 In an editorial in city paper last week we read that committee had visited this village to examine the Nathan Hale monument relative to making repairs there. on, and it represented the monument as liable to tumble down at any time Now we think the monument needs repair, but did not know that it was in immediate danger of falling, neither do the lovers who use it as a wind- break when meeting there at even tide.
