Especial to The FarmerD
Redding, Nov. 1s-The executive
committee of the Milkmen's Associa-
ton of Fairfield County paid visit
OF inspection on Monday to co-opera-
tive dairy plants at Bedford and
Poughkeepsie. N. Y.
Both have pasteurizing outfits and
the former is the oldest institution
of the kind in the county. 1t Is
prettey well settled that the local as
sociation will establish a pasteuriza-
ton plant in Bridgeport and probable
that it will unite with the state body
now being organized.
The assessors began their labors
last week and have held several ses-
sions So far there has been no ap-
pearance Of the friction which de-
veloped last year among the members.
Commodore Luettgen, who has q suit
pending against the town to secure
reduction of his last years tax valu-
atom, lists his property this year at
$4,000. Last year his figures were
$4,000. Then he placed a value OF
$40 per acre on all his land whereas
this year he puts 1t in two divisions
with valuations OF $50 and $40 re-
spectively.
One evening last week large
mongrel dog appeared on the Ridge
and caused considerable alarm by his
actions which were thought to indi-
cate an attack Of rabies. The animal
had come through Pleasant Valley,
whence no one knows, and on the
Journey had bitten dogs belonging to
N. r. Hoggson and Anthony Kolosky.
Some OF the attaches OF the Sanford
school got after the animal And killed
It. The head was sent by Dog Agent
Warner to the state laboratory at
Middletown where a examination 6.s-
closed the fact that the dog was not
affected with rabies.
BY request Of counsel representing
both parties to the controversy the
non-support case Of Herbert McFar-
lane has been further continued by
Justice Pinkney to Saturday of this
week. The request for the postpone
msnt was accompanied by the state
ment that q reconciliation between
husband and wife would probably be
effected. leading to the withdrawal Of
her complaint which prompted the
prosecution. Such an outcome would
be very agreeable to the court. There
remains to be settled the question as
20 who shall ply the costs. ~.
