WOULD PRESERVE
 OLD LEE HOUSE
Also BurTitt House and Public Meet ing to This End Has Been
 Called for Monday

At the earnest solicitation of Rev.
 J. F.. Klingberg. Mayor George A. Quigley has called a public meeting of all people Interested in preservin S historical buildings, traditions and events in New Britain to be held at his office in City hall oMnday evening at o'clock. The chief aim of this l meeting will be to ascertain the feas- ibility of organizing a New Britain Historical society with a primary pur- pose of preserving tho old Lee house on Main street and the Elihu Bur ritt home in the rear Of J. M. Finne-
 gan's livery stables. Rev. Mr. King
 berg is deeply interested in the his
 tory and tradition of early New Brit
 ain and believes that all old Ind marks should be preserved wherever
 possible.
 Some time ago Rev. MT. Klingberg
 consulted with Mayor Quigley regard ing the organization of historical so-
 ciety and the latter talked with a number of people about the city on the matter. There was lack of suffi- cient enthusiasm to warrant any ac- ton at that. time. With the sale of the old Lee homestead, however, those interested in the preservation of these old landmarks realized that they must act at once IT at all. COnSe- quently the meeting has been called It is open to the public and a large attendance IS desired as the opinion of a representative body of citizens is wanted.
 No plans have been evolved for the organization of the society and 1t it is not known what steps would be taken to preserve the old Lee house, which, it is understood. will shortly be razed by the new owners to make room for a big business block. The traditional history of both the Lee house and the Burritt house is too we'll known to need an elaborate re- view. The Burritt house was at one time the home of Elihu Buritt, where he lived, worked and studied. The The Lee house was the first house on Main street in New Britain, built by Col. Isaac Lee almost 300 years ago. Among other things, it served at one time during the revolutionary war as a prison for tory. It would also be within the province of a society such as it is proposed to collect preserve and hand down to following genera tions all historical facts connected with the pioneer days of this city.

MERRIMAN IS CHOSEN.
Fourth Ward Republicans At Last Succeed in Filling Council Vacancy.

The council vacancy in the fourth ward that has been disturbing the ward politicians so much since the resignation of Councilman David Wi cander has at last been filled. At a meeting of the ward council repre- aentatives last evening it was decided to appoint Robert Merriman to the position. The only other candidate in the field was Gustave Carlson, but he lacked sufficient backing to secure the appointment. With William c. Wall the third Warders' new council man, MT. Merriman will take office at the meeting of the council next Wednesday evening.
 MT. Merriman is well known. He has been employed at the P. & F. Cor bin factory for a number of years. He is foreman of the cylinder room of the Harvard Unit Lock depart ment. MT. Wall is the foreman of the steam-f filters at the Stanley Works.
