Outside of a few cuts on his chin, the driver, who stayed with the truck, was not injured' and was able to help straighten out the mixup. For a few minutes it appeared as if the fate of one of the horses was sealed for the overturning wagon carried the animal completely over and how it escaped serious ifijury is a mystery.

The loaded wagon had the roadside. traveling trayeled less than fifty feet before it skidded and only the nearness of a telephone pole stopped it from turn- ing ‘completely over. The contents, consisting of, laundry equipment and no one knows how much soft soap, were thrown all over the street and persons rushing to the assistance of the driver had to watch their step or Bronchitis And Other Throat and supply of soft soap on the road and if some unsuspecting person stepped in it before the day was over it would mean their sudden downfall. The ‘angle and slant of Galpin’s hill makes it a rather difficult place to negotiate even in the best weather. This winter’s sleet storms have caused several automobiles to pile up in the ditch. Since the new concrete road has been put in on Worthington ridge the corner has not been in the best of shape and has caused no little comment from those that are in the habit of using the hill. Bristol Examined. William Bristol, who was arrested on Sunday for beating his wife, was sent to the New Britain police sta- tion for. the night by the town court which met at 5 o'clock yesterday afterncon. At the court session Judge George Griswold appointed Dr. R. M. Griswold to examiné the man as his sanity is in doubt. As Dr. Griswold had committed the man to the insane asylum before and did not wish peo- ple to think that he was prejudiced he asked the courts permission to call in another physician in consulta- tion and was so authorized. Dr. Griswold called in Dr. H. A. Elcock of New Britain and their testimony was presented at the court. Prosperity Continues. That the Prentice company, whose main factory is on the Beach Swamp road, Kensington, is still enjoying a period of prosperity is evident from the fact that they have renewed the lease on their branch factory on North street, New Britain. The branch is located in a building owned by P. 8.

Formal presentation of the legisla- tive bill giving the town control of the lay-out of new streets and the estab- lishment of a building line will be made to the cities and boroughs com- mittee of the house tomorrow by Rep- resentative W. J. Simpson, & copy of the measure having been received to- day by First Selectman Johnson. The bill was drawn up yesterday by Judge B. F. Gaffney of New Britain as town counsel at the selectman’s suggestion and it will be turned over to the legis- lators at tomorrow’s session. An early hearing on the measure is expected and tomorrow the local rep- resentative expects the committee will set a date on which people interested in the bill may be heard. The bill was originally introduced a | few weeks ago to get it listed before the time limit for new business. At the time the selectmen were able fo give but a Tough outline of their pro- posal and the complete draft was ordered from Judge Gaffney. Local opposition is not expected when the bill is taken up for con- wideration and the selectmen and ather citizens interested in the plan are hopeful of favorable action. The need of building lines has for vears been apparent and the Intro- duction of a bill such as Representa- tive Simpson is to present tomorrow has often been suggested. Under the existing conditions property owners are permitted to place buildings on any part of their land and as a result there is no uniformity about the man- ner in which dwellings are erected. Some of the streets are made unat- tractive owing to the absence of any rule regarding the construction of buildings, an uneven line of dwel- lings and stores serving to make them unsightly. The bill drawn up by the selectmen will not remedy con- ditions as far as buildings already constructed are concerned but it will be of value in the future and the officials will make a strong plea to the legislative committee to report favor- ably on {t. Several vears ago land developers were active here and a number of tracts were cut into bullding lots. But little attention was paid to the streets at the time and as a consequence some of the highways in the developed ter- ritory are less than forty feet wide. To prevent a recurrence of actions of this character the selectmen in- cluded in the bill a clause which will give them control of street layouts. The measure has the endorsement of many citizens of prominence and it is expected that a formidable delega- tion will appear before the commit- tee to urge its passage. Grangers to OCelebrate.

Property owners not satisfled with the report of the assessors on the grand list of 1916 will have a final opportunity to register a formal pro- test tomorrow when the board of re- lief will hold its final meeting for the purpose of hearing appeals from the taxpayers. The board will be in session in the town clerk’s office. Comparatively few complaints have been filed with the board to date and it is not believed that there will be many additional protests received at the final session. The fallure of taxpavers, with few exceptions, to ask for relief indicates that they are satisfled that the as- sessors have used good judgment in placing a valuation on local proper- ties. The board did its work In thorough fashion and made a num- ber of increases to make the assess- ments more equitable, a substantial ralse in the grand llist total resulting. The relief board is not expected to disturb the work of the assessors to any great extent and the total will be changed when thelr report is filed.
