Not dissenting voice is heard
against the campaign for better service
except from those who are employed BY
the street car company. All are con-
vinced that Hammond deserves better
service and are glad that the Manufac-
turers' association has taken the initia-

1t is expected that the campaign will
arouse more interest than any other
that has been inaugurated in recent

are united in the effort to get some
concessions from the company.

WINDSOR LOCKS PASTOR
 SCORES BANK OFFICERS. Father PIunkett will Sail For Europe on Three Months Leave of Absence.

Windsor Locks, April 17.-Rev. An drew Plunkett, pastor of St. Mary's church, announced to his congrega- ton that he had been granted a three months vacation by Bishop John J. Milan and that he contemplates trip to Europe.
 Father Plunkett said that his health had been impaired som ewhat from his arduous duties, not only with the church but also with the deposi- tors committee of the Windsor Locks Savings bank. He said he did not be- .lieve that he could leave before May 1, as he wished to see some definite settlement made. He said the direc- tors had been unfair in the proposal to scale the loss 26 per cent, which the bank commissioners agreed to.
 He intimated that the directors who were depositors would lose nothing and also that they had obtained mon- ey from investments of the bank g funds to which they were not entitled. He further expressed the opinion that the directors were liable for the full amount and he scored the Business Mems Association for 'bufting in" in the effort to raise $25,000 to be given to the bank.
