Rhode Island Session Elects Chief Justice Tillinghast
The Rhode Island post election session opened in Providence with brief meetings. Judge Pardon E. Tillinghast was elected unopposed to succeed John H. Stiness as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Resignations and bridge project debates featured in House and Senate actions, with calls for earlier funding and a new court house site. A Bristol water case seeks a permanent injunction against shutting off water for nonpayment.
