A number of Kensington people at- tended the meeting of the charter revision committee of the city of New Britain last evening, but from reports heard about town this morning were not entirely enthusiastic over the prospects. They expected to be met half way by the city commission, but were sadly disappointed as the wel- “come extended with not cordial, At the previous meeting, the feeling was gathered that the Hardware City de- sired the annexation of the thriving village, but last night's meeting seemed to give local people a “Get e reputation” plan and “we will con- gider it.” in other words the whole bFunt was put up that all tering should be done from Kensing- ton. There seems to be a difference of opinion among some of the citizens, regarding the proposed plan now.

Considerable excitement was caused around the center today when a horse owned by John Segla of Forestville, dashed through the streets at a 2:10 clip, an unoccupled carriage trailing in its wake. its mad gallop near town line. Its jaunt was abruptly halted as it neared the post office on street, the carriage crashing into an automobile owned by Myron E. Rog- the ers, which had been left by the road- | side. The horse was thrown and was apparently badly injured. riage was also smashed and the auto was damaged to some extent. The animal was led barn where it dropped to the floor. The owner subsequently made an ap- pearance and started a search for a | veterinary, in the hope of saving the | life of the injured animal. Eobert | P. O. Changes.
