TAYLOR MAY ACCEPT
Has Net Resigned, But Only
 Sought Mayors Advice.

Franklin A. Taylor, who was ap- pointed commissioner on the board of public safety has not actually re- signed, or refused to accept the posi- ton. As was said yesterday, he wrote the mayor about the matter and de- clined to make any statement. To- day the mayor gave out that MT Fay" Tor wrote him to the effect that he feared he would not be able to attend to the work of the board and that the matter is still under advisement.
 It is rumored that Mir Taylor's real reason for not accepting the appoint ment is that being ill the minority, he would be merely figurehead on the board He was once before on the minority on the board and he ought to have recOllected that he had lots of fun. Once or twice he attempted to nail the majority in q matter 0f great public importance at the time, for in- stance the trial of Supernumerary Blansfield. who was charged with neg lect of conduct during the trolley strike.
 Mir Taylor is hardly the one who would sit by and see the other com missioners do all the work. He had lots of fun, though in the minority when he was last on the board of safety, and it is very probable that he will reconsider his evident determina- ton and accept Mayor Thoms' ap- pOintment.

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Oath Administered By Assistant
 City Clerk IawI0r.

Mayor Thoms presided at the meet ing of the board of public works yes terdayl afternoon. The oath of office was administered to the board by As sistant City Clerk James R. Lowlor.
 The members talked over various matters and decided that from now on all work forwarded to the bureau of engineering must be taken up Ill its turn, unless otherwise ordered by the board. This will do away with the charge of favOritism and give all square deal. Superintendent kll- duff of the street department was heard regarding sidewalks With the appropriation made for that purpose it will be possible to construct about five miles of sidewalks. He suggest ed the use of cement and curb and tar walk This is the kind the depart ment has been using and it was decid- ed to continue to use that kind of material.
 The matter of removing the light from Printers court was discussed and while nothing definite was done about it, it would appear from what was said the light will continue to do business at the old stand. It was decided to hold hearings on Fcbru-- ary 4, 1908, on the layout and grade of Jefferson street from the present terminus to South Elm street on the layout, grading and establishment Of building lines on Irion street from Walnut to Oak; on the layout, grading and establishment of building lines on South Main street from City cor ners to the Naugatuck town line. Thomas F. Martins application for the position of caretaker of the clock in the city hall was tabled.
 Application for plumbers license went over until the proposed new ordinance is passed. A communication from Collector Reeves regarding abate- ment of $G4.49 interest on water bill for the railroad company was referred to MT Kennedy for investiga- tion.
 A number of petitions for new work were received. The matter of finish ing Washington, Fairmount Madison and Luke streets, and Sylvan avenue, was brought up. It was stated that some of these streets were ordered laid out many years ago and that practically all the money due the city from assessments has been paid. and yet the work has not been attended to. These and other projects of the kind will, in all probability, receive some attention in due season.
 The board adjourned for week.

COVER THE BEER
Sunday Delivery Will Be Closely
 Watched in the Future.

Hereafter if you have a load of beer to take through town on Sum- day it will be as well to take 1t by the invisible route for if anyone Is seen accompanying a load of beer on the streets on Sunday he will be arr rested.
 This matter was brought before the attention of the board of public safety yesterday afternoon by Con- missioner Minor. He complained that 1t is most disgraceful sight to see load of beer going through the streets on a Sunday exposed. It was against the law and against the or- dlhahce and most offensive to the sense or sight. There was no excuse Tor 1t he said and it is about time it should be stopped. It is not work or mercy nor work of necessity and that was all s to it.
 This matter, brought forward in this way, caused somewhat of sur- prise around the table. No member onered any objection at all to the proper enforcement of the laws and It was referred to the superintendent or police. To-day Superintendent Beach was asked what he was going to do about if and he said that the
 't load of beer going through the streets on Sunday exposed, he will run 1t in and the driver or accompan- lst along with it. He said that the only way hereafter by which anyone can take a load of beer through the streets of this city on a Sunday is by the invisible line, for it will not be tolerated exposed. The superintend- ent considered this fair warning to all those who may be interested Commissioner Minor was present when he made the declaration which took place in the police station.

Colds were a habit. and the doctors said that my lungs were affected. my throat was bad. and that I should change climates. My vitality was so low that I caught colds very easily. and suffered for weeks every winter with bronchitis. Finally my attention was called to Linonine and was prevailed upon to try it. For the first time in years l went through a winter without a cold. All the soreness is gone from my lungs. the membranes of my throat are free of eatarrh- al collections. nay voice is clear and strong. and I have gained sixteen pounds in weight Lino- nine is the only medicine I have taken in a yesr-I give it all the credit for my restored health

WHEAT YIELDS
HOLDING GOOD
Big Acreage of Summer
fallow for Next Crop.

r. W. Hickok, the grain buyer
was out this week for a couple of
days drive through the Eight Mile,
Gooseberry and lone wheat dis
tricts.
In speaking of the trip Mr..
Hickok said:
81 was greatly surprised to see
the amount of summerfallow this
year. | would judge that almost
two thirds of the tillable land is
now under summer fallow for next
years crop which would indicate a
large crop for next year
81 find that summer fallow this
season is much better cared for
than last year. Farmers are be.
ginning to realize that better farm
ing means better results.
"Theo. Anderson, Herb Oldep,
Dan Barlow and others are doing
good work on their summerfallow.
noticed one field where the
weeds had all been cut and roller
was being used to pulverize the
soil in order to hold the moisture.
II found the wheat yield turn
ing out fully as we'll as expected if
not little better. Those who ex-
pected to have Is to Is bushels to
the acre are getting from 20 to %
bushels, few fields going as high
as 25 bushels.
"Although the acreage this year
was much less than last year, with
present conditions and prices, the
farmers should not complain"
