L0 BURRITT HOME WILL NOT BE HOVED Commitiee Opposss Changs of 8ite for Landmark - Belief that the general public is mot fully aware of the fact that the ‘01d Burritt homestead near Finne- ‘gan’s garage was where the “learn- ‘od blacksmith” made his home, but was not his birthplace, influenced members of the Burritt home res- toration committee last evening to await further expression of public opinfon before going ahead. The committee held its first mee}— ing at the office of Mayor Weld in city hall. Councilman Frank §. Cadwell presided. Other members present were Sherrod E. Skinner, Max J. Unkelbach, Francis C. Kelly and DeWitt Riley. Although the Herald has stated that this is the home wWhere Mr. Burritt resided with his sister be- tween his journeys to Europe in the interests of international peace, Mr. Skinner pointed out last evening that many people still think it was the home where he was born. Bur- ritt actually was born on Smalley street and the original blacksmith shop also stood on Smalley street, Be sald. Mr. Skinner, whose mother 1s a nlece of Mr. Burritt, was named secretary ‘of the committee. There was considerable discussion on the possibility of moving the duilding. The committee did not consider the proposal to move the building to another site as practical, but the possible extension of East Main street may make it advisable %o turn the building to face the street when it is put through. A committee to investigate furth- or into the history of Mr. Burritt} was appointed with Mr. Skinner ehairman. Other members are Mr. [Riley and Mrs. R. N. Hemenway. A committee to look into the ad- wisability of restoring the home and the cost consists of Mr. Unkelbach, Mr. Kelly and Earl K. Bishop. The committee will hold its next meeting July 14.
