The old canal bed is being blast- }ed out for a distance of 1,350 to make a waterway of that length and of a width of 20 feet. The cost of the above work will be about $2,000, the board believes, while in addition it is planned to conllr\xct @ dam at the south end to back 'the water up and raise it to a uniYorm depth of slightly good use. The oiling appropriation was also increased to allow more streets to receive this preserving treatment. The Memorial Day, Armistice Day and other amall appropriations had this year been lumped into the mis- cellaneous account, Mr. Gwillim said, and this item also included addition- al equipment for several town offi- cials and $1,000 which the town might have to pay Hadfield, Roth- wejl, & BSoule of Hartford for their auditing of the town clerk's books two years ago. The firm agreed to do the work for $300 to $500 but submitted a bill for $1,000, One reduction was made, Mr. Gwillim said, in halving the town court appropriation, an average of the net cost for the past five years having been struck. Mr. Gwillim moved adoption an! Joseph T. Mec- Carthy seconded. Frank T. Wheel- er commended the board for includ- ing a depreciation account from town equipment, and then the budget was adopted.

Last (Continued on Page 18) before winter sets in, A code of rules for the supervision and Use of the park was then pre- sented by Mr. Castle and, on motion of Attorney Charles F. Conlon, was adopted unanimously after the secretary had been called upon to clarify certain points in it. The regu- lations forbid hunting or fishing in the park, also the disturbing of birds' nests or eggs. They prohibit motor vehicles from going faster than 15 miles an hour, ban sports except on the portions which shall be set aside, and require the securing of a permit for building a fire with- in the park limits, The Park Rules The rules and regulations are as folliows: “Any and all work in connection with the layout and development of Plainville parks shall be decided upon and done by majority vote of the board of park commissioners. And payments therefor shall be ap- proved by the chairman of the com- mission and be paid for by town orders, drawn on the town trcas- urer by the board of selectmen, pay- able out of funds held by the town of Plainville, exclusively for park purposes. ‘“The board shall eleet annually a chairman and a secretary and may at such times as it may deem nec- essary appoint a superintendent of parks and fix his salary and desig- nate his duties. “The board shall make such rules from time to time, as it may believe to be necessary to regulate the conduct of its own affairs or of the general public in the use amd enjoy- ment of sald parks.” The first set of these rules is as follows: “No public or privately conduct- ed demonstration, exhibition, or meeting of any sort shall be held in sald parks except by written license from the board of park commission- ers; and no signs, placards, flags, or advertising device shall be display- ed therein without such license. “No person shall scatter or dump any paper, garbage, or other refuse on any portion of the parks and no sewage or contaminated dralnage from any building or land shall be permitted to connect with or flow = —— WANTED MEN Natlonally known concern, 3¢ years old, with assets over twenty-three million“dol- lars, is opening Plainville territory.

You'll Never Forgive Yourself It You Miss ‘THE SHEPHERD of the HILLS’ with MOLLY O’'DAY The question of what funds\were available for running the park was raised by Burton H. Phelps, and the board secretary said the commission had Mr. Norton's gift of $2,500. other gifts totalling about $200, and the town appropriation of $1,000. John E. Lamb asked if the board had supervision of other town plots which might be called png: refer- ring particularly to the Legton green at Maple and Whiting streets. Mr. Castle said it was his understanding that the board had full jurisdiction over all little green spaces. The re- port and code were then accepted. Small Attendance There were only about 60 persons present, a small number for an an- nual meeting. Some confusion as to the place of meeting existed, and a number spent a half-hour out” in front of the darkened High school before repairing to the town hall, where the session was in progress. Peter J. Prior, former first select- man, was chairman and Town Clerk William H. Wilson_acted as clerk. The various reports printed in the annual town report were accepted without discussion. Mr. Gwillim, as chairman of the board of finance presented the budg- er for the coming year. The total of estimated expenses being $205,- 000 over that of the past year. He was called upon by Mr. Lamb, A. A. MacLeod, and others to explain certain items, which he did. He said | the police account included only what day duty was necessary for di- recting traffic and no salary for a ' regular day patrolman. The high-‘ way account had been raised, he | said, to allow the purchase of a $1,- 000 dump truck which would save the town the expense of hiring one | from day to day and to permit the extending of the experiment which was tried on the road to Plainville Casting Co., this summer. Instead of being patched, the road was broken up and resurfaced, the expense be- ing slightly more but the new road being guaranteed for five years. The town wishes to do this with several other stretch including Woodford avenue, Mr. Gwillim eaid, and about $3,000 additional could be put to NOTICE Notice is hereby given of the ap-| proval and adoption of street, build- | ing and veranda lines on Hough street by the Town Plan Commis- 509.50, an increase of almost §25, | der, sion as the result of the Public| Hearing duly warned and held on | Sept. 10, 1928, and a review of the opinions expressed at the hearing. | The approval and adoption cover | a street 50 ft. wide with 24 ft. bulld- | ing and 16 ft. veranda lines on beth | the East and West sides of Hough | street. | The adopted street, building and veranda lines are shown on a map of Hough street dated May 28, 1928, drawn by Eng.

Wheeler in nam- ing him for another terms on the town plan commission, *“He needs no endorsement as to fitness but should receive commendation,” Mr. Washburn said. “He has brought vision to the commission, of which h: has been a member since its in- ception, and he has done his job well.”” Chairman John E. Lamb of the commission nominated Russell G. Hart for another term, and both men were reelected. ‘When the matter of tax rebates was reached, Mr. Simpson said that Judge B. F. Gafiney, town attor- ney, had ruled that the selectmen could rebate taxes improperly paid and did not need approval from a town meeting. He explained that one or two had paid taxes on the property of others. Mr. Wheeler stated that the final payment on the High school had been made to t1» now bankrupt Lawrence & Co. firm. The meeting then adjourned on motion of Mr. Downham. Cutting For Assemblyman Plainville democracy took a stand last night and served notice that the day of meek endorsement of repub- |lican candidates for important of- fices was ended. Carrall O. Cutting was nominated by the democratic town committee as the party’s choice for representative in the general as- {sembly and will oppose Robert B. White, present assemblyman and re- publican nominee for another term. Two years ago Mr. White received the endorsement of the acquiescent minority party, but this fall there is evidence of a new spirit among local democrats and this was signalized by last night's action. Mr. Cutting has never held public office here, although in 1925 he ran for the board of rellef and was de- feated by Walter W. S8eymour. He has acted as moderator at several elections. Prominent in Legion af- fairs for many years, Mr. Cutting has served as adjutant of Brock-Barnes post for several terms. He is em- ployed at the Peek Stow & Wilcox Mfg. Co., in Southington. The town committee also consid- ered the naming of a third candi- date for justice of the peace to fill out the ticket on which Justices Ed- ward P. Prior and William Cunning ham are running. For this post the party continued its recent program of taking judicial offices out of politics and Justice Meritt O. Ry- republican candidate, was en- dorsed.
