WHAT IS INTERESTING WESTERLY Y
Senator Hewitt Holds Hearing Matter of Health Officer for Pawcatuck- Reception New Baptist Pastor and Wife Mothers Day Observance Principal Maryott Leav- ing High School.

Benjamin H. Hewitt, state senator from the Shoestring district. held a semi public hearing on his own ac- count Saturday afternoon in the office of William A. Wilcox, in the village of Pawcatuck, town of Stonington The subject matter was the consideration of the bill, presented by Representa- tive Bourbon A. Babcock of Pawca- tuck, providing for a deputy health officer for Pawcatuck, which has been passed in the house and tabled in the senate. Health Officer Congdon is op- posed to the innovation, so is County County Health Officer Browning, and so are several senators. who are sat- isfied that one competent health officer is ample for the town of Stonington.
 Senator Hewitt did not confine his inquiry to the residents of Pawcatuck, but invited practicing physicians of Westerly to the hearing to show cause, if an ythey had, why the Babcock bill should receive senate sanction and be- come law. There is but one physi- clan resident of the village of Pawca- tuck and as it is the custom in this section of the state to appoint phy- sicians as health officers. he would be the only person eligible for the pro- posed position.
