The state renews interest in taking over town property at Asylum Road to fully develop it as a beach. A meeting to discuss a land swap with the Rhode Island Department of Natural Resources was requested by the Town Council as officials note limited improvements since the 1930s and consider bringing in new sand and stone to lift the area.

Telephone Co installs pipes and vaults on Goodin and Hope
The New England Telephone Co installs underground cable vaults along Goodin Ave and Hope St. A 652 foot trench carries a nine four inch pipe line for cables with concrete cover. A 900 pair cable may be added later from Metacom Ave to the first vault. A precast manhole was lowered at Hope and Gooding Aves. Temporary asphalt patching will cover the trench for 30 to 60 days to settle before gravel and permanent restoration.
