Lonergan to Speak Tomorrow. Local-democracy plans to wind up the fall campaign with a whirlwind finish that they hope will leave the republicans so breathless that they v:ill be unable to rally before Novem- ber & when it will be to realize that | they have lost their grip on this town and the old democratic party has once more come into its own. Therefore, tomorrow noon at 12:15 o'clock the Hon. Augustine M. Lonergan, candi- date for natlonal representative, will give a short address to the working- men at the Berlin Construction com- pany factory gates. The former con- be brief and to the point and will present his arguments in a compact, hut convincing form. At 12:40 o’clock he will address another noon day rally at the American Paper Goods factory, talking person- ally to the workingmen of whom he asks their vote. These are the first noon day raliies to be held in this place this year. John A. Moore of Kensington, candidate for representa- tive and hailed by the democratic fol- lowers as the man who will lower the colors of Col. C. M. Jarvis and the G. O. P. on the local issue, will give a short speech at each factory, pre- ceding the talk of the former con- gressman. East Berlin Rally- Weather permitting, there will be an open air rally in East Berlin Thursday evening, when Danlel Sulli- van of New Britain will give a talk on the political situation. Candidate John Moore will also address this rally in an attempt to wean a few more votes from the Hast Berlin forces.

Plainviille News GUNNINGHAM DRUNK PROBATION REVOKED Justice Prior Refuses to Give Prisoner Second Chance REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES R. W. \Voodi'ng Gets Tract of Land to Use for Sand: Pits—Other Proper- ties Transferred—Valuations Un- changed in Tax Lists. Having failed to take advantage of an opportunity to reform given him recently by the court, Patrick Cun- ninghdm by appearing on the streets yesterday in an intoxicated condition clected to pay a Visit to the Hart- ford jail, Justice E. P. Prior, before whom he was arraigned last evening, revoking his probation and imposing an additional fine of $5 and cost taken to jail this morning by Constable Downing. The prisoner will spend nearly two months in that institution satistying both Judgments. Efforts of Officer Downing to get the accused off the streets were un- fruitful and he had to lock him up- Cunningham had a fine of $5 and a jail sentence of thirty days hanging cver him for a previous offense and when he appeared in court Justice Frior explained that he had been given chance erough and he revoked ¥ probation order- The prisoner made a plea for clem- ency and promised to do better if given another opportunity but the court had but littde confidence in him and besides ordering the executio nof the penalty previously impos on a fine of 5 with cos terday’s offense. Use Lots For Sand Pits. Seventy-three building lots located on New Britain Terrace in the south- ern extremity of the Mountain View section have been sold by the J. W. Wilbur Land company of Brookline, Mass., to Ralph A. Wooding of New Britain. Deeds showing the transfer have been recorded in the town clerk’s office The property was cut into lots a number of years ago and it was orig- inally intended to sell it for building purposes It is understood Mr. Wood- ing will convert it into sand pits. Land in this section is of a sandy character and the soil is salable for use in buildings and road construction. Other Realty Deals. James Wilkinson yesterday sold and and buildings on Farmington .venue to Mrs. Eugene Davis of Farm- ington. Deeds have been recorded showing the sale of two building lots in Moun- tain View by the J. W. Wilbur com- pany to Antonio Orlando- Numerous sales made by the Urqu- rardt-Swift company in the section in Red Stone Hill which it recently de- veloped, have been made a matter of record. Among the transfers is land and a house to Charles Dean of For- estville. Harold Kalish and wife have also secured a deed for one of the lots. The company cut the property into over ninety building lots and in less than three weeks sold the entire tract. Real estate business is enjoying a Loom at pesent in Plainville and a number of deals for property trans- fers are now in the works. Valuations Unchanged. While the demand for building lots and land suitable for development for Fuilding purposes has caused the prices of property to soar during the past few months, taxpayers are not Loosting the valuation of their hold- ings appreciably in making out state- ments for the assessors. In the great jority of cases the property owners have listed their land and buildings at the same figure for which they were zssessed last year- The advent of the Rockwell-Drake company in Plainville and general prosperity has caused the prices of real estate to stiffen when the owners ere approached by prospective cus- tomers. But in preparing affidavits for the assessors the taxpayers seem- ingly believed land values are about the same as they were a year ago. The time for presenting statements expires tonight and the penrg'yv pre- scribed by law will be impdSed on those whose lists are not in the hands of the assessors by that time. Mem- bers of the board reported today that a large percentage of the affidavits are already In. They expect to begin im- mediately compiling the grand list. They have not indicated whether they will make a general increase owing to the realty boom but as the grand list is at present up ta a high mark it is doubtful if they will make many changes except in cases where build- ings have been erected or the prop- erty otherwise improved. Addition to Store House, The Plainville Hardware company bas been awarded the contract for electric wiring for the addition to the storehouse of the W. J. Cahill com- pany. While the concern has been in busi- ress here but a few months it has out- grown its quarters and additional floor space has to be provided. Arrange- ments are being made to have a spur track laid near its buildings and a ple ballots that he will distribute to those who want them.

General business canditions neces- sitating overtime work in many of the factories will probably result in the school board deciding against giving evening schools another tryout this year. The board has made no plans for having night sessions for the bene- fit of the non-English speaking resi- dents and it is doubtful 1f the mem- bers will move in that direction. The war in Europe has caused the return to their native land of a num- Ler of the Italian residents and others who would be expected to take advan- tage of the opportunity of acquiring an education at night schools are working overtime at their regular em- ployment. This condition also pre- vailed last winter and it was necessary to abandon the evening school idea after classes were in session but a few weeks. The school board will meet tonight to organize for the ensuing year and the evening school matter may come up for discussion. Brief Items. T. W.
