It will be equipped with 249 feet of ladders.

There will also be one 18 foot, one 16 foot and oné 14 foot roof ladder, one 18 foot inside extension ladder and two 25 foot single ders on the sides of the truck. Other equipment on the truck will be as follows: Two croich poles, 4 fire department axes, 6 pipe poles, assorted lengths, 2 wall pioks, 2 shovels, 1 wire cutter, 1 tin roof cutter, 1 little giant door open- er, 2 pitch forks, 2 Underwriters’ stand- ard fire extinguishers, 4 fire department lanterns, 4 rubber buckets, 175 feet manila rope, tackle and block, 1 12-inch locomotive bLell, 1 siren horn.

The truck will bé 56 feet long, from the end of the ladder to the bumper, this belng 5 feet longér than the present trutk. Were it not for the tfactor which. will form & part of the truck it would be practically impossible to handle it at the central fire station and very difficult to drivé and make turns in the narrow streets of the city. One important feature of the new truck is the fact that it ¢an be run into an alley and the big ladder raised and thrown over the hood ahead of the truck and up agalnst a brilding. . The mew truck fully equipped welghs 16,450 pounds, which is nearly two tons less than the weight of the present horse drawn truck. The engine of the new apparatus is a six cylinder, 105 h.

He points out that there arg things the public may do and things it may not do, Mr. Filley says that Philip P. Wells of Middletown, president of the Connec- ticut Forestry assoclation, recently call- ed attention in a letter of the state po- lice to.the law regarding the unauthor- ized taking and transportation of ever- green trees which provides for a fine of not less than $50 for violation. He asks that this law be strictly enforced to protect forest plantations and natural evergreen forests from damage, The law, Mr. Filley points out, pro- hibits the taking of evergreen trees or branches from the land of another without written permission of the owner or his agent. The taking of laurel, ferns or foliage branches of any kind with- out permission is glso prohidited when the material is to be sold or offered for sale. Any such material exceeding 20 pounds in weight and all evergreen trees or branches transported on the highways or shipped by common carrier must be 5o marked to show the name and address of the owner of the land from where they were taken and the name and ad- @ress of the party gathering them. Mr. Filley says the purpose of the law is to give owners of forest property Ssome protéction against depredatiofs which are becoming increasingly serious. Its principal alm is to prevent the whole- gale removal of évergreen and other dec- orative material for commercial pur- Pposes and without compensation of the owner. The casual gathering of small quan- tities of laurel, ferns, vines (including ground and running pine), or foliage branches othér than eévergreen is not prohibited, but the amount of such ma- terial which may be carried away is re- stricted to 20 pounds. The unauthor- ized taking of a single evergreén tree or branch for private use is, hewever, just as illegal as the removal of a truck+ load to sell. Mr. Wells, in his letter to the superin- téndent of the state police, had pointed oOut that in past seasons the plantations of the New Haven Water Co. had sul fered severely. He asked that highways be patrolled during Deécember and that all automobllés carrying evergreen trees be stopped and examined and the driv- ers arrested and prosecuted if it were found that the law had been violated. Mr. Wells said, in support of his re- quest, that the duty should not be thrown upon land owners, nor should they be compelled to patrol the high- ways, 2 STORRS SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN IN FRACAS HERE Sophomores from Storrs college pur- suing and attempting to capture mem- bers of the freshman class at the col- lege in order to break up the freshmaf banquet which was te have been held at the Wauregan homse precipitated fa merry melee around tlie silent police- man at the bank carner about midnight Saturday. . Two of the freskmen were made cap- tives, one being handcuffed and the oth- er tied up with ropes around his an- kles, when somebody got a punch in the nose and a general fracas followed. Whils the Aggies were in the midst of their entertainment, Sergeant John H. Kane and a squad of police arrived and rounded up the crowd, taking them to police headquarters where ten of them were booked on charges of breach of the peace. All were given their liberty under $25 bonds for appearance In court. Three more of the Aggies were sumoned as witnesses. As near as could be learned, the freshman banqueét committee of three or more, headed by Fred Peterson of Bridgeport, who came here to see about the banquet to be held at the Wauregan house on Sunday night, were followed by abeut double their number of sopho- mores aud the clash was the result. Arrangements had been made to have ten automobiles transport the freshman class here Sunday night but these were cancelled after the fracas and it was understood that the banguet had been transferred to Hartford for Sunday night. However. 2 number of the Aggies were in the city Sunday night, some of them accompanied by young Women, waiting around the lobby of the hotel for a tifme to see if any freshmen would appear. > Those who were placed under arrest for the Saturday night fracas were Cas- tiz Leone, 19, Greenwich; Fred Peter- son, 20, Edmund MeCullogh. 20, Martin J.
