LIBERTY STREET
ISSTILL BLOCKED
The Railroad Company APP
parently Indifferent to
Public Convenience

The street department has fin-
ished its work on Liberty street,
but the roadway is still blocked
awaiting action on the part Of the
railroad at the bridge that spans
the tracks at Mad River. Just why
this should be SO Is something mo-
body seems to know, but 1t Is GER
tainly great public inconvenience.
Mr. Policy Is expected to speak here
soon and after his address It would
not be out Of place to ask II he Is
aware of the condition that exists
on one of the city's principal thor
oughfares oil account of lack of
action. on the part Of the RAILROAD!
Liberty street Is one Of the prin-
cipal streets connecting the eastern
and western parts of Waterbury,
so. that the Inconvenience caused
by the street being blocked Is a
matter of much concern. Many who
are not aware Of 1t come to that
point and have to turn back and
make q long detour.

Free People Able
To Cure Depression
Honorable Archibald Mcneil Believes 1t Can Be Done
By Their Own Initiative

Hon Archibald Mcneil, chairman
Of the Connecticut advisory board
public works, N. I. r. A., spoke be.
fore the Norwalk Kiwanisi club this
noon, and told his listeners that
a free people can return to work
and cure the@.depression by their
own initiative. -},1
His speech in part follows:
What Is this great undertaking
known as the N, I. r. A.? To my
mind, its purpose and description
is simple. 1t means that America
proposes to demonstrate thaa free
people can govern themselves; that
q free people can, by their own ini-
tiative, return to work and cure
the depression; that q free people
can set up safeguards for the flu
ture against the misery ana evils
which 1t has endured; that q free
people can provide adequate relief
for those who are the innocent VIC
tins Of the economic breakdown
and to carry out these purposes,
everyone In America beginning with
the president and ending with you;
beginning with the federal govern
ment and ending with the private
agencies of our own communities,
must do their part.

LAST STAND OF THE
PEQUOT INDIANS

Pupils in the public schools
should be given q good drilling in
the early history of Connecticut.
if for no reason other than to
show the trials that confronted the
first white settlers. Besides, 1t is
interesting. A description of the
slaughter of Peduot Indians at
Groton Hill, July 13, 1874 once
read never will be forgotten. The
Indians were giving the whites a
good battle and fearing that the
red men were likely to succeed,
It was decided to set fire to their
headquarters. This had the de-
sired result and is referred to as
the last stand of the Pequots, by
George L. Clarke and others who
have written on the subject.
Several hundred men, women
and children were cremated in this
conflagration.
