 Fairfield, Sept. 26.-WiIfuI destruc tion of public property by playful youths has caused the Board of Se- lectmen to appoint a watchman whose sole duty 1t shall be to watch the cleo tric lights of the town and arrest boys who are found breaking them. For some time complaints have been pour ing into the selectmen's office that the electric lights were not lighted. The selectmen turned these complaints over to the United Illuminating Co. of Bridgeport who have the contract. That company sent it's men here to make an investigation, which deve1- oped that the light globes were not only broken but that the mechanism had been tempered with. The lights could have been put out of commis sion without the breaking of globes by stones striking the wires. The inves tigators found that at least a score of the lights were out of commission. These were not in one locality but all over the town, but more especially in the Holland Hill district.

Wednesday, to dis cover the bad lights, the juice had to be turned on. This is the reason why the lights were on all day in town.
