Sewer Easement Denial Forces Route Change A slight change in the sewer main location plans will be made by the Newport Sewer and Anti- Pollution Commission as a result of Manuel Brothers declining to grant an easement for the sewer over its land. Frank M.

Greenlaw, commission chairman, said Monday that the change is not of great importance. Dwyer Brothers had offered a strip of land for a roadway for the sewer on Dyre Street, together with a 10-foot easement along the railroad tracks providing Manuel Brothers did likewise. Manuel Brothers, however, felt that the easement might interfere with future building. Representatives of Metcalf Eddy, engineers, were in town today studying the plans for the force main which is planned to run through Washington Street, Cypress Street, Third Street, Dyre Street and out to the proposed sewage treatment plan on 1 Connell Highway. It is hoped that specifi cations will be prepared so that bids might be received around Oct.

PERRYOBSERVANCE HIGMfflSClTCD Historical Society Told Jap Celebration Is Good Omen Highlights of Japanese and American centennial celebrations of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry's opening of the ports of Japan were described to the Newport Historical Society Monday night by Stewart J. Teaze of Jamestown. Pointing out that Japan had spent millions of yen in a yearlong celebration of the occasion, Teaze said, "We need all our friends. The Japanese have indicated by their desire to commemorate the opening, their interest in furthering the relationship between Japan and the United States'." Teaze, a student of Japanese culture and a member of Newport's Perry Centennial Committee, said that if the commodore had not opened Japan to western influences in 1853, this might otherwise have been done by the Russians or French, Moreover, Japan was ripe for revolution, Teaze noted, inasmuch as the Shogon had been forcing the isolationist decree of keeping Japan closed.

Facilitated Transition The significance of the Perry achievement is that Japan's transition from a feudal to a modern state was made easy, the lecturer said. He added that Perry perhaps gave the Japanese people the same sort of impression that Gen. Douglas MacArthur did nearly a century later --that of a somewhat imperial commander. Commodore Perry was a true prophet when he declared in 1856 that Asia would be a battlefield for "Saxon and Cossack," that the struggle between freedom and absolutism would someday be fought in the Far East, declared Teaze. Japan's harbor festivals commemorating Perry's landing are in full swing and will continue through April, 1954, Tcazc said.

American schoolchildren in Japan have been invited to the celebration at Shimoda. In general, the Japanese -are making much morj of the occasion than we are here, Teaze asserted. Japan Heralds Centennial The Nippon Times has printed a 48-page special edition heralding the Perry centennial, containing letters from Gen. Mark Clark and leading Americans and Japanese, Teaze pointed out. The speaker was introduced by Sydney L.

Wright. Historical Society president, who called attention to the display of Perry relics in the society's rooms and thanked donors and members of the centennial committee for their assistance. In the audience were Matthew C. Perry 3rd of Bristol, 12-year-old great-great-grandnephew of the commodore, the boy's parents and other members of the Perry family. Refreshments were served following the lecture.
