Prevarication Chief
 Asset Of Calamity Howlers, Says CuHop

On July 2d the gentle man from Washington fMr. Humphreys an nounced that the Showers Manufacturing Go, Of Bloomington, Ind, the largest factory in my dis tricty had c losed for want of business. He reiterates that statement again today. Nothing could have been farther from the fact. When he made that State ment July a,I telegraphed to Bloomington about the matter and received the following reply from the s manager of the Showers company, Oscar Gravens:
 Showers factory has enjoyed the most prosper ous year in it's 40 years business It always closes the week of July for vaca1 tiohs. twill resume work next Monday with a full force of 1 GOO men, with orders enough to run till Christmas. Stone opera tors forced to work their men 12 hours a day to. get out orders. Every factory in Bloomington is running full force, and the Wilson administration is being commended by all except the Republican calamity howIers.',
 Now, if that issthe kind of calamity that the gen tlenan from Washington means in my district, I wish he would give us more of it. Not only the Showers factory, which is , said to be the largest fac tory of it's kind in the world, is prosperous, but
 
 Bloomington is a city in the heart of the ollitie limestone district in In diana, and the mills are not able to fill their orders in that territory, and to- day they are building three new stone mills, at an aggregate cost of $180, GOO, to meet the increased demand for their product.
 Tn addition to that, in the city of Bloomington they Are building private dwellings and business houses costing over $500, GOO, every factory is run ming to it's fullest capacity, and business was never betterA in that city than it is today. On Monday fol- lowing the Fourth of July vacation the Showers fac tory started up, employing a thousand men, 200 more than bhe gentleman from Washington said were turned out of employment, and on that day it received 400 additional new orders. Rather prosperous, 1t seems to me. -Representa tive Vim. GulIop, of Indi- ana, in a speech in the. E House.

Getting Ready for State Highway Work-Teacher's Birthday CeIebrat- ed-Building Company Meets.

 Few Changes in Highway.
 The new state highway to be built between StOnington borough and MyS- tic will follow, with the exception of a few minor changes the present high way. This statement was made by the board of seIectmen at the regular monthly meeting in the borough Mon day. The engineers estimate that the StoningtOn- Mystic road will cost ap- proximately $45000, and of this the towns expense will be about SS,000 The work at Wequetequocl< is costing about $40 900, so the town is due to get about SS5, 900 or $90 900 worth of new highway before the summer is over, at an expense to the town of about St, 600 and the expense of road maintenance will be borne by the state. In the case of the Mystic-S -Stonington stretch alone the town will save $1 300 annually and will have a far better road than 1t ever had before.
 Work on the new road will be be- gun as soon as the matter of land damages has been settled with what few property owners are to be affect ed by the proposed change in the lay out these being at the sharper curves along the route.

Committee.
 Westerly. R. l., March 4, 1914.
 The report was read by Everett Barns and at the time of reading only Fl taxpayers were present and the number was materially increased as the meeting progressed.
 Judge Edward M. Burke moved that the report be received, placed on file and the committee discharged The motion prevailed.
 When the matter of asking for leg Isiative authority to increase the dis trict indebtedness MT. Barns explain ed that this was inserted in the call so that the business could be com pleted at one meeting.
 Everett Whipple stated that if the meeting did not vote to purchase a fire apparatus there was no necessity for asking power to increase the debt limit above the present $7.000 limit.
 Frederick Pierce asked for infor1na- ton from Chief Cottrel1, but before response was made Judge Burke stated mat the action taken on the report indicated that there was no intent to expend any money for fire apparatus. He made motion that no request be made of the general assembly for power to increase the debt. The mo- tion was not seconded.
 Mir. Barns said it was necessary to improve the present fire system and that something should be done in that line
 Judge Burke thought it would be proper to have an idea of the plan and the cost of improved efficiency pro- posed, before taking any action toward purchase of additional apparatus. The judge did not want to force the motion as he was not opposed to d free dis cussion.
 Mir. Whipple said that in case new hfe apparatus was desired it was nec- essary to act at this time, or no pur- chase could be made before next year as the legislature would not meet again until that time
 Thomas Perry asked as to the ex- pense of the proposed apparatus and MT. Barns said a chemical and hose wagon would cost from s4,50O to s6,000 and tractor about half that amount. In the matter of horses, he said the committee did not consider

the horses adequate and that they would be more expensive than the motor-drtven apparatus in the long run.
 Richard J. Rooney asked if there was possibility of any horses being in the vicinity of the fire house within a short time that would be equal to fire service.
 Assistant Chief Egger favored horses as preferable to motor driven appar- atus.
 Mir. Whipple made motion that the Westerly fire district request the gen. eral assembly to increase the debt limit of the district from $7,00O to S15,- 900. He did this to provide for action that may be taken in the future in re- gard 10 the purchase of motor driven fire apparatus, it being the sense of the meeting thus far that there was to be no vote passed at the meeting for the purchase of fire apparatus or horses.
 David StiIlman was opposed to in- curing any additional expense on the fire district.
 Thomas Perry. speaking to the Whipple motion. said that authority to increase indebtedness did not mean the expenditure of any more money than at present
 Judge Burke stated that if the com mittee had suggested or recommended new apparatus and the cost of mainte- nance, there would have been some thing tangible for definite action on the proposition. He was not opposed to the motion of MT. Whipple to get authority from the general assembly to increase the debt limit.
 Mr. Whipple did not believe that even the purchase of new apparatus would cause an increase in taxation of any material amount. The Whipple motion was put upon it's passage and carried unanimously.
 Frederick Pierce made motion that the committee be reappointed and re- quested to procure facts and figures and report to some future meeting. It was ruled that under the call no committee could be appointed
 On motion of MT. Whipple the vote receiving the report of the committee and discharging the committee was rescinded. He then moved that the report of the committee be received and the committee continued and be requested to prepare all data that is necessary in regard to the proposed improved efficiency of the fire depart ment, giving as definite figures as pos- sible. The vote was adopted unani- mously.
