Provided he can get the chartev l know held by the KensngtOn Water \company. P. s. McAlahon, the New
 Britain theater magnate, will supply
 Nepsington with water. This is the
 Sense of q proposition which Mr. Mo
 Mahon has made to tho select1nen.
 Upon the theatcr mans request,
 Eelectman Gibncy visited the Me-
 Clahon farm in the southern part of
 k sensngton Sunday and went over
 large natural basin of between forty nnd fifty acres which Mr. McMahon proposes to transform into a reser- Dvoir. The water is to he supplied by 1 Crooked brook, sometimes called J'raut brook. a swift little strcnr1 of l clear water which originates in the EBlue Hills.
 As MT McMahon. puts ij. "Thero's nothing to it. Natures done 1t all" The basin is surrounded on all sides, lby high hills which, in some places, reach an altitude Of sixty feet. The plan of the owner is to erect a darn at the lower end, where tho Crooked brook flows out and down intn the l neaTt b1 h hcllSlnCitn. tit NIl| i1.'H lay d four-foot water na.n to the center of the district and sell the water to residents, who arc vcrN |pnxious to have water system.
 Consulted Enrioccr.
 Before taking the matter ur with fthe selectmen n Forlin,s who regard the plan as a very good one. Mr. Mo Maron consulted an engineer and TO- ceived from him the information tbst there is a fall of at least sixty five feet from the proposed reservoir to a spot opnosito t.,o @rr'in Savings Bank. This would insure good rcc1- sure.
 At tho present time the Knnsing- ton Water company, which is l.~9r- tically tHc Amcrican DHn~r l;unls company, holds a charter tn %u"rl.' the district of Ecnsington with water.
 II has had possession of t1is charter for a number of yeHr4 and, ahnough
 it own q "o"orvoir on Turkey Fill,
 no stcp" ,1aFc been tHkcn towards lay ing a water sy@tcm here.

 EensinGton, Mr. McMahon held a
 eonferencc with Mr. Ccynal of the
 Arnerican Paper Goocs company kgestasday afternoon to zee what could \ he% donc about obt1injn'G the charter \ As the president of the company was ssWaX ot in a position to do anything Hednite. MT. McMahon says, how Bver. that MT. Reynal intimated that
New Britain herald., 1915-02-02

the company with which he is con- nected, would be sympathetic to his | plan as it would not want to stand .n l the way of Kensington's getting tN, much wanted improvement. If he can get the charter, MT. Me- Mahon will begin work on the reser- voir at once. Trees must be cleared 1 from the basin and a small knoll in the middle removed before it will be 1 ready for the water. The theater man
 estimates that he would be ready to ! furnish the district with water within a years time.t He will finance the , entire project himself if he receives the assurance that kensington will
 patronize him.
 Mr. McMahon bought the farm on
 which the basin ia situated about a
 year ago from the Ginsburg Brothers.
 He has made many improvements
 since acquiring the property and it is
 now, as in the days when Norris Dun
 ham owned it. one of the most mod ern farms in this vicinity. It con tains about 160 acres of land. The
 proposed reservoir is situated in the southwest corner of the farm. It is a distance of about two miles from the center of kensington.
 Taxpayers Appeal.
 A number of disgruntled property
 owners advanced upon the town clerks office yesterday afternoon for the purpose of appealing to the board of relief from the doings of the
 assessors on the grand list made pub lie recently. William II. Webster, T. i C. Pagan and Ira Baldwin, who con stitute the board, made a record of all tho complaints but took no action
 on them. After all the public hear ings have been held, they will make known their decision.
 President L. J. CoDurn of the Suf- : fcld-Berl!n Trap Rock company, was among the first to appear before the board. He felt that the assess ment of $33,95o against the firm he heads is unjust ana coniended that i half of Chat figure would be about right. He suggested about S13,OO0. one of his arguments was that the 1 assessors should have taken into con- i sideration the fact that his firm is doing much towards building up the town.
 Thomas Kennedy of Mcriden ap- l,ealcd in behalf of hls mother who owns land near the town line. He felt that tho assessors had not
 only assessed his mother for ten ] acres more than she owns, but that ! they had erred in tack1ng on $500 to the assessed valuation of her proper tN.
 Claiming that he was not enjoying the same privileges as d major of property owners of the toWn John CaShman came over to the office to ask that his assessment be decreased. He said that the road running by his house has not been attended t0 for tho feet that his place is in a rather out-of-the- away spot. he was entitled to a little more consideration Fur thermore it was his opinion, he said,
 that he was being asseSsed on more acreage than he owns There has been some little misunderstanding
 about the acreage on this place for some time.
 x~Postmastor Dryhurst of Meri- den. representing his son. wanted an explanation of fhe boost on the as- scssment of his orchard in the Blue
 Hills district. which Is part of the old Wallace Bull farm. Last yea
 the place was assessed for $1,200, but next year he will be asked to pay
 taxes on s1,SOO unless the board grants his request.

They object most strcruoUslN. however, to the charges, the company having figured the bill under the new con- tract which was approved by q town meeting two weeks ago.

 Aetna Gets Town Insurance
 Agreeing to insure employees of the | town according to premiums based i on the payroll instead of charging a 1 specified amount for each person. the l Aetna company of Hartford has suc- l ceeded in winning from the Travellers 1 company the contract for insuring l people working for the town under l the WOrkingman's compensation act.
 The seioCtmen yesterday closed a 1 deal with A. A. Mcleod, the com l panN'S local representative and the contract has been forwarded to the Hartford office for approval.
 According to q rcpres 'ntative of the Travellers company, all insurance
New Britain herald., 1915-02-02

corporations had agreed to charge at
 the rate of S15 a year for each fire man employed by towns and cities. | This would increase the premiums to
 be paid by Plainville great deal as ! the cost of insuring the members of 1 the hose company alone would be $45O year, the town having thirty | regular dremen.
 The Aetna people made q strong bid , for the contract however and when shown the contract mape withA2aN- elers company last year agreed to ls- sue policy based on the payroll. Under this contract the cost of insur- ing all the town employees including the hremcn and school teachers will be but $113 q year. Tins is an in- crease of only S10 over tho amount paid the Travellers company last year.
 Cars Stalled By storm.
 For the first time in many years the service on the Bristol and l'lain- vile trolley line succumbed to.a snow storm this morning, not a car opera ting between the two places until nearly noon. The ears were started from Bristol at the usual time this morning but they couId make but little hcadway and il took nearly seV- on hours to make the first trip to the terminal in PIainyilie.
 The tracks on this line are almost on q level with the road and ihc ice which formed against the rails dur ing the night completely blocked traffic for hours.
 The Bristol line usually keeps it's cars on good time, storms rarely in- terferring to any apprcCiablc extent ! with the service. Today was the in- evitable exception, however, and as |, result many Plainvillc people who are , employed in Forestrillo and Bristol factories were unable to get to work . this morning.
 on the New Britain line cars were kept running all morning, although most of them were late. Difficulty was encountered on the Southington division and car off the tracks near Lazy Lane caused considerable [ trouble A workcar got off the rails on the spur track leading onto the railroad property near the depot dur ing the night and at noon today it had not changed It's position.
