NAMES 0F STREETS
 AND THEIR ORIGIN
Presidents and Trees Evidently
 Preferred in This City

The names or several focal streets have curious origins 10 account Tor their strange titles. Aside rom -hn proverbial Main street and Gold Silver summer and Winter streets $. there are t few which orflr uaI- fling problem to ono who is seskiug the origin Of the name.
 For instance. how many New Brit ainit"s know where Black Rock av- enuc got it's nume? To the oIer portion of the population. perhaps this question is easy but thor" arc many who have never considered the naming of this street. Black Rock avenue, or Black Rock road as lt was known until relatively re- c"n'ly. had. at the intersection Of the street and West Main street. d hugo rock Of somo fliUty substance which was noted both for ils color and its hardness. This rock WAS some four feet above the ground level and was brilliant black. being of stone not commonly seeu. T. was later buried in the construction of the bridge over the railroad tracks at that spot and TOW rests some six feet below the surface,
 Mill street received its name from, as might easily be guessed, the loca- ton Of an oli mill situated on the stream which now feeds the swim ming pool at Willow Brook Park. Remnants of the old dam may still b. soen in the hollow above the pool
 Corbin avenue, named att,r n. Corhin family. was formerly called Southington turnpike, a fact which is strange because Of is indircc. connection with any road l.alins 10 Southington.
 Toli Gate on Jerome Street
 A curious fact concerning the road which leads off from Corhin avenue. over the hill near the Chil- dron's home and down into the main pike at Earnesdalo is brought to light when records show that q toll gate was established at what is now Jerome street where transient tiaf- fic was taxed for passage on the main pike. Tho thrifty Now Britain ite did not relish the taxation and a cart path Was cut through around the spot and leading back into the main road beyond the toll gate.
 High street. lying comparatively low considering other streets sur rounding it. received is name when New Britain was very young and very small. High street was on the outskirts Of the town and as most of th" population grouped itsci' near the center or along the cas- 'rn boundaries of tle town, High street was considered far afieli from thn activities Of the town, and being slightly higher than the Piper Brook colony. received it's namc.
 I.akN street was named before Lock shop Fonl received tho waste deposits of the factories it does now and was q pretty little pond m the midst of 'ho city.
 Camp street received its title from Deacon David x. Camp who con- 1ucted seminary in the building now standing at corner ot School

Big Parade" Among those who tried their luck in this vicinity were Bill and Phil Pagan who returned after couple or hours on the brook with lo nice fish. phil claim 1 cd the honors with six while Bill was content to bring out four. We heard of several others who made pi!srlmases 70 the streams ! yesterday. but official reports re- gardins tho size of the trout taken out are noticeable through their ab- sonce, thus tending to point towards catches Of the regular carly season youngsters. Concerning these little fellows that must be stretched out 10 make the required length and sometimes , the stretching out Of the fisherman's imagination, the New Britain Fish and Game Association has pledged itself 10 release all trout under seven inches instead of sticking 10 he six inch regulation. It sounds like q mighty good idea 10 us and We don't think the day is far off when the state law will require seven inches from mouth 70 tail before 'he trout can be laid away with attend ing ceremonies.
 Brooks are reported as not heinz as high this year as previous sea sons have found .hcm. Of course the spring freshets have raised the water to a point above its regular levcl but no floods which made fishing impossible have been mcn- toned in inc stories of the first day.
 Worms supplied the majority Of the bait used on the brooks ycstcr- day. The barnyard hacllla has been the popular lure with New Britain fishermen since Piper Brook har- ! bored its old timers. We heard of ! one fellow who uses masgots and | gets his share Of the trout. Ivi- ! dcntly the fish are not as finickv ' about taking the bal. as we would l be about handling them.
 By the way. this column will be ! l"r" every Saturday during the 1 s"ason and we hope to hear from 1 you boys as to how you come ont | on your trips about the state. We ! promise We won't give away thc To- l cation Of your favorite brook and l, we will helicvo all the stories about | the big one that wound the leader | around the root of the old pine tree | and broke loose.

Greer Talks on School Levy

paid this year by a taxpayer owning
100000 worth of taxable property
in the District, and / know that there
is not a taxpayer within the District
who would wilfully, or Intentionally
cripple our schools in order to save
himself an insignificant sum like this,
for if anyone who owns property in
the District must realize that that
property is made immensely more
valuable by the fact that we have an
efficient, recognized, first class High
School, and that the surest way to
d~epreciate the value of his property
is to cripple the schools. If we main
tain u schools on their present high
standard, and maintain our other cul-
tural organizations, and increase the
efficiency of all of them, we will soon
have the increase in population, and
enough new taxable property brought
into the District in order that its
owners may enjoy the benefits afford
cd by this community, so that in
stead of increasing the levy, we may
hope for a reduction, and still main
tain our efficiency.
Not a Crouch
"No man can accuse me of favor
ing public extravaganza, or advocat-
ing excessive taxation. l. have been
called a crouch, and a 'tightwad' re-
peatedly on this subject. But, at the
same time, as q property owner, /
feel that for every penny which we
save at the expense of our school eff

ton of our property, the depreciation
of our holdings, and the respect of
our fellowmen for our community,
md | earnestly urge you to give this
question the most careful c~onsidera-
ton, and if you are a freeholder,
7ote for the additional levy, knowing
that it is necessary to the mainten-
ance of your school. If you are not
a freeholder, make up your mind that

Poultry Notes

Sunlight Is a better egg producer
than red pepper.
A pullet, properly handled and fed,
should gain In weight sven though
laying regularly.
II you have neglected to get a new
cockerel, then order a setting or two
Of high grade eggs now, and raise
your own cockerels for new blood next
year.
A cheap treatment for mites, and
a fairly good one, is to paint the hen
house inside, walls, roosts and all, with
n mixture Of old ~crank-case OIL and
kerosene.
The market seems to be wanting
bigger broilcrs latefy-birds weighing
between two and three pounds. Evil
IDENTIFY, city folks are demanding meat
Ter bones to pick.
Keep plenty of green feed for the
pullets 1t is essential for both health
and egg production.
A broody hen, If taken the first day
she Is broody, will come back to pro
duction In three days If she is put In
a cool, Slated coop and fed literally
with mash and milk.
Outbreaks Of coccidiosis (bloodv
diarrhea) which is fatal to 4 great
many chickens every spring, may be
largely eliminated by blowing up the
ground In the chick yard.
Pualets lay best when confined to
the poultry house during the winter
months and fed a laying mash.
In feeding poultry the heavy grain
feed should come at the evening meal
The birds should have all the grain
they will clean up at this time.
Duck eggs hatch in twenty-eighi
days. When the Matching is done by
hens It is well to keep the hen covered
until she may be introduced to her
children. otherwise she may peck
them to death.
