The annual excursion of the enl- ployes of the Trumbull Electric com- pany was held today at Savin Rock and proved the most popular of the outings held by the com pany for the past few years.
 At the shore resort today the en- ployes were the absolute guests of the company and everything that they could desire was set before them.
 Seven special trolleys left the center at 8 o'clock and all of them were well filled. Many more journeyed to the resort by auto. It is estimated that between 500 and 700 were in attend ance The party will return home late tonight. The Trumbull factory is now enjoying it's annual vacation and will not reopen it's plant until next Monday morning.

 There were many residents of the town complaining this morning about the water which they are rereiVing at the hands of the Plainyillc Water company. and these same poole WaXcd indignant that such a community should have to stand fishN, dark brown water for drinking and othe1 purposes while there sare springs af beautiful clear water a the dispoSal of the wa ter CpDlp pany to use.
 Horses after stopping at the water inastFough at Central squa reSs1kent on sWitKout drinking. The reasons4or tho l,a q water are not known. For the past three or four days there has been a Very dsagreeable taste to the water and people from out of. town have refused to drink it. It is prob able: that the.water now being fur. nislsed is filled with some mineral sub stance which causes the funny taste. The Plainvi1lc reservoir haSa always caused complaints n~forme CT years and t is probable that such complaints will end with' the. usage of4the*sprihg tion rro' iasilvef.srove. < s' s ''''''> '.
