WESTERLY

Theru h much dissatisfaction at the action Of the town council in barring xzirr Or dances where refreshments are ls1arut for sale, from the use of the knNn hall especially as them is no other h4H in town available for such enter ta@urniz, except the state armory, and fhN cannot be had without legislative ecHEcnt Tho claim is made that before Mn8h radical action was taken, people in re1t4ted ought to have been given op- rprtunity to be heard It is said. how eTrr. that appeal can be taken from the tatn council to the town meeting and thAt this will be done.
 What caused the drastic action was the compaint of the janitor that he nn&ht to be relieved Of night work as it w8 a physical strain beyond the en- auN1nce of any one man. It was not a matter of money. as he received g for eF4ry night the hal was opened in ad- eitiou to his regular pay. He reminded th& council that it was considerable to clean up after a fair was held. The pquncilmen satisfied themselves by in rpection that this was true. and then passed the barring motion.
 Rather than appoint an assistant jan flor. whose sole work would be to take sRn of the public hall in the town Nalding. as suggested by the janitor, the council deliberately barred many from the use of the town hall.
 With fairs and dances with refresh nfents for sale eliminated, the town clerk. who is custodian of the building, vas authorized to employ assistance for the janitor. whenever considered neces- Hnry. It is said that the ianitor of the town hall is the best paid man in that Inc in the town. and is entitled to every cent he receives.

Washington, d. c., July 29.-The
American Government is understood to
be giving close attention to Japanese
relations and Japan's general policy
in the Far East because Of the effect
on the questions involved of the recent
withdrawal of American troops from

Supplementary the views of Roland
Morris. the American Ambassador TO
Tokyo, who IS home on leave Of ab-

British interests in China ard japan
are regarded here as paralleling to
scme extent those Of America because
Of the large business transactions be-
tween those countries and the British
dcminions Of Canada and Australia as
well as the common desire Of tte col
onial governments and California ani
other Pacific States to find some
solution Of the problem Of Oriental la
Dor. The solution Of this problem BY
the British Government. "a the opinion
here, is made more complex by rca-
