All members are request Week Local residents who are readers of the Stamford Mirror-Recorder were wondering the last of the week why I hey had not received their papers. Here is the reason as told by the Mir- ror-Recorder, which reached its read- ers Monday, five days late: The worst ice storm in Stamford's history lias held the village iii it,s, grip since Monday. Damage almost un- believable has been done to our beau- tiful shade trees, telegraph and tele- phone wires are down from one end of the village to hang in Ice-coated festoons from poles and trees like the fantastic handi- work of some giant spider. Tele- phone polo,?, with their mass of wires lean In places at dangerous angles over our streets, supporting broken trees and heavy limbs and all frozen together in an Inextricable mass that only a warm day or a sharp axe might disentangle. Since Sunday night, when the electric power went off, travel about our streets has been a perilous undertaking, owing to the almost incessant crashing of limbs of trees upon the sidewalks and today, (Wednesday), electric power is prom- ised in two days' time and lighting ed to be present.

They made the trip in their motor car. The post ofiice department is issu- ing the usual request thai Christmas would got back to normal condition*, .At this time an estimate of the act- ual property loss as a result of the storm Is difficult, for it will take some time to determine how many trees can be saved, and the telephone and elec- tric light companies have not as yet formed an estimate of their probable loss. Sugar orchard,? throughout this sec- tion have boon badly demolished by the terrific weight of ico on the trees. In some orchards not a tree was spared more or lens damage, and the largest Individual loss is believed to have occurred. in tlio Tylor farm groves, where the loss will reach sev- eral thousand dollars.. The attractive rows of trees about the streets and boarding houses have been decimated so that heroic efforts will be necessary to savo them. In Churchill Park and about the Rex- mere the ice-coated trees present an unusual sight, many of them being broken off near tho ground. Division street-and Prospect street wore im- passible for many hours, tangled wires being entwined with broken branches so It was dimcult for a.pedestrian to force a way through tho icy masses. Throe telephone polos near the swim- ming pool wero broken off a n d fell beside the state road while low wires in many other .sections of the .village made motoring or driving anything hut pleasant tasks. With the con- tinual dropping of branches and Ice It Is indeed remarkable that no fatal accidonts occurrod during tho storm. The first trees to show the effects «i tthe Ice wore the poplars and elms, the maplos holding their loads several IIOUWL longer on the avorage. Where Hie limbs have split for several feet It will bo necessary to saw them off close to the main trunk to savo tho trees.

Resolutions providing a $000 fund for the district attorney to meet ex- penses .in connection ' with' criminal actions, and changes in the personnel of the board of managers and Im- provements to the equipment of the Delaware -County tuberculosis sana- torium, were adopted at Friday's ses- sion of the cou,nty board of super- visors. The board put in a busy day, the session extending from 3 o'clock in the .afternoon until late at night. Tlio resolution relating to the ex- penses of the district attorney was iffered by Mr. Hume and unanimously adopted. It provided for "the pay- ment in advance of audits of properly itemized and verified bills for the ex- penses of the district attorney law- .lilly and necessarily incurred in the prosecution of criminal actions or pro- -codings arising in the county," and Work of Saving Several newspapers have recently published a dispatch coming original- ly from tMIca, stating that the Dairy- men's League Co-operative Associa- tion had sold twelve of its plants In central and southern New York to the Nestle's Food Company in order to pay a debt of $223,S0O. A;; tho Co-operative Association has just purchased these plants from the Nestle's Food Company, tho above statement in absurd on the face of it and absolutely without foundation. It is the belief of the Co-operative As soeiation that It was inspired propa ganda .sent out by enemies who are taking every opportunity to injure and impede the work of the Associa- tion. As a matter of fact, the Associa- tion has purchased several plants from the Nestle's Food Company, mak- ing a fifty percent cash payment and giving a mortgage for the balance of the purchase price. Xlie mortgage has just been filed. Many of the newspapers, including the Knickerbocker Press of Albany, which published the dispatch have already corrected it, but as this orl-. ginal misinformation ha:: caused con- uldcrublo mlDUhCerstandlng, tho Co- operative Association is requesting all newspapers to assist in giving the correct facts in the tn''"er.

I After Orson Hendricks arrived in town la.st Thursday afternoon follow- ing his confession that he stole sev- eral automobiles in this section, ho made a further statement and im- plicated two other men. These men were at once apprehended and taken before Justice of the Peace Edgar Marks where they waived examination and were held for the Grand Jury. One of them was released on bail and the other is in Delhi jail. Whether these are the guilty helpers or whether Hendricks implicated them to shield somebody else has been the chief topic of diffcussion about the village during the week. All the car,«, taken from this section have beon recovered and It is believed that the custody of Hendricks will completely solve tho problem. Head- ricks, it will be recalled, entered the Conine home on Hubbell Hill a year ago and rilled the house. For this crime ho was on parole at the time lie stole the automobiles.
