W0ODMONT FEARS FIRE BUG IS
 BUSY IN BOROUGH
Five Fires in Quick Success sion Cause Rewards to
 Be Offered.

A series of fires at Woodmont. the pretty shore resort between this city
 and New Haven. where many Bridge port people reside during the summer months. has disturbed the borough au-
 thorit.es to the belief that an incen- diary is at work. and they will offer a
 reward for his arrest and conviction. The Merwin family has already offered a reward S20O for the arrest of the fire bug who touched a match to the Downes cottage, Saturday night.
 While the loss is not as heavy as was at first believed, nevertheless the fire
 has worked the officials and the l.
 year-round residents of the borough into a high state of excitement and yesterday a rigid investigation into the cause of that and previous mysteri- ous fires was started. Warden A. Y
 Beach of the borough. who lives in
 Seymour hustled down to the shore and spent the greater part of the day in trying to trace the f1rebug and or ganizing a force of men in an effort to bring to justice the person or per sons responsible for the fires wh ch
 six weeks threatened to wipe out d f. ferent portions of the borough. Had there been a strong wind blowing Sat urday night several cottages probably , would have gone up in smoke.

 force on the job as chief sleuth and Burnes and other men started cam paign yesterday which Warden Beach hopes will clear up the situation. The | warden thinks possibly the fires had been started by tramps who might have slept in the burned buildings or | sheds where the fires occurred. Others in the borough believe that the fires resulted directly from the work of firebugs and several perDns are being [ carefully watched.
