New Britain herald., 1916-10-16

Plainville has been forwarded to the
president Of that society but according
to information given out at the office
IN Hartford today no action has as
yet been taken concerning it.
Neighbors of Mr. Green recently
caused representa- tives of the humane
society to visit his place because Of
complaints concerning his treatment
of dogs which he boards in his ken
nels on Camp strcete Agent Wells
found no evidence of cruelty to the
CANNES and it is understood that he
was inclined to praise, rather than
criticise, the manner in which the
dogs were cared for.
Mr.. Green's petition for appoint
ment as local agent subsequently
made an appearance. 1t is said that
it bears the signature of First Sc
1ectman Johnson and other prominent
citizens.
PlainvilIe has been without a
humane agent for a few years, the
society having failed to make an APP
pointment since the removal of the
late F. B. Newton and George S.
Rabcock from that office because of a
diSagreeme nt over a case which the
organization brought into court here.
The need of such an" official has been
apparent for some time and it would
cause no surprise if favorable action
was taken on Mr.. Green's petition.

Peter J. Prior, Jr., and A. H. Con-
dell. serving as deputies for A. D.

DESTROYS of taking the electors oath

The fight over the license question
resulted in the addition of many
names to the voting list last month
and it is not expected that many new
voters will be made when the select
men and town clerk get together again
for that purpose.
Freight Business Booming.
That the freight business continues
to boom Is evidenced from the con-
ditions at the local yards of the New
Haven road, where the transfer station
is now located
Difficulty is being experienced in
getting help and Agent Mulvihill re-
ports that there are openings at the
station for a number of young men
for checkers. Negroes are being used
exclusive In thetrucking end Of the
business since the recent strike but
the road continues to employ white
men for checking and other clerical
work.
