Mr. Whittlesey sald that _he had consulted the state’s attorfiey general on the rights of a dog war- !den in trespassing on property to seize dogs which were untied and he learned that he was acting within his ¢ jurisdiction. | Owing to the recent dog scare in Connecticut, special enactments were necessary to cope with the situation. A dog warden has a right to enter on any man’s property and seize his dogs if they arc running loose. According to the edict recently madoe by the | state commissioner, all dogs must be tied to the premises or be confined in an enclosure.

Said to Have Acquired Cook Street Property NOTHING OFFICIAL AS - YET Meeting Ténight at the Town Hall to Form Liberty Chorus for Plainville —Food Campaign Proves to Be a Success—Bricfs. Although the rumors cannot be verified reports are current that the Rockwell-Drake division of the Mar- lin Arms corporation has purchased the S. N. Ryder property, on Cook street. As yet no deed has been filed at the town clerK's office a procedure which . must be obtained if the re- ports are authentic. It is known that officials of the company have for some time con- sidered the advisability of mfl.lEing this purchase but whether the property .has been taken over by the Marlin corporation seems at the present to be a matter of conjecture. The Ryder estate, formerly be- longing to the late S. N. Ryder, is located within a fifteen minute walk from the local factory and consists of a number of acres of land and a large dwelling house. The house which contains in the neighborhood of thirty rooms will probably be used as a boarding and rooming establish- ment for employes of the factory if the purchase has been made. ‘With the building of the additions to the local branch of the Marlin Arms corporation company which triples the size of the Plainville con- cern and will necessitate the employ- ment of a larger number of men the old question of providing these men with proper living facilities arises. For this reason. it is sald, officials contemplated taking over the Ryder property iR order to insure adequate provision for a number of the men employed at the factory. The three additions which- the com- pany is builldingare now in the stages of completion and with an augmented force of workmen the construction seems to be ‘running smoothly. Plans are also in the works to build & new amiesite Toad and concrete walks in front of the factory. Work on the surface sewer~will be started soon, the cost of building to be defrayed partidlly by the town and partially by the Trumbull Electric company and the Marlin Arms corporation. It is expected that workmen from the lat- ter factory will have charge of the work. At the last special town meet- ing an appropriation was made to- wards the cost of the construction additional costs, if there are any 1 have to be borne by the two aforcmentioned concerns. A fire sprinkling system is now bhe- ing installed at the Rockwell-Drake factory and the 8 inch main which is now being laid will connect with the 12 inch main which: goes direct to the pumping house. A fine sprinkling system has also been installed at the new Edwin H. Hills factory which is nearly com- pleted. . .To Form Liberty Chorus. To build up the spirit of patriotism and to arouse the “Will to win"” the war, all who like to sing are invited to attend a meeting at the town hall tonight at which time a Liberty chorus_for Plainville will be formed. The meeting will be called to order at 8 o'clock. Members of the Plainville Liberty chorus committee have explained that in order to belong to the chorus a person does not necessarily have to be a trained singer. There will be no voice trials or dues in connection with the project. All those who like to sing are urged to come and enjoy themselves. State Director Stevens of Hartford will be present and give a talk at the meeting. Mr. Stevens is in direct charge of the Liberty chorus work throughout the state and will help in the organization of the local chorus. At tonight's meeting a committee will probably be appointed to name a capable leader to have charge of the work in this town. Rev. E. C. Gil- lette, pastor of the Congregatianal church, who has been definitely identt= fied with work of this sort prior. to his advent to Plainville, has been sug- gested as the logical man to lead the local chorus. People of the town seem enthusias- tic over the prospects or having such an organization and a large atten- dance is looked Yor this evening. Campaign is a Success. 3 The Hoover pledge card campaign carried on by Chairman Mrs. A. D. Cady and her aides and which was brought to a close ' Saturday night proved to be a great success. Each of the 607, pledge cards, which was the town's allotment, was sighed and have been turned in. The campaign was waged only a few days but in that time the com- mittee appointed by the chairman worked industriously and whole- heartedly among the people of the town. A house to hous canvass was carried on and practically every housewife in the community was inter- viewed. Only one or two rebuffs were met with. Nearly all seemed to real- ize the importance which the con- servation of food must play during the war. As a result the campaign was brought to a successful finish Satur- day evening. A few more cards may be dis- tributed this week in order to give those who were not interviewed when the house to house canvass was made a chance to sign the peldge cards. The success of the campaign must be attributed to the women of the town and Mrs. A. D. Cady wishes to thank all those who served as members Ah!

Committee Meets, A meeting of the Liberty loan com- mittee of the town was held last even- ing in the town hall. The purpose of the meeting was to keep the organi- zation intact as a sort of prepared- ness measure for the third Liberty loan . issue which is expected to be forthcoming shortly. Reparts of the results which obtained from the sec- ond Liberty loan were also read. A. A. MacLeod, treasurer of the Plainville Trust company ha# an- nounced that persons holding threée and one-half per cent. interest bonds of the first issue may transfer them at the bank for four per cent. bonds of the second issue. Interest will be adjusted on November 15. As inter- est on the first Liberty Loan bonds will be adjusted to four per cent..De- cember 15 in case the bonds are not transferred Mr. MacLeod thinks it is advisable that those who have bonds of the old issue transfer them for bonds of the second loan, Briefs.
