London, June 3, 4:3¢ p. m.—The Daily Mail says that two British air- men have been landed by & destroyer nvllle News BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, J PIERCE ST. TO HAVE | GEMENT SIDEWALKS Property Owners Make Contracts for Improvements RING BELLS POR ELIGBLES i Y o dons to Aidea Tonight—Sunday in . to Install Fire Hydrants—Home on Furiough, Plerce street property owners, all whose places are on the east side of the highway and a few who have land on the west side, have agreed to join in the campaign for cement sidewalks and are pegottating with contractors for improvements in front of thelr homes or places of business. The se- lectmen are preparing to have the street surveyed for sidewalks, and work on the contracts will probably be started within the next two weeks. The entrance of the Plerce street property owners into the movement for better sidewalks is most emcour- aging to the Business and Improve- ment assoclation committees, which have been wWorking hard for the past few years in an effort to increase the mileage of cement walks in the town. Pierce street has been in wretchd shape as far as sidewalks con- cerned for a number of and ‘while it is a.thoroughfare subject to considerable traffic, very little has been doné either by the town or the individuals owning property to keep the walks in shape. All the people owning property on the east side from Broad street to the corner of West Main street’ have agreed to make the improvement . A few on the opposite side are arrang- ing to take a similar course and be- fore the end of the summer it is like- ly that the others will follow suit. Interest in sidewalk plans i more general than ever this year, a condi- tion resuiting in a large measure from the action of the town in voting part of its highway appropriation to aid property owners in paying the ex- pense of having cement walks lald. The entire appropriation has'already been subscribed for, but it is, never- .theless, understood that several will make sidewalk improvements during the summer, paying the entire cost themselves. A number of contracts have already been awarded and on nearly every street near the center wallks will be laid in front of some homes. ‘Whistles to Blow. Men eligible to military service un- der the president’s prociamation will be warned of their duty to- register next Tuesday by the blowing of the factory whistles and the ringing of the church and school bells. Select- man Johnson received notice today from the governor's office to have steps'taken for this signal to the young men of the town repeated three times during Registrattfon Day. The whistles will be blown and the bells tolled from 7 to 7:10 in the morning; 13:50 to 1 o'clock in the afternoon and from 7 to 7:10 in the evening. The co-operation of the fac- tory owners and the pastors of the various churches iin this matter is expected, and there will be plenty of noise, young men who are totally deat being the only ones who will be able' to claim ignorance of ithe significance -of the day or forgetfulness of the law that they must register. Volunteers who have ‘offered their secvices in filling out cards on Tues- day will meet with the registration board this evening in the town clerk’s office to receive their instructions. The original orders regarding the manner of registering and the ques- tions to be answered stands with but & single change of importance. While the registrars will ask the eligibles if' they make claims for exemption, an answer will not be compulsory. The matter of exemption will be one for the conscription board to decide, and only those who care to do so will de- clare themselves when they register. The pastors of all churchs in con formance with the governor's request will call the attention of their con- gregations to registration day at to- morrow's services, and will make an appeal to the young men to do their duty voluntarily, Parents will also be urged to encourage their boys to register rather than making it 4if- cult for them by unhmom sugges- tions. Instal Fire Hydrants. The New Haven road has a force of men at work installing fire hydrants on their property In the vicinity of the depot. Five hydrants are to be placed close to the freight yarda, The installation of hydrants was suggested to the company a long w.ue ago by Fire Chief M. A. Norton, who has on various occasions called atten- tion to the lack of adequaté facilities for fighting fire at the yards, where thousands of dollars and merchandise T ——— Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they canmat resch the "discased POrtion of ihe ear.
