1S BOYS HELD
 FOR VANDALISM
3=Story Empty Building on West Main Street
 Ruined Inside

Eighteen boys ranging ill age from 10 to 16 face arraignment in juvenile court, following the dis covery by police that an empty three-story building at 859 West Main street has had it's interior vir- tually destroyed by vandals in the past few weeks. The damage to the building is estimated several thou sand dollars.
 The boys were arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective-Lieutenant Joseph Bendler. Earlier investiga- ton of the vandalism was investi- gated by Motor Patrolman George McElligott, who discovered the ex- tensive damage done to the build ing.
 The inside of the building was a shambles. The premises on the first floor once occupied by tavern had been wrecked almost beyond recog- milton, and damages to the two up- per floors was almost as great.
 Windows in the building were all broken, a phone booth in the for mer tavern was shattered, a valua- ble bar was turned into what amounted to kindling wood. All through the building doors were ripped from their hinges, plaster was knocked from walls, wainscot- ing was torn down, and great deal of other damage done.
 
 The youngsters allegedly responsi- ble for the wholesale destruction of property are reported to be resi- dents of the neighborhood. Police today fwere seeking to locate the owner of the building, which is said to have been vacant for some time.
