MASONS New Britain Minister to Give Lec- ture at Lodge Meeting FOUGHT WITH CONSTABLE Trederick Lodge to Have Annual Elec- tion This Evening—Unruly Prisoner Fined in Court—Mill Foreman Ex- plains Position—Other Matters. Plainville masons are anticipating interesting session of Fred- erick lodge, A. K. and A. M., to be held this evening in Masonic temple. Matters of importance, including the annual reports and the election of of- | ficers for the ensuing year, will come before the session. The election is expected to result in the promotion to the worshipful master's chair of Edwin H. Hills. Mr. Hills has filled the duties of the place since the removal from town of George R. Hebden, who was worship- ful master for the past year. The committee in charge of the en- [ teriainment to be given in connection with the meeting has arranged to | ferve a supper during the evening. ! Rev. Warren F. Cook of New Britain, | has acepted an invitation to deliver | address on matters pertaining to masonr most an ‘ought With Officer. m has written to the Herald ex- plglns his side of the incident.

To Have Open House. Court General Lawton, F. of A, at 1ts meeting last evening voted to have the formal opendng of their social quarters in the Grange building take place on Friday, December 23. On the evening of that day the members will entertain their friends and will give an opportunity to the people of the town to inspect their club rooms. There will be a drawing for tur- keyas for Christmes in connection with the formal opening of the rooms. The Foresters last night had as their guests representatives of the Southdngton court who came here to seek the co-operation of the local or- ganization in connection with the fair to be held in the neighboring borough in February. The committee in charge plans to have a Plainville night and members from this place will furnish the entertainment. The visitors received assurance that the local court will be of whatever as- sistance possible. The social club connected with the organization decided to postpone its election of officers until Thursday night when a special meeting will be held. To Form Town Team. Basketball devotees interested in the Plainville Young Men’s club are ) making arrangements to organize a | local team to play during the winter. The quintet representing the club is made up largely of boys and it is the | intention to form a team that will be able to compete with fast players from other places. Hearry Bonney, who re- cently resigned as instructor of the gymnastio classes of the cteb and who coached the basketball team is taking a prominent part in the efforts to form the Plainville quintet. Thursday night's game will be be- tween the Dimon All-Stars of New Britain and the olub team. It is ex- pected to be a fast and spirited con- | test. Still After Water Oo. While efidence gathered by me‘ health officer sinoe the outbresk of | the typhaid epidemtoc has tended to ! discourage the bellef, entertained by | some of the restdents, that the disease | had 1ts source in the reservoir water, men baok of the effort made at a re- cent town meeting to have the select- | man investigate the supply are con- tinuing their agitation and declare themselves to be disappointed at what they term the slowness of the officials to get results. They 4o not explain exaotly what they want but they seem to hold to the opinfon something should be done to show definitely that the germ is not traceable to the reser- votr. Health Officer Bull is certainly earning his "munificent” salary of $40 & vear in his efforts to perform the duties entrusted to him besides giving | consideration to hundreds of sugfies-! tions emanating from varous sources | and at the scores of reports, which are invariably without any foundation, The action of the recent town meet- ing had not legal standing was but an expression of sentiment by those present. However, the select- man and health officer are appagently doing what they can to carry out the suggestions and thelr supporters be- lieve that a little patiemce should be shown by the townspeaple. Tt is generally admitted that even though the analysis of the water show it to be free from digease germs and | containing no impurities which might end@anger the health of the company’s patrons, something should be done to imporve the supply during the sum- mer months. Vegetable growths in the bottom of the reservoir make the water anything but palatable during the warm weather.
