Mayor Meguire's plan to give Douglas fine ten acre public park is making excellent progress and ap- pears to be nearing realization A heretofore outlined in this paper he wants to have the five acres about the pumping station improved and parked and five acres added to it. the whole to become pleasure place and garden spot for the people of this city With this end in view Mir Mcguire took up with the di- rectors of the International Land and Improvement company the question of that company giving 10 the city five acres adjacent to the land the city owns at the northeast end of town. To this request he has re ceived favorable replies and today told a representative of this paper of the success that has been attend ing his efforts He stated that the company was willing to give the city the land he had asked, providing the city would proceed to park and i'm prove it. and the present holdings that it has.
 MT. Mcguire hopes 10 see some trees set out shortly and the work Of improvement started and continued gradually until in time the parking shall be completed.

Town Business Meeting Lays 15 Mill Tax-ApprOpriates $50 for Me- mOriaI DaY-PrOVides for More New Bridges Next Year.

At 9 o'clock Monday afternoon the business town meeting was called to order, in the upper hall, John B. Reed was chosen moderator, and Wallace Canfield clerk, and the various items mentioned in the call were acted upon. J. Henry Rorabaok suggested that inas- much as a considerable number of the voters had not yet arrived, the meeting consider first, the last item, "any other business, and moved that in future the polls at town elections be opened at 6 o'clock, to accommodate those who might desire to vote before taking the first trains out of town. The motion was carried.
 MT. Reed then gave a summary of the town reports, which were accepted, on motion of E. s. Roberts,
 Selectman Peirce reported on the matter of new bridges, that it was thought best to defer the building of the bridge near Levi Bronson's, which was voted last year, in view of the prospect of the making of the state road from Norfolk, and build the bridge after the state road is finished. The bridge near Archie Adams is practically com pleted, and will cost the town about $1 500, not including the concrete. The bridge about to be placed over the Koa- kapot river will cost the town probably from $500 to $70o. Repairs on Butchers bridge had not yet been paid for. as the work was not finally completed until within the last week or so, and the cost will be in the neighborhood of $500.
 On the representation of MT. Reed that the money from taxes will not be available until spring, it was voted to authorize the selectmen to borrow not to exceed SIC, 900 as temporary loan, to meet the town expenses, and specific appropriations vera voted as follows: Roads and bridges, $5,0Oo, which will provide for the building of one or two new iron bridges to replace worn-out wooden ones paupers, $l 800; interest $3, 200; town officers, $500; general ex- penses. @, 1000; town team, $500 library, $50 military tax, $500 state road re- pairs, $500: schools, $9,5o0: Memorial day, $50, a total of $22, 900.
 A tax levy of 15 mills was voted, the same as last year, on motion of MT. Roberts, It was voted to pay off one of the $1, 900 railroad bonds and thus get return of $500 from the state.

FIRE WARDEN WARNS
Hunters to Exercise Caution in the
 Matter of Forest Fires

State Forester and Fire Warden Spring has issued notice to hunters in this state, asking cooperation in the prevention of forest fires. The notice continues
 "There are losses each year from fires started by the careless dropping of light ed matches, cigar or cigarette butts by persons passing through the woods. Such carelessness is punishable by fine and imprisonment, and this and other fire laws are being enforced. .4@.~.
 "From September 15 to November 15 fires in or near woodland must not be kindled without permit from the local warden, nor is it lawful to kindle fires on public or private land without per mission from the owner
 "Other New England states have a law by which the governor can close the hunting season if drought prevails. If every one hunting in the wood is care full we need no such law in this state in order to prevent fires in our woodland.
 "One ought to be more careful about throwing down lighted matches or cigar and cigarette stubs In the woods than he is in his own home. Don't knock out the "heel" of your pipe into the dry leaves, Connecticut has plenty of bare flat rocks, and it takes but moment to lay a cigar or cigarette butt down there and stamp out the fire in it.
 "If any one comes across fire let him notify the nearest fire warden or, mach better, get help himself and put it ont"

A.LAST APPEAL
Shall the Effort to Secure Vault Go
 for Nothing?

Mrs. Mary 0. Corbit, who has labored assiduously for long time, to interest the citizens in the very laudable project of constructing a receiving vault at the Lower Cemetery, has become almost discouraged at the apparent indifference of some of our people to the undertak- ing, and is almost persuaded" to abandon the idea. It will be necessary to raise about $1 TOO to carry out the or1gi nal plans, and something like $400 is already definitely available, Mrs. Corbit having headed the subscription paper with liberal figure.
 There are plenty who promise to sub- scribe as soon as the list is we'll started, but decliue to be among the first and are indefinite in stating the amounts they are willing to give. Nobody questions the desirability of having a receiving vault, and very few, if any, express un- willingness to subscribe. The lukewarm- ness of the people toward the necessity of immediate cooperation, however, is 0AAoeASASAoS0OAJ VI 0AiO BtOJCSVOAS OA OAC movement, and is manifestly unfair to the lady who has devoted so much of her time to the work of setting it in motion, and given freely of her money as we'll as her labors, in the worthy cause. It has come to the point where she feels that the public should support the undertaking without further daily ing, and she has decided to make one more appeal. If this is not needed, she will drop the whole matter, and the much to be desired acquisition of vault at the Lower Cemetery will be deferred indefinitely. It is to be hoped the fol- lowing letter will have the effect of waking up the people of the town to realization of the necessity of imme- diate attention to this important matter :
 "Will all who are interested in having receiving vault built in the Lower Cemetery, notify either Ct. W. Parsons or myself through the mail or other wise, how much money they will give toward it.
 "The plan is drawn and man engaged to begin the work as soon as pledges are secured.
 ''It will soon be too late for that work this fall, so please be prompt.
 "Mary O. Oorbit, President.

Desperate Mothers Resolve

"T'llbe good no more," sobbed Mrs. Jennie Burns as she left the Probate court, "When get out, I'll raise the deuce." 1t was 8 mothers protest against separation from her child, says the Post. Although young woman, Mrs. Burns has not followed closely the straight and narrow way and is now in jail for the second time within con- paratively recent time. She was con- mitted from the City court last week.
 Her business in the Probate court Thursday morning was to protest against the commitment of her 10-year- old daughter, Annie, to home. Her plea to Judge E. F. Hallen was more for her own release from jail than for her little girl. but she broke down complete- ly when she heard the judge say that he would commit Annie to the County home.
 She cried as if her heart would break and refused to let her daughter go from her embrace for several minutss. The scene touched the heart of Judge Hallen so that he left his office while mother and daughter said goodbye for a few years time.

Seven Wet Towns Go Dry and Five

Seven Wet Towns Go Dry and Five
 Dry Towns Wet
 Town election results show little in the way of surprises, except in about twelve towns where hot contests devel- oped over the question of license. Seven towns-Canaan, Falls Village, Cornwall, Plymouth, New Hartford, Chester, Bol- ton and Stonington that were lined up with the ''wets" last year, have Topped over and are now numbered among the "drys." On the other hand the license advocates went into the camp of the enemy with much vim and came off vic torious in five towns that last year sold no liquor. These five towns were North Canaan, Killingly, Litchfield, Griswold and Killingworth. This makes a net gain of two towns for the no-license ad- vocates. the total number of ''dry'' towns being 95 as against 73 "wet. " Last year the total was 93 no-hcense and 75 license.

Had MeIIen's Sympathy

President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford, whose recent jest over his sometime retire. ment from that position gave rise to no end of speculation on the part of the general public. is somewhat of stickler when 1t comes to giving promiscuous in- terviews, so the story goes, and his somewhat terse replies are often as pointed as the questions asked him.
 A reporter seeking an interview re- gently did not know MT. Mellen, and on being told the New Haven's president was busy in his office waited in the corridor. Presently two men came out, one of them Timothy E. Byrnes, first vice president of the road, recognized by the reporter, who figured on his com panion being MT. Mellen. On the side walk he stepped up to the president and said, "Mr. MelIen, I believe-I'm the representative of the" ''You have my sympathy" came the reply, as the two railroad men stepped into a cab.

GAVE QUART OF HIS BLOOD.
Ordeal of Eugene Williams Saves Life
 of Child

Eugene Williams has returned from New Haven, where he voluntarily sub- mitted to an ordeal calculated to test his nerve and even risk his life. He went upon the operating table, in the New Haven Hospital and without anesthetic of any kind, had long and deep incision made in his arm. from an artery in which quart of his blood was trans fused to the veins of an 8-year-old niece who was practically dying. For four hours he lay, motionless, while his heart gradually but steadily pumped the life giving fluid from his system into that of the suffering child.
 During the process, which was anx- iously watched by number of physi- clans, the recovery of the child could be distinctly observed. Life and color showed themselves more and more clearly. and at the end of four hours it was plain that her life was saved, by the blood of the sturdy young blacksmith.
 MT. Williams was then released from his painful position, the tapped artery skillfully joined and fourteen stitches were required to close the wound in his arm The loss of quart of blood had left him very weak, and he renamed in the hospital over night.
 The experience was painful one, but he expresses himself. naturally, more than compensated by the satisfaction of knowing that the giving of his blood actually saved the life of his little niece.
