That young people who attend danc- es at the town building have been abusing the privilege accorded them in the renting of the hall\ was made strikingly evident Thursday _after- noon. Some of the young people who attend the dances have, during inter- missions, sought out the most seclud- ed and darkest spots in the town build- ing to eat their ice cream. They have trailed all over the, building wherever a door was found unlocked and even | gone into the police court room and occupied the judge's bench. Many protests have been.made, but the mat- ter hardly ever went any farther ex- cept during the reign of former First Selectman Isaac Sandersun, who noted what was going on and specifically notifled those renting the hall that when they did so they rented the town hall and not the whole town building. Conditions have been much worse of late, and Thursday afternoon the climax was reached when a bunch at- tending the “twilight hop” while Chief E. H. Richmond was out late in the afternoon, descended the stairs and in- th fo of a .4 tal vaded the corridor and patrolmen’s room in police headquarters and pro- ceeded to make a mess of the place. Ice cream was thrown all over the floor and upon the windows to the swinging doors. Upon the chief’s re- turn he was justly provoked. Friday morning, First Selectman Robert E. Mitcehll was told what had been done. Wednesday evening Jo- seph Bllis, assistant janitor of the town building, was forced to send out of the common council chamber seven couplés who had gone there to eat their ice cream in quiet. The patrolmen’s room has frequently been used as a coat room by dancers and even the nocturnal quiet of the police court room has been disturbed by dancers who invaded that room to t ice cream, In the morning the Jjanitor would fing plates, spoons, etc., about the room and even upon the judge’s bench. After every dance ex- tra labor had to be expendedin clean- ing up after the thoughtless frequent- ers of all parts of the building. People occupying offices in the building are becoming _disgusted, and hereafter when the hall is rented for dances it will be the town hall and not the en- tire building. The entrance to the town hall is on High street, and it is said that the board of selectmen will requested to-have the double doors leading from the entrance to the town hall into the lobby of the town build- ing proper locked hereafter durihg a dande, so that the dancers will have to remain in the town hall and its own entrances and ante-rooms, M of M in ni re!
