The Central Station fire appara‘us
was‘summoned yesterday at noon to
V‘Voodward avenue. there to extinguish
a grass fire which had started when
a woman burning papers in the yard
of her home allowed the flames to get
beyond her control. Part of thr-
fence surrounding the house was
burned and the flame-s charred and
scorched the wood of tho- house as
well;
Fire Chief George Bogardus said in
speaking to a Sentinel reporter this
morning that the practice of setting
fire to grass or to papers and rubbish
in the yards of homes in the city ilm-
its had to cease. as the flames were
not watched in many instances. and
«firms fires result.
The old \Vest Norwalk chapel was
burned to the ground yesterday af-
ternoon because flames‘from burning
grass were carried by the wind to the
shingles on the roof of the building.
A grass fire of considerable propor-
tions devastated a portion of the mea-
doWs along the water front between
the freight yards and the Gulf Refin-
ing company's station on Butler street
last night. causing an immense vol-
urnn of smoke. The department was
not summoned for this fire. however.
There is an ordinance against the
lighting of fires within t?- cffy limits
and Chief Bogardus stated this morn-
ing that he would have the ordinance
enforced to the letter.

In his lecture? Dr. Sinclair described
the various types of people found on

of the lecture wag that in which Dr.
Sinclair described the ruins which"1
