IlS d question IHdI IS or InuCu interest
 to the firemen and the citizens in gen
 eral. One of the cites spoken of is on
 the corner of William Hassett's prop
 erty, corner of Cherry and Quinnipiac
 streets. The price of the lot is about
 $2, 900, and the parties most interested
 think it is too far away from the busi- Iness part of the plains, and not as de-
 sirable as the east side of the railroad
 track. The location mentioned in Sat
 urday mornings Courier" The west
 end of the Center street cemetery seems
 to meet with the most favor among
 the firemen and others who have
 spoken of the matter. The building
 could be placed on the extreme western
 end of the cemetery, on the corner, and
 have two entrances, one on Center and
 one on Colony street. but a small por- ton of the property would be needed,
 less than thirty feet front, and as there are no graves within over fifty feet
 of the western line, it could not disturb any burial plots, and it certainly would l have a better and more enterprising Hook to strangers to see as they come from the depot, some signs of life would Ebe demonstrated by the sight of a handsome brick structure on the corner
 than to see a dozen or more marble monuments looming up over the hedge fence of the cemetery. From a finan- cial point of view it should also meet with favor at the present time, as the property belongs to the town, and the portion that would be utilized is not
 in use and probably never will be,
 for burial purposes, as there seems to
 be desire to do away with the inter
 ments in the old cemetery and change
 to the new on North Main street, as
 the day will come, at no distant date
 when the present cemetery on Center street will be done away with, at least
 the northern portion, to meet the de-
 mands of the progressing generation. The utilizing of the corner in question for a. hose house site would be saw ing of nearly $2,000 and furnish a loca- tion that would be desirable one in every particular to the members of the company, and it seems should meet with favor with all
 There seems to be no clue to the mys- tery as to who the original owner of the large sum of money recently found on Cook Hill in the old stone wall by Mrs. Weld. John Ka11l of Cherry street, who saw the bundle as it was found, stated that the bills were in packages with elastics around them, as though they had been counted out for deposit in the bank, but the condition of the bills was such through exposure to the weather and dampness that they were mouldy and kardly recognizable, althorgh some of the engraving could be traced and portions recognized. The packages were at least four inches thick, and must have contained at least $1,000 and probably more, The silk threads in the bills could be recognized, and as it is not more than twenty years since this style of paper was used for bank bills 1t is probable that the money had been placed where 1t was found by someone inside of that time. The finding of the money in such mys- terious manner brings to mind the sud den and mysterious disappearance of Silas Muriam several years ago. He was supposed to have a large sum of money in his possession at the time of his disappearance, and it is believed he was disposed of foully for his money, as nothing has ever been heard of eith- CT. Muriam lived on the west side of l the town, although at least two miles l from where the money was recently | found.
 The layout of the proposed exten- sion of Hall avenue, from River street to the turnpike, has been char ged from | the original plan and put further north | instead of the old route that was open | ed by the Oneida, community several | years ago. and later closed up,as they | neglected to work the same. The | change was made because Patrick Kel- Iy, who owns the property on the south | side of the first layout, would not give 3 small strip of his land to straighten l the road, but demanded pay for the | same, although the opening of the road | would greatly benefit his property and | bring several good building lots into the | market. By the new route 1t entirely | clears his land and leaves a strip of | and owned by the Masonic Foundation Il association between Kelly's property | md the road, which will entirely shut 1im off from the benefits of the new ,oad.
