The company con- templates completing the develop- ment of the property started by Dr. A. B. Johnson, who has maintained a very high standard both in the class of houses which have been erected and the people to whom he has sold building lots. The Ridgewood Realty company plans to supply a long felt need and erect a number of high class dwellings of the bungalow type. They expect to begin operatons at | once. The year 1917 bids fair to see more homes erected than any year in the history of this community. Maple Hill is beautifully situated on high land, convenient to either Hartford or New RBritain by trolley, and its na- tural advantages for.a home site are unsurpassed. 'The assurance of the Connecticut company that ten addi- tional new cars are to be placed on ‘he Hartford and New Britain line in the near future will doubtless tend to stimulate the growth of this al- ready thriving little suburb. i on Hall—Funeral of William Lewis | o ~—Bricfs.

Morrill as dea- con in place of Edward A. Freeman, who resigned after having served for @ number of years in that capacity, members of the Congregational church transacted the business of their annual meeting last evening and paved the way for the selection of a new pastor to succeed Rev. F. L. Grant. A committee was named to look after the filling of the vacancy caused by Mr, Grant’s resignation and they will send out invitations to can- didates to preach from the local pul- pit, issuing a call after thoroughly investigating the prospects. Reports of the officers showed the financial condition of the church to be exceptionally good. There is a substantial balance in the treasury and all bills are paid. The clerk's statement also showed a numerical growth during the year and testified to the satisfactory condition of the various departments. The election of officers for the year resulted as follows: Clerk—Frederick -Bullen. Treasurer—Willlam H. Wilson. Trustee for three years—Allison N. Clark. Deacon—Ralph E. Morrill. Superintendent of Sunday schools— Frederick Bullen. Assistant superintendent — Giles Cowles. \ Superintendent Intermediary partment—Miss Abbie Brooks. Superintendent Beginners ment—Miss Julia Barnes. The following were appointed on the committee to secure a pastor: Charles H. Newton, Donald Benjamin, Irank T. Usher, Charles H. Calor and Mrs. H. A, Castle. It was announced that Rev. O. W. Barker, of Hartford, who has been conducting the services since Mr. Grant left town, will occupy the pul- pit agaln next Sunday. After that date the committee will arfange for & supply. In connection with last meeting a social’ was held and re- freshments were served. It was de- clded to put over untll next week the annual sale of seats. Peck For Adm Judge Byington de- depart- night’s rator. give hearings in the probate court next Tuesday re- garding the appointment of adminis- trators to settle the estates of Syl- vester N. Ryder and his wife, both of whom succumbed to pneumonia last week. Mrs. Ryder left no will and her affairs will be settled under the direction of the court. In Mr. Ryder's will his wife is named as executrix but owing to her death it will be necessary for the court to appoint an administrator. Judge Epaphroditus Peck of Bristol, has been proposed by the heirs to serve in that capacity and he will probably be named. Frank T. Wheeler and O. W. Robertson will probably make the appraisal. While Mr. Ryder was reputed to be very wealthy at one time it is said that his estate will not show a wvalue of over $25,000 when the inventory is made. He had done little business for a number of vears and had ex- pended considerable money in horses, a number of which he kept on the old race track which bears his name. Bates Goes to Jail. Arthur Bates, a well will known char- acter, known to his associates by the sobriquet, “Whisky” was sentenced to thirty days in jail last evening by Jus- tice B. P, Prior before whom he ap- peared on an intoxication charge. Bates had been arrested during the afternoon by Constable Cornelius Downing. John Barleycorn has long been Bates' arch enemy and has been re- sponsible for his appearance in court on a number of occasions. The ac- cused failed to take advantage of the many chances given him to re- form and Justice Prior decided to try the jail treatment. Bacon In Bad Shape.
