sarbed Wire Fence Law Ignored

In a discussion of laws, that was being held Thursday in an office, one citizen was curious to know why vio-
 latiOns of the statutes of the com
 monwealtb were permitted to go un- punished right here in the city. The particular cited was the one with ref
 erence to the maintenance of barbed wire fences. 1t was stated that at least two such violations of the law were allowed to go unnoticed right here in the city of Willimsntic. It is said that there is barbed wire fence oh Church streeet near the sidewalk and that there is another on Walnut street. If anyone should be injured by these harbed wire fences in all probability they would be removed by the owners or some person with au- thority The fences in question have been in existence for a number of years

Spinning frames mules and other machinery now occupying these floors is to be re- moved to make space for the hundreds Of looms that are to be installed and operated.
 The removal of the old machinery is big job and will require several weeks to complete. It was said at the mill Thursday that it is hoped to get IL out m TOUT weeks time, however. 1 Heavy drays are being used to cart the machinery to the local freight yards, where it is being loaded on cars for shipment to different points.

 In view of the large number of new looms to be put in, some changes are to be made in the arrangement of the shafting, etc.
