WEST E RLY


 The following letter has been writ tn by Maurice W. Flynn, \ recently president of the Westerly town coun- gill also superintendent of mqtor ye- hfcles:
 To The Norwich Bulletin; Accord ing to newspaper reports of Monday s council meeting, Mr. Campbell said that there has been much criticism of the office and salary of superin- tendent of vehicles.
 While realize that much of the criticism is for political purposes, ] desire to state that the ordinance governing AI)tor Bus and Operators licenses was not suggested by me, but by former member of the council MT. Gully, and was drawn by him and Town Solicitor Agard confortning te an act recently passed by the genera assembly. The ordinance created ths office of superintendent of vehicles. applied for the position and was ap- pointed by the council at a salary o1 S2o9 per year. Since my appointment 1 have given a. great deal of time te the office.
 While at first there were a great many complaints as to the methods oi the drivers of motor buses, the bus ness has become pretty well regulated and most of the operators are fail and just in their charges and will av- craze up as high in a gentle.nanly way as most automobile drivers. 1 have been told that some of n! 1 critics say that my salary amounted i to more than the license fees. For tn, information of the fair- minded publi, 1 will state that since the ordinanc, went into effect September 1. 1915, have collected s2115'in fees to Daceu1 cember 1, 1S1a. My salary amount l to 1850, including $50 now due me l leaving a balance of s1265 for tn town. 'f I In my opinion this balance will com 1 pare favorably with the returns tn l town of Westerly receives from man. of the office holders who are free iron criticism, political or otherwise.
