NEW MILFORD.
BUSINESS AT BoARDMAN.s BRIDGE.


 Maryland, or Boardman's Bridge, what was not so long ago simply quiet rural community, is now quite busIling busi- ness center. This is due to the opening of the lime kilns some two years ago by c. B. Griffing of Danbury, who manu. factures the celebrated HousatOnics Val ley brand of lime. MT Griffing's plant was formerly located at Sanfords, but finding finer and more extensive de- posit of lime he located here. Just now they have some three kilns in operation, with an output of 1S0 barrels day The railroad people have just commenced the task of laying spur track to their works, some 2400 feet in length. The location of this kiln here has opened up a market for wood, as they consume about 4000 cords of wood every year. The president and manager of the con- cern is 0. E. Griffing and the snperin- tendent, his son, Andrew w. Griffing.

A RAISE IN THE WATER RATES

A RAISE IN THE WATER RATES.
 The great excitement in Kent just now Is the raise in the water rates. An in- crease of B 1-3 per cent in these hard times has raised considerable of breeze, but at the present writing we are unable to say what the result will be. An indig- nation meeting has been called and prob- ably some severe things will be said, but since spring water lies from 50 to D feet below the surface along the main street, we presume the people will submit but econoulise by cutting off extras. The old rates were $6 for family use; the new $S.

DEATH OF GEORGE LATHRoP.


 George Lathrop died on Friday, the 7th, in the 73d year of his age, having been born March 9, 1922. He had been in feeble health for several years, his dis ease culminating in dropsy and disease of the heart. A very quiet and uneyentful life has closed its account here and pass ed to the Great Beyond. He was kind and obllging neighbor, an affe ctionate husband and father, and a faithful, un- swerving friend. His word was as good as his bond. He faithfully performed all the duties of. life as he was given to un- derstand them. He was always careful and reticent in his speech. No slander- ous remark ever escaped him, nor any profane or uncanny word passed his lips. No neighborhood quarrel everlarose from any word or act of his. If in any respect his life was incomplete here, we may well hope that there Is future where 1t may be made complete. He leaves a widow and daughter, the wife of Edgar F, Burr. His funeral was attended from his late home on Sunday.

THE BEST KIND OF A MEMORIAL.

The village school is very we'll attend ed, this year. Every seat is full and it begins to look as if new room will have to be added in the near future. Kent needs good grammar school and pub lie library. Here is chance for some of our well-to-do men in Kent, who have no children of their own, to do good deed and provide for the same in their wills. IT. they do not like to do it in their life time, it will cost them nothing to provide for it after they are gone and will speak louder than monumental stone in any of Rents cemeteries.
 MIGHT AS WE'LL LEGIsLATE FOR THE
 MOON.
 Just at present we hear voices raised in behalf of flags on our public school houses. Alas the ears of the selectmen are deaf and they refuse ito listen to the voice of the chafmer, charm he never so wisely" We have tried and know. Then again the IS mills tax of the con- ing year knocks out of the taxpayers all the sentiment they ever have had on this subject, and for the time we fear an ap- peal to their patriotism would be receiv- ed about as calmly as asnowsrorm would be by a Greenland Esquimoux. If our legislators do not attach a penalty to their enactments they might as we'll leg islate for the moon.

Ex-Mayor George W. Gardner, of Cleve-
land, George H. Worthington and w. j.
Akers, three of the best known men and
capitalists of that city, and our fellow-citi-
zens, R. B. Carnahan, Cashier of the First
National Bank, and ex-County Treasurer J.
ii. Evans, have made application to the
Secretary of State for franchise for the
Ravenna Street Railway and Power Compa-
ny, with an authorized capital of $50, 700.
The headquarters of the road will be in Ra-
VIENNA, and while no exact route has been
definitely decided upon, the plans include a
line between this city and Kent, Brady and
Sandy Lakes, branch lines to Maple Grove
Cemetery, the Fair Grounds, with probable
connection with Mantua, and possibly with
Garrettsville. The charter will simply COW
er Portage County, and just what townships
within its territory will be "tapped" by the
Company, or what outside connections or
extensions may be made, are necessarily
matters for future determination.
1t is the intention of the incorporators to
push the line to completion in readiness for
early traffic the coming season.
Messrs. Gardner and Akers were here
Monday, and it is intended that the right of
way shall come up before the Commissioners
at their December session.
The petition of the Seiberling Co. will, nj.
SO, it is expected, be heard at the same ses-
sion.
