that the fourth annual meeting of the sanitary and sewer district of Plain- vile (so-called) Is to be held Monday night, reminds me that a few years ago our town appointed five men to be a sewer committee. Their first re- port was that it was necessary to procure a charter from the legisls- ture in order to build a sewer sys- tenn which was quite right too. When they changed their title to borough meeting at the town hall to talk the voters present.
 The chairman and secretary of our committee. both of whose business keeps them out of town all the time, set forth the advantages of borough and made statements which showed that they did not know what they were talking about or meant to pre- varicate and when a call for an ex- pression of the meeting was made about 100 men and boys were count- ed in favor of a borough.
 Then the secretary of our commit tee drew up charter himself for a borough form of government includ- ing a sanitary sewer system and made his boast that he knew 1t was all right for he drew it himself. One of our committee members did not think as he did and was ready to sign a remonstrance to the petition for a charter. When the matter came up before the legislature. our com mittee's chairman and secretary worked hard for the petition and

CIVIL SERVICE DISCUSSED. National Reform League Making Preparations For Model Law

Washington, April 1.-Preparations undertaken at meeting here to- morrow of the joint committees of the national assembly of civil ser vice commissions and the national civil service reform league, announce ment of which was made today.
 A law embodying the essential prin- ciples of q practical merit civil ser vice system which might become ap- plicable to any state and also to it's county and municipal governments is the object of the meeting. It is also proposed to draft a. form of constitu- tional amendment for states where the people desire to surround the merit system with constitutional guarantees.

stated that at a legal meeting of voters in Plainville over 200 had in- structed them to apply for a borough charter. Our chairman was very pos- itive that the people of Plainville wanted a borough but that someone had been hired to lie for the remon- strants. The chairman or the Iegis- lative committee suggested that no one except a part of our committee wanted a borough and they were giv- cn leave to withdraw. What has been done since I believe to have been of but little legal importance to our town.
 have kept posted on the laws of Connecticut for over forty years and find no warrant for a town to estab- fish sanitary sewer system without express power from the general as- sembly. Chapter 12S, General Statutes, which our committee have been mon- keying with, has no reference to a sanitary sewer. Sections 2004 ana 2005 call it a fire or drain district and forbids constructing or purchas- ing other works.
 It has been said that you can get anything you are looking for in the Bible. Our statute book is more won- derful than that. Our next legisla. ture should revise and consolidate 1t to one-half the present size.

Berlin News CONTEMPLATE REPAIRS
 FOR BERLIN DIVISION Condition Of Roadb5d and Rails VIII Be Improved. GANG FIGHT IS INVESTIGATED
Italians Caused Disturbance In Ken sington Sunday Night-Louis Brad bury Complains Against Actions of His Brother, Charles Bradbury.

Announcement was made this morning at the offices of the Con- necticut company in New Britain that all the roadbed and track on the Der lin division will be repaired and put into first class conditioxpthis spring. Section gangs will be put at work here immediately after the frost has ! left the ground.
 This news will be received by local patrons with pleasure. For the past several months they have been free in their complaints against the con- dtions. This has been warranted to a certain extent because the tracks have been and are now in a deplor- ble condition, especially along the New Britain road where uneven and worn, the rails are always under sev- eral inches of water after rain storm. Frequently stones and sedi- ment are carried onto the tracks during a storm and derailments fol- low, an instance of which was the Cessation of schedule which was made necessary Sunday, March I, when three cars left the rails and were not replaced until noon of the following day.
 It would have been impossible for
 
 during the winter months, especially in the extreme cold spell when the steel became brittle and cracked, but small improvements have been madc here and there all throughout the season.
 As has been the custom for some time, the company will continue to run "box cars on this line in the summer. The windows will be re- moved, however, and an cndeavor made to make travelling from this town to New Britain as comfortable and convenient as possible.
 Authorities of this town have made a rule whereby trolley crews arc obliged to keep opposite sides of their cars open at different places along the road, and for this reason 1t would be difficult to run the open cars on this line. Unnecessary time would be consumed in attending to tervals.
 Disturbed Peasc at Midnight.
 About midnight last night Constable Harry Chapman of eKensington re- .ceived telephone call from Officer Louis Bradbury, who asked that he hurry to the home of his brother 2 Charles Bradbury and quell q dis tarbance which he was causing. Con- stable Chapman did not respond, for just as he was about to leave his house another call came iron. his fel- low officer, who then said that his presence would not be required after

MOTORCYCLE OFFICER COLLINS

Since the appointment OF Motorcy 3

commission, to patrol the district sur
rounding Niagara Falls and Goat ISL
and, many persons have been prevent
ed from throwing themselves into the
Niagara river The rushing water of
the rapids seems to have a peculiarly
hypnotic effect on people who are de-
pressed, and 1t is said that an average
of two persons q month disappear
there. However, since Officer Collins
has been assigned to patrol the district,
this average has been materially low
cred. He rides all around Goat Island.
and the narrow gorge route, covering
many times a day the territory which
1t would require several men afoot or
mounted on horses to patrol. Coming
upon persons who seem particularly
affected by the appeal Of the water.
Collins engages them in conversation
tho moment OF temptation Is past.
and tragedy has been averted by the
timely appearance of the motorcycle
officer.
Officer Collins has also been of ma
terial assistance to the park commits :.
sion in preventing the destruction Of
property by thoughtless or careless
tourists. He finds the motorcycle very
economical for patrol work. 30 far. he
has ridden more than 1000 miles and
has never had runcture. and he finds
the cost OF operating the two-wheeler
very low.

MODERATE PRICED
CARS TO Be MADE
Dodge Brothers, Detroit Ac-
cessory Manufacturers
Announce New Policy.

Although automobile dealers are
known to be responsive todew cars Of
distinctive quality. the attitude Of the
trade toward the car which Is soon to
be marketed by Dodge Brothers of De-
troit has probably no parallel in the
| industry. Dodge Brothers have for
years been manufacturers OF parts on
a mammoth scale. and their buildings
and machinery are among the marvels
of motor car manufacturing. Both are
expert engineers, and their tremendous
business has been built UP entirely
through their own initiation and under
their personal supervision.
However. nothing is known regard
ing the new car they are to mahufac-
ture and sell. and therein lies. the ex-
traordinary response of the trade to
the simple announcement that these
brothers were soon to market car of
moderate price.
4 Although no details have been given
out as to the price of the car. its horse
power, style or equipment, and In spite
of the fact that practically the only
definite statement that has been made
concerning the activities Of the COM
pany has been the announcement of
A. l. Phillip as general sales manager
1t is reported that there have been
more than 1900 applications for ex-
elusive territory. These applications
came by letter, telegram, long-dis-
lance telephone, and in many cases in
person.
A large number of dealers have &C
ltually signed agreements to handle II
as soon as 1t Is ready for the market
and 1t is freely predicted that a ma
jor portion of the first years cars vii
. be allotted before the completed cal

Volumes have been written about

about the minor repairs and ADJUST

The growth Of long distance motor

which lead far into the centers Of CIV
ilization make 1t imperative that the

and should know how to use it.

European motorists have awakened
to these facts rather more rapidly than

that they are well advertised, has been
~ effective in promoting their use as Q
