Herculean Task Ahead For R.I. Land-Study Panel, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has an impressive title--Commission to Study the Entire Area of Land Use, Preservation, Development and Regulation. Selection of the 23 committee members was made by top governing and legislative officials--governor, lieutenant governor, State majority leader and House speaker.

Smolski Texts

Well, ho-hum, another of the many proclamations and paper awards that so often come out of these offices that few give them much attention. But this one should cause Rhode Islanders to sit up and take notice."
Urging Private Sector To Work For Public Good, Chester Smolski
Urging Private Sector To Work For Public Good, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"There are few people who would be unhappy if they owned a capital asset that appreciated by 31.7 percent in one year's time. That is what happened to housing in the PRovidence area in the July-to-September period this year, as compared with the same period last year.
