Family Spat Is
Cause of Arrest

Pete Fouconnier argued with his
wife Saturday and now he will
probably go to Jail.
Fouconnier was convicted on a
charge of manufacturing intoxicat-
ing liquors in violation of the Vol
stead act some time ago but the
court allowed him his freedom, pro
vided he go back to his home in
Orange county and cease his unlaw
full business. He promised he would
go but apparently forgot to carry
out the pact.
Saturday he engaged in an argu
ment with his wife, it is said, and
she promptly went to the police
asking that he be placed under ar.
rest.

BARS UP ON GARBAGE
 IN ADJOINING TOWN
Plainville Will Refuse to Allow Dumping in
 Future
ecial to the Eerald.)

Plainyille, Jan. 27 - Plainville is no longer to be dumping ground for the garbage from New Britain, ence between First Selectman John U Kimmel and Health Officer Dr. George F. Cook having resulted in the complete agreement of both off, cials to stop this practice as soon as present contracts run out. Several persons residing in Plainville have entered into contract with New Brit ain for the dumping of garbage on their lands, while others have taken the W, Ste matter and spread it for fertilizing purposes. Both practices must now be stopped, Dr. Cook said. and the authorities will not per init garbage from other towns to be even transported through Plainville.
 At present -lere are five places where garbage is ping piled in the open and left there: one on South Washington street, one on Redstone hill. one on Cook street, and two on Pennington avenue. The contracts for this disposal expire about March 1. and the town officials will not al- low them to be renewed. Permis- sion will not be gwen for the con- tinuance of this practice.
 Residents living near the several dumping grounds have made numer- ous complaints to the health officer regarding the offensive odor and general unsanitary conditions. Action in the past has been limited to warn- ing the contractors. but Dr. Cook said today he would mot fool around any longer" ny attempt to violate tho new edict will be met with prose- cution. he warned.
 Plainville has no means of dispos- ing of its own garbage and the off, cials are determined that the situa- tion shall not te made any worse by the dumping here of refuse from other places. The other towns sur rounding New Britain have already stopped that city from disposing of it's garbage within their limits, Plain vile being the last to do so and completing the ring of forbidden ter ritory about New Britain.

Hartford, Jan. 27-Representativ Claude w. Stevens of Berlin threw a legislative bombshell into the house of representatives today by intro ducing a bill which would require the owners of private motor ye- hicles to register with the tax col lector in their home town. The col lector would charge fee. and fur nish a receipt which the state de- partment of motor vehicles would require to be presented before reg istration would be issued.
 Under Stevens plan, motorcycles would be charged s2.5o and private motor vehicles up to 2.Oo0 pounds in weight s5 with a rising scale in di- rect proportion to the rise in weight.
 A bill was introduced by Repre- sentative Stevens to amend the char ter of the Berlin Savings bank since 1873, and which to date has had but one amendment. The amendments have to do with a change in the date of the annual meeting from July to October, the amount the bank is al- lowed to accept, conforming with a state banking law, and now at $1,- 900 year; and with the minimum number of incorporators.
 Senator Edward F. Hall of New Britain introduced bill which would increase the state police re- lief fund from ss,o00 to s10,oo0 a year.
 Senator Wheeler of the 25th dis trict brought in a resolution today to have a reduction made from the present per cent tax on wrestling bouts. He pointed out that wrestling is dying out in Connecticut because of the strict financial requirements now in effect G. Ava Ventres, New Britain wrestler and promoter, will be one of the witnesses at a hearing on this bill.
 Senator Hall has introduced a bill validating transfer of property from Edward and Elizabeth R. Raf- ferty to Margaret Rafferty. An error was made in the New Britain land records by which the name of Mary was inserted instead of Mar garet. Attorney Alfred Levitt is at- torney in the matter.
 Constable Frank Clynes of New Britain attended today's legislative session.
