It Plajnville News RAP WATER C0. FOR BEVERAGE SERVED Hecklers at Town Meeting Fear Water May Cause Sickness WANT INVESTIGATION MADE Resolution Not In Order at Meeting and No Action Is Taken—Purchase of Voting Machines Ordered— Prior-McKeon Nuptials, Attempts to bring about an investi- gation to determine the purity of the water furnished to the patrons of the Plainville Water company were un- expectedly and unsuccessfully made at the special town meeting held last evening, the men behind the scheme failing in their efforts principally be- cause of the fact that the call for the sessian contained nothing which permit of formal consideration of it. They succeeded, however, in securing a discussion of the matter and in the parlance of the streets did their best to put the company ‘“on the pan.” The issue failed to develop anything fur- ther than a discussion and was allow- ed to drop after a number had given vent to their feelings, the chairman declaring that the session had no au- thority to take any action. The matter was brought to the at- had authorized the purchase of the two voting machines used at the last election, S. S. Gwillim, who served as chairman, reading a resolution to the effect that the selectmen and board of health get together to make certain that the odor and unpleasant taste as- sociated with the water furnished when the pumping plant at Mountain View is not in operation are not indi- cative of impurities which might be dangeraus to the welfare of the com- munity. Chairman Gwillim explained that the meeting could take no action on the resolution as its consideration was not in order, but he did not think any harm could come from informally discussing the question, b Illness which has recently develop- ed in two or three families in town which has been charaéterized as ty- phoid fever by some physiclans evi- dently was responsible for the intro- duction of the resolution, its sponsors seemingly believing that the water se- cured from the reservoir since the use of the pumps was discontinued may have been responsible. Others who did nat believe that the reservoir wa- ter is impure thought it possible that people refusing to use it because of its nauseating flavor started to get their supply from wells which were in dan- ger of contamination. Charles H. Calor, president of the water company, came to the defense of the corparation. He declared he and his associates would welcome an investigation. He claimed that while the reservoir water may have an un- pleasant odor or taste, analysis made weekly by chemists prove it to be pure. He declared that the water company is not anxious to cause an epidemie of typhald and its officers would not permit of the serving of water that is not pure, Since the recent complaints about the water the company shut off the reservoir supply and again started to draw on its wells. Tt is the intention, however, to discontinué this service as soon as cold weather sets in. During the discussian doubt was ex- pressed as to whether there are cases of typhold herc. Selectman Johnson had heard of them but was unable to locate any. Others thought that fears that have been entertained of an epi- demic were unnecessary while men seeking an investigation of the com- pany's “stock in trade” seemed sure that the disease is here, By a vote af 20 to 11 the meeting passed a resolution appropriating $1,- 250 for the purchase of the two vot- ing machines rented for use onelec- tion day from the Automatic Register company of Jamestown, N. Y. The apparatus had been brought here sim- ply as an experiment and the majarity of those present at last night's session registered the belief that the trial had proved their value, Peter J. Prior, John E. Lamb and John Larson were in the front rank of the forces favoring the purchase of the machines, while Joseph T. Mc- Carthy was leader for the opposition. Mr. McCarthy maintained that the machines are mechanically imperfect GREAT REJOICING BY RHEUMATIC CRIPPLES If So Crippled You Can’t Use Arms or Legs Rheuma Will Help You or Nothing to Pay.

He read extracts from various newspapers to show that the machines had been found out of order in a number of places and that some votes had not been counted. A. H. Condell was not enthusiastic over the idea because of the expense involved. Some of the others objected for the same.reason. After the matter was generally dis- cussed a vote by ballot was ordered, the chair appointing Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Lamb as tellers. The reso- lution was then carrled as above noted. The town has to pay $600 for each machine, the $150 sent to the com- pany for the use of the apparatus on election day applying on the bill. The additional $50 which was appropriat- ed last night is to pay for the expense of transportation and installation. State Prepares Cases. Constable Philip Marino went to Hartford today to give information to State's Attorney Alcorn regarding the cases of Joseph Salerno, who was bound over from here on a charge of murder In the first degree, and Charles “Kimme” Kingsbury, await- ing trial as & common drunkard. Mr. Alcorn has not announced what steps he will take in Salerno’s case, al- though the belief is held by many that the prisoner may be declared insane. Officer Marino claims that he has no information regarding the case other than the statement made by Salerno in which he admitted having slain his wife. An attempt will be made to Kingsbury committed to the state farm for inebriates. Kingsbury has divided his time during the past few years between the town home and jail and the authorities here belleve he would be better off at the farm. Prior—)cKeon Nuptials. The wedding of George T. Prior, formerly of this place, and Miss Del- la A. McKeon of Hartford, was sol- emnized yesterday morning in St. Jo- seph’s Cathedral in that eity. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. Clement Martin who also celebrated the nuptial high mass which followed. Miss Helen T. Jacobs was maid of honor and Edward O’Brien acted as best man. The couple have many friends in Plainville. Mr. Prior is a son of Thomas G. Prior of South Washington street. His bride is a graduate of St. Francls Hospital Training school for nurses and is well known here. ‘Withholds Permit. The board of selectmen held a spe- cial meeting last night to consider the anplication of the Southern New Eng- land Telephone company for permis- slon to have telephone wires radiating from the exchange put underground on West Main street and Central Square. Some features of the peti- tion were not quite clear to members of the board and it was decided to hold up action until more information was secured. Representatives of the company will be asked to meet with the board to explain its wishes and if the change will not do any damage to the high- ways it will probably be authorized. | Brief Items. | The Grange will have a regular meeting tonight in its hall on Plerce street.
