More About Sidewalks.

The Board of Trustees of Columbia
adopted the following resolutions at
last nights meeting.
Whereas, 1t is the opinion of this
Board that cement sidewalks should be
built out each of the four principal
streets to the town limits, but this
board does not think it necessary to
have same built on both sides from the
old town limits.
1t is therefore resolved, that, if the
property owners on each street will
agree on which side Of their respective
streets such work should be located and
the owners of the property on the OPP
posite side of said streets from which
walks are to be built will agree to con-
tribute to the building of the walk
directly across the street from their
property sum equal to twenty per
cent of the amount it would cost to
build walk in front of their respec-
tive properties (said cost to be estimat-
ed at the rate of fourteen cent per
square foot) then such property own
ers so contributing shall be exempt
from building sidewalk for period of
five years. 1t is further resolved that
the Board at the regular May meeting
will consider the recommendations so
made and pass ordinances for the build
ing of said sidewalks.

and it struck him on the nose, breaking
loose the cartilage. He came to the
city Immediately for medical attention.
Although the injury caused him little
pain at the time, it was considerably
swollen and it will be several days be-
fore he can take active exercise

SUES FOR LOVE OF DfAb1MAN

Connecticut Court Has Problem in
 Breach of Promise Case.
 One of the Stvangest suits ever brought in the superior court of New Haven county was that heard before Judge shumway. It is an action brought by Adelaide Cumming tDavis) against Ru- bin Fax, now dead, and the question to be decided is whether or not a breach of promise suit can be maintained after the person sued is dead.
 Msss Cumming, in February, 1908, brought suit against MT. Fax for $10,000 for breach of promise, and at that time the defendant filed bond of So, ,000. In August last MT. Fax died, and now the plaintiff seeks to recover the full amount from his estate. It was stated in court that while Mir. Fax left an estate in New York, the suit might be maintained here, where it was brought.

MORE ROOM FOR THE HILLCREST
 HOSPITAL
Will Have 72 Rooms When New Build
 ing is Completed.

ing is Completed.
 Hillcrest Surgical hospital has con- pleted arrangements, and building oper- ations have already started for a new additional building of IS rooms on the lot adjoining the main building on the east. The nurses home of 20 rooms re- gently completed and furnished, will adjOin the new building as it is on the lot next to it. The three buildings will be connected by wide corridors and the whole three buildings practically thrown into one of 74 rooms.
 The capacity of the hospital has been taxed for the past few months and the addition is needed now, although it will not be ready before September. As only surgical cases, diseases of women and fractures and dislocations are taken at the hospital and the average stay of a patient is only two weeks, this added room for patients will permit the insti- tuition to do much more work than formerly, although over 800 operations were done in the hospital the first year and 560 patients cared for.
 The remarkable success of this local institution is such short time speaks we'll of the favor in which it is held by the public as patients come here from different states, cities and towns for treatment. The elevation and clear bracing atmosphere of the "Berkshires' aid materially ill the rapid convalescence of patients after operations and some come here probably for this reason.

CANAAN-LIAIE ROCK

The Lime Rock team took Canaan into camp Wednesday to the tune of 2-l |, It was one of the best games that has been played in the league this summer and was closely contested throughout. The Canaan boys brought home a grudge against umpire Morgan of Great Burlington, who they say gave Lime Rock the advantage on every decision. Frank Stanton occupied the box for Canaan for the first time this season and pitched an extra fine game, allowing only four hits. He struck out thirteen men. Traver the Lime Rock twirler also did himself credit allowing only six hits and striking out 12 men. Of the three hits taken from him Percy Stanton made three and the latter's batting was one of the features of the game. Scott's playing on second was also feature of the game as he had eight chances and accepted them all without an error There was a good crowd out to see the game and considerable enthusiasm was shown.
