 Clerk WhippIe suggested as a mat ter of economy in light and heat, that the meetings of the Westerly Board of Trade be held hereafter in the council chamber instead of in the town hall, as that body paid no rental to the town. Councilman Flynn said that in financial town meeting the citizens had voted to give the Westerly Board of Trade the free use of the town hall for meetings and the vote should be respected. The board asked for the town hall, not the council chamber, and the request was granted with out any opposition. So the matter of expense is up to the town, not the council. All the other members of the council coincided with the views of Councilman Flynn and no action was taken on the clerks suggestion.
