| Complaint is made that a certain set
| of hoodlums are spending their spare
! time breaking the windows of the old
Quincy school building. The windows
in the first and second story have been
nailed up and thus protected but in the
basement they are left to the mercy of
these hoodlums. For years the Church
of the Good Shepherd, one block south,
has suffered in d like manner until there
is hardly a window in the entire build
ing which does not contain several
holes. Since the old Quincy school has
been abandoned for the new building
the bows have directed their surplus
energy and their stones towards thi;
place and the church has had a much
. needed rest The attention of the au
thorities has frequently been called t;
this destruction of property but TIL
| rrrorIr Of vandalism still goes on.
