PERMANENTPAVEMENT
South Leonard Street People
 May Balk at Assessment.

Is property on South Leonard street, between Washington avenue and Fifth street, valuable enough to stand an assessment for permanent pavement? is question which will soon be put to the interested parties. The department of public works have recommended to the aldermen that hearings be authorized on this matter and when the people are called it will be up to them to say whether they want it or not. To be sure what they say may not amount to much, but it will be interesting to know what view they will take of it. Many often suggested that the street be macadamized, but no move ever was made to put it before the city fathers in that shape. When you consider that macadam is all right on Leavenworth, Canal, Union, Baldwin and other public thorough fares, it is hard to see why any thing more expensive should be re- quired on South Leonard street. But if the city wants to put down permanent pavement there and the abutting property owners show a disposition to meet their share of the cost it is all right.

MILL PLAIN PEOPLE
May Have Third Ticket 10 Gel
 Improvements.

Some of the Mill Plain people feel
 very much put out over the pain
 fully slow movements of the city
 fathers regarding the layout of the
 Meriden and Woodtick roads and
 want to know when these projects
 will be taken up and put through. By the Great Scott" said prom inent citizen of that bailiwick to a Democrat reporter yesterday, we dis carded the republicans for the dem ocrats, but now I think we owe it to ourselves to shake the republicans and democrats and try some other party. We have under consideration the third ticket matter which had its origin in Town Plot and if I have my way Mill Plain will fall into line and give the thing a boost. Just think of it. There is a splendid water service carried from East Mountain almost past our doors clear over to Town Plot where they don't pay cent more in taxes than we do. They got that because they put up big holler. You take my word for it you will hear something drop out Mill Plain way before long and you won't have to keep your ear to the ground to catch on. either. We are paying the first taxation dis trict to the city and ten and half mills of school levy of our own. Now what are we getting from the city? Wouldn't 1t be much better for us to get together and ask to be taken into the second district and pay on the same basis as other do provided we could get water, lights, police and fire protection, sidewalks, sewers and such other improvements as our neighbors have?" The re- porter agreed with him on this point and if the man has the pull he claims to have Mill Plain will soon be in the full taxation district.

FIREMEN TO RIDE FREE.
If the Board of Safety Can Make Terms With Trolley Company.

The board of public safety proposes to make another endeavor to place the firemen of the city on the same footing with the police department in the line of trolley car privileges Tn the first place firemen are considered of more essential value 10 any con- munity than policemen. Every good citizen is considered good police man, but very few good citizens, even of the ultra-good kind does not care to be an active fireman, or fire men when the services of such are needed. In the second place firemen are not as well paid as policemen. Therefore the board of safety at the meeting held yesterday afternoon ap- pointed Commissioners Minor and An drews committee to see the man. agement of the trolley company to secure free travel for men when in uniform. The matter was one oe the last considered by the board and was brought up by Commissioner John Griffin, who sees In this discrimina- ton considerable unfairness to vital department in the city govern ment The tenor of the remarks of the board was to accept no favors from the trolley company, If free travel for the firemen when In uniform is favor.
 Edward ] Clark, member of the Chemical engine company sent in his resignation and 1t was accepted.
 Captain Thomas Lynch of engine company No 1 on Burton street re- ported Tillerman John F. Frederick to have been insubordinate. The board thought that he specific act of alleged lnsubordinatIon ought to have been stated and so voted to inform Captain Lynch.
 Mrs L. l.. Pearsall complained to the board by mall that Pearsallville ought to be given better police pro tectlon.. According to her complaint, Morpheus was a shy cuss last Sunday evening owing to the presence of numerous disciples evidently of Bac- chus. They not only made the well kin ring but would have made three welkIns resound with their nocturnal disturbances had there been that many around. She thought Pearsall- vile was entitled to better protec- tion. The matter was referred to the superintendent of police for in- vestigation.
 This was all the business transacted at the meeting and the board ad- journed to 11:4s Friday forenoon to elect fireman to the vacancy made by the resignation of Fireman Clark and to hear the charge preferred against Fireman BroderlcK.

THE DISTRICT COURT
Attorney Carmody Given Two
 Verdicts Yesterday.

The jury in the district court is very kind to Attorney T. F, Carmody having given him two verdicts yester- day. The first was in the suit of Maligian against Goldsmith where the plaintiff sought damages of $500 and the second was that of James D.. Sweeney, deputy sheriff of Nauga- tuck, against Philip Rubin of Union City. This was suit on Rubin s bond and was the outcome of trouble between Morris Rosenblatt, and his wife Pauline, and her mother, Annie Gilbert. Mrs Gilbert sued Rosenblatt for $700 claiming the money was Il loan which he had neglected to pay back. He held it was given him as her daughters marriage dowry. How ever Mrs Gilbert got judgment for the full amount. Execution had to be taken out against Rosenblatt as he failed to recognize the judgment, con sequently an attachment was levied on his store and Rubin gave his bond thus releasing the attachment. This meant fight on the part of Rosenblatt for by settling he would have spared himself considerable expense. On the date of the sale of the goods to satisfy the judgment, 1t was found that not half of them were there nor financial return for them either, and horse or two and wagons had also been substituted by ones not half as valuable. Mrs Gilbert claim ed fraud. It was, however, up to Sheriff Sweeney to make good his at tachment and he had to sue Rubin's bond The jury gave him verdict for all he asked $373.12. Attorney Root appeared for Rubin.

 A number of Brooklyn girls, the majority of them members of the H. G. l.. whist club are preparing to go on unique trip next week. They intend to go on driving tour through the state.

 -The Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement society will meet again tomorrow evening and the session promises to be just as interesting as that of week ago. The members of the society at their meeting two weeks ago threw the fork, into the city engineer and a couple of the city boards because of the treatment of Brooklyn. They are likely to be even more bitter in their denuncia- tion tomorrow evening because of the action of the bureau of assess ment in failing to submit report to the aldermen on the proposed exten- sion of Clark street and the Brook lynites are no noviees when 1t comes to swinging the sledge.
 The carpenters have started work on the drill tower at the Brook lyn engine house. Contractor Rob- ert Mackie said this morning that in all probability his work would be finished within two weeks, at which time the tower would be ready for painting. The tower will be about sixty-two feet high and will give the firemen all the exercise which they are in need of. Although there has been no money appropriated for the painting of the tower. few dollars will be fished up somewhere in order to complete the job.

PARENTS IN COURT
For Not Sending 1s Year Old
 Girl 10 School.

In the city court to-day before
 Judge Burpee, Robert Doherty and
 his wife Helen were charged with
 neglecting to send their daughter,
 Margaret, to school since May 1S. On
 that date the girl left school and
 went to work. Before this Doherty
 applied to Giles Potter, agent for
 the state board of education to issue la certificate to the child showing her
 to be past school age. Under the statute MT Potter has authority to is-
 sue such certificates to all f0reign
 born children. The Dohertys pro- |duced certificate issued by the school authorities in Scotland show
 ing the girl was born on August &.
 1892. The figure 3 in the date seemed to have been interfered with and MT Potter took the paper for ex- animation. In the course of week
 the girl asked for the paper and it was returned to her. But meanwhile MT Potter had 1t thoroughly examin- ed and concluded that the figure 2 had been 8. The reason for the change was obvious The change
 would make her a year older than she actually was. MT Potter then had photograph of the forged docu- ment taken and then returned 1t to the girl. He next asceetained that the girl had gone to work, and then he went to work also to find out the actual facts in the case. This he did by writing the school authorities in Scotland and in due time he received from them certificate showing the girl was born in Castle street, Pais- ley. Renfrew county. The fat ar,s employment was given as brick field worker. Thus armed MT Pot ter had the Dohertys appear in court to-day to answer to the charge of not sending their daughter Margaret to school. Doherty stated that he had altered the date in the certificate for the purpose of having his girl go to work. I'm hard working man." said he. with eight children, one of them Is chemically i'll and we needed all the help we could get. I now say the girl won't be IA until the 8 of next August" Doherty seemed to bs an honest, clean fellow and is em- ployed by the American Mills com-' pany. The penalty for the offense he was charged with is a fine of $5 week for every week the child was not at school when she should have been. Judge Burpee imposed flne of $10 and costs and pu. Doherty on probation. In the case against Mrs Doherty sentence was suspended.
