FIRST CASE UNDER STATUE.

In the city court this afternoon a hearing was held before Judge James T. Meskill on the matter of substitut- ing a bond for a lien that might be filed by E c. DSnison of the Denison Garage against an auto owned by Menoog Krikorian. The last session of the assembly enacted 8 new statute permitting auto repair men to lien autos for work done and not releasing the autos until the work was paid for. Krikorian's auto was repaired but it was not released, owing to . dispute over the amount of the bill. This is the first case, so far as is known, under the new statute

bought the property eight years ago for $17,500 and if was a bargain. Values havo increased largely since then and are bound to increase in the future between New Britain and Hartford as the two cities grow to- gether. The price paid for this prop crty eight years ago has nothing to do with values today. Values of farm land have increased materially in eight years and your own editor ial answers itself when it states that this land is becoming residential and therefore bound to increase in value, Tho Long. Bros farm had opDortun- itieS to sell parts of this land to land spectators at fancy prices but real iZlng it's value, have refused t0 sell except on practically their own terms.
 Your commission succeeded in get ting a material reduction from the price asked, and voted to purchase the property for $62,500. I believe they have made q first class invest mont for the people of Hartford county and have done no material harm to the people of the town Of Newington. In my opinion the ob- jections are largely sentimental. The jail of Litchtield county is located in
 
 field. It is a residential community Of the highest class and the property owners are glad to employ the pris- oners at fair wages to cut their lawns and do other work about their places. We believe it will help rather than hurt the town of Newington. Your mmissioners plan to work T num- Der of prisoners on the farm and to hire others to the farmers who are so badly in need of farm help. It will give new life to the community, in crease the value of land in the town, thereby making up in assessed Valua- ton for the loss of this particular property from the grand list. Sirni- lar land in Bloomfield and Windsor Is selling for from three hundred to a thousand dollars an acre. The property is well worth the money to the county, adapted as it is to the purpose intended and in a few years will look very cheap, situated only a short distance from Maple Hill where quarter acre lots are selling for from three hundred to six hun dred dollars q lot. Your commits sion have realized this increase in values. have voted to purchase the property, have instructed the county 
 searched and the transaction closed On or before March 25, 1918.
 They have no idea of hurting the town of NeWington and wish 10 CO., operate with the town to the mutual advantage and progress of all con- cerned. I would call your attention to the fact that Mrs Robbins. who has written a letter of protest to the Hartford COurant, sold a tract west of the trolley line and adjacent to the Newington church to a firm of land spectators who cut 1t up and sold it in lots to people who have built many small houses on the prop erty. This did not improve Newing- ton center from a high class residen- tial standpoint but these people must have a place to live and from year to year will contribute moro and more to the wealth and prosperity of the town of Newington.
 I would also call attention to the fact that the town meeting to be held Monday evening, March 18th in New ington, was called to buy 2 fire en- zine and the matter of the Hartford

 l believe that the majority of those now raising the cry of excessive price arc those who found that opposition from a sentimental standpoint made no impression and now raise the cry of excessive price with the idea of defeating the whole proposition and are in fact standing in their own light and in the way of progress. I regret exceedingly that I am obliged to diff fer with some of my NcWingtcn friends in this matter but feel it my duty to consider the greatest good of the greatest number. As I said in the beginning I have nothing to con ceal and have no desire to hurt the town of NeWinGton.

 by the way stated he would be per- fectly willing to purchase the land

 and make success of it,---unani-
 mously recommended the sele eotion of
 the Long Bros. farm in Nevington 1 and the recommendation was adopted
 by the commission at it's meeting held in the County building March 11th. Senator klott was not a mem OCT of
 the subcommittee on land
 The Long Bros farm was selected for the following reasons: 1t is To- cated in the town of Newington,
 about six miles from the ceT.ter of
 Hartford and about four miles from
 the center of New Britain cu the line
 of the Hartford-New Britain trolley at Robbins corner, therefore it is ac-
 cessible. It is within the linit of one fare from Hartford and ono fare from New Britain. This is a material consideration for the mothers and wives of the men who are so unfor- tunate as to be confined in the jail The state highway from Hartford to
 New Haven runs through the farm. The property consists of four pieces of land beginning at Maple Hill, south of the trolley, extending easterly over the road from Newington center to the state highway, then over the state highway over the side of Cedar mountain and on the top of the
 mountain to the highway and con- |, tains about two hundred and twelve
 acres. Three quarters of the land is
 first class farm land suitable for rais-
 ing potatoes, corn, rye and hay. The
 best potato land Is a tract containing
 fifteen or twenty acres on TOD of the
 mountain. There is a good sized
 brook on the western part of the farm, a. smaller one in the center and a large spring on the mountain
 from which the water is conveyed in
 pipes to the buildings. There is q
 place east of the farm buildings suit
 able for a sewage disposal plant.
 There is hill containing sand and
 gravel on the land. There is a ledge
 of rock that can be quarricd if
 needed. The farm house contains
 thirteen large rooms, with hardwood
 floors and all modern convenences.
 To build it today would cost fifteen
 thousand dollars and a thousand dol
 lars will put it in first class condition.
 There is a barn built about nine
 years ago that houses fifty cows and
 ten or a dozen horses. The barn
 would cost eight or nine thousand dollars to build There are two large
 silos, a big pig pen, milk shed and a building for farm implements and tools. There is a hill south of the farming buildings suitable for the location of the jail.
 It has been called the best farm In the town of Newington and has the highest assessment
 Taking it altogether it Is /. good farm and as well adapted for a site for the jail of Hartford couNty as ! could be found in the state of Con- necticut Now the owners of this 1 farm are men of means and not I obliged to sell at Q sacrifice. They | did not offer this farm to the county | but the committee was obliged to go to | them. The commission has the pow 1 CT to condemn land, but under the | circumstances it did not seeul fair to ! take advantage of it. Long Bros.
