 "Can Down. for Paving Men.
 First Selectman W. J. Johnson and men in charge of the paving of East Main street and Central Square had lively tilt this morning over the lack of progress made by the con- tractors and their attempts to tear up the south side of the highway be- fore opening up the north side to traffic.
 With the exception of a short stretch in front of Gleason's lunch room, tho north side was finished a few days ago but for some reason, unknown to the town authorities, the contractors left this spot uncovered, thereby blocking a good part of the highway and impeding vehicular traffic.
 Selectman Johnson stopped them from tearing up the south side of the street this morning and as they were unable to get enough amiesite to keep all hands at work, the contractors today laid off a portion of the help. They agreed, however, to finish up one side of the street and open it to the public as soon as possible.
 While the contract calls for the completion of the entire job within twenty-five working days after May 25, the date on which start was made, it would not be surprising if another month is required to finish the task.
 To Have Lawn Festival.
 The Mems Parish club of the Church of Our Saviour will give a lawn festival tomorrow evening on the grounds at Maplehurst on West Main street. The lawn will be at tractively decorated and number of young ladies have been engaged to serve refreshments.
 The committee has arranged to have ice cream delivered to homes from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until nine at night. As there has been a big demand for tickets it is expected the festival will be well patronized.
