and he will continue on the job un-
| til some other plan is evolved.
In an effort to get the voters to as
sumo some rCspOnsi bility as to VIVA,
arrangements they favored, the select
men called them together recently and
asked thin to register their choice.
Other than to instruct the Selectmen
to have the streets patrolied every
night they did nothing towards SOL
wing the problem.
The board decided tc give the first
chance to the local constables and
that all might have equal opportuni-
ties they asked them to submit figures
as to what compensation they would
ask for serving as policeman from 7
o'clock at night until 4 o'clock in the
morning, doing the janitor's work at
the town building in addition.
The officers did not appear to be
keen for the appointment, particular
ly because of the belief that too much
work would be saddled on them and
owing to the uncertainty of any per-
manence to the position. Although
they have had over a week in which
to make application, giving their bid
with the petition, the constables, with
the exception of Marine, have ignored
the opportunity given them Con-
eral days ago but he withdrew it
later.
The selectmen are now in a guam
Diary as to what procedure to follow
but they apparently intend to keep
Officer Marino at work for the pres
ent. He gave up his place in the fac
tory to go on patrol duty few weeks
ago and especially in view of the atti-
tude of the other constables the opin-
ion is held by the board that he
should not be removed while he per-
forms the duties in satisfactory fash
ion.
Two Drunlxs Fined
Timothy Connors and Frederick
Stack were each fined So and costs
this morning by Justice E. P. Prior
before whom they appeared to plead
to charges of intoXication. The men
were arrested yesterday afternoon by
Constable Downing who found them
staggering around the center.
The prisoners were of transient
type and their lack of funds caused
their removal to Jail to work out their
assessments.
Republicans Spent $685..
A republican victory in Plainville at
the recent election cost that party
$75.35, according to the expense re-
port filed with Town Clerk Usher by
N. Gilmore Clark, treasurer of the
town committee. The items of ex-
pense include $33 for auto hire, the
balance covering the cost of station
cry. cigars and other incidentals.
The state central committee con-
tributed SIS towards the campaign,
William J. Simpson, successful candi-
date for representative, giving $25.
Republican expenses this year were
light as the town committee figura-
lively sat and looked on during the
campaign, seemingly making no eff
fort to create enthusiasm for the party
or it's candidates.
