The delivery distance of the railroad company IS 1920 feet and the actual distance is l,SlS IeSL, put DN ClOSS uiedSuI S1lSAlEo and allowances by reason of door sills, the figures were changed, but left the distance within the railroad limit by just four inches. Therefore if those figures are accepted the railroad com pany will attend to the transfer of the mails as in the past, when the new post office is in operation.
 The baggage r{om at the new stat tion is located in the east end farth- est removed from. the new postoffice. It is evident that when the new sta ton was erected measurements were taken from the entrance of the old post office building that stood on the site of the new, the entrance to which is many feet nearer the railroad sta tion By the change in post offices the mail carriage to Watch Hill and Pleasant View will be lessened three hundred feet and the service to Ash away and North Stonington will be increased the same distance.
