BY JOSHUA M. ADDEMAN, Secretary of State. printed by Order of the General Assembly. PROVIDENCE:' PROVIDENCE PRESS COMPANY, PRINTERS TO THE STATE. 1875. PREFACE AT the January Session, 1873, the General Assembly passed a resolution authorizing the Secretary of State to make an Index to the Schedules from the year 1862, to the close of the January Session, 1873; the same being in con- tinuation of the Indexes previously prepared by the Secretary. This work has been accomplished in the following pages. To facilitate the search for the acts of incorporation, the Secretary has pre- fixed to the General Index several tablesr in which are arranged the leading corporations, with location when fixed in the charter, the Session at which the act was passed and at which amendments thereto were made. On the next page will be found a tabular index of these classes of corporations. For the purpose of making it of greater usefulness, this portion of the Index is brought down to the close of the May Session, 1875. The General Index, like its predecessors, is alphabetically arranged in chronological order. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CLASSES OF CORPORATIONS: [tabulated.] PAGE Banks v. Institutions for Savings x. Insurance Companies xii. Railroad Corporations and Steamship and Navigation Companies xv. Cemeteries xxi. Charitable, Social and Mutual Benefit Societies, viz. :— Masonic xxii. Odd Fellows xxiii.

Attest: JOHN DABOLL, Secretary. botanical committee .' Mk. George Hunt, " Thomas J. Battey, " D. W. HOYT, Mrs. E. M. Alben. It is now more than forty years since the publication of Mr. Ohiey's Catalogue of Khode Island Plants,* which was the first enumeration, other than the partial lists occasionally made by visiting botanists, ever made of our plants. Since that time, and more especially during the last decade, the study of Botany has received increased attention, and is regularly taught in the schools, generally, however, in a merely perfunctory and necessa- rily superficial manner, but any attention given to the study is an advance upon the previous total neglect of the science. The Franklin Society has continued its discussions and lectures upon botanical subjects, and an interest has been maintained and fos- tered, which, it is pleasant to note, is more general at the present than at any previous time; withal, Mr. Olney's genei'ous bequest to Brown University, and the endowment of a jjrofessorship of Botany under his will, has made the possibility of gaining a knowledge of botanical science so comparatively easy, that it is but reasonable to expect that this branch of Biology is to receive, at least in part, that attention which it deserves.

  • Overlooked by Many Boaters, Mount Hope Bay Offers a Host of Attractive Spots in Which to Wile Away a Day—Or Week—On the Water
    DESTINATION MOUNT HOPE BAY The author’s boat, Friendship, at anchor in Church’s Cove. Overlooked by many boaters, Mount Hope Bay offers a host of attractive spots in which to wile away a day—or week—on the water. BY CAPTAIN DAVE BILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATE BROWN ount Hope Bay, shared by Massachusetts and Rhode Island, doesn’t get a lot of attention from boaters. But it should. The bay is flled with interesting places to dock, drop an anchor or explore in a small boat, so you could fll an entire week visiting a new spot every day. Every summer, I spend a signifcant amount of time on the bay aboard a 36- foot Union cutter, so I’ve gotten to know and love this body of water, which offers everything from interesting things to see and do to great dock-and-dine restaurants to scenic spots where one can drop the hook and take a dip. Here are some of my favorite places to visit, as well as some points of interest. The main gateway to Mount Hope Bay (which is named after a small hill on its western shore) is via the center span of the Mount Hope Bridge, with Hog Island Shoal to port and Musselbed Shoals to starboard. You can also enter, from the north, via the Taunton River, and from the south, via the Sakonnet River. Although the Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 35-foot-deep shipping channel through the bay up to Fall River, be mindful of navigational aids that mark obstructions such as Spar Island or Old Bay Rock.

WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDY IN SCHOOLS BY CLARA E. CRAIG DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION STATE OF RHODE ~LAND PREFArl'OllY NOTE. In providing for the issue of a series of historical studies relating to Rhode Island, adapted to use in school, the Department of Education is fortunate in being able to present, a~ an initial number, Mr. Eaton's study of "Roger Williams, the Founder of Providence." It was first delivered as an address before the Rhode Island Historical Society on the second of October, 1906, upon the unveiling of the ·tablets placed by the State to mark the site of the spring where the settlers first landecl. and the site of the Roger Williams Home Lot. As the founder 6f Providence, as a leading actor in the beginnings of Rhode Island, and as one of the few famous Americans of Colonial times whose names will endure, Roger Williams is certainly a great historical personage, of whose life and times every pupil in our schools should have knowledge.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
