their suggestion that the police of
the tenth precinct were notified. In a
short time Maj. Pullman. Detective
Chief Grant and half a dozen head
quarters detectives, with a number
from that precinct were on the scene.

lixering mail at the mission for more

left there during the past week mail

last time he saw one of the three

ANCIENT GROCERY
 CHANGES OWNERS
Once They Sold Rum" There, the Old New Eng
 land Kind.
fspecta1 tn The Tmes.n

Stratford, March 27-One of the important business changes which Is to take place in this town in the near future is the retirement from business of Miss SaI1fe WelIes, who has con- ducted the Welles grocery at Hards' corner for 2, number of years. The business is to be leased by William H. Fryer, who has been the manager of the store for the past few years and he will conduct 1t from May i.
 This store which is one of the old est stores in the town of Stratferd, Is in a. building that is historic The store was conducted at the time of the Revolution as a country grocery store and rum was sold there as was customary in all stores of that kind Many years ago the upstairs of the building was used by the Masonic lodge as a lodge room and some of the real old members of the order in this section of thee ountry can re- member the meetings that were held there when the Master sat in the east The grocery store at this corner aI- ways enjoyed q good trade and the proprtetOrs have all prospered. The store was conducted by Edward WeIIes for q number of years up to his death when 1t was taken over by his sister. MT. WelIes was one of the leading Democrats of Stratford and was postmaster for a term. William Fryer, who is to take over this store, is a lifelong resident of Stratford, a member of the leading fraternities and a man who has al ways taken a keen interest in the af- fairs which were for the best in the town. He for a number of years was @ member of the library board and of the finance board. All his friends which include the entire town will wish him success in his venture.
 Tonight at s o'clock the voters who have assembled in the town hall will be called to order for the special town meeting to decide as to whether or not a special tax is laid to pay for the building of extra feet of concrete on Barnum avenue will be called to or der by Town Clerk Harold Lowell, As there seems to be an added interest in the affairs of the town by the average voter large attendance Is expected at 1his meeting. The opinion about town seems to be that the extra tax for this work will be voted but not without the usual discussion over the condi- tion of the streets of the town in gen era2
 The proposition which is to be pre- sented to the voters Is to add an ex- tra, three feet on each side of Barnurn avenue from the top of the hill to the Bridgeport line which will make 8 width of concrete of 12 feet, the state highway department putting in nine feet. This will make if the proposed curb line is made 8, distance from the outer trolley rail to the gutter of 16 feet, giving ample room for +vr0 a174O mobiles to pass at the side of a trolley car Only one foot extra on each side Is to be asIleidi from the top of the hill to Main street and no curb line is to be established east of the top of the hill.
 It Is also expected that Barnum avenue will be widened at Main street so that 8 sidewalk can be built.
