TOTAL LOSS
Shed and "a Cows Burned Near Wau
regain.

TWenty-four COWS were burned TO
death in a fire that destroyed the cat
tie shed on the Lavigne place, west of
Wauregan, Friday night. How the fire
started seems to be a mystery. When
first discovered it had gained such
Roadway that nothing could effectively
be done to release the cows or save
the building from total destruction
Neighboring farmers gathered from
points in the district to lend all posi-
BILE aid. 1t is understood that the loss
will be total, as there was no insur-
ance protection.
Thorough Cleanup Planned.
Over in the Quinebaug mill village
on the West Side the way for this
side is being pointed by arrangements
made for a general spring cleanup.
The whole village is to be given a
thorough going over and every last bit
of garbage and waste matter removed.
Going a step further, what is gained
in the way of being spick and span is
not to be lost through later negligence,
for a regular system of garbage coll
lection has been arranged for and will
be maintained by the company's men
and teams. Garbage barrels are to be
distributed at many points throughout
the village and these will be regularly
attended to. This is the system that
has been in force in Wauregan for a
long time and keeps it one of the neat
est mill villages in the Quinebaug
valley.
