 It appears that Westerly has been ridden of a case of leprosy and with out much trouble and very little ex- pense. Ralph B.. Russo, man with out property and without relatives or intimate friends, was taken i'll and Dr. Johnson sent him to the Provi- dence City hospital. It developed that the man had leprosy and thereby be- came public charge. Prior to being taken in charge by state authorities the expense at the hospital was s34.39, and the hospital expected pay from the town of Westerly. The bill was ordered paid.
 Thomas E. Brown, chief of police, reported eleven arrests in January, four for intoxication, three assault, and one each for theft. breaking and entering, non support, and assault with dangerous weapon, nineteen milk 1i- censes were granted.
 WiIbert A. Clark, petitioned for ap- pclntment on the police force, which bore signatures of merchants in the business centre in endorsement. It was announced that there were other applicants but that their applications were not handed in in defereuce to the fact that that the policeman who had died, and created a vacancy had not been buried. Action on the ap- plication was withheld. Before any application is considered applicants must comply with police regulations, which require physical examination and places the ages limit forty-f1ve years.
 Councilman Thomas E. Robinson stated that the council appointed d committee of three to go to Providence and attend a conference at the Rhode Island hospital, for the consideration of the hospital rule to require all towns sending charity patients to pay Tor their treatment and care. He said the council ought not to expect this committee to bear the joss of time and expense, and made motion that they each be recompensed to the amount of S1.20. It was so voted The commit tee was composed of Francis G. Has well. Maurice w. Flynn and Charles G. Craig. MT. Hazwell said that as a representative of the general assem- 1 ply the state provided for his trans I portation, and therefore he would not accept recompense from the town i / Chairman Haswell reported that in the future all charity patients sent i to the Rhode Island hospital from I Westerly would be charged to Vest l erly, and, the town must pay for the i hospital service The financial town meeting ought to provide a fund for this purpose.

Gen. l sles, for many years connected with the official reporters office of the Unit ed States senate. in regard to the col l lection of portraits of United States senators, destined for preservation aE the national capitol. In reply to a letter from MT. Wilcox concerning missing pictures of Rhode Island sen ators, MT. Gensier writes:
 | Thank you very much for your fa- vor concerning my quest for the por- traits of certain Rhode Island sena- tors. doubt very much if can ever succeed in finding any of these miss ing pictures, but I want to be posi- lively assured that they are not in ex- istence before giving up my search and therefore am exceedingly grate- ful to you for bringing my request be- fore your society.
 "AS l am filing everything that has been done to find these missing DOT traits, in order to show that I have tried little failed much, I wish you would send me copies of the Norwich !
