Fire House 4 Boomerang

That the proposel to move the Oncas fire company to a site on to hee Federal Hill section and sell the present firehouse on North Main street has proven a political boomerang to certain policitians of the city, seems the sentiment of political leaedrs today. The political 'dopesters' say that the effort was made to reconcile the hill section more strongly to certain banne, which will be flown in the city elec- tion next fall and instead of doing this, the stirup, which caused the dropping through of the proposition has made enemies for the political machine, which tried it. In addition the Northsde section is up in arms over the attempt to take away this fire house and therein lies another antagonistic element, which must be .paeimied before the next election. Instead of making political capital, the politicians say that the propose change cstranged many of the here- tofore friends of the men, back of the movement an consequently has proven a harsh boomerang.

Meeker's Moving Mountain
 Has Stopped Its Moving

Meeker. Colo, March 26.-Meek- CTS moving mountain has stopped it's trek into the Rio Blanca valley after having shifted approximately 15O yards to a broader base, ob- servers today declared.
 Beyond the phenomenon of the shifting which geologists say is not unusual except in cases of peaks as high and large as the Meeker moving mountain. the present meandering of this moun- tain caused little excitement in the region, except to block the highway between rifle and this town for a distance of some 500 yards.
 The voyage" will go down in history without damage or destruc- tion. In fact, residents of the re- zion stated today that by filling up a gulch in the Rio Blanca valley, the towns of Meeker and Rifle will be spared the expense of building a bridge 10 complete a projected high way.

J|TNEY FRANCHISE PETITION DENIED Simsbary-NeW Haven Route
 Rejected by ?. J. C. DECLARED UNNECESSARY
Failure to Elect Park Commissioners Causes Surprise Admiral Sims Scheduled - Proposed Firehouse Removal Considered Boomerang.

Denial of the application of An- thony Carone and Thomas O'Brier of this city for jitney franchise between Simsbury and New Haven. operating in connection with pres ent Bristol and Simsbury service has been made by the public utilities commission. Tn its decision yester- day the commission describes at length, the present transportation service between Plainville and New Haven and from Simsbury to Hart ford, declaring the Simsbury-Hart- ford service Is ample to meet all re- quirements of the district affected and that passengers for New Haven may transfer to the steam railroad in Hartford. Assurances of the Con- necticut Co, of cutdown In its running time between Plainville and New Haven from two hours to an hour and 45 minutes, is also spoken of in the decision.
 In handing down the decision, the commission said While 1t would probably accommodate limited number of residents of Plainville, Pennington, Avon and Simsbury, de- siring to go to shore resorts near New Haven in the summer time to use the jitney service, without hav- ing to transfer, it does not appear from the evidence presented at the hearing that the present jitney. street, railway and steam railroad service, either alone or in combina- tion, are inadequate to supply the summer travel or the daily normal travel between those points and New Haven
 The hearing was held on January 7, when the petition of the local men was presented to the commits mission by former Mayor Joseph F. Dutton of this city. The applica- tion was placed before the commits sion after many requests had been made of the Bristol -Simsbury man. agement to extend the service to the Elm City as the steam trains to- tailed two a day and to travel to New Haven by way of Plainville meant jitney to Plainville and then a transfer to the trolley cars for a two hour trip. Otherwise, transefrs at Avon and Hartford were neces- sary or transfers at Pennington and Hartford had to be made. 6 The service from Hartford to New Haven is conceded by the resident of the district as splendid as the 19 trains day with running time of about an hour are provided.
 To get to Hartford the Westfield itney must be taken from Avon or the Winsted jitney. When these veh- icles are crowded, no stops are made at the intermediate points, so resi- dents informed the petitioners and therefore extra service was necessary

 Probably one Of the best games which has been played on the new basketball court was that between the PIainville Y. NJ. C.

It had been predicted because both teams are champion ship holders in their respective leagues, the Plainville team in the Pennington Valley league and the Manchester aggregation in the Con- neeticut Valley league, and those who witnessed it were cognizant of Ithef truth of the prediction.

MYSTERY OF FIRE
 WARDENIS SOLVED Berlin's Officer Is Frank EIQOnd,
 According to State Warden DEPUTIES NOT APPOINTED
More Street Light "Kicks" From D, East Berlin--An Set For Big Fancy Dress Ball--Fear Conlon Won't Show Up-Other Items

The Herald" conducted an inves- tigation today on Its own hook and learned that the fire warden for Ber- lin is Frank Emond. His telephone number is 696-4. So that matter is settled and the first selectman need lose no more sleep ovcc the matter.
 A representative of the Herald" inquired today of Town Clerk Arthur Woodruff if First Selectman Carter had yet communicated with the state fire warden. Mir. Woodruff replied that he had not and that the first selectman seemed to be in a quan- dary as to the address of the fire warden. .,
 State Fire Warden A. r. Hawes was reached in his office in the state capitol, Hartford, and he supplied the information desired. He stated that the fire warden for Berlin has not yet appointed deputies, to his knowledge and said he would com- municate with the latter regarding this matter.
 Residents of Berlin have wondered about the, identity of the warden for many weeks. AS has been said before, they have desired to burn rubbish and old leaves which has accumulated during the winter and 1t has been impossible for them to do 50 without securing a permit to build 8 fire. They did not know who the fire warden was and so could not go on with their spring work and still keep within the law.
 The first selectman was about to communicate with the state forester.
 More Street Light "Kicks"
 East Berlin residents are again finding fault with the street lights, according to a communication from that district today They have sev- eral reasons for objecting to the lighting system. One of them Is that the lights are too dim, on account of the fact that the candle power of the lamps is not great enough. They also state that the lights are too far apart and they registser "kick" AUouL lue SAblh6 uioAAAu6 oL LLo AS htS at midnight.
 An agitation is on foot to urge the lighting company to install more lights in the district. It is probable that they will also ask that the lights be left on all night.
 Ready For Dress Ball
 Preparations for rhe fancy dress ball of the Worthington Community Center association. which have been in the hands of several committees, are completed and everything points to one of the most successful affairs of this kind ever held by the Berlin organization. It was reported today that practically all the tickets have been disposed of and those attending are assured of comfort fin dancing. The committee in charge of tickets 5 this year made 1t a point to limit the number of tickets issued. None will be sold at the door.
 The decorations of Grange hall where the affair will be held, were planned by a committee from the junior organization. This commit tee Is composed of Walton Meagley Leon fIoniss and Garvey Molumphy and they have done good job. The hsll presents an attractive appear
