Russell Case Goes Over.
 Important changes went into effect in the plant of the Tflmbull Electric
 MRnufa curing company today, an- ndHncement having been made of the
 resignation of George R. Hebden, mechanical superintendent for a num- ber: of years, and the selection of A. K. Sutherland as his successor. The l change created considerable talk around town this morning as it was not generally known that MT. Hebden contemplated severing his relations with the company.
 MT. Sutherland, the new head of the mechanical branch of the busi- ness, has had charge of the machine room for some time and his promo ton attests to the value placed on his services by officers of the com- pany. His place as foreman of the l machine room will be taken by c. A. Ahlstrom.
 Mr. Hebden will leave Plainvi1le about November 1 for East Pittsburgh 1 where he has accepted a responsible position with the Westinghouse Elec- tric company. He is to have charge of one of the departments in the plant. MT. Hebden has been an em- ploye of the Trumbull company for eleven years, taking place in the factory three years after the com l pany was organized and at a time when the plant was but a small wooden structure and the business was but in it's infancy. He has been an important cog in the wheels which revolved towards the success of the firm and he has served in positions of responsibility for 8 num- 1 Der of years.
 He proposes to move his family | to his new location next month. MT. Hebden has been identified with political and civic matters for a, num- Der of years. He has also been prom l inent in masonic activities and at the ] present time is serving as master of l Frederick lodge, A. F. and A. M. He l has been a progressive citizen and 1 Plainville will miss him, but will wish him unlimited success his new posi- | ton.
 Trial Put Over.
 According to States Attorney H. M Alcorn, the appeal of Thomas G. Russell from the decision of Justice A. H. Condell ordering him to pay S9 week towards the support of his wife, from whom he is estranged, will not be heard at the September term of the Superior court, now in session.
 MT. A1corn stated today that the case came in so late that he decided to put it over to the December term. There has been some talk of settlement of the disagreement over the order of the local justice and it is understood that efforts in this dir ection will be made before December. School Rooms Crowded. Crowded conditions, which have been found to exist in the various grades in the local schools, are causing the principal and members of the school board considerable worry. Principal Judd is finding it necessary to put more pupils In single room than one teacher ord1n- arily is expected to look after and all the available space is now in use
 Because of the large registration in the kindergarten it is necessary to have two sessions daily for the little children.
 The town is growing steadily and and 1t is apparent that during the year the enrolment will show an in crease making the problem even more difficult of solution.
 Members of the school board ad- init that there is little prospect Of getting a new building or an addition to one of the structures. now in use, this year but they believe that in 1917 the matter of school accommo dations will be a question which the voters will have to answer.
 The erection of a new building in the eastern section of the town is liable to be the solution although the usual opposition to such plan is ex- pected to develop. The town is grow ing towards the east and the need Of a school plant in the vicinity of East street is becoming more apparent daily,
