JEWETT CITY Town Safe, Bought in 1878, Traveled Some—Graves at Capwell Place— Through No Fault John Armstrong Loses Appointment—1912 Statistics. | Robert J. Guy was at work Mon- day rehabilitating the old town of Griswold safe in the selectmen’'s room | in the town hall. It will be scraped, | repainteq and decorated and lettered to read: Records of the Borough of Jewett City. The safe, which weighs about flve toms, has had an interest- ing itinerary since it was bought for | $276 by the town in 1878, when Henry Spaulding first became town clerk. After his term expired it traveled to the store of Potter & Chapman, in Ashland. when E. H. Chapmanh was | town clerk. Then three miles into the south part of the town, during the term of Danlel L. Phillips; back again to the store of the late James H. Finn, | thence, when W. H. Tift was clected, it was hoisted, by a Norwich firm, to the room which the telephone exchange now occuples over the bank, and was finally carried to the town building, | where a new vault was bulit which made it of no use to the town. It was sold to the borough in 1902 for 350. The time, labor and expense at- tendant upon {ts several trips have been of no_ little consideration. State Road May Encroach on Burlal Plot. On the Michael Farrell property in Tadpole, on the left hand side of the Plainfield road, half way down the blll, north of the old Capwell house site, there are four graves, marked only with rough etones. Probably not a dozen in Griswold know that they are there. They are in the lot over- looking the lower Tadpole pond. These Braves contain the bodies of the four children of the late Jonh W. Capwell, who lived in the house in 1872, This house, which was burned over 30 years ago, had some little local history now mostly forgotten. It was built over 50 years ago by the late John W. Fanning, was sold to Eben Phillips, then to J. W. Cap- well, and was later repurchased by Mr. Philiips, who owned it when it burned, it being occupied at that time by George Hillman. During the war it was rented to W. H. Tift, now of Tift street. The recent survey for the new state road will cut down the bank be- low and very close to the graves. The opinion has’ been expressed that the town shouid exhume the remains and give them burial elsewhere. New Carrier on Route 1. Notice has been given by the post office department of the appointment of Perle L. Whitford as rural carrier on route No. 1, from the Jewett City post office. ‘Since the resignation of George A. Aver some weeks ago the route has been kept up by John Arm-| strong. When the route became va- cant four men from Griswold took the prescribed government _examination. | They were John Armstrong, F. C. Whiting, S. Palmer and ' Perie L. Whitford. It is generally belleved that Mr. Armstrong would have recelved the appointment, only that he has the misfortune to have but one eye. AIl along the route he 1s spoken of in the highest terms: he is able and capable, and readily secured the signatures of over 60 persons on the line .asking that he be kept there if possible. The names were gent to Washington, but the’ruling of the department is final, and one from which there is no ap’ peal. Mr. Whitford, the new carrier, is well fitted for the place, and wili be @ tareful and competent official in the position, which he fairly won in an open competitive examination.
