Councilman Thomas and Haswe4 explained that the toilet houses were on the land of Frank 1arkin for many years, free of charge. and, as the land was required Tor another purpose. notice was given that the houses be removed. The com mittee made a special effort to get another location and no offer to CO., operate came from the Watch Hill Im- proNement society, or anybody else at Watch Hill, so the buildings were taken away and disposed of at a sacri- flee. Now it would seem to be hut proper that toilet service be supplied py the Watch Hill Improvement socie- ty.
 Councilman Robinson was of the opinion that it was up to the town of Westerly to provide toilets at Watch Hill. Councilman Thomas replied that the Watch Hill Improvement society wanted to get rid of the buildings, forced the town to dispose of them, and now the Improvement society should furnish the buildings and loca- ton.
 Councilman Flynn said the council should try to serve the public in this matter, and if the Watch Hill people will not furnish a location the town should place toilets in public highways as is done in some cities,
 Councilmen Thomas, Flynn and Robinson were appointed committee, with power to act, in relation to the re establishment of public toilets at Watch Fiill
