The same date will see an examination for the post of scientific assistant in mycology, which place is worth from $1,200 to 31,400.

Tollow' .g negotiations that have been going on for some time, the Hop- kine & Allen Arms company bought from Emil M. Fox on Wednesday the property located on Willow and Franklin streets south of the arms company’s present plant. The deeds were filed by Attorney E. W. Higgins for the company Wednesday afternoon. Ore is a quitclaim deed, in which the Hopkins & Allen company assumes a meortgage held by the Norwich Savings society, one the warranty deed, the stamps on which indicated that th sale price was in the neighborhood of $30,600, and the third an assignment of the lease of C. C. Treat, druggist, who is thereby given the right to oc- cupy the premises for 60 days from Jan. 1st, 1916, and to remove at the end of that time his various fixtures, ptate glass windows, etc. The land as described in the deed is rectangular in skape, on the southerly side of Willow street and on the westerly side of Franklin street, extending westerly 78 §-10 feet to the land of the Max Gor- dun &Son's corporation and southerly feet 7 inches to the Benjamin Han- property. it is understood, moreover, that the Hopkins & Allen Arms company has options on this property of the Max Gordon & Son corporation and also on tas adjoining property of M. B. Ring. The purpose of the company in ac- quiring this land is, naturally, to pro- vide for increased factory room in the manufacture of rifles on war contracts, work which will be started in the early of the new year, very probably in February. While the officials of the company did not care to state definite pians Wednesday afternoon, it is un- derstood that there is the possibility gf the erection of a brick or concrete building five storles in height on this newly acquired land. Odd Fellows Will Start to Build. The Hopkins & Allen new building will not be the only new structure to go up very soon on Franklin street, for arrangements have been made be- tween Mr. Treat and the Odd Feliows’ Butl whereby that or- ation ci a building on the sperty which the Odd I red on Franklin stree moro ago, in which building Mr. Treat will occupy one of the two stores that are planned for. The tentative plans for the Odd Fellows' building provide for a building four stories in height, of brickh, with a depth of about 50 feet and a frontage of about the same. Their plot of land, which is at 111 to 113 Franklin street, is without any stanéing structure on it, and so there need be no delay in beginning excava- tion and preparation for building. Just ac the present time the plans provide for just the single story, which it is beiieved can be had ready in time to accommodate Mr. Treat. The founda- ticns for the building will be strong enough, however, to hold up a fovr-story building such as the Odd Feliows will need for their fraternal orgapizations. As has been previously stated, Mr. Fox has purchased the Kingsley prop- erty, which comprises the barn occu- pied by George E. Hodge as a livery stable, and after renovating and re- modeling the place Mr. Fox will install his bakery there, making a consider- able enlargement of the plant at the same time. Plans are being made for two large baking ovens and other equipment. It may be added that it is felit by those who have been concerned in the Hopkins & Allen Arms company’s pur- chases that the sellers have acted in a fair spirit, getting good prices, but not holding out for exorbitant figures. Having done their part in a reason- able way, and with resard to the in- terests of the city, there is the op- portunity now for other citizens to show their favorable attitude toward advancement and progress by giving all the aid possible to the rwich Housing com leavor- et dwe e influx of employes begins and ing the coming months the present time is that has been raised. $20,000 of this having been provided by the arms company, and the remaining $15,000 v about 50 subscribers.

MacDougall, ad- ministrator, v the T. A. Scott com- pany of New London, which has been to the supreme court of errors twice since the case first came into the su- perior court in_September, 1913, was withdrawn on Wednesda: The case was one of unusual legal history. The man MacDougall was killed or died later from injuries received when un- loading spiles from a barge at Fisher's Island. In the course of the trial the udge reserved certain questions for the advice of the superior court, which sent them back to the judge. A verdict for $2,000 was subsequently found, and when a motion to set this aside was remanded, and the verdict sustained, the case was taken to the supreme court once more. An error was found, two agents of the defendant being ad- judged by the supreme court not negli- gent, and a new trial was in order when the case is thus settled and with- drawn.
