Watch Hill Is within the town of Westerly and for private line the rental for the season, three months, is $54 but that rental does not include service between the Villages of Westerly and Watch Hill The charge will be ten cents Hat for all calls between these vil- lages up to 100 calls, with a reduction of fifty ner cent for all calls in ex cess of $100. Therefore parties with branch stores at Watch Hill which average 300 calls during the season. will, in addition to the regular 'ele- IIlone TenIal, S04- pay $1O for the first 100 calls and $10 for the other 200 calls, making a total of STA for teIe- phone service.
