DR. RODhAN OBJECTS.
Dossh't Want . Board Walk Over His
 Premises.

IfSmISe3.
 Parents of children attending the Mulcahy school, who expected some relief from the board walk ordered laid there running south from Luke street if permission could be obtained from the property owners. feel some what disappointed at seeing the walk constructed along the new street from the school to Baldwin street. The de- sired permission to put the blanks where they are most needed could have been obtained, but the inspector evidently thought the other Side bet Ter spot and concluded to use his owp Judgment instead of the boards. Dr Rodman didn't look with much favor on the proposition to construct q walk through his land, but more suitable way could have been secured from others beside the doctors property clear over to the school lot and also at another point, which would have been even more convenient for every. body until such time as public street IS opened. The vote passed by the board met the situation fully, but the Inspector says he was not aware that any other passable route was avail able on the north side other than through the Rodman tract. It is rath. CT surprising how the school officials got the notion into their heads that ey. cry foot of ground in that district is owned by Dr Rodman and the Tracy Bros Co. What blessing it would be TOT the rast of the property owners if the assessors, and the collector knew as little about them as the school of- ' ficials do.

Meriden and other places. Twelve candidates were initiated into the mysteries of the order and as many names were proposed. District Deputy Reilly con graduated the lodge on the splendid success it has attained and on the work of the intiat0ry ceremony. The visiting ElkS were also enthusiastic over the reception they received and the hospitahle way in which they were treated. Caterer James F. Harrington had made provision for the entertain ment of the Elks and the visitors ill the Military band rooms and right well did he fill the bill. The New Ha-

 long after they had gone away.
 One of the real enlivening social i sesslons followed the regular business of the lodge, this was presided over by ; Past Evalted Ruler John H. Cassidy | and he didn't do thing to the mem.
 bers of the order. The following fur
 nished the entertainment for the eve
 ming: Solo singing by W. J. Hughes, J. B. Moran, C. Adams and J. Dunn. The messenger boy trio now perform
 ing at the Jacques kept the guests in
 good humor throughout the evening
 with songs and funny stunts. One of the hits of the evening was the sing ing by the Elks quartette and as this
 was the first appearance of the quar- tette the boys gave them royal wei
 come. They have been practcine i only q few days but they carried the house by storm last night and only ceased when their voices failed them
 The quartette is composed of Adams first enor, Racket second tenor Thompson first bass and Gaffney sec ond bass. They should become d steady fixture in the community.
 Recitations that were gems in their way were given by Dan Lawlor,
 Charles Ernest and Edgar Allen, Some of the cleverest dancing seen in
 long time was also given by Curley
 and Altman and they were at 1t
 when the last bell was tollng to close
 up. Altogether 1t was a delightful i evening.
