Solicitor Agard stated that this
special matter had been referred to
him as town solicitor and that he had
filed the formal complaint with the
public utilities commission, with the
request that public hearing be held
in Westerly and believed he would re-
ceive notice of any hearing that was
proposed. He had received no such
notice. He had received word from
counsel for the Westerly Light &
Power company, that owing to pre-
vious engagement and for his accom-
mediation, the commission had defer
red action on hearing. Solicitor Agard
said he had not received from the
communication any notice of post
pOnement, or of any date set for the
hearing.
In response to a query from Coun-
Gilman Robinson, Solicitor Agard SAID
he had received no notice from the
public utilities commission, except ac-
acknowledgement of the receipt of the
complaint, and that he had so inform
cd Mr.. Coy.
SIR. Coy said there seemed to be
lack of business method in this mat
ter, and that it would be more bust
neSs-like procedure and that the ac-
ton of the council would be more
lignified if represented by the clerk
TO the public utilities commission.
Councilman HasweI said he could
not quite understand the public util-
ties commission giving a hearing to
the defendant and barring the COM
, plainant. BY vote the whole matter
was left with Town Solicitor Agard, to
| investigate at his convenience.

Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkall, which is very
INJURIOUS, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
Tho best thing to use is just plain

and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
SOAPS or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub Ii in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,

scntial for the building of perman-

h would assure the council that new
sidewalks would be built as soon as
