CONPLAINT Berlin Residents Indignant ,Sewage Conditions Near Railroad | DR. GRISWOLD EXPLAINS jMrs. Deane to Open Canning School IF in Hartford—Local Housewives In- B vited to Attend—Trolley Catches lb Fire—Church News For Week. “Are the health officer or the town pfficlals ever going to take any action Rowards eliminating the stagnant pools of water which form every day lumder the railroad bridge?” This is the question which is uppermost in the minds of every Kensington resi- dent who has come in contyct with the disgusting odor which arises from the pools. Possibly, the authorities mmay be excepted. No steps have been taken to curtail the flow of drainage, or stale beer, whatever it may be, coming from winks in nearby hotels or houses, or other receptacles. The sewage comes from somewhere, that is known. But Wwhere, is the question that citizens think the health officer should ascer- tain and discharge the duties of his jcffice accordingly. One resident said this morning that health officers might not know of the yatter and that it would be advisable to notify him of conditions through the columns of the press. As the same conditions have prevailed for several weeks it seems impossible that he phould not have heard of it. However, a5 the case may be, no action has been taken. According to reports. one of the | Rown officials some time ago, thinking thdt the railroad company was to blame for the pools of stagnant water ¥Yorming, advised the station agent that if he did not write to the rall- roads advising them of the conditions and they in turn did not have the jpuatter remedied ,court proceedings | mould be taken. The railroad com- plied with the demands. Still condi- | tiohs remained the same and the mat- | Ber was apparently dropped. The odor is certainly not a pleasant | pne and can be detected at a great ! gdistance. Unfavorable comment can | be heard nearly every day by trolley | passengers who have to pass under the bridge. It is a fine advertisement pspecially for the strangers who come | Kensington last evening about 7:30 & | trolley car belonging to the Connecti- | blaze. to this town to take the train enroute for other places. To state the other side of the case and enlighten the public, the following statements were made by Dr. Gris- wold, health officer of the town, to a yeporter this morning: “‘People of the town believe that T ‘pave been negligent in parforminz my duties reiative to sewage conditions under the railroad bridge. 1 wish to state that I have taken every sction within my jurisdiction to make improvemerts. Because of some legal matters in the case I have only par- tially succeeded. The matter now rests in the hands of the county health officer and has for the past four However, | weeks. About a month ago he w-&s! here and went over the matter with me and stated that condittons would he bettered as soon as possible. At present h> is trying to clear up an entanglement wherein several of the residents near the scene of the com- vlaint have a2 right to use the public sewer. In my opinion, the sewer is clogged up, thus causing an overfiow.” According to the health officer’'s statements, the citizens must await the pleasure .of the county health officer, who will probably notify Dr. Griswold to take some action in the near future. The cfficials of the town can take no | actign until the word is given. Church News. Berlin Congregational—Red Cross meetings will be held Tuesday and Wednesday.

WIFE TELLS OF HUSBAND'S ABUSE Gourt for Wile-Beating MISS FARRAR RETURNS HOME Court Lenient With Accused on Ac- count of Family. Victim of Murder- ous Assault Leaves Hospital—Day- Stagis Wedding. Badly bruised and extreme nervousness, Mrs. Charles Hornburger appeared in court this morning to testify against her husband who was arraigned befare Justice E. P. Prior on the charges of assault and intoxication, the result of a distur- bance created at his home yesterday. When intoxicated Hornburger's chief delight appears to be using his wife as a sparring partner and testimony pre- sented in court today indicates that she is made to suffer considerably while he is exercising. Yesterday his treatment of her was so cruel that she complained to the police and Constables Marino and An- derson took the fighting husband into custody. The accused was in a peni- tent mood this morning. He was in- clined to blame drink for his actions and told the court that ordinarily he is as harmless as a kitten. Although he has been before the court on previous occasions for simi- lar conduct, the court did not impose the full penalty because he is of some aldein supporting his family. Justice Prior sentenced him to jail for sixty days and fined him $10 and costs, stuspending the Jail penalty and placing the accused on probatian. John Mann of Bristol, came to Plainville yesterday, and while in a drunken condition was picked up on the streets by Consttable Marino. He was fined $5 and costs this morning. Maun didn't mind being arrested but he expressed a wish to keep informa- suffering from his wife and he explained to the court thut he was at a loss for a satisfactory story to tell her regarding his absence froru home. Miss Farrar Home. Miss Margaret Farrar of North Washington street, returned home yes- tevd from St. Francis' hospital, where she had been a patient since she was murderously attacked by Jamos French several weeks ago.

Work Too Hard. In explaining his recent resignation as superintendent of highway con- struction work for the town, Henry Orvis stated today that the trouble was the result of Selectman Johnson's insistence on him doing the work of a laborer in addition to supervising re- pairs and improvements. Mr. Crvis has been In charge of the road work in Plainville for a num- her of years and has supervised the building of most of the town's ma- cadam treets. He claims that he noti- fled the selectman he would not shovel crushed stone himself, as he did not believe he should serve in the dual role of foreman and laborer. his res- ignation resulting. Raise Money for Boy Scouts. Members of the Business and Im- provement association today began a week’s campaign for contributions to a fund to be raised by popular sub- scription for the Plainville company of the Boy Scouts. The local troop, which was but recently organized, is uniformed. but is without equipment for camping out and training. The business men hope to raise about $100 to be used In buying necessities for the youngsters. Subscription lists have been sent to all manufacturers and the merchants will be approached for contributions by the members of the troop. The Scouts will also make a canvass of various streets to give the townspeo- ple an opportunity to lend their aid to the cause. . Postmaster P. J. Prior and C. Rus- sell Sherman have been authorized to receive subscriptions from any who wish to donate and who have not already arranged to contribute through other agencics.

Disputes Bristol Victory. Rather than be accused of un- sportsmanship, the Foresters baseball team yesterday bowed to the demands of the Bristol Brass nine for the play- ing of an extra inning, although the scorekeeper’'s records showed that nine innings had been plaved. As a result the visitors scored three addi- tional runs in the weird extra inning and claimed the game by a score of 7 to 5. At the end of the ninth in- ning the score was flve to four in Plainville’s favor. The Bristol boys, however, claimed that only eight in- nings had been plaved and they in- sisted on going to bat again. After an argument, the Plainville players gave in, the aforementioned finish resulting. Brief Items. Miss Rosalind Birnbaum of Broad street has returned from New York where she spent her vacation.
