 With the closing of the meeting the committee in charge of the plans dropped out of existence and the se- lectmen of the town will assume the responsibilities. The committee should he thanked for having given the au- thorities a good foundation to work on.
 Bids on the work will probably be received in a few days from different contractors about the vicinity and contracts will. in ali probability, be awarded shortly. Because of the dis advantages offered by the detours and the heavy traffic over this bridge the auth critics will take especial pains to expedite construction.

 Registration List Received.
 This morning Town Clerk Francis H. Shaw received a list of names of persons whose registration cards have been filed away at the office of the military registration board depart ment.
 The reason for this move by the military authorities, Mir. Shaw thinks. Is that the list will possibly be used in connection with the conscription in checking up. As the duplicates which were made of the registration cards were sent to Hartford and the orig inals given to B. I. Miller, secretary of the Hartford county registration board there would have been nothing to work on if the cards should have been wanted for that purpose.
 It was rumored about town this morning that the names of several young men of the vicinity. who were well aware of the fact that they were supposed to nesister on June , and did not have been sent to United States District Attorney Thomas J.. Spellacy.
