The | Announcer, Joh | g OPTION ON HILLS SHOP |[Closed Factory May be Purchased ~—HNearing on Roswell Case To- night—Miss Daly Makes Monthly Report as Nursc—Bowling. Some of the justices of the peace are behind in making their pay- ments of fines to the town, it was learned today, and the selectmen plan to take ateps to secure the money due if they find that they | have such authority. Not all of the justices are at fault, it is said. In fact, the majority have made full returns to date, but there remain one or two who are thought by the selectmen to be behind in making their accounts. In one or two cases, it is said, the full fines have not even been collected by the justices from the men whom they have found guilty. The statutes require that justices make returns of all fines at the end of each quarter, but this provision ihas not been strictly enforced in Flainville. The justices, whose indi- vidual memoranda are the only court records, have been loft to make their returns in thelr own time. The state authorities have prodded justices throughout Connec- | ticut on several occasions for their siowness in turning in those portions of certain fines which are due to the state (such as in motor vehicle cases or arrests made by the state police), but the town has never sought to hurry them. | The selectmen now plan to hold the justices to a stricter accounting, and the advice of Judge B. B. Gaff- |ney of New Britain, town attorney, will be sought to ascertain what power the selectmen have in the matter. As the fines from the justice courts form a portion of the estimat- led receipts upon which the town | budget is built, it is feit that they should be turned in as provided. Last year the total of receipts from | thin mource was upproximately $500. { It i3 not known how much moncy lis outstanding, but the amount 8 nct [believed to be large. 'The laxity is blamed more on the justice syatem than on the individual men them- Iselves. In fact, the loose kecping | of records which is a consequence of {the justice system is one of the | “necessary evils” which has been ad- {vanced in the arguments for the | cstablishment of the town court, which now looms on the horizon. Option On Hills' Shop Rumors that an option had been taken on the former Edwin H. Hills | Mfg. Co. factory on North Washing- ton strect were confirmed today by !Mrs. Edwin H. Hills, widow of the Iformer owner, and by Frederick | Bullen, one time superintendent of the plant. The name of tho party which held the option was not dis- lclosed, but reports that it was the Wallace Barnes Co. of Bristol werc denled by Mr. Bullen, The factory, known as the “hame |shop,” ceased active operations about {two years ago following the tragic dcath of the owner, and in Beptem- ber, 1928, it was officially closed. It it is purchased by another con- cern and reopened, the town of inville is expected to benefit atly from the employment of more men and the increase in busi- nces Hearing On Boswell Case The relectmen will mect tonight land will give a hearing to both sides |in the trouble arising from the peti- [tion of 28 members of the fire de- | partment for the removal of James R.

Russell Mink, president of the Bristol Visiting Nurse and Fam- ily Welfare Asseciation, to the ef- fect that an appropriation of 1,000, which was to be included in this year's budget for the organization, would not be needed and that the amount in question could be stricken from the city budget. This is the first time in the history of the city that an appropriation made by the city has been refused by any department or organization Mcmbers of the council not only pressed surprise but also the wish that other departments might do likewise, thereby making it casicr for them to reduce the budget for 1929 to at least as low a figure as| the one for the previous year. In explanation, Mrs. Mink stated that edequate funds for the opera- tion of the Visiting Nurse and Fam- {ly Welfare Association were avail- uble because of the allowance madce Com- quota of $90,000 was oversubscribed. thereby permitting a more liberal division of the receipts to the five organizations henefited by the chest Mrs. Mink's letter also expressed ap- preciation of the council's action in appropriating the thousand dollars. Defer Action on Sunday Skating Action on the petition for permis- sion to operate a roller skating rink Sunday afternoons in Red Men's hall was deferred by the city council last night until Monday, February 18, when a public hearing will be held Acting Corporation Counsel Joseph P. O'Connell informned the city fathers last night that it was a mat- ter of local option entirely and it was within the province of the coun- cil to grant or refuse the privilege. He believed, however, that it would be advisable to give the matter more study and for that reason no action was taken last night. According to Mr. O'Connell, it is | probable that some objection will be advanced to the granting of the roll- er skating privileges on Sunday aft- ernoons. Buch objectors will he given | an opportunity to express their senti- ments on February 18, as well as those who favor such Sunday amusement. A statement by Councilman Jrank Dutton that the privilege shotld not he granted without a hearing prompted Councilman Ernest Merrill to remark that if such action was to be taken 1n regard to roller skating. similar methods should be employed in connection with Sunday baweball, football and other amusements. Bristol’s atttitude toward Sunday amusements is without question more liberal than any other city in Hartford county, it is pointed out. Raseball and other sports on Sun- days have never been questioned by the city fathers and a year and a half ago. permission was given local theaters to hold vaudeville shows on Sunday afternoons and evenings. Theaters were also granted permis- sion to open at 2:30 p. m. Sundays and at that time the action was sanctioned by the council without the formality of holding a public hear- ing. Considerable interest is anticipated in the meeting February 18, and if permission is denied roller skating, it is po: le that Councilman Mer- ril will insist on the reconsideration of other Sunday sports and amuse- ments. Communicable Discases One hundred and thirty-seven cases of communicable discases were reported to the health depart- ment during the month of January. according to the monthly report sub- mitted to the city council last night by Dr. B. B. Robbins. Of this num- ber. 36 were listed as Influenza, The health situation in the city is momewhat improved. according to Dr. Robbins, although there are a number of cases of grip which are not reported to his department Charity Commissioner's Report The report of Charity Commis- sioner Wiliam F. 8mithwick for the month of January showed expendi- tures of $1.388.72 and receipts of 50. making the net expense to the city $1.338.72.

A charge of ‘reckless driving against Walter Py Wart- schow of 55 North Pond street was nollea by the prosccutor. | The accident was one of the most unusual investigpted by the police in years, Mrs. Parker was crossing North Main street near the North street corner when she was struck by automobile and knocked | down. Mr. Simon, who was operating | his car northerly, stopped, pickel | the injured woman up and took her to the hospital, where he informed attendants that he had struck her, | according to the police. Wartschow, | who was proceeding southerly, also stopped his car and after the wo- | man was placed in Simon's car, pro- cecded to his home. Shortly after re- | orting tho aceident at police head- quarters, & doubt entered Simon's mind as to wnether he had struck {the woman or whether Wartschow jhad and the latter was then called |in_for investigation.
