Leveling Approach

Men with team and scraper are
levclinc and raising & grade the
west approach to Northern avenue
viaduct. Rain and lack of care has
caused the grade to drop down sew
eral feet and the roadway was badly
rutted. Crushed shale has been
dumped on the grade TO bring it up
and when properly leveled will make
the crossing much more satisfactory
to traffic. An iron railing, with
standards set in the cement abutment
has been placed along the north
pedestrian approach to the viaduct

MIR. HALLIWELL VICTIM
 OF APPENDICITIS
Former Principal of Sharon
 School Dies in Tor = rington

The following account of the death of John W. Haliwell, formerly prin- cipal in the Sharon High School and we'll known in this vicinity, appeared in the Torrington Register" on Tuesday: u~..s
 John Wesley Halliwell, former principal of the Torrington high school and one of the most promi- nent young men of the town, died at the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital at Torrington at 9:20 o'clock this morning. He underwent an opera tion for appendicitis at the hospital last Friday morning, and failed to rally from the operation. He was in critical condition yesterday but seemed to show some signs of rally ing last night. Dr. Elias Pratt, his physician, and one of the surgeons who operated on him, gave the fam fly little encouragement yesterday morning. ht
 MT. Halliwell' was in Hartford early last week on business in con- nection with the opening of his in- surance office and after returning complained of illness. Believing that he had eaten something while in Hartford that had caused ptomaine poisoning he consulted Dr. Pratt who at once diagnosed his trouble as ap- pendicitis. The failure of MT. Halli- well to rally from the operation was probably due to his weakened condi- tion from hard work and worry.
 Mr. Halliwell was exceedingly popular among the younger business men and was destined to take high place in the esteem of all the people

LIEUT.-covERNoR's TRIBUTE
To Governor Lake and Chairman J. Henry Roraback

Lieutenant Governor Templeton, in an address at Waterbury last Tuesday night, said that, of all the men he has met in public life, none has appealed to him more than Governor Lake and Chairman Rora- back of the republican state central committee. He was speaking to a meeting of the Mems League- of the First Congregational Church.
 Declaring that many people mis- understood MT. 'Roraback, MT. Tenn pleton said that he didn't know of a better, straighter or cleaner business man in state politics. "Of course people talk about him." he said. Every big man is talked about. You never hear a tramp talked about and when one little boy climbs on a fence, other little boys will fire snowballs at him. That's human nature. But in all my dealings with MT. Roraback, I never knew him to break a promise or make promise that he couldn't keep. He is a man of clean character and tremendous political ability. It is men like Gov ernor Lake and MT. Roraback who are in most of the offices of the state, and the state is run as cleanly snd we'll as any that I know of"
