INCONYENIENCE RESULT OF WAR Five Hundred Tons of Steel Going by Rail to Vancouver, B. C.—Foresters Elect Delegates—Tax Collector Aus- tin Warns of Suits. At a cost of approximately $10,000, the big order of more than five hun- dred tons of steel, which has been delayed a month in and about the yards of the Berlin Construction com- pany will be shipped tomorrow to its destination in Sydney, Australia, wherg it is to be used the con- struction of two mammoth coal load- ing towers. Arrangements have been made, wheréby seventeen’ of the ' eighteen cgrs éontaining the material will be seént #go0 Vancouver, B. C, and the other®ta Harlem River, New York. The ‘car which is going to Harlem River contains the smaller parts of the, structure. The other cars can- not be sent to this point for the rea- son that there are no facilites at Har- lem River at the present time for un- I¢ading the heavy material. The delay and inconvenience in get- ting this shipment off can be traced as a result of the big European war, which has tied up the shipping in the larger American ports. The Berlin concern received the contract for the big job about thir- teen or fourteen weeks ago. It was stipulated at that time that the ma- terial should be ready for shipment Ly the first of February but, because of the ecnormous amount of work re- quired on the job, it was necessary later to extend the time limit to Feb- ruary 29. The compuny succeeded in fulfill- fng its part of the contract only ta find that neither steamers nor steam- skip space could be secured and that, although the Union Steamship com- pany officials were in a great hurry tor the material, it would have to be held here until satisfactory arrange- ments could be made. For a time those interested considered a plan for sending the steel across the continent lo_San Francisco.

Austin has mailed a number of the| delinquent taxpayers notices to the effect that, unless he hears from them before March 24 regarding their indebted- hess ta the town for taxes, he will immediately bring suit for the collec- tion of the amount. Mr. Austin’s term expires in a little more than a month, Charles F. Lewlis, the new collector, taking office in May. Birthday Party. H. H. Damon shared honors with St. Patrick on Wednesday. It was his birthday also, and, although he doesn’t claim that all those who wore green did so in his honor, there were several who helped him celebrate the thirty_first anniversary of his pres- ence on this sphere. Accompanied by a number of his friends, Mr. Damon enjoyed a theater | party at the Russwin Lyceum in New Britain following which, the party ad- Jjourned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hodge of New Britain for a midnight lunch. Foresters Elect Delegates. At last night’s meeting of Court Mattabessett, TIaresters of America, John A. Moore and William W. Fagan were chaosen delegates and Edward Michaels and Daniel Malarney alter- nates to the Grand Court convention to be held at Bridgeport May 12 and 13. Each court is allowed one delegate for every hundred members or frac- tion thereof, which fact accounts for the election of two representatives by the local court, Tickets for a barrel of flour were distributed among the members last evening and there was an informal talk regarding the advisability of holding a fair this year. It is prob- able that the latter matter will come up for consideration at the next meet- ing of the arganization. About Issuing Licenses. John M.

BUSINESS MEN HAY DINE APRIL 1 Date for Annual Banquet to Be For- mally Selected Tomorrow Night— | Property Owners in Sewer District to Be Given Chance to Iile Complaints. Another opportunity to protest the grand list recently prepared is to be given the taxpayers, that board having arranged to hold a joint meet- ing with the sglectmen on Monday, March ., between 1:30 and 6 o'clock, for the purpose of hearing the ap- peals of property owners, whose places are located in the sewer district, and who will be forced to pay their pro- portionate share of the expense in- curred in making plans for a system of sewage disposal. An abstract for the district grand list was made from the report of the assessors, Town Clerk Usher making the property valuations on both lists the same. Under the law taxpayers in the district have the right to ap- peal for relief before they can be forced to pay the tax levied at the meeting of the voters Wednesday night. The assessors sit as a board and selectmen will of relief and will be empowered to make any reductions considered advisable. The changes will only affect the tax for the sewer district, the relief board having set- tled on the valuations from which the town tax is figured. As each property owner's share the tax will be small, the rate being 1 1-4 mills, it is not expected that many appeals for reductions will be of the meeting will be simply a com- pliance with the law and will not re- sult in any material changes.

At a meeting of the Women’s Re- iief corps held yesterday afternoon it was decided to celebrate Appomattox Day, April 6th, with patriotic exer- cises in G. A, R. hall. A committee has been appointed to make the necessary arrangements and to invite the members of the G. A. R. to attend. The affair will be held in the after- noon beginning at 1 o’clock. In the evening of the same date, the veterans will attend a similar cele- bration to be held in Meriden, the Post at its regular meeting last even- ing having accepted an invitation to be the guests of Merriam Post of the Silver City at that time. The matter of observing Memorial Day was considered by the veterans ast evening. The Post received crders from the national commander to celebrate the holiday on Saturday, May 29th, unless the date conflicts with the state law. Memorial Day v:ill be on Sunday this year. In Con- necticut it is the custom to celebrate on Monday all holidays which fall on Sunday and it is umed by the veterans that there will be no change this year. Consequently it is prob- able that the instructions of the na- tional commander will be ignored. The veterans seem to favor deco- rating th egraves on Sunday and hav- ‘ng appropriate exercises at the monu- ment on Monday. Socialists Haven't Paid. The town has not as yet received payment from the socialists for the use of the Town hall several weeks ago for a lecture by Cornelius Le- hane, given under the party’s aus- pices, and the belief is general that the members still hold to the opinion that the vote passed at the annual tewn meeting, which the selectmen ignored, gives them the right to use the building free. At the time the lecture was given the selectmen advised the leaders of the party that they consldered the vote illegal, as no mention of the fact that it was to be considered had been included in the call for the session. They would expect the party to pay the usual rental fees and under such conditions the use of the hall was al- lowed. The town officials have heard nothing from the party since and it | is inferred from the silence of the members that they have no intention of paying the Dbill. They claim that the courts are the only judges of the legality of measures adopted at town meetings and that the town clerk erred in not recording the resolution. The socialists had tne use of the hall twice during tha winter for lec- offer long hip, IFor tomorrow we batiste, medium bust, §1.00. trimmed, regular $1.50 value.
