BUSINESS OUTLOOK IS GOOD

Today = Church Notices = Other
 Items of Interest.
 The hum of the machinery, recent ly discontinued, in the Bristol Mills has been a pleasing sound to the residents of the town and although the plant officials do not contem- plate any immediate opening, the prospects for future business is brightening. At the present time there are about half dozen or more girls. working on machines in the factory turning out samples and
 filling broken sizes in the stock rooms which have been sold during
 the time the plant was closed There are no immediate prospects in view
 of throwing open the doors to operate again op large scale as many of the
 people are wont to think and the force at the plant now is not as large as had been rumored. When the factory closed it's doors last Septem- Der, all work came to an abrupt standstill and the broken lots of sizes remained unified Even the work on the various machines was left and these hava been cleaned up.
 The officials were of the opinion that when the plant closed in Sep tember business would warrant an opening again the first of January
 This was not found so and prob-S ability of operating in March was then looked forward to. There were no business houses buying however
 and the March opening was not carried out. There are hopes how ever for a decided increase in busi- ness within the next six weeks as the outlook now is promising. The wholesale houses have evidently found buyers and these orders will necessarily have to be filed
 The new samples which are being worked out promise to be a success as expert designers have been con suited on the subject and have ap
 proved of them: A new garment is being planned which will it is ex- pected, place the Bristol Mills in |'higher rank among the business houses, than ever before during the
 65 years they have been in operation. Eventually. when the garment is placed on the market, the plant will in all probability see fit to operate on it's usual scale and hire the old. hands in again. There is no definite date however for this x~s
 Registrars vSerG Busy
 The registrars oi voters held busy session at the town hall yesterday af- ternoon and evenine placing the le- ga! voters of tho town on their re- spective party lists for the comig eau cuses. There were a total of 16O en- rolled. Of these there were 40 demo crata and the rest republicans. The majority of them, however, were women who decided not to be left at the caucus sessions.
 It appears that during the past years, the legal voters of the town have not been acquainted with the necessity of placing their names upon these lists as it needed to have the right to vote at the town caucuses Many are of the opinlon that if they are legal voters of Plainville they can | exercise this right of franchise and vote at a caucus. This is not so. Any ! person who has fai1ed to place his 1 or her name upon the respective party l list during the times the registrars were in session. as they were last night. have not the light to vote at a caucus. This is in efrect providing ! the checklist is being used This l checklist showa all persons who placed their names on the party lists ! during the sessions of the registrars ] and the names are checked off as the person votes. Any other voter, who appears to vote at the caucus, and has not placed his name on the list, can no: vote
 However, during the past several | years, the check has not been used with the result that all the legal vot- CTS of the town could exercise their right to vote at a caucus. There were two times, however, that the check list was used and it caused some commotion. The people did not un- derstand the necessity of placing their names on the party lists. It is not probable that the checklist will be
 used this year but should the ques- tion come up, and it is used again, 1 there will be 19O people in the town, out of some 700 voters, able to vote | at the caucus, simply because they l placed their names on their party list.
 It is hoped, however. that the check l list will not be useG and save some 1 excitement until the voters realize the l necessity of placing their names on l their proper lists for the caucus vot- ing right.
