of Hartford presided and reserved his decision until a later date.
 Judge Case acted as a committee l from the superior court in order to hear both sides of the case. Attorney Andrew J. Broughel of | Hartford was counsel for the resi- dents in the immediate section where the new road is to be built and who have opposed the highway. Judge Bernard F. Gaffney of New Britain repre-. .onted the town
 Attorney Broughel argued for his clients that the road was not a ne- cessity and that the highway running from Broad street at Bank was a suitable passway for the Casting com pany, and there was no need of building the proposed road, which would affect the property of his clients considerably.
 The defendants counsel felt that the road was necessary and the need of a good one was seen for some time in that section. The highway has al ready been started and the postpone ment of the hearing on the case has held the matter up in the air for more than a year.

 The board of selectmen has issued a notice calling the legal voters of the town to attend a special town meeting which will be held Friday evening, Sept. 29, to act on the ques- ton of allowing moving pictures to be shown in this town on Sundsy nights. as prescribed in chapter 146 of the public acts of 1919.
 The petition, headed by C. B. East man, owner of the new Community ] theater on Whiting street has been | signed by 49 other citizens of Plain- vile who are In favor of Sunday movies providing they are operated under certain restrictions.
 The question of having pictures on Sunday nights at the Community the ater has been the bone of contention between local residents for several months past, and with the town meeting being called to allow the voters to pass judgment on it by bal lot, 1t is believed the matter will be settled for all time.
 Selectman Johnson, on receiving the petition from Mir. Eastman. ap peared pleased with the stand the theater manager had taken and stat ed that that was the proper stand to take, to let the people decide for the i'm in the hands of the selectmen. When the selectmen voted on it, it was in the face of several letters and pet,- tions against 1t and very few came forward to urge them to approve of it. This caused the members of the board to down it with the exception of Selectman Frederick Spencer.
 The act as prescribed in Chapter 146, of the public acts of 1919 relat ing to Sunday motion pictures, is as follows:
 "An Act Concerning Moving
 Pictures On Sunday" Section 1-The selectmen of any town. the mayor and aldermen or common council of any city, or the warden and burgess of any borough, any town or city or borough at meeting legally warned, may by a vote. authorize moving picture exhi- bitions on Sundays between the hours of seven and ten-thirty o'clock D. m, provided action taken by any such meeting on such question shall super sede and render void any action by the officials aforesaid

 Attendance nt Berlin Schools. Superintendent of Schools B. R. Showalter, in his annual report, placed considerable stress on the sub ject of attendance in schools. It follows:
 Attendance.
 The nearer one approaches 100 per cent. in attendance or any other line of activity the more difficult it be- comes to make improvement A year ago our children achieved an average of 92 percent attendance This was a decided improvement over former years.
 For the past year the percent of attendance has been 94.12 percent This record is splendid one for a town which has no truant officer. It has been achieved through the pains taking care of the teachers, together with a careful follow-up by the su- perintendent, and in certain cases by the activities of the state attendance agent, Mir Merz.
 Relatively the greatest amount of absence occurs in the primary grades, Each year sees minor waves and epi- denies of children's diseases which cut down the attendance in the lower grades.
 There are some cases where chill dren are kept at home to mind the baby" "to watch the house while mother goes to New Britain" and at

"Some members of the Labor
Board admit" said Mr.. Cleary,
"that they erred in their decisions
on these mooted questions and
have promised to take them up
later.
"This strike declared the labor
leader" is directly up to the rail
road management to settle as they
have refused to accept the sugges-
tons of the President and his
cabinet to end the strike"
Speaking of conditions locally
Mr. Clearly said, "instead of losing
men from our ranks only one has
gone back to work and he began
work Wednesday morning. The
rest are still out and some of the
men who went to work since the
strike began have quit work. The
road refused to pay Us 80 cents an
hour yet they are paying the new
men so cents an hour, and in some
instances at the Terminal one dol
lar an hour. They are also paying
some men for "a hours who are
only working eight hours. This is
true on some parts of both the
Boston & Maine and the New York
New Haven & Hartford systems.

know whether the water system
was owned by him personally, or
by Scott M. Farnum and Wife;
that he never had kept any books
and did not know the exact eX-
pense or income from the system
which cost him $1,000 and for
which he asked $4,000, but
thought the income in 1921 was
about SAT-. Mr.. Farnum also
testified that he had never made
but one income tax return. Be-
sides Mr.. Farnum, Monroe d. Ped
ley and DR.. +. l.. Dwinell testi-
fled in favor of the increase in
rate.
The patrons of the system who
testified in protest against an adj
vance in rate were r. r. Davis, b.

about the case c. f. Dana, w. T.
McGovern and George Lenton.
Man witnesses were trere to testi-

ton Of Mr.. Farnum by Attorney
Hill, in view Of the great interest
in the case and the big crowd
present, excellent order was main
tanned throughout the hearing.
Through some misunderstand-
ing, the petitioners were without
legal counsel when the hearing
was begun in the forenoon, but
word was sent to Mr.. Hill at St.
Johnsbury, who was OH hand af-
tel the short noon recess to help
guide the case to a successful is
sue. After the decision was an
nounced the crowd showed its APP
probation of his efforts by giving
him quite a demonstration of APP
proval as well as a substantial
sum of money from the patrons Of
the water system. The purse was
presented by Mr. Bixby.
The patrons of the system feel
sure that the hearing will result
in better service in the future, for
if this is not the case, something
more definite will have to be done
about it. The system has the
monopoly of the water supply for
Lyndon village, and serves a con-
stituency too large for the reser-
voir capacity, except under the
most favorable conditions, but at
the same time a constituency that
for the prices not operative is en-

conform with the advance of rates

and, and he could get it sawed for

give a quarters rent and So in

ticularly warned the men not to
break the law. When they do this
they ought to be punished. We
don't know who committed the dis

certainly were not planned by our
