One month he was a little short of cash and borrowed the $500 from his son for a few weeks and paid it back. He told his son to take what money he needed. He paid no board and took such items of clothing, shoes. etc.. from the store as he needed. When he be- gan to pay Oscar $25 and then $30 a week it was paid every Saturday night In cash. He handed it to Oscar or if he, witnessness was busy he told Os- car to take it. The Studebaker car was a present to Oscar. He bought two cars and told Oscar to take his choice.

R Remi Delage late Tuesday night, after it |had been found in a cart path leading oft the Chepachet route to Providence. The car was stolen at midnight Mon- day from where it had been left parked outside the Narragansett hotel in Prov- idence. It appears that the thieves aft- | er_driving the machine to within a few highway, drove the car up a cart path into a secluded place, took gasoline from the tank, poured the fluid over the car and then set it afire. The valuable ma- chine is so badly damaged as to be con- sidered u wreck. Knowledge of the presence of the car A'w(l in the woods east of here came to the police through a report from a man who happened to be coming through the section where the car was abandon- ed. An investigation followed, the car was hauled in here and Mr. Adams communicated with by Captain Delage. ‘Why the car was abandoned and set jafire is a mystery to those here who know about the case. One theory fis that the men who stole it became fright- ened at the possible consequences of their act. and rather than be caught in possession of the car decided to destroy it. This theory, however, does not ap- pear plausible to others who have studned the case, as, it is pointed out. the car could have abandoned without firing it. The police here hope to learn more about the car and the incidents pertain- ing to its theft and destruction within a very short time. Following developments at the meet- ing or the common council Tuesday ev- ening, City Engineer Georze Perry has been succeeded as superintendent of sew- ers by Street Superintendent Frederick Dumas. The change came about as the result of criticism during the meeting of the council of the making of plans for the annual spring flushing of the clty's sew- er system. It was charged that Supt. Perry had not arranged for the use of city “emploves and city convevances in carryving out the owrk. The discussion during the s*sion & the council brought forth the fact that the charter provides that the superin- tendent of streets shall have superin- fendency of the sewer work. so that arrangement goes intn effect. Mr. Perry has been superintendent of sewers, by vote of a previous common councll, since May, 1920. | Wil Putnam vote to purchase a mo- | torized hook and ladder truck to add to the fire department of the city? That is a question that will be decided at a special clty meeting called for April 17. An_ appropriation of $7,500 will be asked for at this meeting. The matter of purchasing a new ladder truck has been talked over for several years and one city meeting turned down the pro- position that an appropriation be made for the purchase of one.
