The man came from somewhere beyond Hartford and, according to, his story, he went to sleep and failéd to wakae. up ir time to get off at his station. W®en the conductor tried to collect his fare after the train left Hartford he would not pay it, claiming that he should have been notified wsen the train reached Hartford. He was re- moved at Berlin with the intention of ordering his arrest but before this occurred he decided to pay and was released upon payment of the fara between Hartford and Berlin. The trainmen consider that it was merely an accident and that the man did not in any way try to cheat the companj out of a trip. Affirmative Wins Debate. Despite the inclement weather o1 last night there was a fine attendance | at the Men’s Lyceum debate which was held in the chapel of the Ken- sington Congregational church. Tha | debatable question was: Resolved: “That a system of profit sharing, by which employes should share the profits of their industry, ought to be in general use.” The decision of the judges and the popular decision of ! the audience awarded the debate to the affirmative side composed of G. F. Lewis and E. P. Moore. According to the judges the affirmative should be awarded two points, one on the weight of argument and the other on the matter ‘of delivery, while the evi- dent preparation was evenly divided. The judges were George B. Carter, Harry Taylor and A. L. Moffitt. Fol~ lowing the regular meeting there was an informal discussion on the pro vi n before the legislature to allow Rev. and Mrs. H.

According to a decision recently reached by the storekeepers of Ken- sington there will be a uniform clos- ing hour in the future. During the past the stores were kept open until all hours and on two nights a week but with the new agreement all places of business will close every night at 6:30 o’clock with the exception of Saturday. This ruling applies only to grocery stores and meat markets and not to the numerous fruit and. candy stores in town. There has been a movement on foot for several vears in regard to uniform closing by the various stores but nothing has ibeen done in regard to the matter until this last month when the de- | cison was reached. The new order ! will have its start on March 1 and on that night all the stores which have reached the agreement will close promptly at 6:30 o’clock. Birthday Party. About thirty of the friends of Wes- Jey Dickinson gathered at his home last night in honor of the 19th anni- versary of his birth.

Urging the townspeople, those in opposition as well as those who view it in a favorable light, to attend the hearing to be given before the legis- lative committee on cities and bor- oughs in the state capitol Friday af- ternoon at 2 o'clock, First Selectman W. J. Johnson today made public the bill introduced in the general assem- bly authorizing Plainvill} to appoint a commission on town plan, said body to have the right to establish build- ing lines and to have authority over | the laying out of new streets when | the development of property is in Progress. 3 The measure, which was presented by Representative W. J. Simpson, was drawn up by Judge B. F. Gaff- ney of New Britain at the direction of the selectman. It is divided into fourteen sections and covers the sit- uation thoroughly, specifying in" de- tail the powers of the commission and the manner in which it shall perform its duties. Operation of the bill is subject to referendum, as it shall not become effective until approved by a town meeting. Under its terms a commision on town plan and hureau of assessment and award shall be raised, the first selectman and three electors consti- tuting the board. The appointment of the members will be left to the selectmen, each to serve for a period of three years without compensation. The duties of the commission shall be to have surveys and maps made of the town, section by sectlon, filing the same in the town clerk's office and notifying property owners con- cerned not less than two weeks before the hearing is held regarding their acceptance. Property owners are given the right to appeal to the court off common pleas should they be dis- satisfled with the action of the com- mission. The selectmen are forbidden to ppr= mit the erection of a building unles: its location conforms to the lines es- tablished by the commission. Neither can they accept a street unless its layout is in accord with the map pre- pared at the direction of the commis- sion. A forfeiture of $100 a month s provided in cases where buildings | the owner continuing to pay at that| rate until the structure is torn down or placed in a proper location. After the commission has approved the layout of any street, the select- men shall establish a grade, and the commission shall estimate and assess benefits and damages on abutting property owners. When the assessments and awards have been completed by the select- men, the selectmen are authorized to complete the work on the highways in question. Assessments in excess of awards, under the provisions of the bill, are to remain a lien upon the land in question. Assessments are to carry interest from the day they are made payable at the rate of one-half of one per cent per month. ‘While there may be opposition to some technical features of the meas- ure, the bill on the whole appears to have the approval of the townspeo- ple and it is expected that a represen- tative number will be present at the hearing to urge a favorable report to the House. Its passage is expected. Plainville’'s attractiveness has suf- fered considerably because of the action of certain property owners. in erecting buildings too close to the highway, the lack of building lines tving the hands of the selectmen when there appeared to be reasons for objecting. Then, too, streets less than forty feet wide have been laid . AT ONCE!

Byington in the probate court yester< day afternoon restored to. Frank Caf- ferty part of hjs estate, although re- Jecting his application for the removal of his conservator. Since his release from the State Farm for Tnebriates a few months ago Cafferty has deported himself in ex- emplary fashion. He is working steadily and is temperate in his habits, He petitioned the court to restore his estate to him a hearing was given on his application yesterday after- noon. George S. Babcock, who been serving as his conservator, pre- sented his resignation but its accept- ance was held up until his account- ing is approved. . That Cafferty might be given en- couragement Judge Byington ordered that he be given control of the house which he owns and permitted to col- lect the rents. Should, he continue to behave himself the court proposes to restore the halance of his estate to him, removing his conservator. Thanks For Firemen. Chief M. A. Norton has received a letter from Mavor George A. Quig- ley of New Britain in which thanks is extended to the local fire department for the assistance it rendered at the fires in the neighboring city last Wednesday. Twenty members of the local de- partment reported last night for the weekly practice ordered by the chief. The company is increasing its effi- ciency to a considerable extent at the result of the drills and their weekly sesslons will be continued indefinitely. Members of the board of fire com- missioners today authorized Chief Norton to make some improvements in the fire alarm system.. The battery cells now in use in connection with the system are weak and deteriorate quickly, the alarm getting out of or- der unless they are attended to fre- quently. New batteries of a different type will be installed and other changes will. be ‘'made to modernize the system. . s 800 Blanks Collected. Selectman Johnson this morning forwarded to the war census bureau in Hartford another hatch of blanks containing information regarding men in Plainville whose services miglt. be needed in case of trouble swith other powers. The local enumerators have to date collected eight hundred blanks. It is believed that the number required to complete the local census will not be in excess of 1,000 and the selectmen hope to get the balance during the current week. 2 Dog Kills Rabbits. Gaining entrance to 3 coop in which | rabbits owned by Stephen Colapenti of Broad strect wcre confined, a strange dog, belieyed to be infected with rabies, killed thirteen of the lit- tle animals last night and this morn- ing roamed about the enclosure like a wild beast, defying Officer Marino and others who attempted to drive it | away, and making it necessary for ghe ' policeman to shoot it. | When Colapenti went to the coop this morning to feed the rabbits, he | found the dog in possession of the place and the mangled forms of his numerous victims strewn about the floor. Efforts to drive out the dog proved unavaililng, the snarls of the | aninal keeping the owner of the place at a safe distance. Constable Marino | had to shoot it before entrance to the enclosure could be effected. The head of the dog may be sent away for examination, as it is feared it may have been affected with rabies.
