WESTERLY

Through the combined efforts of Frank W. Coy representing the board of trade, Postmaster Thomas F. Len ihan and Senator Maurice ". Flynn and United States Senator Peter c. Gerry, Westerly has been restored satisfac- tory night mail service, with all Ahe advantages returned that were taken three years ago, and also year since. Train 29 west bound and train 30 east bound, the former due in Westerly at 1928 a. m. and the latter at 3 a. m. now makes stops to deliver and receive mail matter. Train 30 has not given this service for three years and train 29 for one year.
 westerly post office now pouches on train 29. instead of by way of the pouch catch which was not reliable and the Westerly mail from the east is now delivered direct instead of being taken to New London and sent back on train 30. For the past three years the mail pouches for Westerly have been thrown from train 30 and in several instances the pouches have fallen on the tracks and the pouches and mail matter mangl- ed under the wheels. Under the new plan the mails are received in the local office in ample time to be marked and ready for delivery to the early patrons of the office, and outgoing night mails, east and west are not liable to be se- riously delayed in transit, as under the old plan. This improved condition is | fully appreciated by the business public of Westerly.
 The damage suit for $500 of Weaver against Miner, the result of an automo- bile accident on the Shore road, was | resumed before Judge Broawn and a | jury when the superior court reconvened in Westerly Thursday morning. The case went to the jury at 4:30 and 9 verdict was returned an hour later ir favor of the plaintiff to recover $260 l Court then adjourned to Friday morning In the case of Adino and Howard against Angelo Truro. the jury rendered verdict for the defendant and no the plaintiffs.
