BEDDING

Bedding, Jan 9-Cotncidentauy with the winding up of the Bedding Home Guard, which Is under orders to be mustered out by Jan. IT, there has sprung promisingly into being movement looking to the building of the new town house which Bedding so badly needs. The need has been keenly felt for years, but much talk on the subject of meeting 1t has re- suited in nothing further than the purchase of the Dayton lot at the Center and thereby the providing or a site. The approaching dissolution or the Home Guard suggested to Lieut. Muennieh and some of the other members that the energies heretofore employed in a military way might well be diverted to the realization or the town hall project. On Tuesday evening the Guard held their final drill at the Danbury armory ana al the business meeting which followed the plan was launched with the en- fhusiastic approval of the members There had been some idea of continu- ing the Guards civic organization, but that was abandoned when 1t was learned that the state would not al low the members to retain their uni forms. The first action of the business meeting was to auction off the three target rifles and the equipment cab- inets. These realized about $40. The guard owns a $50 Liberty bond and has some cash in the treasury, mak- ing total assets of about S100. Of this nearly $50 must be paid the state to make good equipment losses, 1eay- mig a balance of about the same an- ount.
 With this business out of the way Lieut.. NAuennbch advanced and advo- cated the town hall project and it re-
 ceived unanimous approval. As the starting point of providing ways and means for carrying it into execution 1 it was decided to appoint a committee of ten to raise funds with Captain Barnes as chairman and a member ship representing the three main sec tions of the town. For Georgetown there were named B. B. Banks, Ray FleWeilyn and Paul Connery; for West Bedding, E. P. Sanford, George Johnson and Joel Hawley, and for the Ridge and Center, John Muen- nich, P. Britt Nash and IA, c. Bar nett, J. B, Sanford was chosen the committee's secretary and treasurer. This committee will undertake the
 raising of money for the project by giving entertainments and perhaps so- liciting subscriptions and expectations
 will be disappointed if the first year 8 efforts do not result in providing ad least s500, Whatever the sum ob-
 tained the town will probably be asked to appropriate an equal amount, The towns liberal support of all the financial war measures sub
 nlitted to 1t shows what the citizens
 are capable Of when their interest is fullJ aroused and warrants the confi-
 denee felt that the new project will
 command @ quick and generous re- sponse.

the town needs g building which will afford proper offices for its official and business boards, 8 court room, probably lookup in the basement a vault for the keeping of the public records and a large hall suitable for meetings and entertainments. It is also proposed that there shall be plac- ed in the building memorial tablet for men who have done service in the war and perhaps also provided room for the storing of war relics. Early in the course of the entertain ments soon to be arranged there will probably be presented a comedy by Sergeant Nash to which he is now putting the finishing touches.
 Harry 1I. Lounsbury, only child of Mir and Mrs. Harry A Lounsbury, died oa Monday evening at the home which he recently built in the George town section, his demise resulting from double pneumonia after a brief illness. His age was 22, and he was held in high regard by the commun- ity. 4 wife and infant child survive him. The former Is now seriously i'll with influenza, her second attack of the same disease since last fall. The younger Lounsburys attended on Christmas day family gathering re- presenting five generations which was held with the parents of the deceased young man. Since that occasion three of the party have been stricken, the third being Mrs. Harry A. Lounsbury i who remains severely i'll from laryn- l gitis with complications.
 70 a,-io NR 1 offensive depredations committed at 1 the Georgetown depot, the miscon- ] duct including a breaking into the building in the night season and the l tracing on the walls of indecent | phases of pictures, were arraigned
 before Justice Joel Godfrey on Tues l day, charged with trespass. Grand l Juror Sanford issued the warrant on complaint of Special Officer More house representing the railroad, and 1 Deputy Sheriff Banks made the ar
 rest. All pleaded guilty and were l each fined s1.OO and costs. The l Carlton, Lloyd Clark, Roswell Lock-
 wood, Paul Nordman and Arthur l Patterson. all pleaded guilty and
 were each fined $1 and costs. The | fine was remitted and the costs.
 amounting to s6.5o in each case, were l paid.
 l Instead of showing a slight increase | in accordance with the preliminary
 estimates of the assessors the new
 grand list suffers a shrinkage of
 s2,074 in comparison with last years total. This will doubtless be changed
 to some extent by the work of the
 board of relief who hold their first
 session on the first Monday in Feb
 ruary. The revised grand list last
 year was $1,s08,sS0. The practically stationary condition of the list is
 chiefly accounted for by the fact
 that last year there was much less
 building than in previous years.

ELkS CELEBRATE
 33RD BIRTHDAY

All paths will lead to the Elks' club on State street this evening, when every wearer of the antlers will meet to participate in the big anni- versary celebration of the local lodge, this being its 3Srd birthday. Com nittees have completed their ar engagements, the dinner will be ready on time, the big show will start with a jump at the appointed hour, and joy will reign supreme, for at least four hours, if the committee can crowde all the talent into the limited period. It will be perhaps the big gest array of talent ever gathered together at one time in this city. Bill Steinke is rehearsing new Scotch songs for his one-act playlet. "A Cowboy in Kits" All who have wit messed this say 1t Is scream. An tonic Morello, Donald Drew, Arnold Martin and many other stars on big time circuit have never been heard in this city before. Ernie Lynch with his 12 songbirds will take up at least one half hour, while Matt Saunders with his troupe will hold the boards for at least one hour. Loren Del bridge, Joe Weller and other soloists will have their place on the program, while Jim Saunders and Company and Joe Lees strong men will add their strength in making the celebra- ton a success. An added feature will be Charlie Hutchinson in "Imt- tations,' a classy act everyone says who have witnessed 1t.
 Prior to the entertainment the reg ular lodge meeting will take place at which 20 prominent citizens will be initiated into the order, the degree work being exemplified by the officers of the lodge. More than 500 Elks from this and other cities will help Bridgeport lodge make their 33rd anniversary a real success.

Captain Stewart, Wintrup and PLAN
the three backheld men who are on the
injured list were all on the field yester-
day but did not get in much OF the

get in the practice he was put at centre

IS possible that Stewart may be moved
back TO centre but Holton has been do

general impression is that he will start
the opening game there and Stewart at
