Stratford
YOUNG FOLKS WANT
 DUFOUR'S SKATING POND.
Dam Destroyed Last Year Will Be
 Rebuilt if it May Remain.

Special to The Farmer)
 Stratford. Nov. 25-Edward Dufour who at considerable expense. provided a skating pond for the young people by building dam an his property on the Ferry road, has been waited on by a committee of boys and girls who would enjoy a repetition of MT. Du- four's action last year. It will be remembered that MT. Dufour con- structed a dam which flooded the meadows to a depth of about>8 inches and furnished fine sport for the youngsters until the dam was destroy ed. The place is an ideal spot for a skating pond and the flooding of the meadows for only few inches can work no harm to anyone. The ch1l- dren want it and Mir. Dufour is ready to reconstruct the dam if he has req sonable assurance that it will remain for any length of time. The. young folks are endorsing MT. Dufour's pro- position and If he will make another attempt to furnish them a nice skating pond they will bring influence to pre- vent any interference.

POOL ROOMS MUST PAY TAX

The law passed recently in Hartford. stating that all pool rooms must pay tax on their tables, has evidently not been made known to the operators of pool rooms in this town. The re- cent law states that all pool tables must be taxed while in use while the matter of fact is that none have com piled with the law which went into effect the first of November. A lit- tie warning may save trouble to the many owners in town. There are about 10 pool rooms in the town.
