 There is considerable inquiry among the res idents on the plain as to the reason why the Col ony street school property has never as yet been connected with the sewer. Two years ago this summer a sewer pipe was laid from the june. tion of the main sewer on Quinnipiac street up Colony street to the north end of the school property, and it was generally understood at the time that the main object of the sewer was to carry away the sewage of the Colony street school house. The pps was laid from the sewer to the corner of the school property and there the matter stopped, although there is not a place in the borough that needs sewer connec- tions more than the Colony street school prop erty. There are many who ascribe the many cases of illness, especially scarlet fever, among the children who have attended the school to the lack of sewerage, and if the board of health would pay visit to the school property and make thorough investigation of it's present surroundingsit it is probable that some immediate action would be deemed necessary. The scarlet fever is still raging here and cases are being reported and it behooves the authorities to take every precautiOn to prevent the spread of this as well as ether diseases in our midst, and it is considered poor policy for the sake of saving a few dollars to endanger the health of 300 chil- dren in public school as seems to be the case

Halls team figured in runaway yester- day afternoon Roi Taicott had just unloaded 8 the team alone on Main street when the horses started of at an easy pace toward home.

 Strong suspicion has been awakened about town that poker joint was about to be estab- lished here. Things looked that way and the appearing stranger in town recently and his evident intention to locate something of the sort awakened decided objections and the prospect is that no poker joint will be allowed in this lati tude, no matter whether Meriden tolerates this kind of thing not, and the Law and Order league here recently organized will doubtless keep. clear Of any institution of this description.
