Family Court for Rhode Island Proposed by Special Study
A Rhode Island special study committee urges a four judge Family Court to replace the Juvenile Court and the Domestic Relations division. It stresses dedicated judges with social concern, noting overlaps in family cases and the need for a state-wide court. The panel cites hearings, a New York visit, and 17 months of work, naming Judge Francis J McCabe and Judge John M. Booth for potential seats, plus Florence K. Murray and a fourth legislatively created judge. The report calls for balanced analysis of resource use including Narragansett Bay and a refinery, warning against tying progress to narrow gain and urging careful, public-interest decisions.

A Wrong Impression Of R I Reprinted From Pawtucket Times

The piece defends state industry and cites textile migration, Bostitch and Collyer Wire as evidence that Rhode Island supports diverse manufacturing. It contends an Jamestown oil refinery would not reflect broader industrial hostility.
