A heated boundary dispute which led o the arrest of the participants and caused them to be brought be- fore Judge Griswold in the Berlin town court last night, resulted in fines of $15 and costs each, for John Malicki and Thomas Stagis, both of Berlin. The men appealed to the superior court. Malicki lives on the old Nichols place in the southern part of the town and Stagls resides on the prop- erty adjacent. On July 7 a dispute over boundary lines came to a head and the men are alleged to have as- saulted each other with clubs and spades. Apparently the spades were trumps since Malicki broken arm as a result. Both men were arrested, charged | with mutual assault, and were brought to court last night. It seems that the quarrel over the dividing line had been going on for some time. One of the men moved it 13 feet and the other moved it back. How long this state of affairs con- tinued is not known. At any rate, the argument got too hot to be set- tled with mere words, according to evidence submitted in court. Due to the fact that Malicki has brought suit for $2,000 damages against Stagis, appeals were taken by both parties. Malicki was repre- sented by Albert A. Greenberg of the firm of Greenberg and LeWitt, New Britain, and it was through that attorney that the suit was brought. Stagls was represented Dby Judge William F. Mangan of New Britain. Malicki’s suit claims damages for an alleged assault with a tin shovel and for the broken arm. The writ is retv-nable in the city court of New Britain the first Monday of August. Deputy Sheriff Martin H. Horwitz of New Britain served the papers. Lacked Conn. Registration Henry C.

Several Cascs Continued The cases of Wylley D. Glass and James Brice, both of Hartford, who were arrested Sunday night by Of- ficer Frank Brown, after a slight ac- cident on the turnpike, were con- tinued until 7:30 p. m.

Both men are negroes. Alexander Solomon, arrested for Peckless driving, atter an accident on received a! $18.

The case was con- tinued until August 12, and it is probable that it will be continued even beyond that date.

Berlin Man Brings Suit Tony Tomassi of Berlin, through | Attorney Alfred LeWitt of New Brit- ain, has brought suit for $1,500 damages against Gabriel Belous of South Main street, New Britain, for alleged damage done to the plain- tiff's car Monday evening on South Main street, when it was struck by an automobile owned by Belous. Belous was convicted in the New Britain police court yesterday of driving while under the influence of liquor and he was fined and jailed for five days. Deputy Sheriff Martin H. Horwitz served the papers and the writ is returnable in the city court me‘ fourth Monday of July. The Mattabessett River | East Berlin residents are crying! aloud against the odors arising from the Mattabessett river, the poliu- tion of which stream has caused a great deal of adverse criticism dur- i ing the past several years. Dr. Roger M. Griswold, health of- ficer of the town of Berlin, today stated that there is nothing the town authorities can do. He said that the committee appointed by the gov- ernor of the state some time ago is working on the proposition and is endeavoring to work out a plan whereby the nuisance may be elim- inated. The health officer said that, in time, the offensive condition will be entirely eradicated but that it will be a matter of several years before the plan will be placed into effect. Meanwhile, the citizens of East Berlin will suffer. The nuisance arises from the sewage from New Britain which finds its way into the | stream and then to the Connecticut river. The stream was formerly one of the beauty spots of the town. Thers were many “swimmin’ holes” along its banks and edible fish abounded there. At present, fish cannot live] in the stream and it has become one of the banes of the community's existence. The stream is at times covered with scum. Residents are hoping that the state committee will take a hand in the matter shortly, so that the stream may be once more restored to its former beauty.

The plan of the Chamber of Commerce for a sign advertising Plainville has u'lut born fruit in booklets which were mailed yester- | day to the general public asking for | opinion on the matter. The scheme most favored by the chamber is the | painting of a huge sign on the east wall of the new Sequassen building on West Main street. This an: nouncement would be 45 feet by 15 feet in size and would attract all passersby by the following procla- “Plainville, Conn. Our Home. The growing town we love to live in. So would you In the lower corner would be “Erected and maintained by the people of Plain- ville.” It is estimated that such a sign would cost $600, although smaller ones could be made for $400 or even $300. The maintenance of the largest size will be about $200 a | vear, including painting, repairs, and electricity, for it is planned to have the display illuminated at night. The committee has mailed out elaborate folders describing the sign and calling attention to the novelty of the plan. With the folders are cards on which the public is asked to record its sentiments in the mat»i ter, whether the sign is approved | and if so which size, and how much each would be willing to contribute to its erection and to the yearly maintenance.

The same thing is ab- | solutely true of the town. It is just as unpleasant, in a modified way, for one who is passing through a town to hear a native snap at and criticize his home community, as it is for a visitor in a home to hear |a complaining parent child. Many of us can think of ‘lecal\tles—l;\rge or small—that radi- |ate loyalty and contentment. And we can think of the opposite type. “Plainville is our home. If we can do nothing else to help the home town, we can at least speak well of be re-| or snarling | the town (on the east wall of the Sequassin Block has been suggested) painted in colors and to be illumin- ated at night, which will call atten- tion—Afirst to ourselves and secondly to the passerby—that his is Plain- ville and that Plainville is ‘Our Home.' A very simple thought, but | ‘worthy of careful consideration on the part of each one of us. The simple words are intended to re- mind us of our duty to the home tows; that we say nothing to take | away her prestige; do nothing to mar her fair name; forget her shortcomings, and lay emphasis on her virtues. ‘“We believe such a home town re- minder will assist in creating an at- | mosphere that will impress the pas- serby and lead him to tell others of this community where each seems to be wishing the other well; and all together, all the time, are sing- ing the praises of the town—which is their home.” The committes on the town dis- play consists of W. B. Wilber, J. E. Lamb, A. M. Raymond, J. E. Usher, A A. McLeod, and L. L. Brastow. Some opposition has been voiced to the location of the sign. It is claimed that the sign should be on | the outskirts of the town rather than | in the center, also that its presence | 80 close to a railroad crossing might detract motorists’ attention from the | crossing and be a menace to traf- | fic safety. | Ryder Estate Sells Out Samuel J. Castle of Canal street has purchased the stationery and news business formerly owned by the late Marshall P. Ryder and con- ducted since his death by “The Estate of M. P. Ryder.” The busi- ness will hereafter be conducted by | Mr. Castle as sole proprietor at the same location in Russell's block, oc- cupied by Mr. Ryder and his estate since 1908, Castle is the second oldest in Plain- ville and the oldest conducted under one management. It really dates back to 1870, when Frank E. Burn- ham began it in a small way, his store then being located where the Chinese laundry on West Main street now {s. Mr. Burnham was succeed- ed in 1876 by Walter and William Moore, and It was from the former that Mr. Ryder bought the business in 1877. The firm therefore carried the Ryder name for 50 years, both in its old location and, after it was burned out there, in the present one. The only business in town which is older is that of Frisbie & Heming- way, but the partners in that enter- prise have changed frequently. Mr. Castle has been employed for four years in the store which he has just purchased. Under the name of “S. J. Castle” he plans to carry on an up-to-date stationery and news store in all its branches.
