 The case of Frank w Coy Real Es- tate company and Katherine Welch against the town of Westerly, through James NJ. Pendleton, treasurer, was heard in demurrer before Judge Tan ner in the superior court for Provi- dence county, Wednesday. The de- murrer was overruled and defendant allowed to plead. John J. Dunn and Lewis A. Waterman, counsel for the plaintiffs, and Harry B. Agard for de- fendant. This case is an outcome of matters connected with the construc- I1OIl O1 lue Sldte IlSnNdH on the Post road. Change was made in the new layout which carried it through land of defendants, and, dealing with the representa- ativeS of the town of Westerly, the town agreed, in consid- eration of the land given for highway purposes, to have certain walls re- built, according to specifications, and to do other work there, made neces- sary by the change in the layout of the highway.
 .. In the meantime, and before the work was completed, representatives
 took the whole matter over, agreeing with the town to do for the defend ants property what the town of West i erly had agreed to do. This has not been done, to the satisfaction of the ! plaintiffs, and after several confer l ences with the Westerly town council action was brought against the town l of Westerly as the only party in the l transaction known to the plaintiffs | Should this case be tried to compile ton and judgment be against the de- fendant, the town of Westerly must seek redress from the state board of public roads of the state of Rhode l Island.
 Charles J. Butler, chairman of the committee appointed by the Westerly Fire district, to investigate the mat ter of purchase of a motor apparatus for the Alert Hook 6 Ladder company accompanied by Chief Engineer Sam
 uel G. Cottrell, went on tour of in spection Thursday, and the expected result is the recommendation of the purchase of the desired apparatus for | the Alerts. They will visit the plant | of the Maxim company, builders of 1 the two motor-driven apparatus now 1 in the Westerly department, and ex- anime apparatus of other makes in
 Boston and vicinity. With the pur- chase of this apparatus the Westerly l department will be completely motor l ized.
 The Alerts' present apparatus is
 owned by the company and this will be cheerfully given over to the fire 1 district in part payment for the mod
 ern apparatus, and this may aid in
