Two—Tabs Baseball Team to Open ! Secason Sunday in \Watertown— | To Give Spaghetti Supper Tonight. Representative Claude W. Stevens has reported that a visit to the of- fice of the state highway commis- sloner has given him considerable encouragment regarding the recon- ditloning of the Beech Swamp road, a move which, although promised by the commission last fall, has not been heard from recently and which was given up as lost by the major- ity of residents. Stevens reported that bids for the new highway will be received at the oifice of the highway commissioner on Tuesday, May 31, and that”re- quirements call for approximately 12,882 lineal feet of a 20 foot re- inforced concrete highway. Al- though it has not been definitely decided as yet, Representative Stev- ents stated that he believes that the car tracks existing on the side of the present highway will be re- moved. In connection with the above in- formation, it has been rumored that the Kensington fire district chair- man has recelved notice that con- nections to the water main should be made in the near future before the permanent highway is laid. Such & notice would indicate that the road is receiving definite consider- ation by the highway commission and that the day is not far off when the thoroughfare will receivé atten- tion. The temporary improvements which have kept a road gang busy on the Beech Swamp route for the past three months, have fallen un- der the heavy traffic combined with the recent rains. The highway is in the worst condition it has ever been, large pits and ruts marring the sur- face. Fined In Court Lester T. Cefaretto of 251 Wash- ington street, New Britaln, charged with operating an automobile while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, received a fine of $100 and costs and a 30 day suspended jail sentence before Judge George G. Griswold at last night's session of the Berlin town court.— Cefaretto was arrested by Officer Frank Brown Friday morning, May 20, after his car turned turtle on the Beech Swamp road opposite the George E. Prentice Mfg. Co. Roy Barlen, John Mayer\and Jos- eph Cosgrove, all of New Britain, who were Cefaretto’s companions in the crash, were tried on charges of intoxication. Barien was discharged by the court when evidence failed to impress the local magistrate™ with his guilt while Mayer and Cosgrove were each fined $5 and costs. . __Anthony Maise of Kingston Place, New Britain, charged with violating the state fish and game laws, was fined $5 and costs at last evening's mession. Maise was arrested by State Game Warden Yaeger. H. G. Linn of 55 Chapman street, New Britaln, charged with violating the state fish and game laws, was discharged by the court. Linn was summoned by Game Warden Yaeger. Judge Griswold impressed upon the New Britainite the advisability of a concise knowledge of the state laws and dismissed the case when Prose- cuting Attorney Charles F. Lewis waived prosecution proceedings., To Open Season Pat Buckeley's S§t.

Farmers Anxious Local farmers are anxiously watching the west in hopes that a break in the storm clouds might dare to show itself before the early crops are swamped out. They report that heavy losses have been sustain- ed in this portion of the state be- cause of the incessant rains and in many caseh it has been found neces- sary to re-plant potatoes in order to save them from rotting.

Operetta a Success The crowd which braved the weather last night and witnessed the opening performance of the oper- etta, “The Cat and the King.” at the high school, completely forgot the ain as soon as the curtains were drawn, the production exceeding the expectations of even those who had known it was to be an unusual affair. It was all the more remark- able in that it was staged with un- trained material, and much credit is due to Miss Leila Church for her direction. Howard 8. Smith was magnificent as the king and rolled out his melo- dious song with super-royal gusto and authority. W. A.

WILL MADE IN 1884 IS NOW BEING CONTESTED Fairficld Church Society Takes Re- | fore his de is valued at approxi- course to Law to Settle Legal Tangle. Bridgeport, Conn., May 25.—(@— | The first Ecclesiastical —soclety of rfield and Rev. John H. Grant, pastor of the First Church of Christ of Fairfield today filed an action in the superior court in which it is sought to break the wills of Roger M. Sherman, state judge of the su- preme court of Connecticut and his wite, Elizabeth, When Judge Sherman died on De- jcember 30, 1544 following the death his wife on August 3, 1844, it was found that the couple had left wills whereby the society, which | was founded fn 1639 was granted | forever a tract of land located on {what is now Center street. The tract and the homestead upon it , were, according to the wills, to be |161t for the benefit of ministers of {the church. At that time Fai was a farming communit was understood that the ministers would the land for agricultural purposes. Now with the growth of Bridge- port and the passing of Fairfield as a farming center, the taxes upon the land have increased so that to pay them has become a burden upon the society. Rev. Mr. Grant is now using the homestead as a parson- age. The present tax upon the pro- perty is far in excess of the incom: to the society for this purpose and has become a liability rather than an asset. The petitioners in the court ac- tion want permission to sell the land, now valued at $25.000, the money to be invested for the bene- fit of the ministers. It is thought that by this action the wishes of the Sherman couple will be upheld. By Blosser DID WS LITTLE Boy FIND You, BoBBY 2 WHAT'S BOY BREENG MEEM| | AIS AAME AND WHERE LNE??
