COUNTY TAKES HAND
IN GLEN ST. DUMP CASE
Clash With Local Health
Board Expected from
Bassett's Arrest.

Franklin E. Bassett of 33 Bassett
street owner of considerable proper
ty in the southern part OF the CITY,
particularly the Glen street dumping
grounds, was arraigned before Judge
James T. Meskill In police court this
morning on a charge of violating q
health statute, namely, permitting
garbage and other refuse to remain
on his property and causing nu1-
sance. He was represented by Judge
James E. Cooper and entered plea
of not guilty. The case. was contin-
ued until September 18.
This case bids fair to develop some
sensational facts before it is finished
and it is not impossible that during
this trial the New Britain board Of
health and the county health officer
in the person of Judge Daniel E.
Markham may clash. Prosecutor
George w. Klett stated in court this
morning that he knows nothing about
this case as 1t has been brought at
the instigation of Judge Markham.
Judge Cooper requested that it be
continued until the 18th inasmuch as
at present DR.. T. E Reeks, superin-
tendent of health, is away and he will
be one of the most important wit

The Glen street dump, situated be-
tween Bassett and Glen streets, south
of Trinity street, has long been a
bone Of contention ard early in the
season residents complained to the
health board about conditions there.
DR.. Reeks and his health department
employees did all they could to reme-
dy conditions and finally had signs
posted at the dump. Some of the
residents felt, however, that the health
department was not doing enough
and appealed to DR.. Black, state health
officer. DR.. Black conferred with Dr.
Reeks and when appraised of the
true facts in the case paid no further
attention to the complaint. Later
some of the neighbors made visit
to Judge Markham, it is said, and as
a, result Judge Markham made a visit
to New Britain several weeks ago for
the purpose of conulting with Dr.
Reeks over the dump question. The
Judge came here on one of the days
when the first exemption board was
examining candidates for the National
Army and called, on DR.. Reeks at the
Prevocational Grammar school. The
interview was a heated one, it is said.
with the local superintendent of
health coming off best. Until today's
prosecution nothing further had been
heard of the incident.

statement reads:
During the night the positions
captured by us yesterday southeast of
Hargicourt were successfully consoli-

on our new front.
IAN enemy raiding party was driven
away last night east of Loos. Other
raiding parties three times attacked
