 sionel-Local Sailors called.
 Employes of the Trumbull Electric company, their wives and sweethearts will have their annual outing Mon- day when as the guests of the factory owners. they will visit Savin Rock to start the vacation permitted by the closing of the plant for a week.
 For the past few years it has been the annual custom for the company to entertain its working force one day during the summer months On that occasion the company assumes the entire burden of the expense of an excursion to some shore resort and the employees are treated as the guests of the officials.
 Special trolley cars have been chartered to carry the excursionists to the Rock" Married men have been given tickets for their wives and the excursion will take the form of a family picnic. Single men receive tickets for themselves although number of them will be accompan nied to the shore by their sweethearts. The picnickers will also be the guests of the company at a shore dinner to be served after the party reaches the re- sort.
 During the day there will be a baseball game and other athletic sports in which the Circle IT. men will participate. The anfusements which the Rock" affords will also be enjoyed
 The Trumbun factory will be closed | all next week. During the shut l down the annual inventory will be l taken and repairs will be made to machinery. The company has large volume of thrilled orders on it's 1 books and the indications are that 1 the plant will be busy for some time | to come.
 Skelly's Appointment Approved.
 William c. Hart's selection of Robert J. Skelly to fill the vacancy on the board of Ire commissioners 1 caused by the resignation of Hugh Flood has been approved by the board of selectmen and the commits 1 sioner is now ready to meet with his l associates Mr. Floods resignation, l presented several weeks ago, was ! pigeon-holed until yesterday, the se- l lectmen delaying action in the hope ] that efforts to get him to reconsider would be successful Before concur | ing in MT. Hart's choice the board formally accepted MT. Floods with 1 drawal from the board.
 The action of the board in Mr. l Skelly's case was but a formality as it has been the custom for num- Der of years to permit the democratic l member to name his partys repre- sentative on the fire commission. Mr. 1 Flood served as democrat and con- I Nt ,r>,s was left to MT. Hart.
 Will Exceed Appropriation. The board of selectmen has been advised by its chairman, William J. | Johnson. that the appropriation for l highway improvements will probably
 be exceeded this year by reason of the states offer to allow the town to
 use the crushed stone taken from 1 West Main street and Forestville ave-
 nue for repairing roads in the out I laying districts.
 The laying of permanent pavement
 between Plainville and Bristol which
 makes possible the states offer gives
 the town an excellent chance to get
 "back" roads in good shaps at very
 small expense Thousands of dollars 1 worth of crushed stone will be taken
 from the highway in excavating for 1 amiesite and the town will not have to pay a cent for it. The cost of 1 carting and other expenses incident to
 using it for improvements will be
 considerable, however, and will make
 the highway expense for the year
 more than the selecman had esti- l mated.
 The improvement will be we'll | worth the extra expense. however,
 and will place Plainville in a position
 with towns which boast of excellent l highways
