Preliminary plans for the erection of a bungalow adjacent to the upper reservoir were discussed at a meeting of the directors of the Mattebesset Fishing cluh last night. It is planned to erect a building twenty by thirty feet ,to be used as a clubhouse and for social purposes. Although nothing def- inite was decided the opinion prevails among the members of the club that the building will be erected in the im- mediate future so it may be utilized for various purposes during the com- ing summer. President Robert Graham presided ans ! ana screenin {ing was twenty-four by eighteen feet. It has been opened for two weeks and exercises will be held | Congregational | was transacted. It was voted to open up both the lower and upper reser- voirs this summer and to place three row boats on each pond for use of the member: The club is in a flour- ishing condition at present, having over 200 members enrolled. Something For Nothing. First Selectman William H. Gibney was seen in front of the town hall yes- terday morning after court watching the laborers of the Connecticut com- pany digging up the road and laying in new tracks. For the life of him, he could not figure what would be done with the screenings, which would be left over after the new rails had been laid. He had in mind the con- dition of the East Berlin road with its | many ruts and thought the small stone would made ideal fil- ler for that road. He approached the foreman and asked him what he in- tended to do with the left overs. The foreman said he did not know so the selectman offered to cart them away. The former acquiesced and the town| will have between 300 and 400 tons of filling for the road simply for remov- ing the stone. Xibrary Whist. All is in readiness for the first night of the whist in the Peck Memorial Li- brary for the bhenefit of the institution. | An ample supply of the pasteboards have been secured and the committee has made arrangements so that any- one attending will be cared for. In addition to the whist, home-made candy will be placed on sale. To Build Addition. Life is just one thing after another with E. W. Mott, the restaurateur. He had considerable difficulty in get- ting his lunch room launched and now he finds the building inadequate to accommodate his fast increasing trade. When first erected the build- now it is too small. This morning work was started on an addition which will be eighteen by fifteen feet. Makes Offer. W. A. Perkins, representing the Boston Road Repairing company has called on First Selectman William H. Gibney and made an offer which the | latter is inclined to accept. The Bos- ton concern manufacturers and ap- plies a special preparation of tar, which is a permanent binder and dust layer. Last year the town paid five and one-quarter cents a gallon for oil and it proved unsatisfactory. Mr. Perkins offered to demonstrate his material on a stretch of road from 1,000 to 2,000 feet at the same place. First Selectman Gibney will bring the matter before the selectman at their meeting on May 12. Getting Ready. William Holtz of Hartford was a visitor in town thi morning. Mr. Holtz is connected with the American Fiber company and is looking over the field of the concern's future activities. He sald the company is anxious to start soon on its product and will do everything to expedite the matter. It is planned to have the company's fore- man settled by the fifteenth and it is expected the work of installing the machinery will be started soon after.
