New Britain herald., 1914-08-12

at the office of the secretary of state regarding the suspension of his auto license, which was temporarily taken from him as a result of an accident in New Britain on May 26th for which he was fined $150 by the court of the Hardware city. MT. Missett has ap- pealed from the decision of the lower court and Secretary Phillips deputy, who presided at the hearing yesterday, announced that he would make known his finding concerning the license after the case has been settled.
 MT. Missett declared that the skid ding of his machine caused it to col iide with a hydrant and other ob- stacles and that despite the action of the lower court ill punishing him for reckless driving, the affair was purely an accident for which he should not be held responsible.
 Will Start Up Monday.
 The local plant of the Bristol Man ufacturing company will resume oper- ations next Monday after being closed for a month, the longest shutdown in the recent history of local con- cerns. Not a single department has been in operation during the month and over 200 hands employed by the concern have been out of work dur ing that period. It is understood that the mill will be operated on full time beginning next week.
 While factories in Plainville may be affected to some extent by the war in Europe should it last many months, it is not thought that man. ufacturing business here will be hurt as much as in many other places. The Trumbull Electric company, which has the largest export trade of any of the local factories, deals with South American countries mostly and will probably be able to continue shipping its products without any se- rious interruption.
