The shortest regular session of the Westerly town council, for the past decade at least, was that held Monday, which lasted just forty minutes, most of that time being consumed by the reading of the minutes and approval of the payment of bills. President Flynn jocular1y remarked that the short session might possibly be due to the absence of Counciln1en Robertson and Fowler, and the tardi1ess of Councilman Iarkir1.
 A bill of $27- for shrubbery at the main entrance to the town hall, caused few remarks. Councilmen Flynn and Haswell stated that local florists had complained for not being asked to make bids for the work, rather than have the shrubs supplied by a non resident. The matter was wholly with Town Clerk Whipple who stated that if local dealers desired to furnish the ornamental shrubs. they ought to have come forward with the suggestion that resulted in the ornamentation.

When engaged in the brokerage business in Boston he published a Set of ex- change tables. giving the exchange of dollars and cents from one penny to five thousand potinds. These tables are still in use. both in this country and in England, and a copy of them is preserved in the British Museum. One of his sisters was the mother of Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe, an other was the mother Of William Earl Dodge. the noted philanthropist of New York.
 Charles Cleveland was the son of Aaron Cleveland whom Miss CaaIhins describes 'as a man of wonderful yer satility of talent, a noted dwe1ler upon Bean Hill" Here in the house now be- cupied by Ren1us Stanton, Charles Cleveland was born June 21, 1772, and in 1885 was at the age of 93 years, living in Boston energetic and useful.
