WILD CARROTS.

The Statute to Enforce the Abatement
of the Nuisance is Not Needed.
Section 1,574 of the general statutes of
Connecticut, revision of 1888, provides
that every owner or possessor of lands
shall cut down ali wild carrots thereon
and in the highway adjoining so often
as to prevent their going to seed. 1t
also makes it the duty of any grand
juror upon the complaint of any citizen
of the town where such lands are sit
uated, to notify the owners or possess
sors of land of such complaint, and pro-
vides penalty for neglect to comply
with the statute by a fine of not more
than five nor less than one dollar for
each day of such neglect after notice.
This statute was originally adopted
in 1881. 1t is a meritorious one in ev-
cry respect and should be enforced. 1t
must be enforced in order to effect the
accomplishment of it's purpose, to wit:
The eradication Of the wild carrot
The wild carrot is absolutely value
less and positively an expensive nuts
ance. Like most weeds, it thrves when
neglected. 1t multiplies rapidly, being
heavily seeded with seed that scat
tiers easily. To abate the nuisance it
creates will require the united effort Of
all controlling land in the community
where it exists, The appearance of the
highway and of the fields In many 10
calities indicates that the statute is
not being enforced.

A GREAT GAME OF BALL

Expected When the Aldermen and
Councilman Cross Bats.
The aldermen and councilmen are
planning a battle of the bats which is
to take place in the near future and
some heretofore unheard of feats on the
diamond are looked for when the match
comes off. The opposing mines will be
made up of members from each board,
a councilmanic nine and an aldermanic
nine. There will be no motions of adj
journment or points of order entertained
and each windy orator can do all the
talking he wishes to in roasting the op-
posing team
The councilmen met last night after
the adjournment of their regular ses-
sion and appointed a committee of five
to look after the councilmanic end of
the arrangements for the game. The
committee consists of Councilmen
Keane, Gallagher Greenfield, Rice and
Connln.
A motion was made that Anthony
Carroll be elected official umpire, but
President Miller, who presided at the
baseball meeting, refused to entertain
the motion. 1t was voted to request
Assistant City Clerk Martin to act with
the committee of arrangements
