 1 William Fitzpatrick, a popular em- I ploye of the Waterbury Buckle Go,
 had an interesting experience in New
 Britain yesterday, where he has been
 as delegate from Court Phelan at the 1 Foresters' convention. MT Fitzpatrick l rented an automobile and took out his
 cousin. we'll known New Britain I young lady. While speeding along | the Plainytlle turnpike an officer ar
 rested him for violating the speed law. l F. H. McKiernan of Waterbury, MT l FitZpatrick's colleague at the conven- 1 ton, heard of the instance and called l upon Mayor Bassett who immediately l ordered the release of Mir Fitzpatrick on the ground that the Foresters had
 the right to do as they wished while there. MT Fitzpatrick was kept busy l for some time purchasing ''forgetfuT'
 connections for his friends, but the story, as usual leaked out.
 Tomorrow afternoon at ? o'clock 1 Real Estate Agent John T. Phelan will
 sell at public auction two twofamily
 houses at the corner of Summit and 1 North Leonard streets. This is a
 rare opportunity for parties who desire
 homes of their own to make good in
 yesbment. The buildings are also we'll | worth considering by men who have a few dollars to put out with a purely
 speculative purpose in view. A house
 that cost anywhere from $2,5OO to $3,-
 500 to build a few years ago cannot be
 put up now for at least $1 ,o0O or $2,-
 900 more than that, so that it Is un-
 questionably good time to buy and
 much cheaper to purchase home al ready built than undertake to build one. If you don't think so, ask some
 contractor and see what he will tell
 you. For further particulars see MT
 Phelan at his office, 42 Bank street
 Take elevator from Harrison avenue.
