Ii6tu dnnlN0FSdTy eO]u q Home w 60h, for memorial to the soldiers and sailors who served in the world war, it has been suggested that the work be commenced without delay. The fund which is about $1700, is now in the custody of the town treasury, having been accepted by the town, and is available for the purpose, whenever the town by appropriation. or the people by subscription, the 1 amount is sufficient for a suitable memorial.
 The Honor Roll in front sof the town hall has served it's purpose. It is of a temporary nature and the fund is to substitute an endurable memorial. It has been suggested that memorial tablet of bronze, bearing the names of all who were in service during the war, be placed in the i town hall building, as substitute l for the temporary Roll of Honor. This matter, in the opinion of pub I lie spirited citizens, should not be permitted to lag and steps ought to | be taken at once to make provision | for the memorial. An active com
 Inittee ought to be. appointed by the town council, to devise ways and means to make the memorial a real 1 ity. This is proposition that those 1 who were permitted to remain at | home while the war was on should l solve Independent of those who wore the khaki or the blue, as the memor- | ial is to them and ought not to be of l their own making. The people of l Westerly of today, it is claimed, 1 should see to it that this memorial is l erected during their time. and not leave the duty to coming generations Working plans should be formulated, i the nature of the memorial deter mined, and the campaign to raise the l required funds commenced before the | ground is cleared of snow and ice. Tt l is a good york; one citizen said,
 and the time to begin is here"
