Brace of Hoboes Who Had Built Fire in Voluntown ~ Scheol Outbuilding Rounded Up Near Moosip. Early Friday morning it was found that someone had entered an outhouse at Wylie schoolhouse in the town of Voluntown, built a fire on the floor and| had evidently spent the night there. It was soon learned that two strange men had been seen on the Ekonk road at an early hour. Grand Juror Barber, who lives just across the road from the schoolhouse, secured the services of Benjamin Wilcox of Ekonk with his automobile, and the two, with Roger Gardiner of Boston, started after the men. They sighted them near Clark Gallup’s over the Plainfield line, and took a short cut for Moosup to head them off. At the office of Justice Dan- ielson they met Officer G. R. Bliven and also received a message from Mrs. Wilcox—who had kept track of the hoboes by using her telephone—that they were heading for Moosup. Mr. Wilcox and Sheriff Bllven took the back track and met the men, who tend to your order. Holder, complete crystal tumbler.

A few weeks ago two men (thought to be the same ones) spent a night in the same building, where they built a fire on the floor, and were seen the next morning going through Ekonk. Since that time the building has been locked, but Friday morning the lock was found to be broken. The building is near the schoolhouse, which is an unusually good one for a country dis- trict, and well equipped and it situated just across the road from the two- story house, large barn and other buildings owned by Grand Juror Silas L. Barber, and if the fire had got be- yond_their control nothing could have saved the other bufldings, as there was neither water or help in the vicinity. LETTERS TG THE EDITOR Norwich Town Board Walks. Mr. Edito; The matter of board walks is beginning to arouse conversa- tion here. The purpose of this letter is to direct such conversation to some useful end. A little history from ihe inside might be helpful, at least it can fur- nish data so that the talk may be more intelligently difected. The board walks have for years been furnished through the agency of the Norwich Town Ru- ral assoclation, the funds coming part- 1y through entertainments given by the association and partly through the generosity of a few citizens. The orig- inal walks have to a large extent be- come too dilapidated for further use Recognizing this, the association two vears ago started in to build some new ones. In an effort to make small re- sources go far, cheap walks were con- structed. These, justly perhaps, jaroused much adverse criticism. Last year the association nearly bankrapted building nearly a mile of new This Jast walk has proved very ctory and aroused more approval adverse criticism. If now the as- ion had the funds to build a mile more of this style of walk the s could be well cared for dur- the muddy months. more expensive than most citi- keep these walks in re- i nd to replace with new. Lumber is high, and labor is high. It is also costly to lay the walks each autumn. {1t costs about 330 just to put the walks down. If men would work for nothing, and let their teams go for nothing, we could put the walks down for nothing. There was a time when the select: laid the walks for the associatior, but one year when a lot of badly worn walks were put down with resulting loose ends and weak spots the selectmen had to listen to a great deal of faultfinding. ‘“Never againl” say the selectmen. Faultfinding? Yes, those busy fault- finders, who {ook pains to complain to the selectmen about those walks laid the burden of 330 a year upon the Ru- ral association. Did they ever through thelr liberality offset that faultfinding by gifts annually of $30 to the asso- ciation? |~ The officers of the Rural assoclation have to listen every vear to carping “Why is there not a walk on eet 2" did you end the “Why don’t you put a | decent walk on street?” “What f walk are you giving us?” There, just it—"Giving us.” { . In Norwich Town there are posstbly 1,000 persons who use the sidewalks more or less. If each one of these would donate %5 cents to the Rural association, it would be possible with the $250 to put our walks into fairly zood shape. The fact seems to be that the vast majority of thess people ex- pect to use walks which someone else has paid for. Last spring the writer in the desire to raise funds for use this fall in building new walks prepared a simple entertainment. He sent blocks of tick- ets-to the schools, that pupils might sell these tickets it the vil- lage. One would think that such an effort, absolutely unselfish at it was, would mect with a two their children take those tickets back to the teacher. Children who were al- lowed to make the effort sold none, or one, or sometimes five Omne or two est C] 8014 ten or mere. Al- together the &ontmwmmfl&’: e naturally wonders how many of the worst faultfinders in regard to the peae S S - board walks have never donated one cent toward building board walks, Tt is very difficult for many persons to work for.a_ thing which is for the public good. We_see this in the way some men work while employed by the town—ehort hours;. frequent rests. Possibly this cause may account for the apathy of the citizens gwelling in Norwich Town towards helping sup- port the Rural association in its work. I should sooner think that the apathy is due to a lack of appreciation of the neéds and the actual difficulties. It is quite likely that in the course of a few days the town will be can- vassed for cash contributions to the Rural association. If a hearty re- sponse is found, then the good work will continue and the sidewalks will be cared for this winter. If there is no response, then the few zood walks we have will be laid where it seems most necessary to have said walks, and other places will go without walks.
