 George A. Case was elected to fill
 the vacancy on the board of library ] directors caused by the death of Harry A. Fisher at a meeting held in the town building last evening. Notice 1 of his selection was forwarded today by the secretary, Rev. R. H. Burton and he will be expected to begin ser vice on the committee at once.
 MT. Case was a member of the toard until the last election. The re- publican caucus nominated Ralph E. Morrill, for his place, although it was then believed that MT. Fishers term expired in October and he would not want to serve again because of busi- ness which kept him out of town a greater part of the time The new member has always shown a deep in- tcrest in the library and his selection as MT. Fishers successor will meet with general approval.
 Resolutions on the death of MT. Fisher were adopted as follows:
 ''The directors of the Plainville public library desire to express their deep regret at the sudden death of their colleague, Harry A. Fisher, and their warm appreciation of his ser vices in the interests of the library. A citizen both of pubic spirit and good literary judgment MT. Fisher, as chairman of the board and member of the book committee, gave many hours of labor not officially required of him, but generously allotted to the task in hand. Believing the public library to be one of the most valuable assets of our community we feel that MT. Fisher has rendered a large ser vice that should not and will not be forgotten.
 And it is voted that copy of these resolutions be sent to Mrs. Fisher with cur sympathy, that they be entered upon our minutes, and published in the columns of the New Britain Herald"
