 New Britain, Conn, Dec. ', 1915. Voted: That this committee recom- mend to the common council the erection of the pergola which forms part of the full architectural plan for the summit of Walnut Hill; that in this pergola be placed a memorial and tablet in accordance with the design presented to the committee by William F. Brooks, commemorating Mr. Erwin, recounting his gifts to the community, and stating his part in securing Walnut Hill park to the peoples use and enjoyment.
 And Further Voted: That this com- mittee urge upon the attention of the trustees of the New Britain Institute the propriety of recording publicly and conspicuously in the library building the debt of the New Britain Institute and the people of New Brit ain to MT. Erwin for the liberal en- dowment which he bestowed upon that institution-to which, in the main, is due the present wide ex- tension of the library's cultural in- f1uence.

Fire, which suddenly burst forth furiously in the house in the rear of 67 Lincoln street at o'clock last evening, did considerable damage and caused great excitement about the city The house is owned by Mrs. Elizabeth Atkinson and the upstairs tenement is occupied by Mrs. Henry Parkington. The lower tenement is vacant.
 There is but one entrance to the upstairs tenement and when, at 5:l6 o'clock Mrs. Parkington left her house to go to a nearby store there was no signs of a fire. Witnesses state that at o'clock flames suddenly burst from the rear hallway and when the fire department arrived in response to an alarm from box 113 the entire hallway and porch was a mass of flames. Officer Frank Moore, not having heard the first alarm and being informed that a bad fire was in progress, sounded m alarm from box 112 at 6:1O, giving citizens the impression that a disas- trous fire was raging in the west end
 The fire quickly burned its way from the first floor up through the second floor and into the attic before the firemen could get it under con- trol. The back entry and one room on the second floor was burned our. although the other rooms in the ten cmcnt were not damaged by the
