TO BUILD THROUGH LOTS.

Latest Report About Plainville-South-
 ington Trolley.
 The officials Of the Central Railway and Electric company of New Britain have decided to build the trolley line to Southington. It will not be built through the streets of Planville, but will be on private property which the electric company is to buy. The pro- posed line will join the line of the Gen. tral Railway and Electric company of Mountain View, some distance out of Plainville, and will run east of Wilbur Higgins property for some distance and thence to Dunham's corner in South- ington There will be no objection from the people of Southington as to the con- struction of the line from that point on in Southington street. S
 By adopting this route the company will save several thousand dollars, as It can use 1-4-inch rails and will not have to maca mize between the tracks. A distance of three-fourths of mile will he saved and fifteen minutes in running time. People living in Plain- vile will have to go to Mountain View near White Oak to catch car on the new line. Engineer w. H. Caldwell was at work yesterday surveying the route. Hartford Courant

GOTERNOR'S PROCLAMATION
May 5 Appointed for Arbor aud Biri
 Day.

Hartford, April Ex-Governor Louns- bury has issued the following:
 State of Connecticut,
 By His Excellency,
 George D. Lounsbury, Governor.
 A PROCLAMATION.
 In obedience to statute instituted by an enlightened public sentiment, I here by appoint Friday, the fifth day of May, as Arbor and Bird day.
 And I recommend to all the people that on that day, so far as vocation and opportunity permit, they give some time to the planting of trees or of shrubs, and to the practical illustration of the truth that with a higher civili- zation comes a kindlier regard for our birds.
 And I especially recommend to all the teachers of the state that on that day they so give instruction and direct the exercises of the schools that the children may take increased interest in forestry, feel in their hearts a re- sponse to all that is kind and gentle in Nature, have a higher appreciation of the innocent and beautiful birds that sing in our forests, and nest about our homes, and SD give glad obedience to all protecting laws.
 Given under my hand and seal of the state, at the capitol in Hartford, this nineteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine, and of the independ- ence of the United States the one hun- dred and twenty-third.
