STREET REPAIR
FACES COUNCIL
Village Board Faces Prob
lem Of Improving Main
Thoroughfare Through
The City

The citizens of Mountain Home
and the travelling public have been
during the traffic season, critieising
the condition of the main street in
this city, which follows the Old Ore
gon Trail from one city limit TO the
other The Village board, last sum
mer secured data from the state de-
partment of public works relative to
the requirements that would be de-
manded before this stretch of road
would be accepted by the state and
maintained by them The engineers
making the estimate stated that ap-
proximately nine thousand dollars
worth of work would be necessitated
in putting the street up to the stan
dard required by the highway de-
partment. The village board at that
time considered this figure excessive
and since that time little has been
done in this regard in negotiating
with the state department.
Under the law the government
would bear approximately three
sixths of the cost of this construction
work, the state one-sixth and the viii
lage the remaining two-sixths. II
has been suggested that in case the
village did not feel that they were in
a position to bear this expense that
the highway district assume a por-
tion Of it. Taxes paid by the Village
0f Mountain Home into the highway
district, form large amount of its
and for that reason there
should be no objection to their par
-icipation in this project.
The deplorable condition Of the
streets of the city are not 80 evident
IS during the stormy weather. when
he absence of proper drains make
hem almost impossible. The viii
age board should not be unjustly
criticised in this matter however as
{ is impossible for them to provide
he necessary drains until such time
S the grade is established along the
Highway.

hands of Prosecutor Lewis as a gun
which had been carried by them.
A Meriden policeman saw the
men walking along a street In that
city at about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. He was suspicious and
took the men to the police station
where they later confessed to the
affair.
Van Allen was brought back to
Berlin in custody of Sergeant Her.
man scheurer, while Clark was
kept at the Meriden police station.
1t was the desire Of the officer to
find the car. It was discovered on
a road near the P. S. Mcmahon farm
and 1t was evident that 1t had been
abandoned after it had run into
deep snow. After several minutes
the machine was pushed back on the
road and Barth drove it to New
Britain.
When the two men arrived at the
Meriden police station after being
picked up on the street. they gave
story OF having been forced to
walk after their car had become
stalled on the Berlin turnpike. 1t
was because Of the fact that Ser
geant Scheurer was suspicious that
the trip back to Berlin was made.
Failing to find the car Van Allen
was taken to the New Britain police
station, where, after a grilling. he
told the officers what the purpose
OF them affair had been. He stated
that they had intended to take
Barth's money and drive to Yonkers,

HOLD Up DECISION
ON $4,000 CLAIM
Hearing Held on Boy Burned in
School Yard Fire

Decision was reserved by the
claims committee Of the common
council last night on the claim OF
Stanley Bialek, administrator OF the
estate OF Leo Bialek, for $4,000, as
a result OF the death OF the latter,
who was burned by a bonfire start
ed by Anthony Yahn. janitor at the
Washington school on October Is.
Attorneys S. Gerard Casale and B. j.
Monkiewicz appeared for the claim
ant. The school department was rep
resented by President p f. King. Su-
perintendent S. H. Holmes and Com
mitteeman L. w. Young.
Miss Malvina Eichstaedt, physical
instructor at the school. testified to
seeing the boys in flames and throw
ing her coat about him in a vain eff
fort to save his life. Ralph Kawecki
of As Alden street, a boy. testified
that he warned the unfortunate lad
twice to keep away from the fire.
1t developed that the fire was on
property at AZ Pennington avenue
adjoining the school property. There
is no boundary mark between the
properties and the janitor said he
had always supposed the school
property extended as far as a brook
near which he has burned waste
papers for four years. He had never
been warned against this practice, he
said. The reason he burned the pa
pers in the open was that the incin-
orator provided by the school de-
partment was not large enough for
the amount of paper he burned
daily. Frequently he burns papers
three times daily, the quantity vary
ing between eight and 16 bushels.
Attorney Casale submitted eta
tons of decisions which, he con-
tended, have a bearing on the Bialek
case, and Corporation Counsel Kirk
ham asked time to study them.

with the present attendance bureau
Of the school department, which
was organized In 1918 as the sue
cessor to the old truancy depart
ment. In 1919 the school commit
tee elected Miss Goldsmith to join
the bureau in the capacity of assist

to give the same to the French SOL
diers' hospital. -
