Autoists Before Night Court. Night court for autoists is the la- | test innovation introduced by Jus- tice A, H. Condell. The latter or- dered a special session last evening to hear charges against Carl Hannon and J. L. O'Brien, both of Waterbury, who had been arrested of Officer Mar- ino for driving through the town without having the rear lights on | their machines burning. After the men were stopped by ‘he officer Grand Juror Gwillin was com- | municated with and he agreed to having them arraigned without de- | lay. Justice Condell reported at the | Town hall a short time later and the men were put to plea. | Both Hannon and O’Brien admitted | that they were guilty of a technical | violation of the law and the court fined each of them $1 and the of- ficer’s fees. Both the justice and ¢rand juror remitted their fees. Increase May Stand. Having heard no report to the con- trary from the state board of equal- ization, the officials here are now as- suming that the protest against the increase of $150,000 in Plainville's grand list did not make much of an impression on Commissioner Corbin and his associates and that the raise wili stand. Tne action of the board is regarded here as being very unfair as the grand list is now too large to satisfy a -large number of the taxpayers. Property has been assessed for - ilz | full valuation and it is generally con- | ceeded tha. much of it would not sell | for as high a.figure as it appears on the books. Better. for Passengers. The change in the location of the light signal ana the stopping station made by the Connecticut company at the center in compliance with the wishes of the selectmen, from thea | viewpoint of passengers, is certainly | a big improvement. People boarding cars at the center | | under the new rule have but a short distance to walk from the curb at the corner of Whiting street. Heretofore the cars stopped at a point nearly in front of Gleason’s lunch room and passengers alighting from or board- ing them were in grave danger from | speeding autos. $ While the new arrangement min- | dmizes the danger to passengers it will | not be of benefit to traffic at this | point.
