 trict at Odds Over Sewer.

According to it's charter the Execu- tive Committee of the Canaan Fire District, can assess the benefits or damages accuring to any land owner, for the taking of land for sewer pur. poses or the crossing of land for exten. sives to the same.
 This committee found the benefits to Joseph H Allyn's property on Rail. road street, far in excess of any damage resulting therefrom. MT. Allyn ap. pealed from the finding to the Superior Court. Judge W. M Maltbie appointed William G. Manchester and James E.. Dean of Winsted and Henry O. Gay lord of Falls Village, three disinter- ested freenolders, a commission to re- assess the damages and benefits sus- tained by MT. Allyn.
 This commission met in Canaan, Wednesday, April 8; viewing the premises. hearing the parties interested and adjourned to Monday April g; at which time they held an alFday ses- sion and again viewed the premises and heard further testimony. . MT. Allyn claimed that the drainage to his land had been effected by the building of she sewer, to such an ex- tent that he would be compelled to fill in BIT cubic yards of dirt or a damage amounting to 5000. On the other hand, the Executive Committee of the Fire District allege that MT. Allyn's premises are not damaged at all, but rather have been greatly benefited by the construction of the sewer. It was brought out in the testimony, that nos only the local Health Officer. but the County and State officials as we'll, have upon various occasions visited Mir. Allyn's premises and ordered the Fire District to construct a sewer through Peasevjlle, to relieve the dangerous health conditions exist ing there, on account of the inability to properly maintain cesspools in that vicinity,
 . MT Allyn's witnesses were, Homer O. Allyn, Mrs. J. H. Allyn, Ralph T. Farnum, W. W. Burghardt, Frederick Gillette.
 Among those called by the Sewer District were F. A. Whiting, Mrs Honora Mot arty, Martin McCarty, E. s. Pease, L. E. Howe, G. s MatLer, Peter Funk, O. G. Smith, c. S. Flu. Ter, J. B. Reed, fW. W. Burghardt, D. o. Canfield, o. M. Humphrey, Dr. F. H. Lee, pr. J. G. Adam.

CAMP FIRE NOTES
Girls Are to Raise a Pig And Have
 Named It "America".

At their last meeting, the Camp Fire Girls, voted to add to their pa. triotio activities by raising a a"libertyn pig, which. altho they have not yet obtained. they have named "Ameri- ca". They hope, thus, not only to proviie over 900 pounds of pork for public consumption, but to supply themselves with necessary funds tor another year.
 Louise Beaujon succeeded in win- ming the honor badge for accomplish ing the greatest amount of he'd Cross work for the past week. spe her In- dian name, meaning skilful, is we'll merited.
 The Camp Fire Girls have added to their offerings to the Red Cross, an- other afghan, quilt, 12 pillows, 24 pillow cases, wash cloths, 10 cakes of soap and pair of socks.
 Mrs. Jackson kindly acted as chap. erone to the l9 girls who attended the rally Sunday night "Oneonta" and "Spe", being the girls with the greatest number of honors for the past week, were distinguished by the privi. lege of sitting on the platform.
 It may te of interest to know that since the beginning of the war the girls have cheerfully given up all re- treatments at their meetings, the pur. chase of much needed costumes, and the winning of honor beds. It is their sacrifice to their country. The money which would have been spent in shese ways has provided Red Cross materi- als, enough having been saved to in- sure the future plumpness of "Ameri- ca'r.

LIVE STOCK IMPORTATION
Regulations to be Strictly Observed
 and Rules Enforced.

The recent detention in town of some horses brought from Salt Point, \. Y. by George Vogt who was mov- ing to Southington, this state, has brought to the notice of the proper authorities that perhaps unwittingly, there has been a violation of the law regarding the necessity for the inspec. tion of live stock that comes into Connecticut from neighboring states.
 Numerous cases of glanders have been traced to horses coming from in- footed districts. To avoid further trouble, Constable l.. O. Rhoades has been advised by Commissioner J. M. Whittlesey, to prosecute the next case, coming to his attention.
 The animals must be quarantined and tubercular tests made at the owners expenses and the cost of the quarantine to be also at the owners expense. If the owner of the cattle in transportation has premises of his own the stock may be qusrantined on prt. vate property in charge of the proper official.
 The state authorities are insistent that the rules and regulations for transportation and importation of cattle into Connecticut be strictly enforced.
