Observation-Disclosures Briefs.
Mrs. Samuel Stefanick was found
guilty Of violating the state laws with
regard to lighting fire outside the
limits of the city fire district without
Il permit from the state fire warden
and was fined $50 and costs in the
town court Saturday night. She was
arrested by Officer Andrew Hogan at
the instance Of Deputy Fire Warden
Hughes of New Britain. The case was
tried before Justice Stanley s. CIVIL
lin and when Mrs. Stefanick pleaded
ignorance OF the law, $40 Of the fine
was RENTED.
The state warden and his staff OF
deputies issue a warning to all resi-
dents in the outlying districts that no
fires can be lighted without permits
at this time of the year. The state
law has taken cognizance Of the fact
that this is the season Of high winds
and the danger to the woodlands OF
the state is so great that drastic ac-
ton will be taken against all Nolators
of the law. A permit may be secur-
ed IL the danger is found not to be
tco great.
Court Trial Today.
The town court will be in session
this afternoon to hear the postponed
cases of two truck drivers who were
arrested by State Policeman Palmer
for carrying more than legal capacity
loads. Upon their first appearance,
the drivers requested continuance.
Special Town Meeting
A special town meeting will be held
in the Town hall Wednesday evening
at o'clock for the purpose OF au-
thorizing the school board and the
board OF selectmen to purchase land
for school buildings and to make nee
essary appropriations. The schooi
facilities in Plainville have become in
adequate for the needs Of the town
and the question Is an important one.
The time is near at hand when It
will be necessary to build high
school, as both New Britain and Bris-
tol have signified their Intentions OF
not taking any more pupils from
Plainville. The reason for this Is that
the schools in those cities are already
overcrowded and the room taken up
by the local pupils must be given over
to the pupils in the respective cities.
To Attend Recital
A large number OF Plainville peo-
pie will attend the second FORMAL re-
cita Of Miss Lois Phelps. 1s-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. Fl.
Phelps of Whiting street, at the Gen.
ter church house In Hartford this
evening. The recital will be given
under the auspices Of the julius HART
School OF Music. Miss Phelps made {
4 very favorable impression on the
occasion of her last recital and played {
, difficult program with astonishing s
skill She is a master OF technique :
md is considered a prodigy at the G
piano.

Tub will reorganize this season under a
he able management Of Peter Duffy t
Ind William Cunningham. The first v
practice will be held next Saturday a
lfternoon. The same lineup will be
