Waterbury Produce Market
Furnished by Connecticut Department of Agriculture, E. P. StOrrs, local agent)

Newlaid grade egg prices were advanced one cent per dozen. at the opening of the week by producers agents who sell the bulk of Con- necticut eggs qualifying for this grade. The new price schedule calls for the large size fancy grade sell in to retailers for 40 cents per dozen and the medium size for 37 cetns.
 The egg market generally dcvel- oped increased strength the later part of last week following reports from larger markets that receipts | of western egs had fallen off com pared with the previous week. The l first four days of last week receipts of eggs at New York were 5000 cases less than the previous week on same days. Compared with the same four days of last year re- ceipts of eggs at the four largest markets (New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and BostonS were ago. These sharp reductions in re- cefpts, together with the fact that storage holdings Of eggs are prac- tically sold out. caused radical price advances. New York reports quoted some grades four cents dozen higher last Friday than at the opening of last week.
 The price spread between large high grade and the small or under grades has become unusually mar row recently. Market supplies Of the cheaper eggs have become rel atively lighter than of the large sizes of best quality.

REPORT SAYS
BUILDING Is
STILLUNSAFE
Washington School Can Be
Patched Up, According to
Official Report; HIS. Needs
Fixing, Too

The official report on the school
buildings, recently requested by the
Kiwanis club has been received and
placed on file. Mr.. Bringham's Of
fetal report follows:
Kennewick High School
There is a dangerous hanging
balcony in the gym. The plaster is
broken and lavatories are nnsani-
tary. A metal covering is needed on
ceiling over the furnace and there
is a dangerous storage space under
the stairway.
Kennewick Grade School
This building is of very poor con-
struction, being built of soft brick
and lacks the proper amount of
mortar. The window frames and
sash are loose throughout the build
ing. Also there is considerable set
Ting in the second grade room. The
Railways are dark and gloomy,
which are dangerous in case of
fire. The plastering is dangerous
in the first grade room and on the
ceiling of the fourth grade room.
The lavatories on the second floor
are unsanitary. There is also ex-
treme settling on the floor in the
fourth grade room at both ends and
sides.
The west walls and footings have
settled, intermediate footings are
lacking and outside footings are in
adequate. New floors are needed
throughout. The roof needs patch
ing and construction strengthened.
A metal ceiling is needed over the
furnace. The outside of the build
ing should be pointed up and wat
erproofed, also repair the fire es-
cape. With care, this building can
be used another year. In the case
of high winds this building should
have considerable repair work done
to Withstand the extreme weather
conditions in order to be perfectly
safe.

cleS Here

Lee M. Lampson died this eve
ming about $3.50.
The news came as a distinct shock
to the friends and acquaintance
who heard it. Although it was
known that he was in very poor
health recently, none realized how
serious his condition was. Within
the past fortnight it was learned
that his physician had ordered a
complete rest in a sanitorium, but 1t
had been supposed that by follow
ing orders he would regain his
health.
Mr.. Lampson was manager Of
the Washington Early Crops, a To-
cal marketing organization, which
position he had held ever since the
company'S organization. He was al
SO chairman Of the school board, in
both of which he had been active.
In addition to his other duties he
managed his farm south Of town.
He had always taken an active
part in all civic affairs and had a
wide acquaintance throughout the
district, as well as in state and ma
tional cooperative circles, in which
he was one Of the early pioneers,
In addition to his widow, he is
survived by two sons, Byron and
Neil, and a daughter, Theo. His
aged mother, Mrs. F. II. Lampson, a
brother, Bruce, and sister, Mrs.
Ludwig, also survive. Arrangements
for the funeral have not been made

LOCAL SCOUTS
HAVING A BIG
TIME ON TRIP
Plenty to Do i'm Spite of the
Closing of Ten City Plans
at Washington; Paralysis
Scare Dying Down in East

Judging from the hurried scrawl
Of the post cards and letters have
received from Lowell, the two kids
must be too excited to write de-
cent letter." was the comment OF
Floyd Higley, when asked about the
Boy Scouts and their trip to TIE
East coast.
Although the Boy Scout jam
boree in Washington, ID. @. was can
celled by President Roosevelt on the
eve of departure of the Blue Noun
tain group, the Council, after hur-
ried negotiations with the railroads
and the National Scout Headquart-
ers in New York City, decided to 60
ahead with the trip even tho the
Jamboree was omitted. Using the
organization for the. trip exactly as
organized, the boys left Pasco, where
they Joined the walla walla group,
for Seattle.
According to letters from the two
boys, Lowell Higley and Wayne
Smalley, from Seattle they were
taken by boat to Victoria, 3. g. At
this stop they were met by Scotch
Highlanders in the persons Of some
very beautiful young ladies as a
welcoming committee and were en-
tertained by them during the noon
hour stopover. From there they
went to Vancouver, B. @. where the
Vancouver Scouters had a big car
avian Of automobiles ready to do
the entire city from arrival until
they departed a nine o'clock on the
Canadian Pacific. A brief pause
was made at Banff, where the boys
were given a free swim in the
elaborate pool of one Of the larger
hotels. Today Thursday they are
in Detroit and will visit Niagara
Falls Friday morning, arriving at
New York City Friday evening.
The remainder of the trip is not
definite, but according to Scout Of
ficials the boys will be taken to
Philadelphia and in small groups
only, to Washington for not more
Than one day. AS a substitute for the
time they were to be in the capital
city the boys viii be taken to a
huge Scout camp about 80 miles
out of New York, after spending
four days in the city itself.
As guarantee against difficult
ties, the train has a "Homesickness

,ording to reports, his duties have

SEVENTH GRADE AT
LUTHERAN CHURCH
Two Glasses of Overflow to Be
Housed Away From School
Building

School will open a week from
Monday. Teachers have all been
lined up and supplies and equip
ment are being prepared for the
opening day. Owing to the crowded
condition, two extra rooms have
been secured to house the increase
in enrolment this year.
The basement of the English Lu-
theran church has been leased and
the two rooms of the seventh grade
will attend there this year. The
basement Of the Congregational
church had been arranged for, but
the Lutheran church has purchased
that building and will use it as a
church edifice shortly. Negotiations
were undertaken for the basement
of the Christian church, but these
fell thru, so the school overflow
will be housed in the Lutheran
church building.

nous size and in great numbers. If
all the rabbits in this vicinity were
placed end to end we would have
string of rabbits that would reach
from here until States Day.
"Our rabbits can run so fast that
they can take the Columbia river
in one jump. The little ones make
it in two, but are all able to get
across without even bothering to
use the bridge whenever we have a
drive, so that if the Horse Heaven
and Rattlesnake residents think
their rabbits can run we will be glad
to put up one of the small ones SO
that they can have some COMPETE
ton. We won't want them to think
that there are no rabbits in any
other part of the country that can
run and therefore we would like to
have an invitation to join the Rab-
bit Derby and race Blue Streak, the
peoples choice" u.

UNCERTAIN

CITY TO ASK
FEDERAL COIN
FOR BUILDING
New Jail, Fire Station, Water
Works System Contemplate
ed; Tennis Cours and Golf
Course Requested

The city is making an attempt TO
take advantage Of the federal offer
Of as percent grant on public
works projects. It has made appl-
cation for grant for the enlarge
ment Of the fire station, and is now
working on an application for a
sufficient amount to install or buy
the water system.
The city has funds for its share
Of the fire station building from
the bonds recently authorized, and
with a grant from the government
the amount VIII be sufficient, It Is
thought, to rebuild the Jail and
erect the necessary buildings in case
the city acquires the water system.
Application has been made for
a price on the present water sys-
tenn from the Pacific Power g. Light
company. In case the price seems
too high the city will then consid-
er the installation of its own plant.
Unofficial discussion indicates that
the individual councilmen strongly
favor boring well somewhere
near the center Of the business dis
trict and installing a new distri-
button system.
City officials feel that the offer OF
federal aid is too liberal TO be pass
ed lightly, and every effort will be
made to have the local projects ap-
proved. In addition to the building
the city has also endorsed
the building. with federal relief
funds, Of tennis courts and q golf
course.
Mayor Anon announced the ap-
pointment Of twelve local men TO
act as a city planning council. This
group Is to investigate the possible
ties for civic improvement, report
on their feasibility and endeavor to
have the most desirable adopted as
federal aid Jobs. Membership OF the
council consists OF Councilman

The time has come, the council
men find, to again begin the annual
battle to make the budget come
somewhere near balancing the esti-
mated incomes. II councilmen ever
get gray hair, they agree, it is caus-
ed by the annual struggle Of trying
70 make a dollar do the work OF
ten and make showing that the
voters can see with the naked eve.
