To the signers Of the petition re-
garding railroad crossings at Hawley-
vile, there seems to be misunder-
standing, some having an idea that it
is for the purpose Of injury to rail-
road employees. I wish to state that it
is not intended as an injury to railroad
employees or any one else, bit 10 have
the railroad company provide such pro-
lection at the crossings as is called for
by the state laws, as several teams
have been frightened by cars left
standing on highway for days at a
time. Any signer that wishes his
name taken off from the petition
should do so before the next meeting

MR. HUBBELL'S OFFER.
HOW THE TAXPAYERS FEEL.

George w. Stuart: In reference to
the offer made by Mr. Hubbell through
The BEE of February Is, rela tive to
road improvement from Depot to
Main street, think his generous
offer. But the question arises, how
can we properly accept this offer
knowing all conditions. This special
road has had a great amount of money
expended on it already, and once I'M
der the direction and skill of very
competent engineer was improved and
underdrained at great expense and to
the satisfaction of the town. In a
short time this road was again in mis-
cradle condition. Many Still wished
it might be improved and kept agita-
ting the matter and the result was the
making of a broken stone road from
depot to the head of Main street. 1t
was expensive but made a fine road
and there is no proper reason why the
road should not be fine hard road to-
day. With the proper care and skill
time and use would not injure it. But
what was done? The road machine
was soon used in dumping muck, dirt
and stones on the top of this nice even
hard finished stone road and the nat
ural elements soon mixed the whole
together spelling the good road and
resulting in much money being thrown
away. Is it right to continue on this
line? First, If we are to have perma-
nent roads made, how proper there
should be a practical knowledge used
in keeping such roads In order. Better

therefore so run, not as uncertainty;
so fight l, not as one that beateth the

The name of Miss Mary @. Richard
son was proposed at the Endeavor
meeting last Sunday evening as an
associate member, and it was suggested
that the names Of Harley and Ethel
Peck be changed from the associate to
the active list.
The social committee of the
Christian Endeavor Society met on
Monday evening and arranged three
sociables for the near future. These
are to be carried out in different way
from the others previously held. The
membership of the society is divided
into three groups somewhat according
to age, the entertainment planned for
the younger members being suited to
members calling for some display Of
wisdom and wit.
After the EndeavOr meeting last
Sunday evening some 80 of the young
people gathered at the home Of Mrs
Jennie Scudder and enjoyed the singing
of hymns, both old and new. The hour
was passed so pleasantly and profitably
that other like evenings will probably
be arranged.
Just IS came to the second in the
series of ''rally" prayer-meetings on

the leader, gave a helpful and able ex-
position of Psalm SO. Earnest words
were spoken by others, and all present,
it was manifest, made determined
resolve that these meetings should not
fail for want of their interest and
support.
The legislative committee on agricul-
ture gave hearing, last week Thurs
day, in Hartford, on the bill concern
ing itinerant vendors, which was intro
duced by Representative Morris
Meyers, of Danbury. The intent Of
the bill is to exempt country fairs from
the operation of the present law. Mr.
Reed of Stafford, tate's attorney for
that county, explained that the law Of
1897 provides that ittnerant vendors
shall pay state license of $500. He
thought the law had been violated.
Representative Meyers spoke in favor
of the bill on behalf of the agricultural
societies, and John w. Bacon, of Dan
bury representing the Danbury Agri-
cultural society, said that strict en-
forcement of the present law would
close up every fair in the state. The
money received from those who pay
rent for space at fairs is needed to sup
port the shows. Charles J. Conrad,
representing the Union Agricultural
society of Huntington, spoke in favor
of the bill and Willis H. Epson of the
Berlin Agricultural society, said that
his society allowed people to sell wares
on the grounds without knowing that
it was a violation Of the law. Fairs all
over the state were affected financially
through people being afraid to sell on
the grounds on account of the exist
ing law. Representative Edward Tay-
lor Of Newtown, for the Newtown
Agricultural society, and Representa-
tive H. l.. Wanzer, for the New Mil
ford fair, also spoke in favor Of Mr.
Meyers bill.
