Just over the river in the twin vil- lage of Pawcatuck, in the town of Stonington, like conditions prevail There is a village lockup, but the building is antiquated, is not regular- iy occupied and s heated only when occasion requires, and’ therefore there are no accommodations for the so- valied tramps.
