A party of New York men inspected the Hartford Burial Case factory on the Farmington road yesterday. When asked by a townsman if they were contemplating purchasing it one of the men said: “It is quite possible.” He was reticent when further -ques- tions were asked, other than saying his concern employed 125 hands. He refused to divulge, the nature of their line. ' He said at present the concern is located in New York city but finds the rental too high to carry on a profitable business. The citizens are well pleased to hear u rumor that the factory will soon be running again. The building is at present owned by the Hartford Burial Case company which occupied it until two months ago- It is an ideal location and is a modern building in every respect, Kensington Methodist Church. Yesterday afternoon *“Old People’s day” was celebrated at the church and the attendance was very gratifying. Dr. P. B. Raymond, ex-president of Wesleyan university, gave an extem- poraneous talk and his remarks were well received.

The topic for discussion is “How We Can Forward the Methodist Movement in Our Church.” Library Committee Perturbed, The members of the Kast Berlin asgociation are very much agitated over the rumor that the Improvement society is considering selling or turn- ing Athletic hall into a tenement house. When the latter organization procured the building, the Library as- sociation took a part or it for a read- ing room: There is no other place available at present and the members feel the room will have to be given up entirely unless pressure is brought to bear so the Improvement society will keep the building . That Bridge Again. The townspeople are not the only ones, who are disatisfled with the progress of Turnpike bridge. Autolsts, who have occasion to pass through this town going to or from Hartford, are very loud in their complaint of existing conditions at the bridge and the Meriden Journal of a recent issue has the following comment: “For four months autoists on their way to and from Hartford have been compelled to make long detours because of the condition of the bridse between Berlin and the capitol city. That bridge ought to have been com- pleted long ago for it was not such a | dificult job und the highway ought ltn be opened as soon as possible. l “There have been rumors over dis- putes between contractor and town, of misunderstanding between = the builders and the highway department and various other reports, but no sat- isfactory explanation of conditions has ever been given and the bridge is unfinished. “A_visit to the scene yesterday showed a half a dozen or so men working there in a desultory fashion and the concrete is not nearly fin- ished, which means that it will still be a matter of weeks before the thing is in shape to stand travel. With the single exception of this bridge the road to Hartford is in splendid shape and it is a shame that autoists should be compelled to put up with this condition for so long a time. We hope that Commisioner Bennett will endeavor to push the work along.” Briefs. Rev. S. A, Fiske and Rev.

ELSEWHERE | Plainville News | = ———— - g = HINT AT INCREASE '~ INLIBRARY FUNDS Directors Deplore Failure of Voters to Raise Appropriation REV. GRANT NEW CHAIRMAN Library Board Organizes For The Year—Has But Small Sum For Use In Buying Books—Johnson Wants To Be Shown—Briefs, Electing Rev. F. L. Grant as chair- man to succeed Harry A. Fisher and naming Rev. R. H. Burton to con- tinue as secretary and treasurer the board of library directors has or- ganized for the ensuing vear. In connection with the formation of the committee, the members decided to issue a statement to acquaint the vot- ers with conditions relating to the library, incidentally deploring the failure of the town to give the proper financial assistance. Out of a $200 appropriation made annually by the town for the library, the board spends over $100 for a Ii- brarian, nearly $20 to insure books and a small amount for repairing the old volumes. The balance remaining is consequently very small and the difficulties which the directors work under in their efforts to get new novels or non-fiction publications on the shelves is apparent. The statement given out today by the directors follows: “That the efforts of the board of directors to- maintain a first-class pub- ‘lic- library in Plainville are appreciat- ed by many is shown by the large patronage of the library, and words of commendation that are often ut- tered on the selection of books. On the testimony of competent judges we have as good a small public li- brary ‘as can ‘be found in most any Connecticut town. But few realize the difficulties under which the di- rectors labor in maintaining the li- brary on a proper basis. . With the exception of ‘a small number of hooks from the state and an occasional .gift our only resource is the town appro- priation of two hundred dollars per” year. Out of this we must pay the librarian’s salary, a yearly insurance, and the cost of repairing books. It will be seen that this leaves but a small amount for actual purchases. Yet a few years ago when a slight increase was asked for at an annual town meeting the motion was prompt- ly tabled without discussion. The directors feel that the reading public should be acquainted with the situa- tion, and while they have no plans on foot for raising additional funds, nor are directly asking for contribu- tions, they feel the citizens of the town of Plainville do not realize the scanty resources at their command. Tt is a worthy and important task to maintain a good public library, and we are taking this opportunity to set forth the present difficulties of the situation, trusting that the facts may somehow be appreciated in a practical fashion by the thoughtful members of the community who realize the educational and social advantages of the director’s work.” People interested in the Ilibrary, who realize its importance in the community, are in favor of having the selectmen include in the call for the special town meeting to be held increasing of the appropriation. They believe the town can well afford to contribute at least $300 a year towards the expense of the Institution. The resolution tabled at the meet- ing some time ago may be brought up at the coming session and if the situation is properly explained it is likely that favorable actfon will be taken by the voters. Elaborate Decorations. Judging from the plans of the com- mittee of arrangements, the Town hall will be transformed into a veritable fairyland for next Wednesday and Thursday, the dates set for the Mother Goose fair to be conducted under the auspices of the Woman’s club for the benefit of the library fund. It is the intention to have the hall decorated on a more lavish scale than ever this in December a clause concerning the | |What To Do For ‘Nervous Indigestion { When nerves go wrong they always strike ‘at your weakest spot. When this spot happens to be the stomach, | nervous dyspepsia results, appetite | vanishes and is replaced by an un- | easy, hollow feeling that keeps up | until every nerve in your body seems | on edge. The food you force down ' won’t digest properly, and you're all ' in—down and out for one day at least 8o far as being really useful to your- self or anyone else is concerned. It's the height of folly to force the | digestion of food with some pepsin pill while the stomach nerves are in such shape. Nervous indigestion comes from nerves alone. Get your nerves right and you'll feel tip top and eat and digest what you eat as any normal, healthy person should. Noth- ing could be better for such cases than a single Margo tablet eaten at every meal or whenever you feel blue or de- pressed and your nerves are working overtime, Margo is the greatest nerve tonic ever found for nervous dyspepsia, nervous headaches, and up- set nerves generally. It calms and steadies the nerves, when they to fly. It stimulates and strengthens the nerves when they are dull, tired out and sluggish, and you cannot con- centrate your mind on work Every tablet seems to go straight to the nerve cells and puts ambition, vim, vitality, confidence and courage every inch of your body. The Clark & Brainerd Co. and many other lead- ing druggists in New Britain and vicinity sell these Margo tablets, 40 to a package, on a positive guarantee that if they do not bring results and glve satisfaction the money paid for them. will be returned, and scores of people right here in town can testify to their marvelous efficiency. _— to raise enough money to make pos- sible the erection of a building suit- able for use as a public library and the public seemingly is lending -its support and giving enthusiastic co- operation.

COMPANY is in progress. They will wear appro- priate costumes. The, booths will be suitably decorated and, the entire scheme of decoration will be in har- mony with tone, of the nursery rhymes. Thursday afternoon the club has planned to have a sale of food and fancy articles in’ connection with.the fair. = The sale promises to be one of the big features of the enterprise and the women expect' to raise a substan- tial amount from the various booths. Hold Up Survey. Until the voters decide what tax rate they will adopt for the coming year, Selectman Johrison declared to- day the town officials will not take advantage of permission to make a general survey of the streets of the town given to them by the recent town meeting. The sleectman con- siders that in the long run the town would accomplish a considerable sav- ing by having all the principal streets surveyed at once, making it unneces- sary to engage engineers for a brief period at regular intervals to locate the boundary lines for property own- ers seeking information to which they are entitled by law. In view of the reports that an effort is to be made at the January session of the voters to reduce the tax rate to 12% mills, Mr. Johnson does not be- lieve the selectmen should spend any money, except in cases where it can- not be avoided. The seleetmen will await information as to how much money will be at their disposal before they make a decision as to how ex- lensive a survey will be made. Johnson Won't Pay. Unless it can be shown that Jennie Manchester, one of the victims of the jitney accident.in Unionville a week ago, is a resident of Plainville, Select- man Johnson said today he will re- fuse to settle with the New Britain General hospital for the treatment the girl s now recelving. According to the infocrmation given the selectman, the girl was here but a short time, and the town officials can see no good reason why Plainville should be re- sponsible for her care. As she was injured i Unionville, the selectmen believe the hospital should first look to that town for reimbursement. In connection with his investiga- tion of the case, Selectman Johnson was advised that the girl had $125 with her when she was brought back to Plainville after the accident, although she was without funds when she reached the hospital. A similar story was given to the pe- lice authorities a few days ago, but one of the constables said this morn- year and the place will present an ap- pearance that will be both novel and attractive. Members of the club are greatly en. couraged over the prospects because of the interest taken in the fair by the townspeople. There is considerable interest in the efforts of the women OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS A medicinal preparation like Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, that has real curative value almost sells itself.
