soctadon-AmbulancefC Corps to Hear
Address by Lieut.. Stuart Phelps.
Among the men who were examined
last night in Bristol as to the con-
dition of their teeth were IA from
soon for the training camp with the
quota which goes to make up the
last IL per, cent.
The examinations were held at the
Masonic temple; the selectives affected
being notified to report at the office
of Prosecuting Attorney James T.
Mather. Although the draft board
has received no word from the gbv-
eminent as to the exact date on which
these men will be called it is taken
for granted that they will leave soon
because Of the fact that the dental
examination is one of the very last
to be given.
It is not definitely known as to
whether the men will all go to Camp
Devens or whether some of them will
be sent to Fort Fl. G. Wright, located
near New London.
No Insurance Settlement.
AS yet no satisfactory settlement
has been made in regard to the in
surance due the town of Plainville
through the damage done to the town
hall by the recent fire.
The hall was valued at about SIS
600 and carried insurance to the
amount of $1,000 which, it is
thought, will cover all damage done.
At present Grange hall is being used
by the selectmen as their Offices and
also as the temporary headquarters
OF the library.
It Is not known as to what use the
old town hall will be put and moth
ing will be decided upon until the
meeting is held next Monday night.
1t may be that the hall will be rebuilt
so as to serve the town as an engine
house and in case such a decision is
made a New town hall would be erect
ed some time in the near future.
