EXTENSION OF BOROUGH LINES
Proposition to Take in Property Val
 ued at $1o0,oo

4 proposition was heard Tuesday for the extension of the borough lines so as to include property on the extreme east of Hawkins and Reynolds street. that part of WestfieId north of the present northerly boundary of the borough and to noint including Judd avenue, so called, and all of Industrial place. A conservative estimate of the value of the property that would com e within the limits of the borough under such a rearra ngement of the lines is in excess of $100.000
 The argument for the extension is that practically all of the property that would be brought into the bor- ough under such an arrangement is at the present time. in greater part, re- ceiVing the benefits of borough gov ernment. yet pays no borough tax The owners of the property in question ex- pect, and would receive. fire protection in case of need. They enjoy the bene- fits of street lighting service almost as wholly as borough residents and could have, on coming into the bor- ough, such extensions of the lighting system as is required.
 As to police protection. the property and the persons living In the areas referred to receive as much attention now as any other than the business section of Danielson.
 By bringing the property indicated into the borough the revenue from tax alton would be considerably increased the increase Nn the borough's size. those now living within the borough and paying taxes would not have to bear all of burden, q part of which. they hold, rightly rests on those prop erty holders who benefit with them In the enjoyment of borough govern nent
 Poke Fun at Change of Name.
 The action of the annual borough meeting in voting to change the name of Mechanic street to Connecticut Mills avenue caused much comment Tues day, not all of it favorable. The bulk of the criticism is that the change that has been made gives the street a cum bersome name and that it was made without consulting the wishes or de- sires of property owners along the street Most of the citizens of the borough, however have given the change of name little consideration Incidentally the matter has led to deal of testing along the line of sug- gesting new and fantastic names for about every street in Danielson: for example. Coburn boulevard to Lead, Kindly Light, avenue, Broad street to The Speedway.

The following from Mondays Hart ford Times is one of the sharpest com mentaries on the Willinantic ice sit nation and citizens think the editor of the Bridgeport Telegram might back slide from his municipal ownership doctrines after he read it carefully:
 The mayor told The Times report CT Friday evening that Willard H.

He knows where there is plenty and it can be had for a reasona ble price. MT. Smith was asked Saturday if he had gone to the mayor with this offer and he said he had.
