 Clean Up Districts Affairs.
 Paving the way for the dissolving of the sanitary and sewer district the voters at their annual meeting held in the Town hall last evening dropped four members of the official commit tee and selected us thelr representa- tiNes Frank T. Wheeler Charles H. Calor and Joseph T Mccarthy, the trio to serve simply as ngureheads until such time as the way is open for the giving up of the districts ghost. Three members of the committee were held only because the voters were advised that the district must have some official leaders while the matter of collecting taxes and pay ing the bills already incurred is in progress.
 Eliminated from the committee are F. B. Newton, J. N. McKernan, A. H. Condell and H. A. Castle. These men served the district faithfully for the past few years and took an active part in the work which Tell to the lot of the officers. They were sum
 
 evening, the voters present seemingly fearing that if full committee was selected there would be d possibility of bringing up the sewer question in some new form. a move which they apparently do not favor.
 Last nights meeting drew number of socialists and a fair representation from the anti-sewer faction. They were evidently determined to kill the sewer question in such manner that 1t will have to remain buried for at least a few years and 1t must be ad- mitted that they made good progress towards their goal.
 Except for the dismissel of d ma jority of the old committee and the acceptance of the reports of the officers the voters transacted no busi- hess of importance last night and while the meeting lasted for some time it failed to develop any very in- teresting features.
 There were but about twenty-five in attendance when Chairman Wheeler called the session to order. Joseph T. Mccarthy acted as clerk of the session. An itemized report of Treasurer Newton was presented and accepted and the minutes of the meetings held during the year were also passed on favorably
 The matter of electing the district committee was then brought up. $. B. Carpenter presented a resolution for the discharge of the committee. A. H. Conde1l claimed that the banks would insist on the district having recognized heads until the bills al- T l | should the meeting fail to elect any 1 officers, the old committee would 1 legally continue in power as the members were named to serve until | their successors were appointed. .. John s. Larson thought the com 1 m;ttee having finished it's year, auto- 1 matically went out of office. Others l did not agree with him, however, and MT. Carpenter made no effort to force 1 his resolution on the meeting. ballot for the election of the first
 member of the committee was then ] called for. MT. Wheeler received a majority of the votes and was chosen. Several ballots were taken for the 1 election of the second member with out result MT. Mccarthy finally asked his supporters to vote for C, | H. Calor but before another ballot was taken S. P. Williams successfully 1 moved that the secretary cast a ballet | for Calor and in this manner the latter was selected. MT. Mccarthy was chosen in similar fashion and on
 motion of MT. Williams it was de- l cided to name no additional members the district committee to be but trio The powers of the new committee are as great as those held by the board of seven which has served since the | organization of the district. Never l theless it seemed to be the sense of the meeting last night that the new | leaders are to serve only as figure
 heads. the collection of the taxes and l the payment of the bills constituting | their duties.
 After the selection of the commit
 tee. the meeting adjourned.
 To Bring Bride Home. 1 William l.. Cooke of East Main l street, who has been spending the | winter on his fathers plantation in l Cocoa, Florida, has arranged to start l for Plainvilje next week. MT. Cooke will be accompanied by his bride the l young man having been married
 during his stay in the South. and the
 couple will make their home here. MT. Cooke intends to Gevote his time during the summer to the man i agcment of his garage.
 prcpart for Highway Work. l First Selectman w J. Johnson to.
 day placed an order for picks and 1 shovels which are to be used in the l construction of the new highway in | Wcstwood park.
 MT. Johnson expects that within q
 few days the ground will be suffi-
 ciently soft to warrant starting the
 work. He had hoped to put d force
 cf men on the job last week but the
