Negro, Deau-oT1c1S.
 Westwood park voters who are anx
 ious to have the driveways in that
 district converted into highways have
 insisted on a special town meeting
 to consider their needs, rejecting Se-
 lectman Johnsons proposal to take
 up the matter at the regular session
 of the voters next month. AS re-
 quest the board of selectmen today
 issued 8 call for a session to be held
 in the Town hall on Monday. Septem-
 Der 27th.
 The selectmen were required by law
 to call the meeting, a petition bearing
 the sign, tres of over twenty legal
 voters, having been presented to them.
 Rural free delivery service was re-
 gently extended to Wcstwood park
 but it is understood that the postal
 authorities will not permit the car rier to continue his trip to that sec tion unless suitable highways are pro- vided. The town built a single road
 in the district last Spring, but there are number of branch driveWays that the residents believe required at tention. In their netition they specify
 Westwood avenue, Dewey avenue,
 Hobson avenue, Miles street, White Oak avenue and the short streets run
 ming between Westwood and White Oak avenues.
 The town expended considerable 1 money for new highway in the Vest wood park section a few months ago ] and the efforts of the residents to make another raid on the treasury l will undoubtedly meet with opposi- ton. The prospects for favorable ac-

 session than at the regular town meet l ing as the attendance will be smaller, | making it possible for the Westwood 1 delegation to get control, unless the | opposition makes an effort to bring | out the voters to defeat the project. Mother Goose Fair.
 The Woman's club held a special meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Charles Clark and made l final plans for the Mother Goose fair which is to be held in the Town Hall the last week Tn October. The af- fair is to be given for the benefit of the library fund, which was started l and steadily increased through the eff forts of the members of the organ ization. The club now has a sub stantial amount on hand and it is ex- pected that it will be materially raised by the novel entertainment for which the ladies have been making plans for months.
 The members of the club will ap- pear at the fair in costume to repre- sent some Mother Goose character. 1 The bazaar will take on the character 1 of the nursery rhyme and there will | be many unique features.
 During the summer the ladies have been busy making a supply of aprons l domestic articles and fancy work for
 the fair and the array to be on sale
 will surpass that of last year. Donations of canned and pickled goods will be appreciated by the club
 Mrs. J. H. Trumbull will be grateful for contributions of this character: Autos In Collision.
 T don't care to talk about it. Just l a simple accident that's all" The l foregoing is all Albert Zimmerman of New Britain would say when ques- 1 toned this morning regarding a col 1 lision between his new Detroiter and a Knox machine owned by John H. Linskey of Union City, which occurred on the Pennington road in front of
 the residence of Henry Trumbull early 1 last evening. While both cars were badly damaged, having come together with great force, the occupants, with the exception of an Italian, who was in the Linskey machine, escaped with
