Mills Invites Public The following invitation to the public to attend the formal opening of the new high school tomorrow evening was issued today by Super- intendent of Schools L. §. Mills: “To the Citizens of Plainville: “The dream that we all had, on | that memorable evening in the Com- munity theater over a year ago, of | a new modern high school building in Plainville has now come true. It stands due east and west in the midst of nine acres of playground where the children of this and com- ing generations may play; where fleld events may be held; and where the community may assemble, from year to year, as Plainville continues to grow until it becomes a city. “Within the walls are conveniences for modern education, meeting the needs of modern social, civic and in- dustrial life. An education for the children, second to none in Con- necticut, may be carried on here and if managed wisely, at a reason- able cost to the town. “We now have, for the first time since I have been connected with the school of Plainville, sufficlent school accommodations to properly reorganize and operate the several | grades in our public schools. “Our new building is so planned that it will be adaptable to the new school {deals required by the educa- tional exigencies of tomorrow. “The building is so planned and laid out that it may be enlarged without damage or change to the | present structure. “The building i{s complete, and I am sure that you all want to see therefore, come to the Plainville high school with us on Thursday evening, May 5, at 7:30, daylight saving time, and wander down the corridors; toss a ball in the gym- nasium; hear the echoes ring as the high school glee clubs sing in the auditorium; and listen to the first addresses ever given from the new stage. Then look through the 20 class rooms; the three offices; the | three store rooms; the health room; the teachers’ room; the shower rooms; the dressing rooms; the two physical directors’ rooms; the more than 50 closets and cases; the fur- nace and fuel rooms. “There will be happy high school boys and girls, everywhere about the building, to guide vou and to ex- plain all part of the building to you. “This {s a personal invitation to Yyou to come.

Variety has been called the spice of life, in which event Dr. B. B. Robbins, city health officer, must be enjoying his sojourn on earth to the nth degree because of the varie- !ty of cases which he is called upon to investigate, Last fall, a resident in the north- ern scction of the city presented a complaint to the health department on account of one of her ncighbors keeping goats in the back yard. She maintained that zoats to be admired should be*seen through a telescope, but when they came within the vi- sion of the naked eve, they became a nuisance. An investigation was conducted by Dr. Robbins, who re- ported to the council that the com- plaint was unwarranted and the matter was dropped by everyone ex- cept the complainant. The goat nuisance now has its sequel which jvas explained to the city council last evening. The wom- an complaining of the goats has set up a number of bee-hives In her own back yard and what are sup- posed to be perfectly tame bees have taken up their residence there. The honey gatherers, which have been keeping in seclusion during the win- ter, took advantage of the balmy weather during April and proceeded to stretch themselves. Naturally eluggish after the months of idle- ness, they seemed to select children as the most fitting place to light, with the result that many youngsters were badly stung by the insects. Dr. Robbins was called in and in his statement to “he council last eve- ning, he intimated that the matter had been taken care of but failed to mention how. Possibly the bees were secured to combat ‘the goat nuisance but up to the present time the assaults of the ‘l)ccs have been misdirected. Proba- | bly their sense of smell, always susceptible to the odor of honey, is as much offended with the neighbor- ing quadrapeds as is that of the owner. Hearings Held No one gppeared at the scheduled hearing before the city council last evening on the sewer assessment on ! Edgewood street and the recom- mendations of the sewer committee were passed. Payments on the as- sessments are to be made on May 15 and November 15. There was no objection to the re- establishment of the street line of South street as far as Downs street and the council voted to re-establish the line in accordance with plans prepared by City Engineer Carleton ‘W. Buell. Eleven taxpayers appeared and signified their willingness to accept the proposed grade on Field street {and the construction of curbs and i | sidewalks. There were no objections 1and City Clerk Thomas B. Steele was instructed to advertise for bids which will be opened at the ad- Jjourned meeting of May 17. There was no objectors to the ac- ceptance of grade on View street jand the construction of curbs and isidewalks and bids for this work | will also be solicited. The contract { for this work will also be awarded | lon May 17. | All the property owners on ‘ Sigourney street were in favor of the establishment of a building line of 15 feet on one side and 10 feet on the other and it was voted to estab- lish the line in accordance with the petition. Five property owners on Muzzy street objected to the laying of curbs and sidewalks the entire length of ‘lhe street and the matter was re- | tee for further investigation. It was also voted to accept the |grade on Melrose street and to con- struct sidewalks and curbs, bids to be recetved and the contract award- ed on May 17. There were none op- posed to the proposed improve- ments. 2 The proposed improvements on South street extemsion met with no opposition, but before the work is started it will be necessary to con- demn some property to straighten out the street. A legal vote will be avallable for the meeting to be held on May 17 and formal action -will be taken at that time. Desires Appointment to Police Force An application was presented to the city council asking the appoint- ment of Joseph J. Foley as a super- numerary officer. The matter was referred to the police committee for investigation and report at & later meeting. ferred back to the street commit- A petition, signed by eight prope erty owners residing on Cottage street, was presented to the council asking that curbs and sides walks be constructed in front ef their property. This. petition wal referred to the street committee, A petition was received from the Bristol hospital, Inc, asking thag Brewster road be accepted as a city street, as it was the desire to have curbs and sidewalks laid as soen ag possible. This was also referred te the street committes. Health Officer’s The report of Dr. B. B. Robbins, city health officer, submitted at the meeting last evening, showed that at the present time thers were seven cases of scarlet fever and one isolat- ed case of diphtheria in the city. The measles epidemic is now under control, the number of cases being reduced rapldly. During the epi- demic, there were 889 cases brought to the attention of the health of- ficer. Unsanitary conditions on both Kenney and Pleasant streets, For- estville, caused by sewage flowing into the street, are now bemng looked into by the health author}- ties and it 1s believed that the con- filtlonn complained of will be ellm- inated before the hot weather, Vote to Pay Claims Acting upon the recommendation of the claims committee, the city council voted to pay the claim of $225, received from E. J. Hayden of Queen street covering cxpenses in- curred for medical attention as the result of a fall received by Mrs. Hayden on Prospect stroot several weeks ago. The claim of Alexandor Brady for $125 was also voted paid by the council. Mr. Brady was confined to his home for a period of five wecks as a result of a fall ed on January 11, Hearing On Ruild Property owners on Que will be called in held before 1} 17, to show ne n street a hearing to be city council on May ause why a building Hne shoull noi bhe < shed on that street. T recommendation of the ommittes calls for a 10-foot buildinz line hoth sides of the street, except for a short dis- tance at the southern end. Sewer Commiittee Report The réport of the sewer commit- tee, submitted at the council meet- ing, showed that the damages for running a sewer main from the west end of Divinity street to Park street across private property would total $1,534. There are no benefits to be assessed due to the fact that none of the property owners will be served by the arrangement. This report was accepted and it was decided to hold a hearing on May 17. Contracts Awarded The contract for the installation of curbs, sidewalks, gutters, cross- walks and catch basins on Addison street and Park street, was award- ed by the ecity council to Cosmo Vacca, the lowest bidder.
