The late Louisa Rines Finch of East Ha
ven was relict of John M. Finch, who died
in 1857. She died at the residence of her
son-in-law, George Gale, in Hartford. She
leaves two sons-John, who resides at
Meriden, and Merritt H., the builder, who
lives at the homestead by East Haven
green; also brother, Henry Lines, of 56
Atwater street.
The old liberty pole on the East Haven
green has been made six feet shorter and a
| new topmast has been erected to take the
| place Of the one that has rotted away.
| -Selectman Leonard B. Smith of East
| Haven has arrived with car load of mich
COWS and spring lambs.
| 1t has been suggested that a driven we'll
be provided in the old cemetery of East
Haven. There is great demand for wa
| ter for sprinkling purposes in the summer
and at present the neighboring wells are
drawn upon, when there should be water
| supply in the cemetery.
Ferry street south of Grand avenue is in
bad condition and the roadway should
receive immediate attention. 1t is full of
depressions and ruts and needs grading.
Eventually the street should be hardened
with stone, but as there is no appropriation
the filling of the depressions and thin
covering of oyster shells should be put on
| at once. All who have occasion to drive
in the street criticise in pretty severe terms
the city management that tolerates such a
roadway.
The Rev. Arthur McNicho1 of Westville
will address the gospel temperance meet
ing at the W. G. T. U. hall at the corner
of Grand avenue and East Pearl streets,
Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock. The choir
of the Zion M. E. church will sing some of
their beautiful songs.
