 Miss Caroline Hazard is to have a kindernarten building erected in Peace Dale as memorial to her moth .er. Mrs. Rowland Hazard, whq was keenly interested in educational work. She was sponsor for the first kinder
 garten opened in Washington County, the. school which had it's inception in the Stepping stones in the read of the present Hazard Memorial. The new building, for which the foundations are already laid. is to be on Spring street. northeast of the Peace Dale Congre gational church. It ] is to he 46x34 feet in size, an dentrante will be through 9 1G-foot hall. The main floor, facing south, will be 2oX33 | a smaller class room with open fire place. A teachers room. coat room 1 and dressing roam are also on the | main floor, while in The basement is a large playroom with cement floor for use in stormy weather. It is 1 expected the building will be ready for occupancy about Christmas time. Much interest naturally is attached | to the disposition of the estate of Miss ] Lyra Brown Nickcrson, who died at 1 Nara gansett Pier "Wednesday and
 
 | in Providence Friday.
 According to the new tax list made I public Friday Miss Nickerson was 1 taxed in Providence for $769,9S0 but i the value of her estate is estimated
 as high as s6.o0o.o00. This she in- herited from her grandmother Mrs | Jane Brown wife of J. R. Brown, | formerly of the Brown & Sharpe Man ] ufacturing Co. The disposition of such l a large estate is a matter not simply of curiosity but of great public in 1 terest. and there is much speculation I concerning. the probable contents of i Miss Nicl1erson's will, particularly as 1 the young woman had no close rela- 1 lives, the nearest being cousins. l An interesting feature of the case i is the belief entertained at Narragan- 1 yett Pie~. where Miss Nickerson died 1 that shcp.lv before her death she made l some provision for Henry G. Clarke of Shamrock. to whom she was en- I gagged to be married October 4. It is | the general understanding at the Pier 1 that Miss Nickerson was visited dur i ing her illness by a lawyer and that a 1 codicil to her will was prepared. This | is believed to have been provision 1 for Mr. Clarke.
