Hartford will be ‘the center of at- traction next month for the veterans | of the civil war now living in Connec- ticut, as thle 44th annual encampment of the department of = Connecticut G. A. R., will be held there Wednesday and Thursday, April 12 and 13. It is the intef’tion to malke this the most remarkable encampment held in this state for some yearss and it is expeet- ed that many of the prominent leaders of the Grand Army from various parts of the country will be ‘present. The department encampment is be- ing held there at the invitation of Rob- eri G, “Syler post, No. 50, that post having offereé to bear tbe expenses. There are 61 posts in the state, and if each sends:the number of delegates to the encamnment it is entitled to, there will be about 600 present. Undoubte ly the business of the- session, t gether with the campfire. will prove source of attraction to a good many mhore who live in close proximity to the city, so that it is believed that 1,000 veterans will find an opportunity to witness some part of the encamp- ment ceremonies during the two days that they are in progress. | The encampment sessions will be | Reld in Unity hall on Pratt street, this | Ball having been the scene of two | previous encampments in past years. The session on Wednesday will open at noon and will be presided over by | Dept. Commander HEdson B. Bishop. | The time will be taken up solely with | routine business, consisting pri al of the appointment of committees and i the reference to them of the reports of other committees. The gathering in which the public will be mnost interested will be the campfire. held Wednesday evening in Foot Guard hall. This will be thel only portion of the encampment ceremonies which will be open to the public.

Gilman of Boston, Mass., and a similar accept- ance has been received from Senior Vice Commander in Chief Charles Burrowes of Rutherford, N. J. Invi- tations have - also been sent to Gov- ernor Baldwin and Mayor Smith. It happens that this night will be the 50th anniversary of the firing\on Fort Suiater, and this event will without doubt play an important part in the patriotic speeches that Wul be deliv- ered at the campfire. The principal - business at Thurs- day’s session will be the election of officers. Ever since the department of Connecticut changed its - elections from a semi-annual to an annual event, no department commander has received a re-election, and conse- quently Commander Bishop will net seek’ another term in office. TLast vear the most prominent name men- tioned outside of that of Commander Bishop was that of ‘R. J. Butbill of Douglas Fowler post, Ne, 48, of South Norwalk. It is said that he stepped out. of the ‘way at the last minute in favor of nmander Bishop, and his jends believe that he is this year entitled to the place. Other names that, have been prominently mention- ed for head of the department for the coming year are William II. Dugal of Upton post, No. 14. of New Preston, and ‘James Sloan of Merriam post, No, 8, of Meriden. All three of these candidates have strong backing and it appears as if there will be not a little interest attached to the selec- tion of department commander this year. LAYOUT FOR ROAD WANTED AT MONTVILLE Probable That Meeting Will Be Called Last of This Month. In all probability a special Mont- ville town meeting will be held on Friday afternoon, March 31, in the town hall, Palmertown, to obtain the feeling of’taxpayers a§ to opening.a new road from the witch hazel mill to Kitemaug. First Selectman 6 Moses Chapman stated that the above date appeared to be suitable and that no- tice would probably be given this week. The three members of the board of selectmen, Moses Chapman, Matt A. Tinker and Robert C. Burchard, ac- coimpanied by Frank W. Browning of Norwich, went over ‘the proposed lay- out on Wednesday, and arrived at a plan which it ig believed will he agree- able to all parties comncerned. The original plan, which included a bridge or a grade crossing over the tracks of the Central Vermont rail- road, has been modified =0 that no new crossing will be required. The road will follow the 'o0ld- Ilayout for some distance from the main highway but will lead towards the higher ground, as the Simeon Church estate property is approached, Near the res- idence on this estate the road - will swing to the north and west and pass in rear of the house. North of this property a right of way exists ‘to Kitsmaug at present and this will be used. The Church heirs object strongly to any break in the ground'in fromt of this house, but the understanding reached yesterday was that no objec- tion would be offered if the road was Iaid out in the rear. This house and the farm land around it is leased by Frederick Perkins. The layout will bring the rallroad crossing one-fourth of a mile south of the Massapeag sta- tion. The entire distance to be cov- the new road, will be -about one mile. The sharp curves and elbows on the present road will be taken out as far as possible. . No estimate has been made of the expense, but the select- men believe it will not be a costly plece of work, as there will be little to remove, the principal cost being in grading.
