Quarrymen, the White Oak Quarry
 company has hired guards to do duty at the plant while labor troubles con- tinue. The company has refused to grant the demand of the men for B nine
 hour day and has notified the strikers that they have been discharged, the plant being shut down until men can
 be secured to take their places. The guards have been sworn in by
 the selectmen as special policemen. One of the officers arrested an in-
 toxicated individual who was loiter-
 ing around the plant yesterday. Grand
 Juror Norton let the man go after it
 was found out that he had no in- terest in the strike.
 May Pave Only to Town Line. Displeased over the failure of the
 town to join in making the improve
 ment, Highway Commissioner Bennett
 is said to be considering cutting Plain
 vile out of his plan, for paving the road to Bristol. Responding to an ap-
 peal from Bristol officials, MT. Bennett
 had agreed to have amiesite laid from
 Bristol to Plainville. Work has already
 been started On the Bristol end. The commissioner was anxious to have the pavement extend from curb to curb and he wanted the town to pay a part of the expense. Select. |. man Johnson didn't believe the town
 could afford to spend the amount re- quired and he gave MT. Bennett but
 little encouragement.
 It was reported today that the commissioner may order the con- tractors to have the pavement ter minate at the F'orestville town line, leaving the highway in Plainville unA improved.
 The need of pavement on this much travelled thoroughfare has l been apparent for a long time and commissioner from time to time to | make the improvement.
 Now that he has decided to put the 1 highway in modern shape 1t would be unfortunate if false economy on the part of this town should interfere with ] making the improvement complete. The town refused to pay towards paving Whiting street, that the amies- ite might extend from curb to curb, the voters believing that the expense would be more than the taxpayers could stand at this time.
 Should the West Main street pro- position be put before them, however, it is believed they would agree to ain appropriation for coveringJ the full width of the road, especially in the business district. It is generally thought that the efforts of the high IIway commissioner to dos something for Plainville should be appreciated
 to the extent of the towns making at least a small appropriation to demon . strate it's willingness to cooperate in improving the highways within its borders. l Frochlich- White Wedding. A pretty wedding took place yes- terday afternoon at the home of MT.
