INVESTIGATIONS
ORDERED BY Court
Vermont Judge Interested in New
Britain WOman'S Divorce

Brattleboro, VT, Aug. AT the
session of the Windham county court
held here before Judge Sherman r.
Mouton of Burlington, Judge Warner
A. Graham, counsel for Mrs. Elise
Hall of New Britain, Conn. asked that
an investigation be made OF the ro-
mantle surrounding of the three minor
children Of Mrs. Hall, the custody of
whom was given to the latter's moth
er-in-law Mrs. Orchar Hall of Bel
lows Falls when her son Lee, was
given a divorce on the grounds of
intolerable severity.
Judge Graham asserted that the
elder Mrs. Halls husband had recent
ly left her and had gone away with
another woman and that Mrs. Hall
was travelling about the state in an
automobile attempting to locate him.
1t is reported that one of the minor
children accompanied the grand
mother on several of these trips and
both slept in the car at night on the
road.
Judge Graham contended that the
Hall home was not the proper place
for the children and that they were
not being taken care of properly.
Judge Moulton after hearing Mrs.
Halls own story ordered an imme-
date investigation.
Lee Hall was wanted by the New
Britain police several weeks ago on
q charge of non-support, but due to
the pending divorce action in the To-
cal court he was not taken to Con-
necticut.

MAY END ICE WORK
AT SHUTTLE MEADOW
Collapse Of Runway at Reservoir May
Put Finish to City Competing
With Dealers

II suppose that means the end of
ice cutting at Shuttle Meadow" COM
mented Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa this
morning when discussing the report
that the runway at the Shuttle
Meadow lake ice house had fallen
down.
About II years ago the ice dealers
in this section held meeting at New
Haven in April and set the price of
ice. The new price was to take
effect May or June /. At that time
the people were aroused to a state of
indignation and In order to save the
citizens some money the city began
cutting its own ice on the Shuttle
Meadow reservoir.
1t was proposed to build an arti-
fetal ice manufacturing plant and
committee, of which Mayor Paonessa
was a member, investigated. The
plant, to supply 80 tons per day,
would have cost $4,000. The en-
tire income of the city at that time
was only s75o,0o0 so the project was
abandoned.
Since that time other ice dealers
have entered into the business and
has kept the price
within reasonable bounds. The city
probably has not made any more,
and according to the mayor, some
times it has lost, so the collapse Of
the runway. probably means the end
of ice cutting at that place.
