Newport Mercury from Newport, Rhode Island • Page 2

Newport Mercury, Friday, May 24,1974 Marine railway approved by city's Planning Board Tuesday, May 21 The Planning Board last night concurred with two applications before the state Coastal Resources a a Council. The first was for a floating dock system at Fort Adams for the Newport International Sailboat Show in September, and the second was for building a marine railway by Newport Ship Yard Inc. at the former Fleet Uncling. The sailboat show would install floating docks along existing docks at Fort Adams and would install 34 temporary pilings for five years to help anchor boats at the show. Lottery sales dip after hectic start Wednesday, May 22 Tickets for "The Lot" seemed to be moving slowly today on Aquidneck Island, compared to the rush for the tickets yesterday, when the Rhode Island state lottery began peddling the stubs through merchants all over the state.

But the slack hasn't hit every shop on the island, and banks that are distributing the tickets here fear that by the end of the week they may not be able to get any more tickets for area Ixt dealers. Sen. Raymond Grimes, deputy lottery director, termed the first day of sales, "fabulous, expected a rush, not sri avalanche." He has predicted the state will run out of the tickets this week. I i a a i a Bellevue branch had a "big stack" of the tickets, says branch manager Arthur Gauthier. They ran out and the branch had to request more.

"I don't think it's going to be enough," said Gauthier of the "I think we're going to end up running short." Other Island banks shared Gauthier's prediction over the availability of the tickets later this week. But all were happy with the way the tickets had been moving, and one manager said he was "pleasantly surprised. Some dealers, however, believe the novelty of the lottery has worn off, that yesterday's rush was not a fair indication of what the future will bring for The Lot. "I think they're going to reach a a saturation point quicker than they expected," said Bernard Kusinitz, owner of a grocery store on Bliss Road. This store has sold 160 of its original 400 tickets.

"The trouble is that there are so many outlets, said the grocer. 1 don't know what's going to happen." He added there were six lottery ticket distributors near his store. Other dealers, who also said sales had begun to taper, noted they have had to return to their distributors as many as three times to renew their supply. Richard Cosimini, owner of the Portsmouth Pharmacy on East Main Road wouldn't say that his ticket sales had begun to slack, but he did say that fewer people are buying large blocks of the tickets. His regular customers are still buying.

A 40-by-330 foot barge would be installed as a breakwater during the show. After the show the barge and floating docks would be removed. The ship yard's underwater railway would enable the ship yard to haul ships out of the water for repair at the facilities at the Fleet I-anding. The Planning Board had no objection to either petition and agreed to notify the state a a Management Council that it concurred with the applications. The Management Council's approval is necessary for construction in coastal waters.

The board said it also had no objection to the state Department of Natural Resources' plans to install a boat launching ramp at the head of Brenton Cove in the Fort Adams State Park.

There are about 3,000 memorials, of which 800 are dated prior to 1800.

In 1836, the city bought land on Warner Street for a cemetery. Two small private graveyards were in that area. In 184G, a private group, the Island Cemetery took over the cemeteries and have operated the site as the Island Cemetery ever since. Frederick C. Williamson, state historic preservation officer, said Tuesday the designation protects the sites against encroachment by federal urban renewal programs and highway construction.

It also qualifies them for matching federal aid if restoration is needed, he added. The Woonsocket city hall was built between 1855 and 1858 as Mrs. J.
