1t is expected that men who are even temporarily homeless, together with the professional tramps, will give Westerly and Pawcatucll a wide berth, as 1t has been decided that they will be denied lodging in the twin will lages.. A committee was appointed recently to investigate existing con ditious and make a report at 2. sub Bequent meeting. This committee was composed of Charles Perry, Rev. Sam uel AT. Cathcart, Councilman Maurice ". Flynn. SelectYnan Henry 4. Sta-hle and LeRov F'arnsworth
 This committee has determined that the erection of a lodging house, or even preparing a place for tranps in the police station. would tend to serve as a magnet and that this section would be a rendezvous for tranps and thereby encourage and increase the all tco large arnfSx> Of nomads. Therefore when any of this class strike town they will be ordered not to tarry, but should they happen to seek shelter in some hallway or shed in the win ter, OF seek repoSe on the greensward or park bench in the summer, they are liable to arrest and imprisonment. They will be given ne protection in Westerly or PaWcatuck. Exception is made when the person is ill and un able to proceed and needs medical at tention CT when the alleged tramp happens to be merely a runaway boy.

At the annual financial town meeting there was passed without opposition a resolution emanating from the Wes- terly town council which specified that the general assembly be asked 10 amend the law so that the annuai financial town meetings be held eve nings instead of mornings as at pres ent. The resolution was introduced in the town council by Councilman Mau- rice ". Flynn and was supported by him in town meeting. He explained that the great majority of the taxpay- CTS were unable to attend these, inn portant meetings in the morning, while if the meetings were held in the eve ming there would be larger and more representativ gatherings. As the mat ter was fairly and openly represented and no opposition appearing, it was supposed that the general assembly would grant the official request of Westerly without question.
 The solons have evidently been no tihed that there is opposition to. the change, for the committee to whom the matter was referred has decided to have a public hearing, before making report to the general assembly, In the Connecticut legislature public hearing is given on every measure introduced Not go in Rhode Island, where the com rlittees give public hearings only on such matters as they may select.
