Certificates of the burial permits in the Wilcox cemetery were returned to 'Town' Clerk Francis H. Shaw by the sexton, Hobart L. Honiss, this morn- ng. The extraordinary feature about the peturning of the permits is that his is the first time that the sexton done so in six years. There is a.law which states that e burial permits shall be returned Bvery month by the sexton, who re- eives a remuneration of fifty cents ffrom . the town for doing so.

The annual statement of the clerk showed that the parish has had a healthy growth during the year, while the treasurer's report gave a small balance in the treasury with all bills paid. The parish is entirely free from debt and the members were pleased to learn that despite the hard times the revenue during the year was moreé than sufficient to meet the expenses even though there were some extraordinary bills incurred. Much of the credit for the excel- lent condition of the parish is given to the rector, Rev. R. H. Burton, who has worked unceasingly for its im- provement.

The committee in charge = of * the seventh annual banquet, recently Biven, .presented a statement showing that there was a deficit of $28 in their account. This &mount had been raised among the members and all bills had been paid. The banquet was a bigger success than the committee had ex- pected and the members who had to makeé ‘up the deficit figured -the money well expended. During the meeting President ‘Wheeler gave a talk on the work that is being done by' the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, of which the local association is a .member. He considered that the state pody is en- titled to the support of the subordi- nate associations as it is handling some big problems, the solution of which concerns all the people of Con- necticut. After the meeting the directors as- rembled but no business was trans- ucted, a vote having been passed that purchased a car and has started run- ning between Plainville and Bristol in competition with the trolley line and a. squadron of autos which are now making a bid for passengers. ~ Young Glynn runs his car only in | the afternoons and evenings, attend- ing school in the morning. Lords Get $350. A decision . fayorable to the plain- tiffs has been handed down by Judge ¥, L. Smith of the court of common pleas in the case of Frank J. and Matilda Lord against the estate of Patrick Coughlin. © The actions were tried several gays ago, the plaintiffs asking for $1%000 for services which they claimed they had rendered the eccentric old bachelor for several years prior to his death with the un- derstanding that he would will them the house in which they made their home. Administrator James Cray, repre- senting twenty mieces and nephews of Coughlin, who are to share in the dis- tribution of over $65,000, the value of his estate, entered a-general denial of the claims. Judge Smith gave a decision for Mrs. Lord for $300 with costs and also gave her husband $50 with costs. The settlement of the estate has been held up, on account of the litiga- tion but it is probable that it will now be attended to. Body Brought Here, The body of Levi B.
