John Cashman of Kensington is confined to his home today as a result of falling off a freight car, while per- fcrming his duties. Mr. Cashman viorks for the New York, New Haven o Hartford railroad as a brakeman a; is connected with the yard crew in New Britin. The crew were just finishing its work for the day in that city and Mr. Cashman was on top of a_ car giving signals. As the engine ‘bumped” the car he lost his balance ’".'3 wag precipitated to the ground. He was removed to his home and Dr, M. H. Griswold was summoned to. at- tend him. The victim was painfully bruised and severely shaken up but it is impossible to tell as yet whether any bones were broken. Mr. Cash- man will probably be confined to his home for the next two wooks. Bridges and Roads. The turnpike bridge, the construc- tion of which has been the cause of much comment about the state for the past few months, will positively be open by Saturday, according to the eontractors. This morning the work- men started to apply the tar surface oW the bridge. It will take about a day and a half for this to dry and then the bridge will be open for traffic. Life, according to FGirst Selectman Gibney, is just one bridge after an- cther. The turnpike bridge will soon be out of the way, but the roadway ,under the railroad bridge in Kensing- top now needs Tepairing. When the c;;cre!n road was built in that loca- tion, there were not enough cinders put under it to form a proper base. As a result, great holes have appeared on the surface In which water col- lects after each raln, making it dis- agreeable not only for automobilists but also for those who use the path- way. The selectman will start gang of men remedying this trouble toggorrow. morning. AMr. G'bney received a communica- tion from the state highway commis- gioner’s office this morning, that on account of the latencss of the season it is impossible to oil the new East Berlin road before next spring. In order to preserve the road as much as possible My, Gibney was told to apply a.govering of gravel. This will mean ‘axdonsiderable expense to the town ‘because the gravel ig procured from Dutton’s pit in Cromwell, which is al is probable that the | station will be ripped up.

J. Johnson, ow-. ing to the indications of a substantial increase in expenses for the fiscal vear. Unless the assessors give the grand list another big Jump, a move which they aver they are not con- templating at this time the revenue from a fourteen mill tax will, Mr. Johnson believes, hardly be sufficient to meet with expenses without plung- | ing the town further into debt anag the rate will have # be increased, the practicing of the strictest sort of economy being the only alternative. Many people will be surprised at this information as there was a belief in certain quarters that by doing without a regular patrolman and | making other savings, not considered difficult, the town could get along this year on the money received from the old tax rate of 12% mills. The selectman does not concur in this opinion and this morning he pointed out certain increases in the expenses that cannot be avoided and will keep the town officials with their noses to the grindstone if they are to pay the bills with the revenue from a fourteen mill tax. Among the items to which the se- lectmen calls attention is the appro- priation for the school/board. The indication are that the town will have to pay out about $3,500 more for the education of children, than was expended last year. This is due in a large measure to the fact that this year Plainville is to lose the enumeration grant state. Heretofore the state has heen paying the town about $2,200 a vear towards the expense of the schools. The enumeration grant, however, 1s made only to towns having a grand list less than $2,000,000. Property here is now assessed at over two mil- lion dollars and consequently Plain- ville leaves the class entitled to share in the state appropriation. The or- dinary expenses of the schools are also slated for a substantial increase | owing to the addition of a new room which necessitated the emploving of | an extra teacher. Besides the town has to pay about $500 for the portable schoolhouse recently purchased. There have been many improvements made at the school plant since the close of the fiscal year and the se- lectman cannot see how an increase of $3,500 can be avoided. There are to be mgcreases in some other departments, Mr. Johnson figures, and it will be with difficulty, he believes, that the officials pay all the bills unless the voters raise the tax rate again. That any move to make the rate higher than fourteen mills would meet with determined opposition is a- recognized fact as there is a faction, which has always shown up strong at town meetings, strongly against such a move. In fact its leaders have been contemplating a drive for a re- duced rate and still favor such action. Has Five Year Lease. Answering a query from Kirkham and Cooper, New Britain lawyers, Town Clerk R. C. Usher today sent a letter in which he explained that the lease of the Electric Field held by William W. Hanna will not expire until April 1, 1918, The lease was granted by the Connetcicut compansy owner of the property for a period of five years. » While the lawyers gave no Witima- tion as to why they sought the infor- mation it is belleved that they were | looking after the interests of people | injured last Saturday when one of the | stands collapsed. Tt is reported that | an attempt will be made to collect | damages for those who were hurt in the accident. In the lease it is stipulated that the ee shall assume responsibility for claim that might result from an accident at the park causing personal | injury to people on the grounds. The | transfer of $1 was all that the com- pany required for the lease. Mr, Hanna leased the park for use | for baseball games, but since New Britain was dropped from the state| leaegue the place has heen used but | little, Clambach-Kilkeary Wedding. Miss Helen Marie Kilkeary of East street, and William Calmbach of Cur- tis street, New RBritain, were united in marriage this morning at 11 o'clock at the rectory of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, Rev. William P. Kil- coyne officiating. The couple were at- tended by Miss Katherine Donahue as maid of honor and James F.

The selectmen are anxious to have the townspeople pay more attention to the matter of reporting burned out street lamps and they have requested more prompt notification The town has to pay for all lights, whether they are burning or not, un- less notice is given to the company that any of them are out of order. Only in the event of the company's failure to make repairs within forty- eight 'hours after Tiotice has been giv- en, does the town get a rebate. The incandescents burn out fre- quently and it is sometimes four or five days before the selectmen are aware that sections of certain streets are not illuminated. Selectman Johnson requests that word be sent to one of the members of the board as soon as burned out bulb is discovered.
