GETS INCREASE Town Taken on Whiting Street—Epworth Attended—School Commiittee Meets—Other Items. Clerk Fees Increased—Survey Social Largely Several large bundles of old cloth- have already been donated' to- wards the welfare of the needy of the town, and more is expected within a few days. The town sent out an ap- peal recently for old clo' hing for those families living in Plainville who are in need of such. Mrs. Hiram P. Lowry of West Main street and Miss Anna Grannis of Whiting street, have volun- teered to act as headquarters to re- e any contributions and have 1c- cepted them at their homes, Mr: Lowry has three large bundles with several varities of wearing apparel, and Miss Grannis is in receipt of many articles that can be used. This method of providing for the poor of the town had been used before the war, but was abolished during and soe time after it. It had previously been no map of this street on file, the old one having been lost. The exact loca- tion of the street line will be made Town Clerk’'s New Fee An increase in the recording fees to be paid town clerks was adopted ) by the Senate yesterday. This will} affect Plai ille, A meeting of the town clerks throughout the state was held on February 17 before the Judi- ciary Committee.

The town clerks’ association of Connecticut was largely responsi- ble for the movement for the in- crease. The new rates to be paid are as follows: Ordinary deed without condition, with one certificate of ac- knowledgment, 75 cents; ordinary | mortgage deed, 90 cents: discharge of mortgage or attachment, 10 cents; certificate of attachment or release of mortgage or judgments lien or mechanics lien, 50 cents; pendency in action, 75 cents; filing and indexing each copy of process for foreclosura, 25 cents; indexing and filing certifi- cates of adoption of trade name, 50 cents; Other records and copies at the rate of cents a page.
