 The committee selected to investigate the feasibility of the purchase of tri- ple combination fire apparatus for the Westerly Fire district, and to make a re- port before purchase to the district is at work. One of the committee has ie- clared that the best apparatus is none co good for Westerly, and that Wick ford, Wakefield, Narragansett or the rSingstowns, will not establish the pre- csdent for Westerly There will be no haste in the selection. and no f2vorites will he played. as it is the aim of the committee to get the best machine for he needs of Westerly and vicinity
 While the fire district has not ye. voted to purchase additional fire appar- atus. the tax payers of the district vot- cd at the annual meeting to continue the present tax rate, in view of the ex- penditure of s12,o00 for a fire appara- tus Otherwise the tax rate would have been reduced. as the fire district was re- r---od out of debt
 Sincs that fire district meeting. the own council has had the fire district system under discussion, and it was stat. cd by Clerk Whipple that a change from a district 70 a town fire department would require an appropriation not ir sNcess Of S9 900 and give the whole tewT Ire protection. At present the whole town. with the single exception of Watch Hill depends upon the Westerly fire dis irict for fire protection. It is probable that the required legislation will bt sought at the incoming session of thu legislature 10 authorize the change. 
 The Con-re=ationalist and Advanc. gays in reference to the Pilgrim tercen tary mass mee- ings. held in many Sec ons ofthe United States: The New England meetings were not well attend ed. Westerly. the smallest town of tn, six in which Dr. Percival J. Hueet ant P. Whitewell Wilson spoke, presented tht largest audience of the group. Inclemeu weather was undoubtedly factor il bringing about rather small gatherinl in most of the New England towns. Tn Irish question has also been suggestc. ag more likely explanation. One prom inent man. however, ventured to add tha Ireland did not cut as much of figur in the lack of New England enthusiasm in tercentsry celebrations as the foreiE1 1opuiation-the indifferent non-Angio saxon groups, some of whose leaders d lot care to have them know much abou Pilgrims.
 Expressions of gratitude are reachin he Mayiower Council from every divis on of territory into which the Pilgrir nesF2Se was taken.
