Complaint has been made several
times lately to the members of the
board Of education in regard to the
destruction of school property. This
time it IS the old Quincy building, cor
ner of Quincy and Gordon streets,
which seems to be the sufferer. A re-
ward OF 800 has been offered by the
board Of education for the arrest and
conviction Of any person found mutt
lating or in any way defacing this
building When this school house was
abandoned last spring for the New
Quincy, the precaution was taken to
board up all the windows. that is after
some OF them were broken. Now this
laWless element seem TO try to pry open
the doors and do other mischief. It
seems that II is necessary for some
buildings to suffer. Formerly the
Church of the Good Shepherd on the
other end of the block was the object
of these persons wrath, and for a time
there was hardly a whole window in
the entire building. The miscreants
even went so far as to build fire on
the church porch. Now the old Quincy
school Is the playground and target for
these laWbreakers and the church IS
unmolested- The police have been nc
titled and a close watch VIII probably
be kept on the school house.
