President Flynn called special meeting of the Westerly l town council and when the members 1 assembled he announced that he was to send out an emergency call for the sanitary corps, to respond to an imag- mary catastrophe at the plant of the Westerly Textile company. He at once telephoned for the assistance of Com mander Payne. and then the council men proceeded to the mill.
