The plans were returned to Mr. Good- rich and, after. being retouched a lit- tle, will be put into the hands of bidders. Grangers hope to be in a position to 'occupy their new home within a few months. The dimensions of the new build- ing are to be thirty by sixty-five fect. It will have. shingle ‘sides and roof and a front stucco gable. There Plans for a will be a large assembly hall thirty | feet by = forty feet; two ante-rooms eleven feet square situated under a spacious balcony; a twelve foot stage and- an approach six feet wide and eleven feet long. The basement will 4 be built high so that it may be uti- lized as ‘a kitchen or dining hall. Ac- cording to the plans, the structire while simple, will be neat and hand- some, a credit to the town. It is to be erected on a valuable _site on Deacon North's hill which was purchased recently from Louis An- derson. The property has a frontage of about ninety-five feet and a depth of approximately 185 feet. The grange paid-Mr. "Anderson - $400 for * it, but it is said that the place 1s now worth about $600. There is sonmie $300 in the treas- ury of the grange at the present time, | and the building committee, which was authorized to take charge of all arrangements, intends to give a heavy mortgage on the new building. Mem- } bers of the committee are the chair- | man, Charles M. Weldon, and Joseph Wilson, Edwin B. Adams, Senator Claude W. Stevens, Tax Collector El- mer -E. Austin, Assessor George B, Carter, Julius Woodruff, Louis Good- rich and Herbert Goodrich. To in- augurate a continuous money-raising campaign, this board will give a sup- | per in the near future to help defray expenses. - Chairman Weldon told a Heraid man today that the grange has been paying $60 per year for the rental’ of Mechanics’ hall in which meetings have béen held for the past eight or more years. This structure is owned by the Berlin Real Estate ¢ompany and is inadequate to the grangers’ needs. Before leasing Mechanics’ hall, the ; ‘ organization held its sessions in Bran- degee hall on Worthington ridge, which has recently been transformed into an apartment house. eath of Former Resident. Kensington residents may be in- terested to learn of the death of Mrs. o'clock yesterday afternoon of Mrs. Mary Bagley, a former resident here, at her home in Meriden. Death was due to pneumonia from which illness the deceased suffered but five days. he was seventy-three years old. Mrs. Bagley was born in Ireland in 1841, but came to this country shortly after and resided in the Blue Hills dJdistrict of ' Kensington for .about twenty years, moving to the Silver City about a year ago. At the time of her death, she was a member of St. Joseph’s church in Meriden. While here, she was a - communicant and Tegular attendant at St. Paul’s church, in the parish of which she numbers many friends who now mourn her loss. Besides her husband, Mrs. Bagley is survived by two daughters; Mrs, James Carmody of Hartford and Mrs. James Lowney of Meriden; three sons, | Danlel F. Bagley, a building inspector of Brooklyn, N. Y.; George H. Bag- ley, contractor and builder of Meriden, | and Edward S. Bagley, an archltecti and bujlder in Hartford; eight gran:!- children and one sister.

Plainville News GONCERN OVER FATE OF PLANS FOR SEWER | Officers Fear Defeat of Propesitin { for Compicte System. BOND ISSUE 1S ALSO FAVORED Believe Property Owners Would Shy At Paying for $80,000 Improvement In Lump Sum—Water Co. to Extend Mfl.lns—(;pod Friday Observance, That it Would be folly for the ad- vocates of a sewer to attempt to force favorable action on the plan for building a complete system, costing $80,000, at the start, is the opinion of one of the officers of the district expressed today in discussing the vote of Monday night's meeting which tavored making the contracts for the improvement in its entirety, when anything at all is done. He believed that such a move would greatly strengthen the opposing forces and might result in the defeat of the en- tire proposition. “There is no well conducted city in the country or a private business corporation either, that would con- sider going into any ifiprovement on such an extensive scale at the out- set,” he sald. “They would naturally start on a smaller scale; sewering the ‘well populated streets to start with and later making periodical exten- sions.” - Some of the district committee members believe that there will be enough taxpayers to protest against paying assessments required for a $60,000 sewer without saddling an ex- tra $20,000 on them, especially when it is unnecessary. There is no extra assessment on business and unim- proved property for conllrucung a complete system instead of a sewer for the more important streets, and the entire burden will be shifted to owners of residences. The difference in their cases, however, will be but five cents 'a front foot, according to the estimates. Nevertheless, it fis argued, this additional assessment will help the opposition. ..The plan of paying cash on the contracts, instead of bonding the dis- trict for part of the expense, is not believed by many to be helpful to the cause of citizens who are advocat- ing the building of the system. They think it would be of benefit to their efforgs if they recommended paying about half the expense by assess- ments at the start and eventually cleaning up the balance through tax- ation -or sewer rentals, The latter- course, they maintajn, would probably be the best'for the average citizen, as it .would bring a substantial rev- enue from the factories, whq=while greatly benefited by the sewer, under the plans now. being considered wili only pay the same as business blocks, $4 per front foot, Until the officers, re-elected at the annual meeting Monday night meet to organize, nothing will be done to- ward calling the voters together for final action on the sewer proposition. None of the members of the district committee wish to make any predic- tion as to when the question will be put up to the voters. The matter is entirely in the hands of the commit- tee and as {t has completed all the preliminary work, its duties, until final action is taken, will be compar- atively light. To Organize Driving Club, Local horsemen are planning to or- gsanize a driving club this summer and the indications are that there will be several good meets at the Allen track on East street before fali, The Allen property’ was converted into a race course last summer and it is now probosed to make extensive improvements &t the place. The plan for ' organizing the club to arrange for races at the track has been re- ceived with considerable enthusiasm and it is probable that a meeting will be called in a short time, Horsemen favoring the forming of the club have suggested the holding of a fair at the track in the fall. They believe that enough money would be realized from an affair of this char- Ladies! Look Young, Darken Gray Hair. Use the Old-Time Sage Tea and Sul- phur and Nabody will Know.

Expect .to Receive Claim, Relatives of Burton H, Buell, who died several weeks ago from illness thought to have been caused by in- juries sustained while he was at work at the Grammar school, of which he was janitor, have not as yet present- ed a claim for damages under the workmen's compensation act although the selectmen have been expecting one for some time. When Mr. Buell was injured the town carried no in- surance for the new law- and conse- quently assumed entire responsibility of any claims that might be broulht against it. Mr, Buell was paid at the rate of $66 a month and if it can be proven that the accident was responsible for his death, his widow is entitled to an amount equal to half his pay for 312 weeks, a matter of about $2,500. Notice of his death has been in the office of the compensation commis- sioners for weeks but until a formal claim is made on the town by his re- latives nothing can be done toward making a settlement. Even then the commissioners must approve of the arrangement, should Mr. Buell's widow be satisfled with part of the amount to which she is legally en- titled. To Extend Mains. Arrangements are being made by the water company for the extension of its mains to North Washington street this summer. FProperty own- ers on this street have made several petitions for the extension but other sections were given precedence.

Last summer pipe was laid on Farming- ton avenue and North Washington street has been selected for the im- provement to be made this year. Good Friday Observance.
