Stole g Pennies
 Held in Bonds
Youth Captured in North Elm Street Poultry
 Store

For alleged theft of twenty-five pennies, Anthony Guisti, 26, of 128 Hill street, is being held under bonds of $2,000 facing possible term in states prison. The police are conducting a search for two of his companions, who escaped from North Elm street poultry story as Patrolman Frank Smith rushed to investigate the noise of falling glass.
 Guisti will be given a hearing next Friday morning. Tn the mean while it is possible that his two pals may be brought in to keep him company.
 When Officer Smith ran toward the store to make his investigation two youths hurried up North Elm street in the direction of north square. Seeing that they had good headway on him the policeman en- tered the store and conducted a search. He found the frightened Guisti parked under an offlce desk.
 Vincent Ippolito, 45, of Al Madi- san street is being held in connec- ton with the alleged theft of $100 worth of photographic equipment. He denies the allegation and desires a hearing which the court will grant him on Friday morning.
 A nolIe was entered in the case of Frank Svoboda. 43, of Ridge field avenue. who was charged with breach of the peace.

SCHOOL YARDS
 NOT VACANT LOTS
Good Work Being Done in \ Protecting City Properly With Suitable Fences
PLANT MORE TREES

The school board Is not leaving it. self open to the taunt that school yard without a suitable fence is nothing more than ga1svacant lot. A neat wire fencetfnow encloses the Mulcahy school and the old pickess that have outliveds their usefulness at Fairmount street, along the line of Wzashington school grounds are to besrepiaced by a,sti4JstA ,wfre fence and material of the esame kind will be placed at Merriman school on the wall running in the rear of the old Rose FilI fire station. z. It has been suggested that the va cant land fronting on Baldwin street at Merriman school be planted with nice trees, making ! q nice grove there which would rival in grandeur conditions at Washington school. The contour of the land is different at MerriMan to that of Washington. one being elevated and the other even with the street. but regardless of this many believe that the trees would be a great improvement al Merriman. There is talk of a com mittee being appointed to beautify different places along Baldwin street. but 1t is not likely that this will take place until after the tracks are removed, the curbs straightened and the sidewalks repaired. all of which will be done this year, from Scovilis bridge to the Pearl Lake road. and probably from that poirt to South Main street.
