Town Clerk Shaw has made this]| enumeration for the past few years but Hleclined this year because of the agiount of labor and time connected ith the work. Already there is some question in the minds of a.few citi- zens as to whether the present board has the right to appoint anyone to office until after the decision of the supreme court in January regarding W. L. Alling’s appointment. Many feel thgt the present board should not ap- point while the question of the first selectman hangs fire. On the other hand there are many who take the view that inasmuch as W. I. Alling was awarded the office of first select- man by the moderator and has taken the oath of office, he should act in ing year and will Mr, Jones lost the third and fourth fingers of his right hand March 12, 1916, while in the employ of the Hartford Ice company.

Many of the members of both the Berlin and Kensington Congregatlon- al churches are attending the fiftieth anniversary of the Congregational churches in New Britain. A num- ber of the delegates are being enter- tained in Berlin homes as all could not be accommodated in New Brit- ain. Edward C. Dunham and Rev. Carleton Hazen are representing the Kensington Congregational church at the conference. The men's banquet will be held in the Center church at 6 o’clock this evening and a good rep- resentation of local men is expected. The members of the Kensington Methodist church are invited to meet with the official board at the parson- age this evening. Football Sunday.

This team is the fastest team that is representing the bell city on the grid- iron this fall and a battle royal should be the result. Each week the locals take on a team that is just a little better than the week before and it is expected that they will soon land one that is in their class.

Now that the election is settled, and Governor Holcomh turns to the gubernatorial chair this |is the question which is interesting | state as well as local observers of | things political. In the first placd there will be three | vacancies on the hench, to take the places of Judge Williams, who will re- i tire on account of {ll health, Judge | Willilam L. Bennett, of New Haven, and Judge Milton A. Shumway, of Killingly. It is pretty generally un- | derstood that Judge Isaac Wolfe, of | the court of common pleas here, will lreceive appointment to a place on the { bench. Judge Studley, who is close to Governor Holcomb, is urging the ap- pointment by the governor of Judge | Wolfe and the appointment would re- ceive the endorsement of the entire 'bar association, for Judge Wolfe is well liked here, and the fact that he was appointed as a demacrat during Governor Woodruff’s term of office does not in the least allenate the sup- | port of prominent republicans of the | county. Judge Wolfe is likewise held in high esteem by the governor him- {self. Calonel Ullman is most favor- }ahlr‘ to his appointments, and though '(he local leader has condescended to | ask few favors, if any, of the state |leader, J. Henry Roraback, or the | state organization, it is generally held at New Haven county is entitled to some consideration in the appoint- ments, considering the fact that it has secured little during the past two vears. Two more New Haven county can- didates for the bench are Ulysses G. Church, of Waterbury, and J. Birney Tuttle ,of this city. In the event of Judge Wolfe going to the higher court, j Judge Robert V.

Old residents are interested in the dispatch sent out yesterday afternoon from New York describing an ap- | praisal of the estate of John Purvis, at one time a resident of Plainville, which was filed Monday in the surro- gate's court in Brooklyn, N, Y. Pur- vis died in this town in 1880 and dur- ing the many years which has since | elapsed he had been practically far- gotten until the Brooklyn message of vesterday was received. Inventory of his estate shows that equity in New York property, which he owned, is now valued at $13,800, During his residence in Plainville Purvis lived on East street owning a farm which is now the property of | Wilbur Higgins. He is thought to have come here originally from New York state and was retired from active business when he moved to Plainville. Copies of his will which were filed with the appraiser’s report describe his wishes regarding the distribution of his money and mention property in this town. Recards show nothing in the name of his estate in this place and it is believed that the land men- tioned was sold after his death. The will, which was originally filed in the probate court in Farmington, refers to a bequest of $500 to Lillie Letts, known also as Lillie Ferguson, a friend, of Plainville, only on the candition “that she is known by com- mon reputation to be an upright and virtuous woman.” In recalling Purvis and his acquaintances old residents today did not seem to remember any- one of the name mentioned 1in the document. The delayed filing of the inventory was due to the fact that in the old use of his property, after bequests to relatives and friends had been de- ducted, be given to his widow, and at her death be transferred to his step- daughter. Mrs. Purvis passed away last February and preparations for a settlement of the estate are now being made. Numerous cash bequests contained in the will were paid out of the sale of property which Purvis owned Plainville. Among them was each of his two brothers, James J. and Joseph M. Purvis; to his sister, arah: $1.500 to his friend Robert J. Holmes to be held in trust for the decedent’s brother, William T.: $1,000 | to his step-daughter, Adelaide C. Wil- liams Purvis, now a resident of Brook- lyn; $500 ta Rebecca Richards, a sister by marriage, No Reduction Looked for. Local dealers reported today that the prospects of a reduction in the retail price of coal during the winter are most discauragin, In fact they believe that conditions rather indi- cate that it will be necessary to ad- vance the rates and before spring sets in anthracite may be sold here at $12 a ton. This price is now charged in neighboring cities although the local dealers continue to quote $10 a ton. One of the dealers said this morning that a car of coal unloaded at his vards vesterday will cost him $10.15 a ton. He has paid prices ranging from $10 to $11 delivered at the yards but figures that with the supply on hand, which he bought early in the summer at lower prices, he can make a very small profit by selling at $10. Except for an advance of ten cents a ton, which the mine owners said was necessitated by increased opera- ting expenses, the anthracite rates re- main as quoted on the circulars sent to retail dealers early in the spring. Orders filed under these terms, how- ever, do not seem to be filled, and to get thelr supply it is necessary for the dealers to pay premiums making the cost way above normal, The coal dealer reports that these are very troublesome times for him and despite the claims blaming the middlemen for the high cost of his goods, the retailer is making little or no profit and at the same time is| losing his popularity, if he ever had any, with the people whom he serves. Basketball Tonight, Because of the calling of the spe- cial town meeting for tomorrow night the Plainville Young Men’s club will have to play their weekly basketball game this evening. They will have for their opponents a quintet repre- senting the Sagamores of New Brit- ain. The local five opened their sea- son last week, defeating the Y. M. C. A. team of New Britain before a large crowd. It is expected that there will be a sizeable gathering this eve- ning. There will be a preliminary game betwen two teams picked from the juvenile division and it has been arranged to have dancing during the evening. The teams in the big game tonight will line up as follows: SAGAMORES PLAINVILLE V. Cowles Horwitz Hird Right guard. Left gu Fanian and Follen. ..

The company is made up of talent- ed musicians, both vocalists and in- strumentalists, and they have won an excellent reputation in their tour of the country. Cady Spent Nothing. Alfred D.
