Hills Dead——Castle W;n't Serve—Briefs. Planning to erect additions that will serve to double the present floor space in their plant and enable them their output, the Rockwell-Drake corporation has decided to create an issue of $20,000 in preferred stock, bringing their cap- itol up to $87,000. According to ar- ticles filed with the town clerk today the company will continue to operate with 2,000 shares of common stock held by the men financially interested in the concern but the-number of preferred shares will be increased from 1,500 to 1,700, the par value to remain $100. Questioned this morning regarding the company’s intentions, President Hugh M. Rockwell told a Herald man that plans have been drawn for addi- tions to the two bujldings copstruct- ed a year ago and the size of the plant will be practically doubled when they are completed. The work will be started in the spring and by mid-summer it’ is believed the ad- ditions will be ready for occupancy. ‘While its Plainville plant has been in existence but a year it has been found to be utterly inadequate for the growing needs of the company and more floor space has been required for some time. The company is en- gaged in the manufacture of ball bearings and similar products and is rushed with orders. Additional ‘help will be secured when the enlarge- ment of the buildings is completed and the output will be nearly twice 2s much as it is at present, if the concern’s plans materialize. When the property to be used as a site for the factory was purchased a year ago by A. F. Rockwell, father of the »president of the company, it was said that the men behind the venture expressed the Delief that within a decade the entire ten acres included in the tract acquired would be covered with buildings. Judging from the progress made the first vear the truth of the prediction will occasion no great surprise here. 1 Antoinette Hills Dead. Miss Antoinette W. Hills, aged for- ty-seven years, died sterday after- noon at Cromnwell Hall, a private sar tarium in Cromwell, following an ill- ness of several weeks. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence of her step-mother, Mrs. Edwin Hills of Washington street. Rev. O. W. Barker of Hartford will officiate at services which willl be conducted at the house. Interment will be in West cemetery. Miss Hills ws a daughter of the Jate Edwin Hills and was born n Plainville. She had been making her home in Farmington for a number of years. Besides her stepmother she leaves a sister, Mrs. Grace L. Diggle, and a half brother. Edwin H. Hills. Castle Won't Serve. H. A. Castle has notified members of the school board that he would have to decline election to that body io succeed Rev. R. H. Burton, who resigned recently. FEfforts have been made for some time to get Mr. Castle to accept the place, and it was hoped he could be persuaded‘to serve. Pres- sire of other duties, he states, how- ever, made it impossible for him to consider the office. \ His decision was received with con- siderable disappointment by other members of the board. It is admitted that he would make a valuable com- mitteeman and the men in charge of the town schools were anxious to have him serve with them. As Mr. Burton served on the com- mittee as a Democrat, the vacancy will be filled by a member of that party, although it is unknown at this time who will be selected. Will Work Together. Instead of appointing sub-commit- tees to look after the various details in connection with the construction of an addition to the Broad street school house, the committee named at the recent town meeting to award the contracts and supervise the work has decided to handle the problem, all the members laboring together.

Sell Land for Taxes. Building lots located in tracts de- veloped some years ago, the owners of which in some cases cannot be lo- cated, are to be sold for taxes before Spring, according to the plans of Tax Collector W. J. Hemingway. A num- ber of such lots for which taxes have never been paid are listed on the col- lector’s books, and liens have been placed on them from yvear to year. Mr. Hemingway has decided to have these accounts cleared up, and after the April collections he will sell them at auction. There are some lots in- cluded in the list, the owners of which have paid no attention to tax bills, although statements. have been sent to them annually, and it is assumed that they prefer to have the property taken from them by default rather than pay the money due to the town on them. ’ Valuable Dog Killed. A valuable looking dog of the air- dale species was run over by an au- tomobile on Whiting street this morn- jing and was so badly injured that it died within a short time. Dog War- den Marino took the animal to the pound in the hope that it might sur- vive, helng unwilling to shoot it be- cause of its apparent value. Ffforts to save its life, however, proved fu- tile. The dog wore a collar to which was attached a Thomaston license tag. The town clerk in that place will be noti- fied. Brief Items. Court General Lawton, F. of A, will hold a special meeting this eve- ning at 8 o'clock to make arrange- ments for a trip to New Britain to- morrow night when local candidates will take the initiatory degree.

Hartford, Jan. 81.—Seven thousand dollars, collected in Connecticut for the relief of the suffering women and children of Belglum, has just been for- warded by the Connecticut Commit- tee of the Commission for Relief in Belgium to the New York headquar- ters of the commission through the state treasurer, Charles C. Russ, of the Hartford Trust company. Thé money will be spent in New York for food and clothing for imme- diate shipment to representatives of the commission in Belgium. It is the concrete result of the efforts of the Connecticut committee during the new campaign which began about eight weeks ago on receipt of news that conditions in Belgium, far from being improved, were more pitiful i than ever in the face of another hard winter. In announcing the shipment of the $7,000, the committee called attention to the fact that the Conneoicut com- mittee of the Commission for Relief in Belgium is the only acredited chan- nel for the collection of funds for Bel- glan non-combatants in this state, and asked that all persons desirous of contributing to this charity send their donations, large or small, to the treas- urer, Charles C. Russ, Hartford Trust company, Hartford, in order that Con« necticut may get full credit for the generosity of its citizens. The committee acknowledge thanks the following from New Britain. Martha A.
