Receiver Robert W. Perkins of the Shore Line Electric Railway has effected a sale of the trackage of that portion of the road which the superior court gave him permission to abandon, which is the section from Flanders Corner westerly to New Haven including the CheSter and Stony Creek branches. The purchaser is the United States Rail -and Equipment -Co. of Newburgh, New . York, which buys the property as junk and will speedily start to tear up and remove the rails, which will eliminate the last hope of the residents of this section of the state that they might some day have restored to them the trolley service which they have been without since the road stopped operations there when the employes struck in July of last year. : The sale involves $340,000 and has as one of its conditions that the purchaser taking the rails shall restore the roads and highways where the rails are remo;- ed. A time limit of Jan. 1, 1921 has been set for the completion of the contract, but it is anticipated that the work will be finished long before then. It is under- stood that the purchaser has already found a customer for one lot of the rails and will sell off the balance in lots as other customers are found. There are 60 miles of rails covered in the deal, all single track, except for a short distance ,in the city of New Hav- en. From New Haven to lvoryton the trackage is in 70 pound rails, from Iv: orylon to Chestér 80 pounds rails, and from Ferry Road to-Flanders 80 pound rails, making in all about 7,300 tons of rails that are secured by the Newburgh company. The sale has now been approved by Judge George E. Hinman of the superior court and the papers in the transacttion have been passed. The property sold and which is to be removed comprises ‘all trackage and ma- terial, turnouts, sidings, etc., starting from State and Ferry street in New Ha- ven and extending to Old Saybrook; the trackage and equipment to Chester in the town of Chester; the trackage to Guiiford to the end of the Stony Creek line in the town of Branford; from the Ferry road so calied in Old Saybrook to Fland- ers Corner in the town of Kast Lyme at the junction of the road to Niantic and Crescent Beach; all bridges; culverts, etc, and the power house and the machinery and equipment therein at Oid Saybrook. ‘Wiring anl pole lines along this aban- doned section of the road are not includ- ed in this sale, but this is soon to be taken down and removed by the Shore Line employes. said Receiver Perkins on Thursday, as it is not practicable to sell it to be removed by the purchaser. The Shore Line employes will be sent in to do this work and when the wire has been taken down it will be sold.

They say the one-piece suit, a 1a Kellerman, is a common sight and, as for bare knees and short skirts they are fixtures on the beach. People who are staying at the cove resent the notoriety ithat the other beaches are getting this summer owing to the daring bathing suits while Poquetanuck is missing the lime- light which it so well deserves.

Miss Driscoll was born in Franklin on Feb. 11, 1901, and has always lived there. She was graduated from Broad- way grammar scholo with the class of 1916 and entered the Norwich Free Aca: demy, being graduated from that insti- tution Jast June. Since her graduation her health has fajled rapidly. She was a member of St Mary's church in Balti. ~ She possessed a charming personality and was popular with her classmates and friends who are saddened by her death. She is sur- vived by her parents. a brother, John and a sister, Miss Nellie Driscoll, a school teacher in Moosup.

IS NOEWICH IN DANGER OF LOSING ITS TROLLEYS ‘Whether. the desperate = financial straights of the Connecticut company trolley lines, as revealed Thursday at the hearing in Hartford before the pub- lic utilities ‘commission when the com- pany was asking for a seven-cent fare, would apply to the New London divi- sion of the company, which operates the trolley lines in this end of the state, could not be told by local officials of the division Thursday night. Nor could they tell whether the seven-cent fair application was meant to apply here in case the public utilities commission granted it Superintendent Samuel Anderson said he had no information on the subject other than what he had’ seen in the pa- pers as all these matters were handled at the New Haven offices of the com- pany. In a,statement before the utilities com- mission, Judge Waiter C. Noves, chair- man of the road’'s board of federal trus- tees. told the commissioners that the road had gone behind on operating ex- penses $87,000 in the six weeks from June 1 fo July 15, and at that rate the cars could not possibly be kept rum- ning for more than two months longer. and probably not for six weeks more. President Storrs of the trolley com- pany declared that they lost $50,000 in Bridgeport in June and $61,000 over the rest of the system. Superintendent Anderson said he had no figures that would show whether the New Tondon division was making its operating expenses or doing better than that as these were all kept at the New Haven office. REVISED P. 0, SCHEDULE OX FOREIGN MONEY ORDERS The Tnited States government has tak- en official notice of the decline in the value of foreign money and the jikelihood that it would not soon return to its former purchasing power, in an announcement through the nostal department of new conversion values to be effective next month. Postmaster John P. Murphy was ad- vised Thursday from Washington that be- cause of the decided and long continued depreciation of the currency of certain European countries as ®:ompared with the United States dollar it is ordered that on and after Aug. 15, and until further no- tice, postmasters in issning international money orders shall convert the rgoney of the United States in accordance with newly revised schedules. The new sched- ules make the following conversion allow- ances: Great Britain. 1 pound, $4: Nether- lands, 1 florin. 38 cents; Sweden. 1 krona. 24 cents: Denmark. 1 krona. 20 cents: Norway. 1 krona. 20 cents: France, Bel- gium and Italy, $1 is rated at the value of 10.30 francs. Depreciation in foreign currency has been noted by banks and business houses for many months, but the government through its postal conversions has contin- ued to maintain the old standards until it became very evident that . .there was a likelihood of a protracted delay in retyrn- ing to the former face values. The Eng- lish pound was formerly rated at $4.87 by the government, but in business circles it has fluctuated between 33 and $4 during the last two or three years. STATE NATIONAL GUARD NUMBERS ONLY 230 NOW Wonnecticut has about 250 members of the National Guard, according to figures given out at the office of the adjutant general Thursday. The men are in the two cavalry troons—Troop A of New Ha- ven and Troop B of Hartford—and the field artillery battery at Branford. The battery has not yet been foimally must- ered into the National Guard, but at the time it was inspected it was unofficially announced that the battery was satis- factorv. It is believed that the press of work at northeastern department headquarters as the result of the examination of re- serve officers for commissions has re- sulted in the delay of the report on the Branford unit. Captain William R. Den- nison, of Norwich, who served with the Fifty-Sixth heavy artillery .in which tiie coast artillery units of tre old Connecti- cut National Guard were merzed when the war broke out, now has a company of eighty-one men at Norwich ready to be inspected for the National Guard on next Tuesdajy The Nationa! Guard of -the country is at present 128,000 men &hort of its au- thorized strength. New TYork state, which has 7,635 men has the largest en rollment of anv state, but still' has only about one-third of jts quota. The guard is increasing at thg rate of about 8,000 men a month, acprding to figures is- sued at Washington, which means that it will take fourteen months to fill the ranks of the National Guard to its au- thorized strength. Only twenty-three states have over 500 National Guards- men in service. CALLS DR. BLACK ToO BUBONIC PLAGUE CONFERENCE State Commissioner of Health Dr. John T.
