DANGER OF TRESPASS
 ON RAILROAD TRACKS
Nearly Five Hundred Persons Were
 Killed on New Haven Road.

The New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has just issued the third of a series of nine bulletins warning people of the danger of trespassing on railroad tracks. 2O,- 900 copies of each bulletin, 1S0 900 in all, are being distributed in factories, schools, stations, freight houses, ca- booses, crossing cabins, section hous- eS, work trains, shops, car inspection cabins, interlocking towers, telegraph poles. and all conspicuous places along the lines of the railroad. The text of the latest bulletin is as follows:
 In the last three years-1912, 1913 and 1914-422 persons who ventured without authority on the tracks and property of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad were kill ed and 394 injured.
 These lives were lost because these persons need1essly exposed themselves to the danger of death or injury by making use of railroad tracks and right as a public highway.
 When you use the railroad tracks and right of way as highway to save time or trouble, you are putting your life in deadly peril. In the year 1914 a total of 5,471 lives were lost in this manner on the railroads of the Unit ed states.
 You would not willingly expose your self to disease. Why expose your self to a peril as great

MANSFIELD TOWN COMMITTEE Meeting Held at Home of Judge w. L
 Storrs.

A meeting was held of the Mans field town committee of the Holland County Farm Bureau at the home of Judge W. l.. Storrs recently. There was strong feeling in favor of work along dairy lines. During the discus sion it was brought out that state in- stitutions were using oleomargarines to a greater or less extent. It was thought that it would materially help the dairy industry if all state insti- tutions used dairy products; and where they were able to do so, that they use home grown materials for home consumption, thereby giving the dairyman more of a market and an incentive to produce more milk and dairy products.
 Judge Storrs is going to carry on demonstrations on his own farm in alfalfa growing and also soy bean and corn silage.
 A. E. Anthony of Mansfield Center was appointed as a committee of one to look further into the advisability of poultry demonstrations. It was stated that probably one of the largest or- chards in the state was located in the town, that of A. J. Warren.
 Hobert Stearns and A. E. Anthony, and Judge Storrs were appointed a committee to consider and arrange for an institute to be held this spring.

RESOLUTION AGAINST HEALTH BOARD
Special Town Meeting Went Record Opposed Pro- posed Consolidation of Town Health Officer, City Health Officer Milk Inspector and School Inspector Under One Head-BiH Be Withdrawn By Senator J. H. Barnes.

the city and the town of Norwich into a single health district for the purpose of employing fuH-time health officer will say th0t the state board of health are essential, and recommends any consolidation or arrangement that will accomplish that end.
 Senate bill No. 573 has in it a pro- vision giving all towns and cities the privilege of of consolidating for the purpose above mentioned, and if said bill passes there will be no need for this provision in the Norwich bill
 As to the matter of placing milk in- spectors and school inspectors under the direction of the health department this we also advise, believing that in- creased ef1cfercy can be obtained by consolidating all health activities un- der single head.
 Yours truly,
 JOHN T. BLACK, M. D.,
 Secretary.
 Senator Barnes said: Don't think that the mayor and first selectman have a1- ready pledged themselves to put in a certain one. The state board of health thinks it is a good think. and I think so.
 Senator Barnes said the bill was drafted in good faith, and referred to the cost if the bill went through. He said he never talked to anyone. the mayor or selectman, relative to the ap- pointment of anyone. In closing. he SaIu. IT you dOn-C want the Di11, vote IL down: it is nothing to me-
 Dr. C. E. Stark, who served as one of the first health officers in Norwich, was in favor of the bill. He believes the principle of the bill introduced Is right. He referred to the fact tlaat the men who are wanted for health of- fcers are busy men. They can't give much time to this work. If there is one physician it is the ideal method. Ths town and city's health should be under one mans jurisdiction.
 Attorney John P. Huntington op- posed the bill, called attention to the fact that the bill as printed in a local was different from the one introduced into the legislature as the one introduced was skeleton and the details might be introduced later. He also stated that Dr. Black, secretary of the state board of health, wa sin town on Feb. Sd, and claimed that the bill which was presented by the state board of health had been withdrawn. Amos A. Browning opposed the meas ure and stated that the idea of put ting an official in the position for life or keeping him there for good be- havior did not appeal to him.
 Chairman Pettis called for vote on the adoption of the resolution pre- scented by Rev. MT. Ricketts and the ayes were in the majority. To make sure, Chairman Pettis called for a second vote, and before the vote was taken Senator Barnes arose and stated that he would withdraw the bill On the vote the ayes won out, as the noes were very, very faint
