Public Utilities Commission Begins
 IIth Of September
THIS DATE HAS BEEN DECIDED UPON BY THE RAILROAD CORRESPONDING
 FRICTION,

Hartford, Aug. 4-The Railroad Com- missioners will blossom out as pub- lie utilities commission September II, 1911. This Is the interpretation decid- ed upon by Clerk Henry F. Billings of the Railroad Commissioners office. The act creating the commission pro vides for the public utilities commits sion assuming it's duties sixty days after the bills passage. Sixty days from the date of the signing of the bill by Governor Baldwin makes Sep tember II the date of the beginning of things for the commission.
 Although no official announcement has been made by the Railroad Com missioners, it is understood that the Railroad Commissioners will continue to do business of yore until the even ing of Sept em Der 10. Petitions as to railroad matters should still, there fore, be addressed to the board of Railroad Commissioners. No new sub ject, such as are provided for in the bill, can be handled now. One peti- ton has been received addressed to the public utilities commission but it was sent back to the petitioner.
 The powers which the commission CTS now have they will continue to have as public utilities commission. It is probable that any matters left unfinished September II will be car ried on under the change of name, without legal difficulty It is the in- tention, however, to clean the docket as much as possible, and it Is not like ly that there will be large mass of unfinished business on September Il. Assurance has been received that cer- tain appeals which have been hanging fire without making progress, for many months will be withdrawn by counsel.
 When the public utilities commission does meet for business. 1t is expected that there will be plenty of business to meet the commission. Matters which have been reported unfavorably to the General Assembly, because they were considered proper, to come be- fore the commission, will be on hand bright and early to greet the unseen with a cheer" The proposed 10-cent fare from Manchester to Hartford is one of the projects which will prob ably be one of the early birds.

FINE LAWN FETE AT BLACK ROCK CHURCH.
Crowded and Entertainment Greatly Enjoyed.


 Perhaps one of the most remarkable lawn fetes seen in Black Rock for many a year was given by the Mem S League of Black Rock last evening on the Congregational Church lawn. The grounds were more than filled by the large number present.
 Thomas Wardrobe, an honorary member of the league, kindly brought his graphophone with large number of records so that there was plenty of music all the evening, and the au- dience appreciated his selections
 Chief among the salesmen who were kept busy handing out the eatables were Charles Noren, who had charge of the sliced matermelon, and Fred Prevot and Henry F. Bunce, who at tended to the other refreshments. Others who helped make it a success included Frank B. Lucas, Charles Friar, Albert Bergman, Clinton B. Taylor, Nelson B. Harrison, George Buck, Raymond Buck, Sidney Allen and MT. Wilson.
