WIRES ON SILVER STREET
Protest of Mrs. and Miss Lowrie 4
Village Trustees

Protest of Mrs. and Miss Lowrie to
Village Trustees
Following is the communication
from Mrs. Mary J. Lowrie and daugh-
ter Margaret, read at the meeting of
the village board of trustees, Tues
day evening.
No. Ill Silver St,
May %, 1913.
d. A. Ward,
Pres. Village of Bennington.
Dear Sir:
Mrs. Lowrie and her daughter, Mar
garet, (the owner of the property we
speak of, fronting both on Silver and
Union streets), wish you and every
member of the board of trustees, be
tween now and Tuesday noon, the
9th of May, after reading this letter,
to investigate what has been giving
us great deal of distress and anxiety
since the 3rd of Feb. 1913. In 1911
the Electric Light company change
| and put up two new poles, one on the
| line on Silver street and one on the
corner of Union street, with our con-
sent on these conditions:
That the corner pole was to have
only two arms, one for lights and one
for fire and police alarm wires, and
guy wire to our tree on Union St,
until such time as they changed to a
bracket lamp instead of the arcn
lamp already there, and on the line
pole TO have three neat arms, the tele
| phone box and cable for local lines
only. But since the commissioners
were requested to come and decide
whether the Telephone Co. should
put all unfinishd work underground
and the Branch st. citizens put in
their complaint, the Telephone Co.
ran trunk line cable, containing for
ty wires down Silver street, past
our property without asking permits
sion of us. When we demonstrated
with them for putting seven local
lines on an arm on the corner pole,
they said "as it was up, and Judge
Bates would not have the poles in his
yard any more, they would have to
bring them down Union street, and
the arm would have to stay" When
they put the trunk line cable down
they put box on the corner pole, but
when the company changed the poles
in 1911, they said, "the village would
not allow them to put a box on the
corner pole, so they could not put the
wires underground" They have put
the box up now for the trunk line.
and run the cable into the under
ground tube on the line pole working
under protest from the doctor when
Mrs. Lowrie was i'll, so as to be able
to call the work finished when the
| commissioners met, II their decision
was favorable to the underground
work. We are sorry to interfere with
the work Of the village, but II has
damaged our property very much to
have men working on the wires in
front of our best windows and all the
telephone wires will have to be put
underground past our property on
Silver street right away. or we will
act as we think right Immediately.
without waiting for the commission
er's decision after noon on the 27th
of May.
Yours truly,
Mary ]. Lowrie.

DEDICATION OCT. 26Tt.
St. Joseph's Church, Shelton, Com pIeted by Rev. D. 4. BaiIey-Fine Achievement During Seven Years.

Of a former pastor of St, Johns l parish, MontVilIe, the Ansonia Sentinel says: The members of St. Joseph's parish Shelton, will witness the fru- itiOn of their hopes and the harvest of their labOrs. Sunday next when the new church will be solemnly dedicated by the Right Rev. John J. Milan bish- Op of Hartford, with all the services that usually attend such dedication. 4 solemn high mass will be celebrated at 10.30 o'clock in the morning and at this the sermon will be preached by Rev. Matthew l.. F'ortier, & J.. of l Boston, Mass. There will also be a solemn vesper a 7.30 o'clock at which
 the sermon will be preached by the
 Rev Peter w Mclean, $. T. L.. of Milford Conn.
 It Is only seven years ago that this parish was established and set off from St. Mary's of Derby. and starting with absolutely nothing this little band of workers, none of whom are wealthy people, have secured one of the best
 sites in the place and on it erected q church that is not only an Ornament l to the place, but of a. size that will accommodate the members of that faith in this place for many years to
 come. There has been no effort made to hurry the building al the expense
 of worth and solid value. but it's pro- gress has been remarkably rapid con-
 sidering the size of the parish and the
 many disadvantages under which the people have labored
 That all the community will join
 with the members of this church in
 hailing the coming dedication as a
 definite good for all as well as a mat
 ter of pride for the workers, is ceT-
 tain. In the work consequent upon
 the completion of this project the
 pastor, Rev. D. A. Bailey, has done yeoman's work, and he has been ably
 assisted by every member of the par
 ish. The outcome is the handsome edi-
 flee that crowns the Coram avenue hill
 while 1t will be a landmark in the
 place for ages to come.
 There will be many of the high
 dignitaries of the church present Sun day. as St. Jeseph's parish occupies q high place in the estimation of the churches of this diocese and the pas ters from all the neighberiHg parish
 es will gather te jein in the joy of dedicating se handsome a building to the worship of God.

CIVIL SERVICE NO PROTECTION
This Report in Washington Regarding Connecticut Post masters and Their Assistants and Cashiers-Internal Revenue Employees Also on the Anxious Seat.

{, that state. Offices that are pretty sure to be affected if the democratic l leaders here can bring about the change are located in all the first class offices in the state In most of the offices, besides the assistant post master, there is a cashier, both of whom got their appointments on the recommendation of the postmaster. Of course 1t is remembered that all such postofdce appointees by act of the government were only few months ago placed under civil service although there never had been the slightest pretense that any one of the appointees had been tested as to his ability to fill the position by a rigid civil service examination.
 Just now these officials think they can hold over during a democratic regime even after the postmasters who selected them have passed un- der the political axe, because of the expiration of their terms or because they have been removed on account of too much political activity.
 According to reports from Connec- ticut says Washington dispatch to the Hartford Times, there is a pile of worriment among the federal em- ployees in the internal revenue de- pertinent in that state as to how long they will remain in office under the new collector. Not very long, so those say who are well informed about what is going on in that state. To be sure, there is not a large army of such re- publican officeholders, for the district Is not an extensive one, but what few there are holding down the jobs to- day will have to walk the plank soon. This is the class of federal officehold- CTS who had been worried after the democrats won their national victory and who went to Mir. Wicllersham and asked him if there was any chance to remain in office under the democratic national administration.
 Little Comfort For Them.
 Colonel Robert o. Eaton who was the republican collector for Connecti- cut and Rhode Island and who re- gently quit office to make room for a democrat, couldn't give very much comfort te his subordinates when he was retiring from the federal service. He may have known what was com ing to the subordinates according to what is said here, and realized that there was no hope for them to remain in office.
 If the republican assistant post masters and cashiers in Connecticut and elsewhere have to get out when the term of the postmaster expires there will be tremendous disa ppoint- ment in every state in the union.
