 A tennis tournament is in progress at the court of the Ridgewold Inn which is probably the finest court of the many in town. Singles and mix ed doubles are being played with sil- yer cups as prizes and the contest will probably be ended this week. Those taking part are Sanford os- born, MT. Aldrfch, MT.

 An attachment for $2,5Oo has been. placed by the American Surety Co.,, upon the house and farm property of Jesse H. Duncan in a suit to recover the amount of the defendants short age as tax collector, this amount be- ing approximately $2,300. A detail- ed statenentsof the sums owed to t11e town byDdncan is being made to-day by the se1ectrnen to be forwarded the com pany, only a general notice and denaands having. previously been sent. It is probable that the town will also seek to recover from Duncan, by suit, the amount it would otherwise lose by reason of transfers of property upon which taxes were due that had not been secured by lien. On the prop erty which his mother conveyed to him last fall there were unpaid and unliened. tax claims of nearly s100 and there are several like claims for lesser sums The Duncan property is valued at $4.O0O and there is upon it a mortgage of $700.
 J. w. Teets continues his benevo- lent {. activities for the Episcopal church, their latest manifestation be- ing improvement work on the hgh- ways adjacent to the church edifice. A wet place at the north of the church is to be drained the road gutters deep ened and strengthened and stone flag ging laid from the road to the church entrance. The $S5 which he received as his share of the amount realized by sales at the Catholic fair from fnis collection will only partly meet the cost of these improvements. To the collection he has just added some fifty volumes, many of them special edi- tions and all desirable acquisitions to any library. So far the collection has yielded nearly $500 for the Epis- copal church.
 The bids submitted for building the new Georgetown school were all above the $25,0O0 allotted by the Gilbert & Bennett Co.,, for the structure and consequently some modification of the original plans is found necessary. They provided for a, two story building, but the company has just received from a. Boston firm of architects another plan for a one story building and this may be adopted. The matter rests en- tirely with. the Gilbert & Bennett Co. but the people of the district are con fdent that the outcome will be entire

 matter is presented in a form which is very clear to understand.
 The volume, which iss five inches wide and seven tin lien contains 130 pages.

REDDING'S NEWEST ENTERPRISE IS A
 TARGET COMPANY
Surety Company Brings Suit Against Former Tax Col
 1ector Duncan.

Bedding, Aug 26=Those who guessed that the next thing 'tgot up'' in town would be a golf club were wrong. A golf project came into be- ing four or five years ago but ,lapsed because the land sought. was sold for other purposes and the scheme has since ssIumbered as unfinished busi- ness. The new undertaking is noth- ing less than the formation of a rifle company with Herr Schochj the ac- complished 1inguist, poet, musician and sketch artist the moving and directing spirit. Active also in the project is Rev. MT. Cunningham For ty members have already been enroll ed andSas soon as the enrollnnent reaches fifty, application will be made to the War department at Washington for an equipment of rifles and a sup ply of ammunition. These the U.S S. government furnishes free under cer- tain conditions, the object being to en- courage target and other military training in order to provide citizen material for service in time of need. The yearly membership fee is one dollar and 1t is required that part of one day weekly be devoted to target practice. The local company will not join the State militia because, for one reason, it would probably be difficult to recruit it up to theNdesired strength. Herr Schoch served a full term in the Swiss army and has an imposing ar ray of medals won by his skill in marksmanship. The company's rifle range will probably be located near the Five Points.
 Considerable additions have been made to the equipment of theS Ridge fire department since the company's s last monthly meeting. They include a wagon to serve as a. tender and which. like the engines. will be run to fires in tow of an auto; a hand pump. to be worked by two men and having 100 feet of hose; two light weight 30 foot extension ladders, two A foot ladders, and 24 paiIs All these auxiliaries will be carried on the wagon which will also carry re- serve charges of chemicals done up in packages. The pump was/a gift to the department from Treasurer Muen- mich. For the purchase of the new equipment the company appropriated s70, but the company having the matter. in charge found it necessary to expend only $54.
 The Catholic church fair held at the Ridge gym on Friday and Satur- day evenings of last week, drew large crowds and yielded net proceeds of about $200. Several bus loads from Bethel augmented the attendance on the first evening and several auto

 Work on Dam.
 The contract for the construction of the Richards Corner comp ensation dam at New Hartford was signed by e. w. BlakesIee of c. w. BIakeslee & Son of New Haven, Monday to whom the contract was awarded for $357,,- 766.50. Mr. BlakesIee promised that work on the big contract would be started at once.
 The period of construction ternin- ates January 1, 1918 The first actual work to be undertaken will be the construction of a temp orary section of the Barkhansted-New Hartford main road so as to allow the destruction of that part Of the road which is to be sacrificed for a conduit in which the river water is to be diverted during the time the dam is being built. Even tuanys a new road will be constructed son the east side of the new reservoir, in accordance with an agreement the Hartford water board made with the towns of Barkhanlsted and New Hart ford, when it received the privilege of cutting down 3 large part of the aold main road.

A petition is in circulation asking
 that vocal music be made one of the branches of instruction in the public schools. The school committee has had the same matter under conside- ration for some time and only defer

 were lacking. This obstacle still ex- ists, but the board will further discuss the subject at their next meeting and
 may fndts way of overcoming the difficulty. In this event an effort will probably be made to secure the ser vice of Mrs. Lemuel Sanford as su- lpervisor of the new course of instruc- 1 ton. She is now. supervisor of vocal music in the Westport schools.
