NORTH WILLOW STREET
Bitch iR Trolley Car Service on
 Account of Paying.

Poor old North Willow street! Once more 1t is in a terrible condition but only for short time. The War ren Bros Co and the trolley company have the street torn up so that it Is scarcely. recognizable, but better things are coming. Because the War ren Bros concern Is paving the street at present the cars can not use the double tracks between Johnson and Ridgewood streets, but depends on making its time by cross overs. One is at Johnson street and the other near Woodlawn terrace. Of course there are many delays with the Wa terville, Thomaston and Highland park cars on the line, but considering the conditions the schedule is well carried out. Automobilists will not find 1t very pleasant going up the street at present for between Hillside avenue and Johnson streets in places 1t is almost impossible for an auto- mobile to get by.

 Hartford, Aug 13.-Desplte .the fact that Heman o. Averill. com missioner on domestic animals, has sen; out two requests for lists of the various town dog wardens there are 10 towns which have not sent in the desired information as yet. The delinquent towns are East Hartford, Easton, Fairfield, Lebanon, Madison, Salem, sherman, Somers, Spragus and Weston. The law says that ''the selectmen of every town shall annually on or before the first day of April, appoint some per son to be dog warden, for a term of one year thereafter" There is no provision in the acts. however, for a penalty on the selectmen in case they fail to appoint a dog warden and so 1t Is that in some instances DO officers are chosen. Some towns complain that 1t Is next to impossible 10 find a man to take the place and therefore have made no appoint ments. All town officials have the right to secure person for the position from any other town that they desire as it Is not necessary to have the dog warden a resident of the tovn for which he Is appointed.
