 THE REIGN or Dusr Hartford has the dust plague we'll as
 New Haven, and seems to be in the same
 fix as regards street watering. The Courant
 says, under the caption "The Dusty Streets"
 The wind bs. in fierce gusts yesterday. and t
 need to read of sand stofms; you could go M out and get one. The remedy. after reducing the dirt to
 Ss in
 here in Hartford the whole matter of street sprink
 prise. Fay your money to tho man who does shat
 work and you get the water in front of your prop
 share of neighbor's dust The city itself ought
 M % o .Ss | public duty as well as personal convenience to l be rid of It..
 BOUGHT AND BURNED THE NETS. | The nets belonging to Charles Curtis, Rus.
 sell Curtis, Dexter Derby and George Derby,-
 the men who were caught netting fish at
 Bantam Lake. in Litchfeld, a short time
 ago by Detective Fielding, were condemned
 on Saturday, and on being offered at auction | according to law, were bought by Lawyer E.
 P. Roberts for tho Connecticut Association
 of Farmers and Sportsmen for the Protection
 of Game and Fish. Usually in such cases
 the offending parties have bought their nets l back again for 50 or 70 cents and continued
 to use them. The association. however, got
 ahead of the law-breakers in this case by
 bidding higher, and the nets were then
 promptly burned @ the association has no
 use for them. Thus the men, besides being | fined have lost their nets and will not be
 likely to try it over again.
 | GRADE CROSSINGS.
 Tho Waterbury Republican of yesterday
 says: Dr. E. P. Gregory as we'll as others
 who drive great deal considers one of the l worst grade crossings In the state to be that
 made by the Now England road over the
 street just below the Waterville station. Dr.
 Gregory's solution of the abolishinR of this
 railroad crossing would be to carry the New
 England track to the south little, from
 point beyond the present crossing, then join
 ing the tracks of the Naugatuck railroad.
 crossing above the street at point where
 such a crossing could be made eheaply be-
 cause of the position of the land on either
 side of the street. Both railroads would
 then enter the city on the Naugatuck tracks.
 Dr. Gregory's suggestion is commended to I Eu0{nAaPa Haraaha1 and
