Arnold, for the board of water commissioners, made 8 report on the prospective sewer system Tor the compact part Of the town ana could only report progress It was an important matter and it is well to go careful and make no mistakes. Super intendent Mckenzie stated that . ten tative system had been worked out
 and abandoned in 1904. It was shown then that the pipage to the outfall 1 would cost s112,5Oo. with cost of ss1,- GOO for disposal of sewerage and $l2,0O0 a year for maintenance. He said that modern systems of disposal of sewage were coming into vogue and it would be well to wait and give the commits sioners opportunity to make careful, intelligent and proper. investigation. The whole matter was left with the commissioners.
 Charles Perry offered a vote, in be- half of the Westerly Board of Trade, that the senator and representatives from Westerly be directed 0t secure
 legislation that will permit the estab-
 lishment Of a board of public works in Westerly to have charge of the water,
 sewer and highway departments.

 tor Arnold. Milo Clarke, George B.
 Utter, James M. Pendleton, Frederick
 c. Buffum, simon P. Nichols, Albert
 H. Langworthy and Thomas Mckenzie,
 the majority of disputants favoring de-
 lay of action. The problem was solved
 when Milo Clarkes amendment to MT.
 Perry's motion prevailed. It provided
 that committee of three be appointed
 to give careful investigation of the
 whole matter and report to the next
 financial town meeting. Milo M. Clarke,
 George B. Utter and Tristan D. Bab-
 cock, recommended by MT. Perry. were
 elected as the committee.

 sessor, stated that the town had not the right to rebate the tax of a private corporation and that redress could come only from the state legislature. The motion to remit prevailed.

 Coupcilmen Langworthy and MaxSon have declined renomination, and the committee has substituted Messrs. Robinson and Rogers. Wayland A. l Saunders of Bradford is a candidate I for reelection, but the committee has decided to substitute Charles Craig and will endeavor to force MT. Saunders | out of the council. Therefore there Is liable to be contest for fifth alderman and it is probable time will be given 1 for the taking of ballot. Mir. Saun- 1 ders has served several terms in the l council and was associated on the 1 highway committee with Councilmen l Langworthy and Maxson. The com 1 mittee's effort to keep Mir. Cully's name 1 off the slate did not succeed.
