this time but there is talk of bring ing action to recover for it.
 Actor Strung Home. William V Strung, the local actor, has returned to Plainville, probably for the summer and is staying at the home of his brother on Forest vile avenue.
 Theatrical business has been un- usually quiet this year and people who make their living behind the footlights have had a hard time get ting engagements. MT. Strung opened the season with a musical comedy which a short time after it's premier, went to the wall. Of late he has been in vaudeville with a quartet.
 Want Curbing Laid. Selectman Johnson is making an earnest attempt to have East Main street property owners place curbing in front of their places before the work of laying permanent pavement is started. He has interviewed sev- eral of them on the matter but thus far has not received a great deal of encouragem
 The contractors have agreed to start the work not later than May 25 and they have but twenty-five working days in which to complete it, it is apparent that the property own CTS will have to hustle if they are to get the curbing in position before the pavement is laid.
 The contract awarded by the high way commissioner compels the filing of bond of $3,3OO by the Connecti- cut and Rhode Island company, which is to do the work The contractors will have to guarantee the pavement for at least five years.
 Bristol Cannot Vote. According to an opinion of Corpora tion Counsel w. J. Malone, accepted by the city council of Bristol last eve ming, the license people will have to wait until the two years expires be- fore they can have another vote talk en on the liquor question.
 At the election last October Bristol went dry for two years. The saloon keepers recently asked to have the question voted on again this year and they argued that the crty charter gave permission for such action. Tn Judge Malone's opinion the town will have to stay in the dry column for the full two year period unless the legislature agrees to change the charter. Even then it would be doubtful if any amendment would be- come effective before the next elec- ton.
 Turn Truck Over to Town. Mason and Dow, who have the con- ly purchased by the firemen, into g. fire truck, have advised Chief M. A. Norton that the machine will be ready l for service by the end of the week. The hose company plans to turn the apparatus over to the town. In the company are several mem- bers having auto operators licenses ! and it is not likely that any regular driver will be appointed to run the | truck. May Make Some Changes. That there is a possibility of some changes being made in the personnel of the teaching force at the local l schools was admitted today by Chair man Pearl w. Smith. The teachers committee is now looking into the l matter and will present a report at the 1 next meeting of the board, which will l probably be held som etime next week.
 
 tc teachers, who will be invited to remain here, before the end of the month in order that they may have either their acceptance or declination l before school closes.
 Members of the board are apparent l ly satisfied with Principal o. L. Judd, who some of them declare is easily the l best man they could get for the place, l and indications are that he will be reelected. The opposition to him ap- parently has but little strength. l Glass Elects Officers. | Members of the class which is to be, graduated from the Grammar school in June have elected the following officers:
