New Britain herald., 1919-09-17

the beekeepers in town and stated this morning that every bee owner must register not later than October l. The registration fee is 25 cents and anyone failing to register by the time speci- fled is subject to fine of $5. The legislature took this step to stamp out diseases among the bees of which some owners fail to realize the seri- ousness. There are a number of bee raisers in town who keep their bees in any -old place and thereby make it easy for diseases to break out among them.
 This registration measure is taken so that the inspectors may know just who owns bees in the town and take steps to weed out any diseased colo nleS.
 Finance Board Meets.
 The town finance board met last evening at the town clerks office to go over the budget for the comlng year and to make the necessary recommen- dations. The budget ot the school board was not presented so that the work of the committee will have to hold over until they present their budget for the next year. There was a delegation from the Blue Hills dis trict requesting that something be done on the roads in that place. NOth- ing could be done for them, however, as such matters have to be decided at d regular town meeting.
 Who Has the Tire?
 Someone took one of the rear tires off from Joe ScOilIOicks machine last evening when it was standing in front of the Nutmeg house in kenSlngtOn. JOes didn't so much mind the loss of the tire as he did the fact that he had a little trip to make to Hartford, and of course he couldn't run the rim. He is beginning to think that some one wanted to spoil his nice little trip and that he will get the tire by parcel post in a day or two.
