Connley’s Birthday. Fifty-seven years ago yesterday there was born at Fishkill, on the ,;Hudpon, in New York state, a son to Wohn A. and Martha (Saunders) Connley, who was destined to be one £og the leading brick manufacturers of L his time. He was John Henry Conn- #léy, present proprietor of the J. H. ‘Donnley Brick company in Berlin and he well known resident of Worth- gton ridge. violinist | | ness and order! Mr. Connley was only a few months old when his parents removed from his birthplace to Haverstraw, N. Y., in which latter city he received his education, partly in the common schools and partly in a select school. At the age of sixteen, he cor:menced to learn the brickmaking business with his father and in 1881 went to Hamden, Conn., where he became the superintendent of H. P. Shares, man- ufacturer of bricks, and remained in that position nine ye: Following this he was foreman for one year un- der his father, who was superinten- dent of the Nyatt Brick - company’s works at Providence, R. I, after | which he and his brother, George B. | leased the yard, and for three years | carried same on under the firm name of Connley Brothers. | Mr. Connley then removed to Ber- | lin to fill the position of general man- ager of the Berlin Brick company. At the end of two years, he super- intended the erection of the Willam L. Davis brickyards at Berlin, and remained there as superintendent two years. In 1898 he returned to the Berlin Brick company as its general manager. Like his father before him, he is a thoroughly skilled brick manufacturer, fully understanding the business in every detail, and,. more- cover, giving his undivided, personal attention tp all the departments of the work, and he is always found at his post of duty. Mr. Connley’s perfect familiarity with every branch of the business, and of his superior management, the all-around complete- system to be found in themselves ample at his works, are evidence. On December 22, 1880, Mr. Conn- ley was married to Mattie Klizabeth Buchanan, a daughter of Robert and Nancy (Briggs) Buchanan, the former a mariner, late of Haverstraw, N. Y. Two children have been born to this union, Grace I& and Jessie Io.

S. B. Carpenter and Edward Aspinwall con- curred in this opinion. George S. Babcock favored the pointment of a special collector settlement of the bills He scemed to believe the fncumbent of the position should be aggressive and ghould insist on the payment of the tax bills when they are due. The meeting finally settled on the one and one-quarter mill rate. The district tax statements will be sent out by Collector Hemingway, with the bills for taxes on the town's grand list. They will be due on April 1st and the property owners will be given a month in which to settle, an interest charge of nine per cent. being added to the accounts of those who fail to liquidate the debt by that date. While it had been reported for a few days that an effort would be made at the meeting to bring about the discharge of the district commit- tee, thus killing for some time the chances of having the sewer question brought up again, nothing was done along these lines last evening, tb voters passing a motion to adjourn after the adoption of the tax rate. It was said this morning that the opposition had decided to hold their plan in abeyance and that they will be heard from at the annual meeting of the district which is to be held on Monday, April 5th. At that session the matter of electing officers for the coming year will be considered and the status of the district committee nray also be decided. TLast night's session harmonious.
