Barber Hose company of esday evening which is provided for y the perpetual Barbcr fund. Mr. arber, who died Oct. 3, 1901, was one the wealthiest and most progressive | itizens of the village and was always In the van in public advancement. When there was demand for better fire protection Mr. Barber was active and energetic in the formation of the Paw- catuck fire district, which was incor porated in 1877. He was a member of the committee of five appointed v power to purchase a lot, bulld a hose- house and equip the same with neces- mary apparatus, all of which was ac- complished to the satisfaction of the taxpayers. He was elected treasurer of the district and, after serving four- | teen years, declined re-election, bu continued to serve on the board of as BeSSOrH. i At & meeting of the fire district in | ®eptember, 1887, the P. 8. Barber Hose company was formed, named, #s the record states, “in honor of Peleg S.| Barber of Mechanic street.” In Janu- ary, 1888, the property was turned over to the hose company, and from that date until his death he was the patron saint of the company. It was his cus- tom to give an annual reception and | banquet to the firemen and their guests. The parlors were at such times | used for soc and literary features of the receptions, while the lower floor, | with the fire apparatus removed, was | made the banquet hall, where many times more than a hundred guests were entertained. The spirit which prevailed at the gatherings was manifest from the fir and last stanzas of un original poe read by William S. Greene at the re- eeption given Feb. 23, 1899. His interest in the P. 8. Barber Hose company was farther manifested when he left to the Pawecatuck fire district a fund, in trust, the interest of which ahall be paid t pany annually, to be used for 1] reception for themselves, their familles, and other guests as they may invite.” Peleg .

Barber, oversesr of the poor, presented a petition to the West- Burke, at the regular session Tuesday afternoon asking for committal to the state home and school of four minor children of George Henry Simons and | Edythe Simons, ¢oiored. The children are George Washington, aged 8, Edwin Minnie, 4, and Louis H. 2. and 2 in court with their parents; an- | other child a year old was not com- plained against. It was set forth that the children were neglected and not given proper care by the parents. Mr. Barber testified that the famiiy had been assisted by the town, but that 19 assistance has given since January, as S8imons was an able bodted man and should care for the family. Last Christmas when he visited the| family he found Mrs. Simons intoxi- cated, the basement tenement unkept and the children neglected. Simons gave as a reason for not supporting his family, said Mr. Barber, inability to get work, that he did the best he could, and that he abandoned his fam- ily because his wife drank to excess. Mr. Barber said the Simons family had no settlement in Westerly and were not chargeable to the town. Attorney Agard told of Simons’ of being arrest- ed near Jewett City, brought back to Westerly and placed on probation and since then had done nothing towards The father and mother of the F0=O=O=O=O=O= protested against taking care in the future.
