Which Reduces the Borough’s Balance This Year. The annual report of Wesley Wilson | as treasaurer of the borough of Daniel- son will show a favorable balance of about $275 this year. The report is now in the hands of the printers. Had it not been for the fact that the bor- | ough was put to the extra and unusual expense of about $1,400 in stamping out smallpox here last fa]l. the balance on the right side of the ledger would have been greater than it is by about that sum.

To Be Decided in All Probability at a Specially Warned Meeting. Following the next regular monthly meeting of the selectmen, which comes on the first ‘Wednesday in April, it is probable that a warning will be issued for a special town meeting in order that the voters may have an opportu- nity to pass upon the proposition of the state highway department for the permanent paving of Main street. As outlined in a letter which First Selectman Hiram S. Franklin has re- ceived from State Highway Commis- sioner C. J. Bennett, following a visit here by one of his staff of assistants, the proposition is an extra attractive one, and the very best that has ever been made for giving Main street the kind of paving that a principal busi- ness street of a town like Danielson should have. Commissioner Bennett ands ready to expend as much as 000 as the state’s share of improving Main street, Under the new plan suggested this amount of money, with what- the town of Killingly and the Shore Line Elec- tric company would be required to pay as their share of the cost of the im- Pprovement, would provide a permanent pavement from the bridge over the Assawauga river near the store of the Danielson Cotton company to a point about 150 feet beyond the junction of Main and Reynolds street, a distance of approximately 1,900 feet, The average width of Main street the section mentioned is 33 feet. As the state builds highways only up to 16 feet in width the state would meet the cost of paving only that width. Under an agreement that applies in such cases, the trolley peo- ple would be required to pay the cost of paving 9 feet, the distance between the rails and a space at each side of the same. With the 16 feet that the state would pay for and the 9 feet | that the trolley company would pay | for the town would be required to meet only the cost of paving the remaining 8 feet. and the cost of this to the town is set down as $1 a linear foot. In addition the town would be required to meet the cost of paving the street intersections, a small matter. As Main street is part of a trunk line the re- | pair cost-—all of it—would rest through | future vears on the atate. For this reason the proposition is regarded as the best ever. joner Bennett offers a site, Warrenite or con- paving material. With an appropriation of $1,900 the town can get permanent p put in from the bridge mentioned to 150 feet be- yvond the junction of Main and Rey- nolds str , with an appropriation of $1,350 from the bridge to the junction of Main and Academy streets. Among the business interests the whole plan meets with general favor | and will undoubtedly have strong sup- port when it comes before the special town meeting for consideration. { * Mission Service for Children.

Woodstock Agricultural Association Adjudged Not Responsible for Ber- nier Boy’s Death, After being only Thursday afternoon the jury case of Joseph George Be: vs. the Woodstock ciety, which has be superior court here 3 turned a verdict in favor of fendant socie out minutes arguments the s s for the ciety, Searls and Torrey, submitted three questions through the court to the jury for answers and a special | verdict. The questions and answers were as follows: 1—Was the negligent conduct of Sseph George Bernier, Jr., (the % killed at the balloon ascension and whose death was the cause of the suit) the direct and probable cause of his death? Answer—Yes 2_Was the person who was espe- cially engagzed by the defendant so- ciety to furnish the balloon ascension and did furnish the balloon ascension George Bernier, Jr., was led an independent contractor in furnishing such ascension? Answer ex 3—Did the performance of the con- tract for the balloon ascension if done in a proper and careful manner ob- viously expose the plaintiff decedent or other spectators to probable cause therefrom? Answer- It will be noted that the jury agreed in the answers to each and every ques- tion with the position token by the attorneys for the agricultural soclety. It was on the t and last question however that the answer was regard- ed as particularly important, as it is held as a rule of law in Connect- icut that under such conditions a set forth in that question the plaintiff would not be entitled to re- cover erstood afler sion of the case that the vote on the first ballot taken after the jury re- tired was 11 to 1 in favor of ihe agri- cultural society, the unanimous result being reached on the second ballot.
