The supply of the former is decreasing so fast that from present indications. it will be entirely gone within a very short time. In order to keep the bins of his many customers partly filled, George Baldwin, the Ken- ington coal merchant, is selling and lelivering only in quarter ton lots, He received his first carload in three months yesterday and it has been on the road since December 4. Accord- ing to Mr. Baldwin, the prospect of receiving any more in the near future, is very uncertain and he warns tho housekeepers to husband their supply as much as possible. M. D. Stanley reports stock entirely ted He has orders-in for seve but the mine people are unable to fill them | on account of the scarcity of cars. | Unless something is done to alle- | viate the freight situation there is a ssibility of the local factories shut- ting down, it is said.

Her case is one of the most pa- thetic that has been called to the tention of the selectmen in a long time and while Chairman Johnson dislike to have her committed to the poor house, he said this morning that th 1y 1 circumstances seemingly permit of no alternative. Mrs. Lloyd, who is ove eighty years of age, has reached a point where her purse is empty and | the cupboard in her home practically bare, and unless assistance is rendercd her few remaining years will be spent with the flotsam and jetsam that has | been tossed out of the sea of humanity finally finding a resting place in the one harbor remaining open to them— the almshouse. Mrs. Lloyd's husband, who was veteran of the Civil War, many of the important battles of which he took 't in, died a few years ago leaving s widow several thousand dollars. During his life, Lloyd, who was honest and thrifty, made a little nest e with his wife's assistance, to keep the wolf from the door when old age crept upon them, and at b death h widow had an estate that would easily have kept her in comfort until her death, had it been properly man- aged. Deeply religious and charitable to a fault, Mrs. Lloyd was unable to ses others suffer for lack of world goods, while she was in comfort he: self and she frequently raided her lit- tle treasury to help poor and needy. To the churches in which she was i terested and the philanthropic soci- eties she also contributed Iliberally and a few years ago, her relatives claiming that she was giving money without reason, applied to the probate court for the appointment of a conservator over her, fearing that she would eventually become a dependent. Mrs. Lloyd, who was bright and active at the time, made sich an impression in court, how- erer, when she appeared to oppose the application, was given a decision and she continued using her purse in the cause of humanity. She had built a small addition to the residence of I. B. Peck on For- estville avenue on condition that she would have the life use of the apart- ments. She has since been living there with an attendant as she was too old and feeble to take care of her- self and, except perhaps for thos who benefitted by her benefactions, she passed her time practically for- gotten by the community. A few days ago the selectmen were notified that her treasury was so de- pleted that it would take but about another week to make a pauper of her. TInvestigation made by Select- man Johnson revealed the fact that away {it cost from $10 to $12 a week to | keep her. This includes an expense of about $6 a week for a woman to stay with the old lady and attend to her wants. The selectman communicated with two of her nephews but he has heard nothing from them and yesterday he conferred with the charity department to have her cared for at the alms- | house in that city at $4.50 a week. ry Mansfield, who has been | ‘While many veterans and the | widows of hundreds of old soldiers, | not by any means in want, are receiv- | have gone to Atlantic city for a weelk. | ing $25 or $30 and even more a month in pensions, Mrs. Lloyd, always inter- ested in the welfare of others rather than her own, draws a niggardly $3 a | week from the government for whose preservation her husband many times risked his life.

Newell and James | Simpson, are making plans for their nnual meetings to hear protes ainst the action of the assessors in | compiling the grand list. The board | will hold its first session on Tuesday, " February 1st, and will meet again .n February 5, 12 and 21st, gathering on | other dates should there be a demand | for additional sessions, Under the law applications for re- lief cannot be entertained unless pre- sented not later than February 21st. While the assessors sent out nearly social diver marriage Es the valuation of property as recorded on the grand list, it is not expected {that the number of complaints to be | made to the relief board will be above normal. In most instances the | raises were very small. Many of them fall on non-resident tax payers, who failed to file their lists. They are not entitled to hearings under the law. Other rajses were largely the re- sult of the efforts of the essors to cqualize the valuation of building lots. Addition to Crew. The gang of laborers employed in making excavations for the plant or the Rockwell-Drake company on A. I, Rockwell’s property near Mountain View was augmented today, a numbe of out-of-town men having been se cured to assist in digging the cellar. | Over thirty men were on the job to- day and the company hopes to bring the number up to fifty by Saturday. Good wages are being offered and | despite the demand for help, the men in charge of the work expect to have enough laborers to do the work in the six weeks which has been fig- gured as the time required for get- | ting the building in shape to receive | machinery. May Form Realty Company. i The addition of the Rockwell- | Drake plant to the town’s industrial | establishments presents a problem in | housing to Plainville as perhaps hundred workingmen, who will be employed in the factory will soon he seeking accommodations here and the idea of organizing a reality company | to erect new homes is receiving ser- | ious consideration. { The matter will be taken up by | the Business and Improvement asso- ciation in the near future and it believed that the suggestion that corporation be formed for the erec- tion of dwelling houses will be mado as a probable solution of the problem. Real estate men, who have heard reports that the company will have a big plant on the property within a few years, a result which would send the prices of building lots in Plain- ville soaring skyward, have already looked over land here with the ob, of buying and offers have been made to a number of the owners of property | | desirable for building purposes.
