 First Selectman Johnson and Town Clerk Usher have spent some time this week in Pennington investigat- ing land records in the hope of se curing information as to the legal boundaries of the highway on the east end of Broad street. They se- cured copies of deeds for about one hundred years back and in tracing through these they believe they may get the proper location of the street lines.
 Accordance of the eastern part of the street has been held rp because of complications which developed when the property owners were in vited to appear before the selectn1en to express their views on the subject. It was shown that while the monu- ments found in the street gave a certain location for the highway lines, records in the town clerks office dis agreed. The property owners opposed the acceptance of the layout sug- gested in the report of the engineer as 1t would force them to surrender land which they had presumed be- longed to them.
 The selectmen therefore decided to accept the street from Park street,
 
 remain'+ ..
 In searching the records in Farm ington the local officials. secured some interesting data concerning land sales in this locality a century ago. At that time Painville was not in eX- istence, this place being a part of Farnington. Tn the old days when deeds were filed for record the prices involved in the sales were given. The books reveal the closeness of the Yankee trader of that period, the pur- chaser sometimes paying $1,OOO.O4 for title, the owner apparently insist ing on getting even the pennies.
 selectman Johnson is of the opinion that records in the Pennington office concerning transfers of Plainv1lle prOpertv should be copied for use In the town clerks office here. The ex- pense of the work which this would 1 entail would be considerable, however, 1 and 1t is doubtful if it will be done l for some time at least.
 Jail Sentences Imposed.
 Jail sentences were meted out yes terday afternoon to Frank Green, John Murphy, Harry Griffin and John Cairns who were before the court on charges of intoxication. The men 1 were arrested Thursday night by Con- stables David Marine and Downing.
 All admitted that they were drunk when taken into custody but denied having caused a disturbance. The officers testified that the men were badly intoxicated and were making trouble at Central Square.
 Each received a term of thirty days m jail.
