Not a trace of Roi has been found.
There are many theories as to what may
have become of him, but all little better
than guesses Chief Mcfarland has been
anxiously searching for some informa-
ton that might lead to the finding of the
boy.
The first building enterprise Of the
spring season is under way on the tri-
angle of land between Main. Water and
Cottage streets, at the bridge over the
Assawaga river. The plot Is to be used
for the construction of an elaborate fill
ing station for automobiles the plant 10
be much after the style that one sees in
the cities and larger towns of New
England. A small store that will cater
to the refreshrnent needs of patrons Of
the place also will be erected on the
premises. Amadee Boulais, brother of
! Contractor Damase Boulais, is owner Of
the enterprise The plans are to have
| the place ready to do business about
May 1.
| Use of horses by the local fire depart
ment will be dispensed with as the result
of the decision of borough officials to
purchase a used Cadillac car which has
been the property of L. S. Ingalls, of the
| West Side and convert the machine to
the service of hauling the ladder truck
| and steamer when occasion requires. The
| automobile has been purchased at a very
| reasonable price and is in good condi-
ton to perform such service as will be
required of it in its new field of activity.
The ladder truck will be partly rebuilt SO
! as to attach it to the chassis of the auto
mobile.
1t has been difficult of late to obtain
horses to haul the ladder truck at time
Of fire calls, SO the new arrangement was
suggested by Chief A P. Woodward and
has met the approval Of the department.
According to very reliable people.
about a dozen less than a million black
birds (sone insisted they were starlings)
| f1ocked into the trees on Broad street,
near Potter street, early Thursday after
noon and soon had the neighborhood at
the doors-startled at all the chatter
and clatter the feathered host was in
dulging in.
No Interpreter of bird language being
at hand, the subject of the noisy contro-
versy, if 1t was such, remains mystery
1t appears to observers that the birds
had just arrived from som ewhere, posi-
bly, the south, and that there was some
special occasion for the big Dowwow thai
went on.
