GOES INTO BANKRUPTCY
AIIyndaIe White Marble and Lime Co.
 Files Petition in Hartford.

The Allyndale White Marble and Lime Company of East Canaan, through their attorney, Louis Sperry, ot Hartford, filed a petition in bank. ruptcy last Saturday. The amounts due to local business houses and to indivi duals for labor and other work is esti- mated at 5000. Whether there are other accounts outstanding has not yet been determined.
 The majority of the stock in the company was bought about August :, by MT. Malcolm, a Hartford contrac- tor, and Joseph Beauchemin, of Nor. folk was appointed general manager of the companies affairs. The company has had varied career under different managers and controllers, and it is said that because of the unusually severe terms of the lease of the property and the high roy alties which had to be paid it was next to impossible for a company to make a success of the business.
 The troubles of the present company started few weeks ago, when the men employed by the company. as well as the other lime companies in Canaan and East Canaan, refused to work unless they had beer. While some of the kilns have resumed work, others are partially closed, and attach ments were brought by several local business men, which rrecipitated a number from other parts of the state, to satisfy accounts due them from the Allyndale company.

PUBLIC MARKET CLOSES
New Way of DispOsing of Produce
 Has Proven Very Popular.

Due to the unusually early frosts of last week, Norfolk's public market has been forced to close for the season. The market was opened on Friday, August 31, and from the outset it has proven a great success in every way. The market was closed last Friday, and while there were only four market days. it has proven to the satisfaction of all that public market can be made to pay in a community the size of Nor folk.
 The farmers received about the same prices for their produce as the average store would have to pay. This means that those who didn't mind carrying their bundles, aud there were many could obtain strictly fresh poultry, eggs and vegetables at lower price than they would necessarily have to pay at the store. The market was thronged each day, with both buyers and sellers, and seldom did the farmers carry any of their produce home.
 The popularity of the market has caused those in charge, to announce that the market will be opened again next year. They plan to open the mar. ket in June and continue through the summer until frost comes. With this knowledge, it is expected the farmers will plant more generously and plan their crops so as to have 8 continual supply of vegetables from early sum- mer to late fall.
 The average person can get along nicely with much less meat, if a sufficient supply of fresh vegetables can be secured. The Norfolk market has supplied what many people have wanted and with the perfection of the system used, the market will be good example for other towns to emulate.

WATER ANALYSIS.

A sample of water taken from the faucet by pr. F. H. Lee, and sent to the state laboratories at New Haven for analysis has been apalyized and the report in part states that: "The water contains moderate amount uf mineral matter and is hard. The sample submitted is free from color. oder ami turbidity. The organic content is lay and the chlorine figure is h:t snght'.' in excess of the normal for tA" :eci0a. The bacteria are low in number and appear to be harmless types. The re. suits do not show evidence of the presence of dangerous contamination and the supply appears to be entirely safe and quite satisfactory for drinking purposes at the present time".
