way VIII DC constructed .n the south
 ern section of Montafn View. This part of the town is not fully devel- oped as yet and here is much room | for extension in the opinion of the officials of the town. The Landers
 Frary & Clark company of New Bri- tain. will assist in this work and the
 matter is at present under serious
 consideration. The plan is to build highway which will connect the streets which at the present time have dead" ends.
 A short time ago, the tract of land under consideration was looked over by Se1ectman William J. Johnson, Postmaster Peter J. Prior and Colonel H. A. Johnson of the Landers, Frary & Clark company. The property in the southern section of Mountain View is owned by that factory. Col onel Johnson was in favor of the proposed highway and announced his
 intention of taking the matter be- fore the proper officials at the plant
 The connecting of this highway with the present streets will work a great improvement for that section and will eliminate the dead" ends Another improvement which will eventually be had, should the streets be connected, that mail will be de- livered by the rural carrier to all the residents. The government does not permit the mail carriers to deliver mail where there are dead" ends on streets as it takes a great deal of time for the postman to walk down The street and then not be able to strike out on another highway, but be forced to wend his way back again until all the territory is cov- cred. in this respect. The TrumbulI flats are fast growing and with this piece of land fully developed, that section of the town will be built up with gratifying results. ? Pastors Salary Reduced.
 The estimating committee of the A. M. F. Zion church, appointed by the pastor. Rev. E. F. Barrows, held a meeting at the church last night The committee is: John c. Baker of Arch street, New Britain, Clifton Johnson, James Beverly and Mrs. Julia c. Baker of PlainvilIe.
 Without consulting Rev. MT. Bar rows with regard to the salary he would be willing to accept for the year, the committee recommended to pay $150 less than he had received last year. This did not appeal to the pastor as no reason for the re- duction was given. Rev. MT. Bar rows told the committee that it was a decidedly poor way to show their appreciation for his faithful and in telligent services of several years, and he would not agree to the p,ropo- sition. The same committed was therefore appointed to bring in a statement next Wednesday at 8 o'clock in the evening. If the pastor and the conference fail to reach an agreement on the salary, it will be decided at the first quarterly con- ference to be held on July 19, of this year.
 Rev. MT. Barrows has been pastor of the local church for several years and has been successful in increas- ing the membership. The financial condition of the church is excellent according to reports of the commit tees. Rev. MT. Barrows was reap pointed to the church at the recent Zion conference at New Haven.

He was driving down West Main street towards the cen ter when the chain or gears evident ly became entangled and the car, a small two scatter, with sort of movement made for Hem mingway's store. A few jerks and jumps and it came to a dead stop after unsuccessfully attempting to climb the iron railing in front of the store.
