Grange Carnival Closes, The two nights carnival. of the Berlin Grange Red Roses came to a close last evening, with a large crowd 4n attendance. The affair proved a great success both socially and finan- clally. Dancing was.enjoved and the entertainment proved very pleasing. Several prizes were awarded, but the comanittee has been unable to an- nounte the winners as yet. During the lecture hour at the Grange next Tuesday evening, a competitive program will be held, the girls against the boys. The event is something out of the. erdinary and just what the competition will con- sist of the announcement failed to disclase.

Driving LAW LIBRARY TO U, Of Ann Arbor, Mich, April 28.—AIl of the works dealing with interna- flonal law in the library of the late Dr. James B.

The collection contains many law book M. which are not duplicated in any library in the United States, another important achievemerit for | the organization under whose patron- age it is to be given. “ '/ Extend Permanent Pavement. Extension of the permanent pave- | ment area almost to the end of Whiting street is now practically as- sured, Highway Commissioner Ben- nett and officials of the Connecticut company having agreed to have the road covered with amiesite from a point in front of the Newton property to that part of the street where the| trolley cars turn off onto me corpora- tion’s own property. i That the town will be asked to co- | operate in the movement to improve the highway is generally;expected and | it is probable th#t a special town meeting will be d to put before the voters the mat¥er of making an appropriation #8' cover part of the ex- | pense. Providing the public utilities com- | mission grants the petition of the Connecticut company for permission | to relay its tracks on the street, and | there is no indication that the action will be unfavorable, no opposition | having developed at the hearing held | Wednesday, there will be a big im- provement in the highway. Commissioner Bennett has agreed | to lay amiesite on the entire highway, the width of the pavement to be| twenty-seven feet. The expense of nine feet of this to be borne by the | trolley people and the balance by the state. The street is forty feet wide and the commissioner has advised that to make the improvement com- | plete the amiesite should be continued | from curb to curb, the town paying | for the thirtéen feet remaining. While there may be some objection | to the town’s entrance in the scheme, | owing to the expe@se involved, there | is % disposition ongthe part of many | progressive citizens ‘to favor the idea. | A continuance of the permapent pavement is highly desirable. ' It will greatly improve the street and the, plans of the highway commissioner are most gratifying to local people. Selectman Johnson said today that it would be an excellent plan to have the pavement extend from curb to curb but he Is doubtful if the town can afford to go into the scheme with | the present condition of the treasury. Final decisién will not be made for ‘a number of weeks and the towi will have ample opportunity to selcef its course. The amiesite laid on Rast Main street and Central Square a few years ago lIs giving entire satsfaction. It is a big improvement over macadarm surface and its extension will be wel- comed. !

The company has | practically admitted its liability and ! the only question now to be settled concerns the amount to which the town is entitled. The selectmen be- lieve that the lawyers will eventualiy reach an agreement without ~con- tinuing the litigation in court. The removal of the stumps of the ! dead trees is now in progress and the | expense ofsthis work,-the selectmen believe, will be included in-the amount which the company will pay in set- Trumbyll Funeral Tomorrow.
