JERRY BURNS RELEASED
FROM FRUITh CHARGE

Holding that there was absolutely
no evidence to justify the defendant
being held over to the district court
Justice Nugent, at Fruita yesterday.
dismissed the charges against Jerry
Burns and released the man from
custody Burns was charged by Mrs
Hilda Stephenson with having made
improper proposals TO her daughter,
Mary
The prosecution was conducted by
Deputy District Attorney McClintock
while Attorney Samuel y. Wheeler
represented the defense.
The evidence given by the prosecu-
tion was far from convincing or con-
sistent with the charges. Burns COM
pletely established an alibi, making
his presence at the Stephenson home
at the time the offense is supposed to
have been committed improbable.
Burns is a member of a pioneer
and highly respected family of lue
lower valley and has borne a good
reputation, and the friends Of the
family believed that the evidence
would not Justify the serious charges
made against Burns therefore the
outcome Of the preliminary hearing
was not a surprise to the majority Of
the people of the Fruita section.

HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
 MCDONALD IN TOWN
Looks Over Canaans Needs and Will Soon Begin Trunk Line From
 East Canaan to Norfolk.

State Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald, with Clerk Clinton O, Nichols and Engineer Howard s. Porter, of his office, came to Canaan Friday af- ternoon, and put up at The Garfield over night. The party were on a tour of inspection of the various pieces of state road between Hartford and this town, and incidentally taking field notes with reference to other places where state roads are desired.
 Assurance was given The News by the Commissioner that the much-discuss- ed extension of the states trunk line will be pushed, and that the connecting link in that line, between East Canaan and the Norfolk line, will receive early attention. It is not improbable that other sections of the town, where good roads are sadly needed, will receive state treatment iR the not far distant future, especially the main road to Falls Village.
 The Commissioner states that about $1, ,OOo, ,OO0 worth of new roads are now in the works. in this state, and that $9O0, 900 worth will be finished before cold weather. He stated furthermore that Connecticut already has more miles of good roads, percapita of population, than any other state in the Union.
 Commissioner Macdonald, who has been president of the National Associa. tion of Road Builders of the United States. for the last six years, has declin- ed reelection.

 Dr. H. L. Ross. who has held the office of game warden for Litchfeld County for ten years, has declined re- appointment, his term having expired Aug. S1. He gave the commissioners as reason for declining, the urgent de- mands of his dentistry practice and his inability to devote tothe game warden ship the time which it should receive.

LABOR DAY.
In Canaan It Was Day of Rest, With
 Nobody To it,"

NopOuf V ""
 Said a local philosopher, on Labor Day, on observing the general suspen- sion of labor and business about town : "One way to keep people from working on the Sabbath would be to make Sun day a holiday; then nobody would work"
 Businesswise there was little or noth Ing doing in Canaan on Labor Day. Ev- erybody who didn't have to work either dyessed, up and went somewhere, or dressed up and stayed at home. The Great Harrington celebration attracted several thousand Canaanites, who went by auto, by carriage and by train and helped materially to make the affair a success so far as attendance went. The Salisbury demonstration attracted sew eral thousand more, while good many went to Amenia to witness the firemen's tournament and other festivities, The State Fair in Hartford drew few from here, and all in all, the town was left with only small percentage of it's normal population, and no fixed program for observance of Labor Day except to abstain from labor.

The Matter of Good Roads

Interested in good roads? asks the Hartford Post. Have you ever con sid cred the cost of bad roads? Have you ever considered the question of roads at all? We'll, then look at this
 The United States has total of 3, 151,- 570 miles of wagon roads. We have 176,- 429 miles of improved roads, that is, highways faced with granite or some- thing better. The percentage of inn proved roads is 8.2.
 .sOver the roads of this country there are annually hauled to market or to the railway station that feed the market 265, ,00O, ,000 tons of farm and forest pro- duce. This hauling costs B cents per ton, or an aggregate of $432 ,oO0,0 ,0OO. The cost of hauling these same pro- ducts on an improved road is ten cents per mile. If all the roads of'the country were improved it would mean an eeon- omy in hauling alone of $200, ,00O. .OOO year.
 The experts say it will cost &, ,00O, ,OOO,. 900 to put in shape for hauling all the mud roads of the country. This is an enormous sum. and yet moments cal culation will show you that $200, ,000. 900 per year for fifteen years will foot the expense. And that is the amount of the saving in hauling over the improved as against the mud roads.
 Gan you say that good roads are not an economy?
