EOUSATONIC VALLEY
 ROAD CONTRACT LET
C. w. Blakeslee Lowest Bidder for First Ten-Mile
 Section

Bids were opened at Hartford Tuesday for sections 1 and of the Ho1satonic Valley road and the low est bidder was c. W. Blakeslee of New Haven. Section 1, consisting of piece two miles long north of New Milford will be constructed of trap rock. Section 2, or the balance of the piece contracted for, consist ing of 37,119 feet, will be construct ed of concrete at cost of $6.70 per cubic yard, the state to furnish the cement.
 In March 1920 the same concern figured on the Hartford-New London turnpike, section 8, calling for 14,4OO cubic yards of concrete pave ment, the state to furnish the ce- ment and the bid was $13.70 per cubic yard. From Tuesdays bid for 15,380 cubic yards at $6.70, it will be seen that the cost is only about one-half that of 1920. As further comparison between the Hartford New London highway and the bid on the Housatonic road, the cost of +he former was $39,50O per mile, not lHSIdGIlS SIdClIlS, NilAlS IL 10 S>SL- mated that the new road will cost about $22,700 per mile, not including grading.
 On section 2 of the Valley road the earth excavation amounts to 43, ,76O cubic yards, the borrow is 8,2OO cubic yards; rock excavation 9,830 cubic yards and the wet exca- vation 56O cubic yards. The total of all excavation amounts to 62,350 cubic yards.
 The cost of the concrete com pleted highway in this particular section is approximately $35,00O per mile, or $4,00O per mile cheaper than the Hartford-New London turn pike road, which was built of the some material. From these figures it is assumed Commissioner Bonnet will readily recognize the advisability of making the entire road from Ca naan to New Milford of concrete, for the cost of maintenance of concrete road is so much less than on other kinds of construction.
 Fourteen different contractors from Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York state submitted bids for this work. C. W. Blakeslee of New Haven, the lowest bidder receiving the contract.

EVERGREENS LOSE TWO
 FAST GAMES LAST WEEK
Lose to Colebrook by Score of H9-36, and to Mill River,
 3O-23

The Evergreen A. C. lost two fast games last week, one to Colebrook 49-36, and one to Mill River 30-23. The Mill River game was the first the local five has lost in town.
 Colebrook 49; Evergreens 36
 The Evergreens got off to a bad start and Colebrook ran up a pretty formidable score in the first half, the figures standing 31 to 12 in their favor at the end of that period. The locals came back with a rush in the second half and scored five baskets before Colebrook sank one. The Evergreens made more points in this half than Colebrook, but were unable to overcome their eighteen point lead in the first sessicn. Bees, Bald win and O'Neil did all scoring for Canaan while Densloe, Doty and Williams starred for Colebrook Dem sloc alone made twenty-six points. Beaujon did good work in the second half, keeping Williams from scoring.

DECISION RESERVED IN
 EDWARD CURTIS CASE
Salisbury Man Claims to Have Been Illegally
 Committed

After a lengthy argument between Lawyer Thomas J. Wall of Torring- ton and State Attorney Walter H. Holcomb of Litchield county, Judge Thomas in the United States court Friday took under consideration the question as to whether Edward C.. Curtis of Salisbury was illegally com mitted to the Connecticut State hos pital at Middletown and should be liberated. Following further. argil- ment, in which MT. Wall accused the state attorney of prosecuting Curtis, Judge Thomas also denied a motion to allow Curtis his liberty under bail while deciding whether he is being confined illegally. In answer to the charges that MT. Holcomb had been making all of the trouble for Curtis, the state attorney said that he woIld prefer not to go into all the details, but that he would oppose giving Cur tis his liberty while the matter was in court.
 Curtis was brought into court from the state hospital and greeted a number of persons from Litchield cordially while awaiting his hearing. While the arguments were in pro- gress, he sat beside MT. Wall and several times whispered to him as the cac went on. Hhe took a keen interest in the arguments and once or twice nodded his approval to the remarks of his counsel.
 Curtis troubles began several years ago when he brought action in the Litchfeld county court for di- vorce from his wife. It was indirect ly through that case that he finally published and circulated a libalous publication relative to Judge Lucien F. Burpee of the superior court. He was sent to jail for nine months and to work out the costs of the case on a charge of criminal libel, and a charge of contempt of court was held pending against him. Several other matters of litigation arose while he was in jail, and finally he was de-

ABOUT 75 MEET WITH
 THE SELECTMEN
Majority Seem to Frown on Spending Money on
 Old Hall

There were about seventy-fve rep resentative citizens present at the meeting called by the selectmen last Friday evening for the purpose of ascertaining what the public wished to do in regard to the condition of the town hall The interest shown was highly pleasing to the town fathers and they hope that much good will come from it.
 The selectmen decided that a chairman should be appointed to pre- side and J. Clinton Roraback was so elected. He called upon various persons present for their opinions. The result of this expression of opinion was that the majority seem ed to think it unadvisable to spend any great amount of money in re- pairing the old town hall.
 H. E. Lyles stated that it seemed to him very foolish for the select!nen to do anything regarding the matter until the state police made some de- finite statement as to the require ments of building of this kind.
 Dr. J. E. Hassett's idea was that whatever was done regarding the town hall, the school situation should not be forgotten. He thought that a suitable building should be erected for town purposes, that the children from East Canaan should be trans ported to the local school and proVi- sion made in the new building for the high school.
 J. L. Parsons also thought it 'ln- wise to spend any money on the old building. He thought that for the use of the choral union, etc., the present building would serve the purpose.
 J. Henry Roraback said that not a week had gone by in the last ten years that he had not felt concerned regarding the safety of the town hall. He said North Canaan was self- respecting community and as such should have a town hall of which we should not be ashamed. MT. Rora- back made motion, which was un- animously passed, that the selectnen appoint committee of not less than five, one of whom will be an expert builder, with instructions to make a careful examination of the condi- tion of the town hall and find out approximately the cost of putting the present building in safe and respectable condition; also to get some idea as to what the cost of a new building would be and report at a future meeting.
 R. D. Peirce reported that he had made an examination of the cellar and foundations of the building and he was sorry to report that he felt that the hall would stand any loa1 placed upon it.

TO ASSIST BLIND
Names Of All Blind or Partially
 Persons Wanted

The State Board of Education of the Blind, with an cffice at Room "A, State Capitol, Hartford, is sending blanks 70 the solectmen in each of the 1G8 towns in this state. asking them to send in the names cf those who are blind, or nearly so. in their town. The State Beard desires this infor- 0ncGo1 th2t it noay help neonle who havo lest their sight in the best WAY possible.
 The scope of this Board has been enlarged, so that it is now able t) do something to bring comfort and well being to larger number of children and adults than before. The chil- dren are sent to a special school and, as they approach adult life, are taught a trade and later are helped to secure employment. The adults, both men and women, can also be sent to a trade school and, after they have learned a trade, the State Board will help them to get employment, if they are capable. For the adults who are getting old, or for those who cannot leave their home for one reason or another, the State Board has home teachers, who are them selves blind, who can be sent to the home to teach them to read with their fingers and to do remunerative work with their hands. In every case, the expense of any of this work is met by the State.

 Stanard started the scoring for the visitors with fine shot from near the entrance. Baldwin soon evened it up for the locals. Then Mill River ran the score to 10-2, when, with three minutes to play, the Eevrgreens started a fast offensive and carried their points to twelve which Mill River tied. After the visitors had called time out with twenty seconds to play, Baldwin, play being resumed, sank another for Canaan and the whistle found the score 14-12 with the locals leading.

WHITTLESEY'S REPORT
 ON TUBERCULOSIS
About One Third of Animals Tested Are Con-
 demned

The monthly report of J. M. Whittlesey, Commissioner of Domes- tic Animals, should prove of interest to every person, inasmuch as there are but few who do not use milk daily. Commissioner Whittlesey is concentrating his efforts at present to the eradication of bovine tuber- culosis, on the ground that it is a menace to public health.
 Posters have been distributed broadcast about the state which are hoped to inform the public regarding this daily menace. The state depart ment of health say: "The use of milk from tuberculous cows constitutes distant menace to public health. The finding of able investigators show that a very large proportion of tu- berculosis in young children is of the bovine type.
