The Coal Situation, Much indignation is still being ex- pressed in locul circles over the let- ' ter published by Kuel Administrator Russell, ‘relating to the delivery of coal in Plainville by New Britaln dealers, Reports from the Hardware City state that there is plenty of. coal to be had in that city and local peo- ple have thought themselves fortu- nate in being able to secure some for themselves, seeing that coal is re- ported as being so short. l.ocal people seem to think that the state administrator should feel that the New Britain dealers were doing a great service to Plainville by sup- plying needy persons with fuel. Local dealers are unable to secure coal in any quantities and when a shipment is received, it is delivered so quickly that hardly anyone can get a suffi- cient quantity. It has been a great convenience to many here to be able to secure coal from New Dritain be- | may be we ot s them to news that weather does not ca the coldest present come joyous over expeot the the year Notes committee of Brock Leglon, will Ladies' The oxecutive Darnes Post, American mect with the officers of the Auxiliary this evening.

HOME. i | Younger Japancse Officials Advocating I oa Brand New Plan. Tokio, Dec. 15.— The younger offi- cials ‘of the household department are ' advocating a plan to make the Akasa- ka detached palace, where the Prince of Wales residéd, a permuanent dwell- ing for the Prince Regent. They pro- pose to remodel this palace lines similar to Buckingham Palace, | appropriating half of it for the re- gent's use and the other half for re- ception pf guests., A Japanese build- ing would be added for Princess Na- gako and her attendants. The blder cfficials think that al- though the palace was intended by Emperor Melji for the Crawn Prince, the Kasumigaseki Palace, where the Regent now lives, his wished for simplicity and example of economy to the peovle. § CHRISTMAS GIFT SUGGESTIONS '8 FOR HER FOR HIM 1 along, is more suited to| |#®f the road and appeared to be about | to hit his car. Mr. Neri quickly put on .his brakes, but it was too late.| | The truck crashed into his car smash- S ing the entire left side of it. 1ortu-| nately, neither Mr. Neri nor the driver of the bakery truck was injured. The truck was damaged somewhat, but despite the crash, Mr. Neri was| able to drive his car to his home in Plainville under its own power. No estimate of the damage could be given this morning. Renovations Under Way. It appears at the present time that the renovations begun about a year ago on the corner of Whiting and { South Main streets, will not be com- pleted by January 1, as was planned at first. The work on the first three stores was completed and they are now occupied by Levines Market, the Kconomy grocery store and the Model shop. The s Station, A thorn in Plainville’s side, as re- gards the appearance of the center of the town, has been for a long time the gasoline filling station on the east corner of South Main street. With the addition of Neri's block facing South Main street, the center has had an imposing look for some time. The attractiveness, however, loses all its strength when one views the dingy hut across the street. Many of the local townsfolk had Hoped that cer- tain interested parties some time ago would take hold of this spot and, put a decent building there, but nothing ever came of the deal, and aithough no plans for immediate changes are known, it is to be hoped that the place will be changed in the - near futu're. Mrs. Dennis Downey. Mrs. Dennis Downey, age about 80 years, one of the best known . resi- dents, of Plainvilte, died last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs, Den- nis Mahoney on Park Drive, Belvi- dere, New Britain, She had been ill for some months past, and although her health was not the best, her death will come as a shock to all who knew her, She was born in County Kerry, I're- land, and came to Plainville about 43 years ago. She lived here until about five years ago, when she left to take up her residence with her daughter in New Britain. She became known to most of the, people of the town, ‘and she has a host of friends here who will mourn her passing. Besides her daughter, Mrs, Ma- honey, she leaves also another daugh- ter in New Britain, Mrs. John Mur- phy, and one son in Plainville, Cor- nelius Downey, formerly police offi- cer here. She also is survived by about eight grandchildren. Full arrangements for the funeral have not as yet been completed, but the funeral will be held Monday morning, and burial, will be in 8t Joseph's cemetery, Pldinville. A_hcarn Discharged. T. J. Ahearn of Hartford was be- fore Justice Prior in the town court last evening on the charge of driving an automobile with improper brakes. He was arrested about three weeks ago, after the automobile in which he was riding had run down and killed a dog on Whiting street. The case was postponed until last night, and when the evidence was presented before the court, it tended more show that Mr, Ahearn was not at (fault. A number of witnesses testi- | fied that the brakes on the automo- bile®were in good condition at the time of the accident, and Prosecutor Wiillam Foran moved for dismissal of the charges.
