C. W. Stevens and Ed- | ward Loiselle were the choice of the meeting and both consented to serve. Selectman Alling made a report for the board in regard to having the gutters and curbs extended the full length of the present concrete road as he was authorized to do at the last adjourned meeting. He said that he had taken the matter up with the highway commissioners and they had | stated that two propositons had been , made to the town, one being that | the town appropriate $3,000 and the state would put in gutters, curbs and ! retaining walls the length of the road. The second was that for the ' appropriation of $700 the state would put in gutters and curbs where necessary and as far as the money went. If another appropria- iton were made it was already too | late to do the work this vear. The state is to extend the present concrete road to the Meriden town line in the spring but it would be difficult to include this mattér in the con- tract.

DAILY HERALD, TUMBLE FORF. OF A, | Committee Gets Barnum Attrac- tion for Big Entertainment | PLAN SALERNO'S DEFENSE Foresters Expect Good Sum Will Be Realized For Club Room Fund— Will Opposc Permanent Pavement Appropriation—Briefs. Plans were completed at a meet- ing of Court General Lawton, F. of A., last evening for the entertainment and dance to be given in the Town hall Friday night for the benefit of the fund that is being raised to make | possible the leasing of quarters to be used as club rooms by Plainville For- ester Members of the order are anxious to get rooms where they can meet socially and they are working earnestly to make JFriday night's af- fair a success, figuring that the re- turns will make a nucleus for a fund sufficiently large to encourage them in their efforts. A committee is now at work look- ing into the advisability of hiring quarters. Tt has taken up with Vin- cenzo Minello the plan of making the upper floor in the building he is to erect on Whiting street so arranged that it will be suitable for use as club rooms. The owner of the prop- erty seems favorable to the idea and may carry it out. The feature of the coming enter-- tainment will be furnished by the Riv- ers Four of Waterbury, a quartet of acrobats and contortionists. The young men are natives of the Brass City. They were members of the Bar- num and Bailey circus troupe and at one time they occupied a prominent position in the acrobatic worfd. Other numbers on the program will be se- lections by the Foresters' chorus and solos by Albert Conlin, Leo Prior and William Cunningham. Fox's orches- tra has been engaged to furnish the music for the entertainment and to play for the dancing which will fol- low. g Seven applications for membership were received at last night's meeting. Reports of the officers indicated that the court was in exgellent condition and is growing steadily. The treas- urer’s statement showed that there is over $2,000 on deposit in banks in the court’s favor.and that the financial condition of the organization was never better. Lawyers For Salerno. While relatives and friends-of Jo- seph Salerno, who is at the Hartford jail awaiting disposition-of the charge of wife murder for which he was bound over to the superior court Sat- urday, believe that he is insane and will not be brought before a jury, they are preparing to see that his legal rights are properly safeguarded and they are now making arrangements for the retaining of lawyers. The young man was not represented by counsel when he was arraigned here but friends of the family said today that before the end of the week at least two and possibly three attorneys will be retained to look after his in- terests. Salerno’s friends are basing their belief on the probabilities of his being declared insane on the statements of Dr. Carl J. Hart, who attended him in the New Britain hospital. The physi- clan characterized the slayer as a paranofac and stated that in his opin- fon the murderer was not mentally right at the time of the killing. They feel confident that the state's attorney will not ask for an indictment for murder and that a trial before a fury will be avolded. Oppose Appropriation. Considerable opposition has de- veloped to the suggestion of Highway Commissioner Bennett that the town make an appropriation sufficlent to cover the expense of having amiesite laid on the part of Whiting street not included in that which is to be improved by the state and Connecti- cut company. A strip 61 wide on each side of the street will not be paved unless the town pays for the work. Should the amiesite be ex- tended from curb to curb, the town’s share of the expense of the improve- ment would be $5,700, according to the estimates given to the selectmen. The money involved would mean an addition of about two mills to the tax rate and the voters, while appreciat- ing the value of the improvement, do not believe that such an expenditure is warranted at this time. There see msto.be a disposition on the part of some to favor having the pavement cover the entire highway as far south as Broad street, letting the balance go as far as the town is con- cerned. Others appear to be satisfled with the strlp twenty-seven feet wide which the state and Connecticut company have planned and they ex- press the opinion that it will satisfy the needs of traffic. The matter will be taken up at a special town meeting Thursday eve- ning and it 1s expected that a verdict unfavorable to the appropriation will be recorded. In connection with the laying of the pavement the argument has been ad- vanced that before the improvement is started the town should see that the surface water sewer on Whiting street is extended to a point where the amiesite will terminate. The pipe at present stops at Broad street and some of the taxpayers declare that it should be continued further south before the pavement is laid to ob- iate the tearing up of the amiesite at some future time. There is noth- ing in the call for the special town meeting regarding such an improve- TUESDAY, Pia nviite News - CIRCUS WONDERS T0 NOVEMBER 14, 1916, ment but it may be discussed infor- mally. Police Question Too, Although agreed to pay pari of the expense of hiring an officer to do patrol duty at the center, providing he gives up « part of his time each night to look- ing after the freight yards, this offer lectman Johnson. Before such an ar- is vet rather vague, according to S rangement could be made there much red tape to go through in “'yellow building” in New Haven and there is nothing certain about the offer tentatively made some of the officials. The voting machine question will not come up at the meecting. It is to be considered at an adjourned town meeting to be held on November 20, the voters having dccided at the time they endorse the plan of giving the apparatus a try out to put off until that date the question of purchasing it the by Violated F Acting on the request of local au- thorities constables in Forestville last evening arrested David Molumphy who is wanted here for violating his probation. Molumphy, who is not a stranger to the police of Connecticut, having been arrested on numerous times for intoxication, was before Justice C. H. Calor a few months ago. He was charged with drunken- ness, and a nominal fine was imposed The prisoner's plea’ for clemency was made so earnestly that Justice Calor decided to give him a chance. Molumphy tool: the pledge and agreed 1o pay the fine in a few days. Ho was let go and immediately proceeded to forget his promise to the court which had shown him leniency. He was drunk when taken in by the Forestville authorities and when Officer Marino brought him to Plain- ville today he was still badly under the influence of liquor. Justice Calor will dispose of his case this ning. < Probation. Resolutions By Council Approving the dissolution of the Ppastoral relations between Rev. . L. Grant and the Congregational church, made necessary by his recent resigna- ‘tlon to accept a call to an East Hamp- | ton church, the ecclesiastical council at its meeting held .in the chapel yes- terday afternoon adopted the follow- ing resolution: “Whereas, the Rev.
