 At Adventists' Grounds. Dunham's grove on the Southing-
 ton road, which serves as a meeting
 place every summer for the Adven-
 lists of the state, is already we'll pop
 ulated, although the annual camp
 meetings are not to be held before
 the latter part of August.
 Several Adventists from different
 parts of the state have cottages at the grove and they make the grounds
 their summer homes Many of them
 have already moved in and several
 new arrivals are expected next week. Southington Starts on Sewer. There is considerable local interest
 in the building of a sanitary sewer in Southington, work on which was
 started yesterday, as it is believed
 that the success of the neighboring borough in financing the proposition will have a decided effect on future activities relative to sewer plans in Plainville.
 When the sewer committees rec omm endations were rejected by the voters a few months ago one of the strongest arguments used by the op- position was that the estimated cost was unreasonably high. The fact that Southington proposed to build a much larger sewer than Plainville at an
 expense not much in excess of that which this town would incur was used against the local committee, members of which explained at the time that the estimate of the engineer in the borough was entirely too low. Their contention has since been up- held and experts who have looked over the layout in Southington predict that it will cost nearly twice as much as had been originally estimated. 1 This makes it apparent that the local committees figures were secured after a thorough investigation and l were probably close to correct. Paving Was Unsatisfactory. First Selectman Johnson, who is personally supervising the work of l making highway improvements on 1 East Main street and at the center, l was not satisfied with the manner in l which bricks were laid at the curve 1 in the trolley rails and yesterday he ] ordered the pavement taken up from | a small area and relaid to correspond with his wishes,
 Although the improvements are to 1 be paid for by the state and trolley l company, and while in reality the 1 town has no connection with the work, | the selectman is paying close atten- tion to it. Tn all cases the contractors have respected his wishes and it Is not likely that there will be any con-
 fict regarding authority.
