New Britain herald., 1914-04-30


 there is a strong likelihood that the new executive in the neighboring city will be called on to consider it.
 Since the Town home investigation Jimmie has been in Plainville. He has worked periodically in local fac tories but it is said has not put his money to good advantage and for food end shelter has been dependent on local charities.
 He has room at the home of Miss Nellie Lewis on West Main street and of late, it is said, he has had diff Culty in getting enough to eat. At present he is out of employment and is also out of funds.
 His case has been called to the at tention of the town officials and as he is a charge of the City of New Britain, Mayor Quigley will probably be asked to look after him. Jimmie says he does not want to return to the Town home but he would like some one to look after his wants.
