with a return game here in Wash
ington in 1896.
Richmond, like G.. W., is strug-
Cling upward in national tootoaA'
This past year, Richmond sur
prised the football world by Scor-
ing a victory over Cornell.
Make Great Team
Dave Miller, clever graduate
manager of Richmond, and Glen
Thistletwaite, clever head coach
of football at Richmond, make a
great team. Both are broad Wis
ioned and both readily admitted
when questioned that the pro-
posed G. Richmond relation
ship probably would prove of mu-
tual benefit to Richmond and to
G. w.
While he did not say so in so
many words, Dave Miller indicated
that Richmond might be intrigued
by the idea of playing Georgetown
in Richmond and G. w. in Wash
ington in the same year, with G.
w. in Richmond and Georgetown
in Washington the following year.
This arrangement would material,
ly aid the Golfers Of Richmond,
which has come to be a much
Sought-after grid outfit.
It is possible that G. w. will try
to make room for Richmond on a
later date than September %,
since Georgetown this coming
year is booked to play Richmond
in Richmond. If and when G. w.
makes the arrangement, Rich
mond will come here in 1885 with
the G.. w. Richmond tilt listed for
Richmond in 1886.
Big Leaguers
Miller and Thistletwaite both
are big leaguers in every sense of
the word. They favor a live and
let live policy for the game OF
football. They know what it is
for a school like Richmond to try
to crack into the so-called "big
time" of the collegiate game.
They have bond in common
with Jim Pixlee and Len Walsh
and G. w., that bond being the de-
sire to move ahead rather than to
slip backward.
Richmond should prove a fine
drawing card in WASHINGTON q.
w. should prove quite an attrac-
ton in Richmond. 1t is this ob-
servers opinion that if G. w.
plays Richmond in the Virginia
capital city next fall crowd OF
close to 5000 will journey from
this city to Richmond to witness
the game. This observation lends
the color of truth to the assertion
made by a Richmond alumnus in
Richmond last Saturday to the ef-
feet that the proposed G.. W.-Rich-
mond game would draw 10000 peo-
pie if played in Richmond in 1885.

The Greenbrier Military School

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-08-18

Elimination of paving assess ments in Hartford, a system which was done away with in Waterbury during the administration of eX- Mayor William H. Sandland, is now being proposed. The ordinance committee of the Hartford com mon council now has the proposed measure doing away with the paw ing assessments before it and is expected to make a report on Mon day.
 At the present time the city pays 75 per cent of the cost of paving and levies the remaining 25 per cent of the cost on the owners of abutting property, 12 1-2 per cent on either side of the street paved.
 When the pacing assessment sys- tenn was in force in Waterbury, the city paid two-thirds of the ex- pense and levied the remaining one-third of the cost on the abut- ting pieces of property. North Elm street, from East Main to Water streets was one of the first stretches to be paved after the assessment system was done away with here. At the time Mayor Sandland and other officials took the stand that the paving of the highways was I'for the benefit of traffic in general and not for the convenience espe- cially of the property owner. At the present time most communities in the state do not charge paving assessments so this means that Hartford is late in following the plan of eliminating the system. When the state highway depart ment paves a highway no assess ments are charged against the

HUSBAND SUED BY
 WIFE FOR $5,OOO
Also Asks One Half Inter- est in Property Mate
 Threatened to Sell

The scene in the domestic diff ficulties of Filomena and Harry Christolini is changed from the city court to the common pleas court with the institution today of a s5,000 civil action in the latter court by Mrs Christolini against her husband. She asks, in addition, one-half interest in property To- cated at 16 Martin street on the grounds that her husband has threatened to sell the estate.
 Mrs Christolini had her husband in city court on non-support charges some time ago. The de- fendant was quite voluble the pre- sentation of his side of the case.
 Mrs Christolini says in her com plaint that she was married to the defendant on November 5, 1905, in Italy. They came to Waterbury in 1912. She operated boarding house while her husband worked as a laborer. They agreed to work as partners, pooling their earnings, which were deposited in local bank in the husbands name.
 After the accumulation of sev- eral thousand dollars. the complaint says, property at 16 Martin street was purchased. The defendant is alleged to have agreed to give one- half interest in the property to his wife. That was never brought about, she complains, and points out that on numerous occasions her husband has threatened to sell the property. The case is returnable to court the first Tuesday of Oc- tober, according to the complaint prepared by Attorney V. Blansfield

TAVERN KEEPERS
 TO MEET TUESDAY
Proposed Changes e $ in State Liquor Laws to
 Be Discussed

Tavern owners of the city will meet Tuesday night at Moose hall, when it is expected that further action will be taken on the possi- bility of a change in the state liquor laws. A strong movement among the associations in most of the larger cities of the state will probably include the local organiza- ton, a member of the state group before the next session of legisla- ture a petition for the elimination of objectionable features of the liquor law.
 Such petitions are now being circulated in other cities. Officers of the local branch said today that no attempt has been made to in- clude Waterbury in the movement, but that the proposal might be brought up at the meeting. An un- authorized group of men who claimed to represent state or na- tional association of tavern owners collected money from several pro- prietors of traverns here a short time ago before officers of the as- sociation issued warning to the members.
 The men claimed that the money would be used to fight the case of the tavern-keepers at the next session of legislature. Resentment over what they believe to be pro- visions of the law will influence the members of the association in their choice of candidates whom they will support in the coming elections, an official said to day. No candidate who favors the pres ent law will be indorsed by the tavern owners, he said.

C. O.P. TICKETS TO
 BE SET UP SOON
Reorganization Group to Fire Shots Monday at
 Garden Hall

Tickets of delegates to the local g. O. D. city, town, county, congress sional, senatorial and probate con- ventions will be set up Monday night at a mass meeting in Gar den hall sponsored by the repub- lican reorganization committee of which Adam Callan is chairman. Garden hall is expected to be fill- ed to capacity as the reorganiza- ton group fires the first shot in the fight for control of the local party conventions and the town committee.
 The unseating of Republican Town Chairman T. F. Conway and many of the members of the town committee, the naming of new members to the republican state central committee and the nomina-
 ton of candidates for office who
 have a strong chance of winning
 are among the aims of the reor- ganiZationists.
 Monday nights meeting is being held as a protest against the closed caucuses which will be conducted by the regular g. o. D. organiza- tion in making up the slates of delegates to the various conVen- tions. The town committee turned down the demand of the reorgan- ization group for open caucuses two weeks ago.
 Therefore, at Monday evenings session in Garden hall every regis tered republican will be permitted to take part in the make up of the various tickets of delegates. These tickets will be filed with the town on the 26th. The organ ization group will have a ticket ir every ward in opposition to the tickets set up at the closed eau cuses by the regular organization. This means that on the 26th there will be a city-wide fight for con- trol of the local republican party and, according to advance reports. the battle will be a hot one.
