 The Watch Hill Improvement so- ciety petitioned for special appro- highway between Westerly and Watch Hill, for the roads at Watch Hill and for the grading of streets that will permit the building of sidewalks, Councilman Haswell said the matter had been given consideration and the conclusion reached that the work could not be done without special ap- propriation, that. is done as 1t should be, but that the road could be patched up for perhaps $s.oo0 or $10.0o9. but to rebuild the expense would be much more. Councilman Flynn was oppcs- ed to the patchwork plan, as it would be waste of public money. He favored town meeting for action in the matter.
 Clerk Whipple suggested that no meeting be held until after the tax book was completed, as then the debt limit would be established.
 Councilman Robinson stated that the increase would perhaps be about $10,000 and if that was used it could only apply to patch work of the Watch Hill road. It was voted on motion of Councilman Flynn to refer the matter to financial town meet | ing to be held Tuesday, November g. Attorney A. B. Crafts called atten- ton to the condition that prevails al a turn in the road near the B. F.
