friends In honor of her birthday, Sat
urday evening. The evening was spent
in music and dancing and a fine bup
per was served.
Director Foley of the public works
department has decided to harden
Quinnipiac avenue, both north and
south of Graad avenue. This Inform
ation will be learned with much ap
proval by the people of Fair Haven and
especially by the residents .on that
thoroughfare. Director Foley, In
company with Burgess Harry Leigh,
made an Inspection of the avenue and
determined that it was in need of re
pairs. The surface is in pretty vbad
shape in places and needs a dressing
of broken stone. Director Foley says
lie will have a gang of men begin work
on the avenue as soon as he can pro
cure the stone. Of late years, the
traffic on the avenue has increased
greatly, especially the speeding of au
tomobiles and it is said that the fast
rate at which these machines have
been run, is responsible for some of
the damage to the roadway. It has
become a favorite route for autoists
and no one would object to. this, if
the rate of speed could be better reg
ulated. As it is the policy of the city
to keep its telford pavements sprinkled
It Is expected that the borough will
not have to sprinkle Quinnipiac avenue
the coming summer. This will reduce
the amount of sprinkling that the bor
ough authorities will have control of,
to a considerable extent. In the mat
ter of street sprinkling, it was stated
some, time ago in this paper, that the
borough contemplated buying a
sprinkler. Last year the carts were
hired. It is now stated however, that
the present board of warden and bur
gesses will not buy any more prop
erty for the borough. The members
feel that it is so near for them to go
out of office that it would be the bet
ter courtesy to allow the board which
Is to be elected In May to attend to
this matter. So, In consequence of this
decision, It is not expected that street
sprinkling will begin in the borough
for some time.
Right here, in the matter of public
improvements, the people of Fair Ha
ven will be glad to learn that the lamp
department of the city is to erect street
signs in many localities which are now
unmarked. While this Is to be a gen
eral policy all over the city, people
over here will be glad to know .that
. their part of the municipality is to re
ceive its proper attention. Many lo
cal streets are unmarked and this la
especially true in the outskirts. It Is
the general opinion that every street
corner, should ,be properly Indicated,
so that a stranger can tell Just where
he Is at. Many are of the opinion that
there are few Improvements of equal
Importance as the marking of the
names of the streets. It Is understood
that the committee has ahout Jl.WO
"' available' for these new signs and Fair
. Haven ought to receive ts due proportion.
It was stated last evening that there
is another candidate in the field for
the position of collector of the borough
taxes. The new candidate is J. ' O.
Clogston, the east side box manufact
urer. This makes four candidates In
addition to tne present collector, who
has held the position many years, L. A.
T. Blake. The election occurs in May.
The many friends in Fair Haven of
Rev. Thomas Shanley, pastor of the
Catholic church in Southport, were

curred on Sunday. From 1888 to

Southington, March 30. The town Is
being asked to make payment in a
case which Is a very singular one. Last
Thursday Dwight Clark was traveling
east of Pratt's Corners when an auto
came along and ran into him. His
wagon was smashed but he himself
was left uninjured. However, the auto
party did not stop to ascertain the re
sult of the accident. Mr. Clark has
made demand on Selectman Levi New
ell that the town pay the damages. He
holds that the road at this point is not
sufficiently wide to permit an automo
bile and team to pass. As a matter of
fact the road is very narrow at this
point, but would allow passage if any
precaution were taken. Mr. Newell
consulted Town Counsel Brown In re
gard to the matter and was edvised
that there is no strength to the claim
of Mr. Clark. It is understood that Mr.
Clark intends to bring suit, but wheth
er it is against the town or the owner
of the auto is not known. The number
