The recall was sounded at eleven o'clock.

 A number of people are of the opinion that the new dog laws are in effect since the first day of Au- gust, but this Is not so. It was the date set in the original bill passed by the legislature. but by reason of the manufacturers being unable to supply all the tags that were re- quired and an amendment was passed making the date for the new laws to take effect October l. 1907. But the original bill provides for the appointment of the dog warden not later than August 1, and that is why the appointment comes at such an early date.
 NJ. B. Reidey, one of Naugatuck's representatives in the legislature, ar rived home last evening, after the final adjournment of that body. He said that he was glad the work was finished as he had been attentive to the duties entrusted to him by the people and that out of the 102 days that the general assembly was in ses- sion he had missed only two Fri days and the time he was attending the Elks convention held in Phila- delphia. All this goes to show that he performed his duties faithfully as Naugatuck's representative. It could not be learned tonight just how many days Mir Roberts, the other representative. had spent in Hartford. but it is safe to say that he also performed his duties as we'll this session as he did in the assembly of 1905. of which he was also a mem- Der.
