Miss ¢ Dennis: Negri Asked High For Sugar, It Is Said FOOD COMMISSIONER T0 ACT Baid to Have Taken Advantage of (Suwmrp;-mked 14 Cents Per Pound—Late Mrs. Hart Remembers Congregational Societies in Will. Asserting that the sale of sugar by Dennis Negri of Farrhington Road, Kensington, for 14 cents'a pound re- tail, was ‘‘unreasonable and unlawful and will be investigated” the office of the food commission .at Hartford said today, it is possible that within the , ¥ next few days the local man will be prosecuted. It was learned this morn- Ing that Mr. Negri, who conducts a grocery store, had secured a ship- ment of sugar. A number of resi- dents desirious of securing some of the sweetening, although protesting against what they cons'dered an exor- bitant Price, purchased a pound. Be fore leaving the store, however, it is said, that a num coxpressed their opinion of Mr. Negri. saying that ho was taking advantoge of them. It was stated, at the federal food commissioner’s office in Fartford this morning that no standa~d price for sugar had been set. The commission has been attempting to fix the price . of sugar and has come to the con- clusion that no retailer should charge more than 11 cents for a pound. The food commission. has received numer- ous complaints within the past few weeks from residents about the state complaining that they were the vi tims of high price: The food cor mission, it was learned this morning, js to conduct a rigid investigation into every complaint and prosecutions will be made where the casc war- rants.

Through the efforts of Representa- tive Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, a rural delivery mail service will be | established in Kensington. At present the only delivery made here is the rural free delivery. Residents of Kensington arc obliged to call at the post office to secure their mail. As the district has _grown considerably during the past f6W years an effort has been made to have a carrler deliver the mail. The attention of Mr. "Loner- gan was called to the need of a carrier and he has since been working to se- cure a better mail service here. The post office department has promised Mr. Lonergan to establish village mall delivery rot only in Kensington but in Farmington, Forestville, Plantsville, | Simsbury, Suffield, Collinsville and Unionville. Mr. Lonergan has also | been instrumental in arranging with | “the postoffice department to have & govermment motor trunk line estab- lished between Hartford and New ! York to carry mail. Col.

No inkling of what will be done | | toward construction of a new build- | {ing or the rebuilding on the ruins of ! the old town hall which was gutted | 'by fire yesterday, could be gleaned i from the first selectman or other | | officers of the town this morning. It ! seemed to be the consenSus today that { 1t would be impracticable, and impos- | sible to rebuild on the ruins of the i old structure and that a more up-to- date and modern building should be | erected to house the town officers. It is also expected that whether the ‘old town hall is rebuilt or a new | Structure erected it will not be used | @8 a fire station, library, jail, a' place -ifor the town officers, a public dance | hall, a place for the military com- ; banies to drill, and subjected to gen- eral utility uses. For the past few years the public library has been located in the town ;hall. Some one jocularly remarked | this morning that the town hall was | the last place in the world where a person would go to look for a public library. There is a fund being slow- ly raised for the erection of a pub- lic reading place which will provide . ‘modern conveniences. Donations to ‘ this fund are not being received at | any rapid rate and the construction of a public library from this fund seems at present to be something to look tforward to. The inadvisability of having the | fire apparatus in the basement of the town hall was plainly visible yester- day. A new and separate building to serve as a flre station has been sug- gested and it is thought the public | at large would welcome the sight of | something better than the town hall basement to serve as a jail. | of Home Guardsmen there was little activity at the town hall this morn- ing. Certain members of the military unit kept a strict vigil last night. This morning at the suggestion of First Selectman Johnson they were directing their efforts towards the re- moval of the selectmen’s safe from the building. Gets Jail Sentence. Record of the forfeiture of the bond in the case of George Matthew: | colored, entered on Tuesday, was | erased yesterday in the Superior court | i when Matthews appeared and pleaded | guilty to a complaint which charged | with obtaining $63.43 from the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company under false pretenses. Matithews was bound over to the De- cember term of the Superior cours from the local court under bonds of $5,000. For several years Matthews was employed as timekeeper of a commis- sary department conducted at the | Plainville transfer station and al- | though he was charged with obtaining only $63.43 the state's attorney said | that he had defrauded the “New Ha- ven” road out of more than $2,000. Officials of the railroad had confi- dence in Matthews. When Charles S. Mellen was president of the road, | Matthews went with Mellen in the latter's private corps. | The charge of obtaining money from the payroll was the only charge brought against Matthews yesterday and he was sentenced to three months in jail. : Frank Cafferty, pleading gullty to | the charge of being a common drunk- ‘ard.,was also arraigned in the Su- | perior court yesterday. Owing to the | fact that he has been on his gzood behavior for the past several months and that Plainville is now listed in the prohibition column the sentence | of six months at the state farm was | suspended. Execution of the penalty | will not be enforced as long as Caf- ferty discontinues hig flirtations with i John Barleycorn. Edward Chester, for several weeks a transient at one of the local hoteis | pleaded to a charge of staiutory burglary at the house of Clara W. Morse in Bristol. Chester's suave manner was pre-eminent in court yes- terday and he appeared to be well versed along medical lines. He wag given a sentence of six months in jail. It is sald that Chester was a dope peddler and also & victim of the drug habit. | To Drill Tonight. Despite the fact that former drill quarters are unusable owing to the burning of the Town hall Top Sergeant Kent of the Ambulance company stat- | ed this morning that the weekly drill would be held this evening. Members of the organization will assemble on | Plerce street. The litters belonging to the company were saved from destruction vesterday | mainly through the efforts of Percy | Miller, one of the members of the medical unit. If the drill is held outdoors mem- bers of the medical unit will for the first time be given a chance to wear their new overcoats during drill. | Taking Out Insurance.

From four to six thousand applications are re- celved each day at the treasury de- partment, the amount of insurance applied for sometimes reaching a total of fifty million dollars in a single day. The law provides that soldiers, sailors, marines and nurses in active service may obtain from the govern- ment life insurance in the amount not exceeding $10,000 at premium rates ranging from &5 cents a month at the age of 21 years to $1.20 a month at the age of 51 years, for. each $1,000 of in- surance. One of the primary objects of this law is to lessen the tremendous bur- den of pensions which has followed as a consequence of all American wars. Collecting for Y. W. O. A. Serving jointly with members of the Y. W. C. A. in New Britain who are waging a campaign in the Hardware City to raise $12,000, the following women have been appointed to solicit donations for the fund in Plainvill Miss Wheeler, Miss Ruth Ryder, Mrs. Stanley Gwillim, Miss Leona Degner and Miss Gladwin. Miss Wheeler, who is employed at the Trumbull Electrio company, has been chosen captain of the warkers. . Reports to date show that the cam- paigners have been fairly successful, and quite a large amount of money has been turned in to the fund which, at present, stands a little over $6,000. Members of the committee make their reports each day to the captain who, in turn, notifies the headquarters in New Britain. One More Enlistment. i Another enlistment in the signal section of the Aviation Corps has been accredited to the town of Plain- ville. Harold Corning, son of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Corning, of street, vesterday offered his services to the government at Hartford and was accepted. At present Corning will remain at home until he receives orders to report for active service. To Hold Food Sale.

The “Hello Girls” dance, which was to be held Saturday evening in the town hall, may be postponed, it was learned this morning. However, the girls at the local exchange will en- deavor to secure the Grange hall in which to stage the affair.
