Felix Banulski, employed in.a New Britain factory, was assaulted while returning from work in that city last night by Blaize Rebise who has sev- al times threatened to do Banulski arm, The assault occurred about /7:40 o'clock last night on Ginger- bread Lane as the men were return- rlg from their day’s work and as Re- Ise was the' larger of the two he had FRISBIE’S | imal Fertilizers Connecticut Fars DELIVERY much the better of thé fight. It was several years ago that the family of Banulski were having a christening at their home and Rebise, in a drunken condition, knocked down the door to gain admissign. Banulski became much etiraged at this treatment and had Rebise arrested and he was af- terward fined in, the Berlin court. It was after this first arrest that Rebise threatened to some day get even with Banulski and his first opportunity oc- .{ curred last evening on their. return from work. While not severely in- jured himself, . Banulski’s bundles were scattered about the highway and he had to secure help to gather up his lost possessions. It is expected that Rebise will be in the town court Monday morning to. answer to the charge of assault. Finance Board Meeting. Members of the board; of finance met in the town clerk’s office last night and discussedthe tax rate for 1917." After a short discussion it was voted by the members to have a six- teen mill tax for the year and Town Clerk Shaw will recommend that ‘tax at the town meeting which will be held ‘on Monday night. The sixteen mill tax has been in force for the past several years and the rate seems to suit the needs of the town. Those present were Chairman Francis Dem- ing, L. A. Westcott, J. J. Fitzsimons, F.

Saturdays 9 a. m. to 12 m., 7 | e News FAVORABLE REPORT | ON TOWN PLAN BILL Legislative Committee to Endorse Building Line Measure DELEGATION KT HEARING No Opposition Develops and Commit- tec Intimates It Will Suggest Pas- sage of Bill—Local Fire Dept. Now ‘ Ready For Emergencics. 3 Indicating thelr intention of pre- senting a favorable report on the bill introduced by Representative W, J. Simpson for the creation of a com- mittee which will have authority to establish building lines and to make assessments and awards for changes in grades and street lines, the com- mittee on cities and boroughs of the .| lower branch of the general assembly gave up but a short time to hearing arguments in favor of the measure yesterday afternoon when a local delegation headed by First Seleciman W, J. Johnson appeared to give their suj rt to it. The Plainville. men wers ready to meet any opposition that might be offered’ but as there was no. objection, the committee in- vited but a few of those ‘present to speak, the members intimating that as a favorable report would be pre- sented no great amount of testimony was required. Accompanying Selectman Johnson were John H. Trumbull, representing the Business and Improvement asso- ciation of which he is president;: En-, gineer Joseph N. McKernan, A. H. Condell, C. H. Calor, Charles Newton and Town Clerk R. C. Usher. Repre- sentative Simpson was also present. ‘The measure, which was introduced at the suggestion of the selectmen, concerns the appointing of a com- mission on town plan and & bureau of assessment and award, providing a town meeting favors it. The com-. mission is to be made up of four electors, one of whomis to be the first selectman. - It will have the au- thority to make maps of various sec- tions of the town, and after public hearings record the bullding lines it establishes. In cases’' where changes in the streets are desirable the com- mission would also be empowered to make assessments for benefits and award damages. In addition it would have supervision over the laying out of.streets in property being developed. The absence of laws governing the erection of buildings in towns frequent- ly causes property owners to locate new buildings in such positions that they become a detriment to the ap- pearance of an entire street. The se- lectmen, under the’ existing conditions have no authority over building con- struction and they have to look on in silence while the beauty of a street is ravaged through selfishness of lack of appreciation of the artistic by prop- erty owners. The appointment of a commission to look after building lines is expected to meet with general approval here. The legislature will probably pass the measure authorizing its™selection and a resolution endorsing it will = un- doubtedly follow at the annual town meeting. P Cities now have guch committees, appointed der the power of their ordinances, #nd it is likely that many of the towns in the state' will take ‘pattern By Plainvillé and will file sim- ilar bills with the next general as- sembly. Local Dept. Ready. Through the initlative of Chief M. A. Norton.ahd the co-operation of lo- cal manufacturers, the 'Plainville fire department is now ready for any emergency that might necessitate their being called to other towns to assist in fighting serious fires and is also equipped to make it possible for the firemen of other ‘places to render aid in case the local company had to cope with a conflagration of great proportions in this town. Owing to the lack of unifprmity in the couplings used in the various cities of the state the hose used by the different departments is made serviceable only in their own town and co-operation in fighting a big fire could be brought about only with dif- ficulties that -would delay assistance and perhaps cause great losses. After the fires in New Britain a week ago Chief Norton devised a twin coupling which is to be used in sim- ilar emergencies. The finished article was delivered to him yesterday and at the March meeting of the Hose company held last evening he, report- ‘| ed that the manufacturers who did the work had advised him that there would be no charge for their servg ices. . The patterns were made by Calvin Avery, the castings at the E. T. Carter foundry and other work in connection with the finishing was done at the Osborne Stephenson fac- tory. Four of the special couplings are now part of the department’'s equip- ment. They can be adjusted to hy- drants in a few seconds. Through their use the Plainville department it called to render assistafice in a neigh- boring city could have five streams of water playing on a fire within a few minutes after it arrived at the scene of ‘trouble. The scheme conceived by the local chief has received the endorsement of the fire department authorities in oth- er places nearby and it is probable that New Britain, Bristol, Waterbury and Hartford, and other cities as well, will have their departments similarly equipped in the near future. ¢ Plans Are Progressing. Arrangements for, the annual fair of the local Hose company are pro- gressing satisfactorily, according to the report of the committee in charge presented ‘at last night's meeting. ‘While the date has not been definitely set it is expected that the fair Wwill be held about the middle of April and will continue for probably three nights The fair will be in the Town hall and the committee plans to invite the firemen of other -places in this vicin- ity to participate Sunday Church Notes.

In the days following the Ger- man campaign of unrestricted sub- marine warfare prominence was given | in the German press to a story en- | sibly received, from Stockholm that ! Japan was preparing to break away from her present alliance and attack ! the United States through Mexico. The: report persisted even after the receipt of declarations by the Japanese am- bassador in Washington that relations between America and Japan were ex- ceflent and that Japan's alljance to | the Entente was on firm basi That | the attack would prevent the Pnited States from participation in the war by the fear of possible complieations with Japan and Mexico thus hasten- ing the end of the war, was consider- ed a serious probability by German papers and circles of more moderate apinions. ; The publication heré of the text of the Zimmerman note and the confir- mation of its autheniticity by Presi- dent Wilson is treated as a sensation of ‘the first magnitude by the Danjsh press, exceeding anything of the kind that the war has so far produced. The Friday afternoon papers spread the despatchés from America across their first pages under three and fatr col- J umn headlines which emphasized the view that the revelation would dispel any doubt as to the position of con- gress on President Wilson’s proposal, and destroy the opposition of the pacifists, s Beharn, the foretgn political ed-’ the National Tidende, and one ‘best informed Danish author- or ‘| esraph company by way of Copenha- ities in this fleld, discussed ‘the news in 4 leader in which he declares that, although the plan at first sight seems ¢ almost fantastic, there. are: many . grounds to _believe jt correct even without the Zimmerman note to re- ' 8 move all doubt.
