Mr. Johnson wants the road built as soon as possible and if there is not too much frost in the ground he in- tends to have a start made on the job next Monday. While the selectmen in the budget nted to town meeting estimated the road would cost about $1,500, it is believed that a passway suitable for travel can be constructed at less expense and it is unlikely that the se- lectmen will exceed $1,000 in their disbursements for the work. When the town voted in favor the road, the Westwood park repre- sentatives declared that they were not seeking a boulevard or any expensive highway. They simply wanted a means of entering and leaving the district for teams and if the town would provide some passable road they would be satisfied. The selectmen propose to do the work as cheaply as possible but they expect that there will be a big im- provement in condition of the pas way when they have finished and they expect the residents of the locality affected by the change will be sui- fied.

As was reported in yesterday's Her-.| ald, Mrs. Webster sustained one gasn on the thigh and another on the knee in addition to a fracture of her right leg between the thigh and knee. The %high wound has become infected and the doctors found this morning that the infection was spreading so rapid- ly as to necessitate an operation. Every precaution was taken to pre- vent a further spreading ‘of the poison, which would undoubtedly. re- +sult in the woman's death. . Miss Smith has not fully regained « consciousness. She was able, how- ever, to speak 'a little this morning and, at times, tould recognize her friends. Dr. Griswold is of the opin- ion that she will recover all of her facultics before the expiration of many more nours On the whole, her condition tods is considerably improved. The doctors are almost “«@rtain now that there was no frac- ture of her skull. Cast Announced, The Girls’ Aid society of the Sec- ond Congregational church in Ber- iin is making final arrangements for the presentation of the play, “A Lunch in' the Suburbs,” In the church chapel on Friday evening of _this week.

Time—The urcsent The plot of the play hinges on a dinner party given by Mrs. Jenkins to a number of her ratner refined friends, and a misunderstanding which she herself creates in a moment of excitement. On the morning of the day during which her party is to be given, tha ceiling falls down in the kitchen' of | her home and crushes the cat fo} death, Hurryving over to the tele- phone, the hostess calls up her hus- | band at his office an. dtells him that “Kittie,”” (meaning the cat) was killed in the accident. Mr. Jenkins a that his little daughter, Kitty, was the victim of the fatality Although 'grief stricken, he does what he can to con- | sole his *poor little wife,” and in- forms her that, before hurying home, | he will make all the necessary ar- il-:xngoments. meaning as regards motifying the ,undertakers and so forth. The misapprehension is soon | | epread about -the neighborhood amd the many friends of the family are loud in. their lamentations over the | supposed death of the seven-years-old girl However, when Mrs. Jenkins’ | guests arrive they find her in a jovial rame of mind. Believing that she is bearing up so well just for their es%cml benefit, they fall upon her ne and shower their sympathies upon her. At first, the hostess won- ders at the peculiar actions of her guests but, after a time, it dawns upon | her that there has been a serious mis- take. Almost frantic she tries in vain to get her husband on the (?‘l‘bhfln?‘. Chaos reigns at the party and mat- ters are not adjusted until a delega- tion meets ‘“poor hubby” at the rail- | road station and corrects tne mis- taken impression which has ncarly driven him mad with grief. Owihg to the fllnef{ of Mrs. Samuel | A. Tiske, who is the leader of the | Girls’ Aid society, Miss Helen Rohm has taken charge of the arrangements | for the play. Gifts From Miss North. | A special meeting of the Worthing- | ton Ecclesiastical society has been called for Wednesday evening, March 21 at 8:30 o’clock in the cnurch, to | take action on the recetpt of an en- lowment fund of $500 from the estate of Miss Catherine M. North, It is probable - that resolutions will be drawn up at this time. Although Miss North left no will, she left instructions for the distribu- tion of some of her money. The en- dowment fund of $500 was left to cover the expense of keeping in repair the clock in the church tower. The clock itself is one of her gifts. Tt is understood that Miss North algo left the sum of 3115 to be added to the Catherine M. North fund in the Berlin Library association. This trings the amount of that fund up to $200. She also left a rund in trust with the Worthington Ecclesiastical soclety for the care of her plot in Miple cemetery. The distribution of the funds been made by Alfred North of Phila- delphia, who was the administrator of her estate. & Women Judges at Debate.

The following communication con- tributed by the local branch of the soctalistic ‘party is evidently given as an explanation for the failure of thut* organization to pay the bills charged against it for the use of the town hall for lectures held under its auspjces. Editor of the New Britain Herald:— From time to time, there has ap- peared in your paper various state- ments, purporting to come from the selectmen of Plainvite, regarding the use of the town hall by the socialist party. Inasmuch there are no records of any of the old /parties ever paying for the use of the town hall, and as it is customary for ather towns in the state to give the free use of without any discrimi- nation to any party that wants to use it, a resolution to that effect was in- troduced at the last session af tha annual town meeting and passed without a single dissentive vote, As we understand this resolution has been stricken from the minutes, it naturally follows that we would like to know from what saurce the clerk obtained his authority to do so. If things of this kind can be done, what is the use of calling town meetings, and lawfully passing resolutions anly to have them set aside by an appar- ently invisible government? If we have reached that point, the town should adopt the commission form of | government where the rule of the peaple is at an end. We recognize the fact that the above mentioned resolution is of little importance. The real reason being the other resolu- tion instructing the board of select. men to take such steps as was nec- essary to the purchasing of the water tem from the Plainville Water Co., which was also passed without any objection. This is the real issue, for it is obvious that all transactions passed at the same meeting In exact- ly the same manner, can be treated alike.
