5 'l‘he Question Is Often v
Asked . '
What makes the houses built 20 and 80 years ago‘so
durable."
The answer is “dependable materials and dependable
construction.”
It is easy‘to waste or to save material at the expense
of comfort and permanence. When depreciation is taken
into consideration. the cost of material for poor construc-
tion is often higher in the end than that for a well-built
house. We buy and sell the best lumber obtainable.

lipa. self confessed burglar, of New
Y York and New Haven. who Was ar-
irested in this. city on June 197th"
land later sentenced to the Bridge-
| port County Jail, has been arrested
‘ by the police of Jersey City and is
now confined in the lockup there.
A number of "breaks" in the re-
sidential part of Jersey City had
caused orders to be issued by Chief
of Detectives John Bach- thet all
men patrol the streets in that part
of the city with added vigilance. A
number of plain-clothes men were
deepatched to that part of the city
in an effort to find the man who was
responsible for the burglarlzing.
Detective James Cleary Jr.. at-
tached to the Jersey City police de-
partment was patrolling Bayview
Avenue when he noticed a nun com-
ing out of a house a. few doors away.

Finding that the man would not
slow down Detective Clear-y fired
two shots in the air but Phillips in-
tent only on his escape dashed mad-
ly on.
As Phillipe approached Weetman
Parkway Cleary whipped out his re»
volver and fired at the fugitive. hit-
ting hlm in the leg. Phillips kept
on running until he reached a house
at No. 238 Stegrnann Street where
he opened the door and Mrs. John
Wooiman who occupied the house
asked him what was the matter.
Blood was streaming down his leg
and across the floor when he entered
the house and he demanded a. wet
towel from the woman. She gave
him a towel and bandaged his leg.
Phillips then left the house. As he
stag-cred from the doorway of the
house he fell into the arms of
Cleary who had arrived at the keno
a minute before. With Cleary at the
time was Patrolman James Miller
who was on duty on Weetman Park-
way. Phillips was held by Detec-
‘tive Cleary until the petrol wagon

Phillipe refused to give his name
and after he had been fingerprinted
the New York Police Department
was communicated with and the re-
cord of the man was transmitted.
After a\ severe grilling Phillips was
remanded to a cell where he will
remain until extradition proceedings
ar completed so that he can be taken
back to Bridgeport to face trial as

P ips has a. record dating back
to 1916 when he was arrested in
New York on a charge of petty lar-
ceny. A number of burglaries in

lead the local police to believe that
a professional crook was working in
Stamford. Phillips, after breaking
into the home of Mrs. Marion Cox
of No. 17 Hinekley Avenue. on the
evening of June 17th, was arrested
as h dashed across the fields in an
