tery One of the drivers was going at an excessive rate of speed and was unable to stop for over a hundred yards. The damage done was to the lenders on each car, which were bent up badly. The two drivers began arguing with one another, each plac- ing the blame on the other. What the outcome of the argument was is unknown as they finally got into their cars and drove off.

DOUBLE TRACKING IS AGAIN SOUGHT Business and Improvement Assn.
 Wants Better Service FACTORY HELP AFFECTED
Association Also Wants Sidewalks on Pennington Avenue and Suggests Other Needed Additions and Im- proyements-Brief News Items.

At a meeting of the Business Mems association of Plainville recently, the question of having a double track run ming between Sharp's and Trumbull's S was brought up for discussion. The association has, since it's organiza- ton, brought up this question and time and again it has been laid aside while other work was done.
 The double track proposition has been wanted and discussed by the factory officials of the TrumbulI and Rockwell plants because of the fact that much of the help coming to work from New Britain mornings is held up at Sharp's until the trolley bound from Plainville passes the switch. With the comple- tion of the Landers, Frary & Clark building and the new addition at the Trumbull plant there will prOba bly, be twice the number of wOrkmen coming into this town and the estab- fishing of double track between New Britain and Plainville would bet ter the service both ways.
 Whether this double track proposi tion will be considered will remain
  petition will be drawn up by the Bus mess Mems association and presented to the Connecticut company. The pc tition will be outlined showing the vast improvements which can be made in the freight and passenger service on the Plainville lines.
 According to the report received this morning much of the goods pro- duced at the new plant of the Lan- ders, Frary & Clark concern, will be shipped by trolleys to the main plant in New Britain. The traffic on the lines between New Britain and Plain vile has increased doubly during the past several years and the betterment of the service by having double tracks all the way through would be greatly appreciated by the patrons of the road.
 Sidewalks Needed.
 It was also decided at the meeting that action be taken shortly on the laying of a concrete sidewalk from Pennington avenue as far as the rail- road tracks. The walks in that local ity have been of cinders and for the past several months have been in very bad need of repairs. A committee was appointed to take action on making an estimate of what the cost of such @ walk would be. A report will be made at the next meeting.
 The heavy traffic asd violation of speed laws by the many transients of the West Main street road created much comment at the meeting. Near ly all present had some suggestion to offer in regard to the dangerous situa- tion for persons crossing the steers on Sundays and other holidays. The as sociation has received instructions from E. l.. Stebbins, state automobile commissioner, requesting the associa- ton to have the residents of West Main street be on the lookout for
New Britain herald., 1919-09-06

speed VlOlatOrS and report the speed kings to the automobile commission CTS office, where an investigation will be taken up.
 The bad condition of the road which is always flooded with water in the To- cality of East Main street was dis cussed, after which it was decided that the state highway commissioner and town road commissioners be notified of the present condition of the street and be asked to make repairs
 A committee was appointed to ap- prOach the highway department on this question, also to make further in VeStigatiOn of the condition of other state roads in the town. The associa- tion feels that since the motive of the organization is to help the town of Plainville in it's development into a city the members of the association should look after everything of inter- est pertaining, to this town.
 Boy Scout Leader.
 Rev. c. R. Strobel, one of the we'll known local residents, was given the appointment of scout master by a vote of the association. Rev. Strobel announced today that he will start his duties immediately and will consult the scout headquarters at New York city about securing a charter for the local scouts.
 Outing September 27.
 The final discussion held by the as- sOCiatiOn was in regard to the outing and clambake which is to be held shortly. Ralph Seymour, secretary, reported that an outing to be held in P1ainville was favored by the mem bers of the association and asked that the committee in charge consider the plan of holding the clambake in the lot near the PlainVille pumping sta ton. Following a short argument, the outing place was selected as proposed by MT. Seymour. The date fixed for the affair was September 27. A com mittee was appointed to make ar rangem ents for the day and will make a report at an early date. The pro- gram will be announced later.

 SCHOOL FINANCES ! TOPIC DISCUSSED Increased Expenses Caused h.
 debtedness Which Is Apparent HIGHWAY BEING REPAIRED
Usual Services in Local Churches Want to Change Memorial Contract County Sealer Here-Niss Kiniry ReSignS-Briefs.

A full accounting of the expendi- lures of the school board has been secured and is printed in full Due to the criticism of the other evening about the schools finances itl was considered advisable to give a re- equalization of the expenses for the past two years and also a detailed summary of the deficit over which there was such a discussion in the town meeting just passed The ex- penditures are given in detail and it will be noticed that there is an in crease in practically every item list ed.
 Last year $3O0O was appropriated to take care of anticipated increases but this was used up in almost it's en- tirety for teachers alone, leaving nothing for the increased costs in tother departments. The truth of this statement will be noticed by check ing over the accounting as given above. The voters of the town have never seen an accurate account of the expenses as incurred by the school board and it is given here in order that any further criticism in this regard might be stopped. Mem bers of the school board are not on the board to give their entire time to the job as the selectmen do and could not be expected to know as much about the minute details of their position, not being paid for their time.
