 The part America as neutral will play in the final settlement of the war will be important" said John Hays Hammond, chairman. If the United States, as the mutual friend of the warning nations, is able to point the way to an effective international court of justice, there is every reason to believe the belligerents will be willing to accept it.
 The object of this congress is, first to arouse the American public to a consciousness of the possibilities in such a tribunal and, second, to de- velop an insistent demand for it. The time is ripe"
 If preliminary plans are carried out the congress will take no steps that would gain for it the name of Peace Congress" The Lusitariia incident will be ignored, and means for end- ing the war will not be discussed. Plans for the development of an in- ternational court will receive the sole attention of the speakers, who include former President Taft, Judge Alton B. Parker, John Mitchell and

 A large amount of new building is going on in Bridgeport at the present

 owned by the same parties who own the Union Metallic cartridge company, but is a separate and independent cor poration and will employ 5000 to 1 5000 men. Berlin is also very much 1 interested in this industry from the fact that they are moving large quan- titles of Berlin brick to use in the con- i struction of the buildings. A local hrlck concern has shipped over a million brick for this work last I'll onth.

 Will Be Expensive.
 Repairs to the town building now in progress will prove expensive, ac- cording to the plans that have been made by the selectmen and the Town hall account this year will loom up large in the annual reports. For years but little was done to keep the building in shape and the property had been allowed to depreciate great ly.
 The structure was getting so bad that something had to be done to keep it standing and for several days, plum bers, masons and carpenters have been repairing it. The progress made on the exterior haslnot been sufficient to enable the painters to start their part of the improvement. John 2. Larson has the contract for the work, Henry O'Hara is looking after the masonry and the Plainville Hardware company has charge of the plumbing changes. .4
 After work on the exterior is fin ished it is planned to make some inn provements inside. The rooms on both floors are badly in need of re- pairing and painting and the select men expect to lay out considerable money on the changes.
 Send Out Contracts Soon.
 The school board is making prep arations to send out contracts to mem bers of the teaching staff in the local schools who will be invited to re- turn here next year. The teachers have until the June meeting of the board to decide whether they will ac- cept reelection.
 By making and living up to con tracts with teachers, the board dur ing the past few years has had but little trouble in keeping the staff in- tact and but few vacancies had to be filled. The efficiency of the force, consequently has been materially i'm proved. Principal Orrin l..
