New Britain herald., 1915-09-23

without first having notified them, the 1 New Haven young men implicated in the raid on farm near Dunham's ! bridge Saturday. The men were fined S4 and costs, the court failing to make any charge for the work done by the Plainville constables. The gang was rounded up in this town and later turned over to the , Southington authorities. The police here were advised that they would be notified in time to appear at the hear ing, when it was expected some ar , engagement would be made for settling their accounts.
 They had been put to considerable trouble in making the arrests and the manner in which they were ignored when the cases came up for trial causes them to believe that the "cops'' in the neighboring borough did not aporeciate the assistance they rem dcred.
 Prior Favors Highway Project. Postmaster P. J. Prior is not num- hered among the forces opposed % the granting of the petition of voters in Westwood park for highway i'm" provements in that section. Thelr proposition is 70 be considered at q special town meeting to be held Mon day night and it is said that an ef- fort will be made to get unfavorable action on the grounds that the dis trict has already been given the inn provements it is entitled to. The postmaster declares that the l postal department cannot sanction the extension of the rural free de- l livery routes unless the ground cov- | cred by the carrier is suitable for 1 vehicular traffic. The passways in 1 WestwoOd park. with the exception l ot that converted into a highway last l spring, he declares, are in such shape that a team has difficulty in getting l through them and the mail man can not continue his trips unless they are put in better shape.
 While the petition calls for the fixing up of number of streets, resi- dents of the district. he believes, will be satisfied if the town does part of the work this fall. He believes the improvements asked for can be given without the town going to any great expense.
 <Westwood park, according to the postmaster, is practically the only section of the town that is building up to any appreCiable extent, and 1t is his opinion that the town should encourage it's growth.
