 ans Grateful-Other Items. Providing the postal regulations permit of the transfer of city carrier to the rural free delivery service, Will liam Cassidy will probably be named to succeed Rupert S. Mercy in de- livering the mails to the outlying dis tricts Postmaster P. J. Prior has written to Washington for informa- tion on this point and if the appoint ment does not conflict with the rules, MT. Cassidy will begin his duties about June TO-
 At the present time MT. Cassidy is substitute city carrier. He is will ing to accept the position that is soon to be vacated by MT. Mercy and in stead of holding an examination for list of eligibles for the rural car rier service, the postmaster is anxious to name him.
 MT. Morey's resignation will be- come effective on June 10. He is un- willing to continue longer on the job because of the high price of gasoline, which he believes makes the expense of running an auto too high consider ing the compensation paid by the gov ernment. The carrier now receives $1,152 year and if the proposed N h a n 1Cn in, nn off fixro the mileage he will have to cover daily will be increased to twenty seven miles and the salary will be made $1,252.
 The position of substitute rural car rier is now vacant, Frank Radcliff having resigned some time ago, and unless the department at Washington permits of MT. Cassidy's appointment, examination for list of eligibles will have to be called for. In all prob ability this could not be arranged be- fore June 10 and temporary selec- tion would probably have to be made.
 Name Committees Later.
 Owing to the absence from town of John H. Trumbul1, the new presi- dent of the Business and Improve ment ssociation, it is probable that appointments to the various commit tees of the organization will not be 1 made at the June meeting of the board l Of directors scheduled for tomorrow l night.
 Mr. Trumbull returned a few days 1 ago from a fishing trip in Maine but 1 subsequently, left for Chicago on | business Before returning he will | attend an outing of the New York | Gun club to be held in New Jersey, 1 and he may not get back to Plain l vile before Sunday.
 The committees which have been | active in the associations interest for l the past year have given splendid sat l isfaction and it Is not expected that l many changes will be made.
 Veterans Grateful.
 Members of Newton Manross post, 1 G. A. R., today expressed their ap- ! preciaton of the cooperation of the 1 in the annual observance l of Memorial Day yesterday. The vet | erans were particularly grateful to | autoists who loaned their machines | to cover the old soldiers over the line of march in both Plainville and For estville.
 Manross post has but few remain ing members. With one or two ex- captions they all took part in the eXer- cises in honor of the memory or thelr departed comrades yesterday. Ihev report that there was seemingly un- lsual interest in the exercises and the entered into the opserV- ance of the day with a spirit that was highly gratifying to them.
