STONINGTON
Saturday Nearest Aug, 10Th to Be
Marked by Fire Parade-AppeaI in
Cartwright VIII Probating With
drawn.

At considerable expense to the Dor
ough, the Stonington fire department
rendered service at the Manor Inn fire
several months ago, as did also the
Mystic department, and for which no
recompense has been received. The
insurance companies were the real
beneficiaries of the service rendered
and, in the opinion of those directly
interested, these companies should
come across and make good the actual
expenses of both departments at that
fire. 1t would be only an act Of jus
tice for the company having insurance
on the residence CT Ferdinand Wheel
er, which was saved from destruction
by the work Of the Mystic pumping
machine, to send that company a sub
stantial check. When service is rem
dered outside the fire districts there is
no valid reason why there should not
be some dnahciaI recompense.
