 i Pupils in the seventh and eighth | grades of the Franklin school are planning to take part.
 l Considerable objection to the esta1o- | 1hsimeL- of an eight foot fence line on Main street from the BeardsIey ! | i expressed at the hearing before the seIectn2en on Friday night. Judge Frank L Wilder of Bridgeport and 1 Architect Fred Beckwith appeared for ! OIof ClriEtianson, the owner of the old SelIeck property, and told of what a hardship it might be if the build ings on the property were eight feet from the fence line.
 Many branches of trees were blown off, stucco from the Ed Thompson house on Main street torn off, a, large poplar tree uprooted on Church street and q house partly erected at Par
 adise Lawn twisted about during the severe storm of Friday night. It will ibe necessary to tear down the house at Paradise Lawn.
 One of the most serious bits of dam age was done to the Webb ice house at Peck's Mill, the whole east side of the house being blown down.
 Cats are of value and the bill to register and tag all felines over six
 months old pending in the state legis-
 lature is harmful according to the
 HousatOnic Grange of this town which
 has had circular letters sent to the
 other granges about the state asking
 that they influence their represent atIVeS to do what they can to kill the
 bill. The members of the grange say
 that the cats are useful in keeping
 rats from barns and fields.
 Work on the three story building
 block to be built at the center by
 Harold C. Lowell is to start this spring and completed before fall. The build
 ing will be 120 feet long and extend
 from central fire station to the post office block. It will be modern in i every respect and contain stores, of-
 fees and apartments.
 The Easter sale to be held by the W7onlan's Aid society of the Congre-
 gational church will take place Thurs } day, April 10.
