The ,'New Haven" road has agreed to pay three-quarters of the expense of the work. As the result of conditions found on North street from Sexton to Beaver | street where sidewalks had been or- | dered by the board some time ago, it | was found advisable to recommend that the matter be referred to the | board. The particular lavout of land at this point is such, that a retain- | ing wall will be necessary if the | walks are laid, and the city has not sufficient money for this use at the present time. Hearings on the petitions for sprink- ling of Highland street, between Gris wold and Linwood street and Linwood | street, from Walnut Hill Park to Hart street, were ordered. The proposed changes from wooden | to iron poles by the Connecticut com- pany on the following streets Arch | i street, from Walnut to Locust street; { Ch Main to Elm Church urch street, from Elm street, from East Main street, Main to Stanley street, were looked over by the commissioners. Numerous complaints have been re- ! celved by the board for the establish- ment of a storm water sewer on Bel- den street, from a point on the street half way between Chapman and East ! street, to a point at the bridge east of Chapman street.

Kelly of London, Eng- land, the self styled ‘“king of the hoboes” proved a star attraction at this morning's session. He was charged with vagrancy and being drunk, but insisted that he was not an idle person and had come to visit this he-e-autiful city of New Britain—here the state interrupted—and that he had taken a glass, “‘of that which exhiler- ates; a mixture of life and death.” Mr. Kelly was sentenced to Jjail for thirty days on each of the two counts. Robbed Bedfellow. Harold Rahbe of Ansonia, where he was arrested vesterday for the local police, was charged with theft at this morning’s session of the local court. It was alleged that on July 9, he slept at the Bronson hotel with ‘“Tony Schultz,” the proprietor of an East Main street saloon and robbed him of $50 while he slept. Rahbe pleaded gullty and was sentenced to two months in the county Jail. urder on Blotter. The name of Mollie Miller, charged with murder, appeared on the police blotter this morning, having been ar- rested on that charge by Detective An- drew J. Richardson, but owing to the fact that she is confined at the General hospital by her illness the ‘case did not come before the court today. “Bill” Nye Retorts.

Nearest of Kin (If No Parents) City officials, from the Mayor down to the humblest man in the service, are wrough up over the action of the state statistician in placing New Brit- ain's net quota at 513 men for the selective draft. It is felt in many other quarters that this number of men to be taken away from the city is too high. Because of this feeling on the part of many citizens the Herald today starts on a ¢ampaign to deter- thine just how many men and boys have enlisted from this city. Blanks appear in today's paper, which, if properly filled out, and returned to this office, will give some manner and means of finding out how New Brit- ain stands iy, its relation to the Fed- eral Goverr ‘ent in the matter of en- listments. 3 The gross quota given for New Brit- ain’s share of enlistments in the new national army to be raised by the se- lective draft is 840. Whoever deter- mined this states that 327 men have already enlisted In the regular army or the national guard from this city. Therefore, the figures 513 must obtain as the true allotment of enlistment under the draft law. Business men here, however, feel that there is an injustice being done the ci that there have been more than 327 men enlisted here since the recruiting cam- paigns have been waged. To this end, it is pointed out that Sergeant McCabe, the regular army man who has been here for some few days, has taken away more than fifty recruits, or at least has sent their names to recruiting headquarters at Hartford.

The ranks of the strikers at the United Electric Light & Water com- pany, were further augmented yester- day, when ten helpers decided to quit work. No demands were made ot the company according to Superin-l tendent G. F. Atwater. | about ty young men from New Britain are members of the cavalry troop in Hart- ford and it is thought that the names of these men are not given as com- ing from New Britain. They are, on the other tiand, given as enlistments from the Capital City. This being so, it is the duty of New Britain to get credit for these enlistments. Nor are these the only ones. There are New Britain men serving in the machine gun platoons at Hartford. There are New Britain men with the quarter- master's department, and some at the headquarters of the National Guard in Hartford. All these men should be accounted for, and will be if the blanks in the Herald are filled out and sent into this office. Also, there are a number of young men from this town in the various training camps throughout the country, training camps that prepare men for commis- sions in the army. Plattsburg has a goodly quota from New Britain. It is to find out all these things that the Herald today starts on this cam- paign. The truth must be known. The people of New Britain® want to find 6ut just what has been done in the matter of, enlistments here. Those who have gone in the various branch- es of naval service will not be credited with the enlistments for the army; but their names should be sent in with the rest in order that this city may present its real worth to the Gover- nor of the State and the army officials at Washington. Fill out a blank now. Parents are urged to do the same for any men in any branch of the ser- vice. SLACKER HENS WILL GET THE AX “Kick In and Produce” Is Order- to Chicken Yards Hartford, July 18.—The Granges of the State‘are being called upon to as- sist in the state-wide campaign to eliminate the non-producing hens of the State. In a letter from the head- quarters of the Connecticut State Mas- ter of the Grange, Charles T. Davis, the following appeal was made: “A campaign has been launched to eliminate non-productive hens. It is stated by the Poultry Department of the Connecticut Agricultural College that there are at least half a million hens in Connecticut that have stopped producing for the season. These hens should be killed. They are consuming at least 50,000 bushels of grain per month, which is as truly wasted as though thrown away. If killed, it would stop this waste beside adding two million pounds of food to our supply. If killed, the expense of poultry keepers will be reduced and the profits correspondingly increased. “Everyone in the State may know how these unproductive hens may be selected from the layers. Every mem- ber of the Poultry Department of the | | tion demonstration a part Connecticut Agricultural College has agreed to devote his time, up to the first of October, to demonstrate how the poor layers and the non-layers may be selected. This appears to me an especially opportune time to make ' the selective demonstraticn a part of the Grange program for three rea- sons. “'First, the demonstrators are avail- able. ‘‘Second, abnormal prices of grain HARTFORD From Now Until Sept. 14th Inclusive We Close Fridays at 13.
