 Governor Everett T. Lake greeted 50 pupils of the P1ainville Cram mar schools eighth grade in his ex- ecutive office this morning. Senator John H. Trumbull and Representative Charles Hanson arranged with the governor to have Principal Orrin L.. Judd and the school children attend the morning session of the legisla- ture today. They also visited several or the large governmental buildings in Hartford. The party left on the s:SO o'clock train accompa nied by MT. Judd, Mrs. Cecil Bedford and Miss Mildred Nelson, teachers of the eighth grades. The children carried their lunch.
 Governor Lake personally greeted and shook hands with all of the chill dren in his office at II o'clock this morning following the session of the senate. During the afternoon, the party visited the Travellers Insurance building. the Atheneum where they were shown the vast collection of the Morgan Memorial and the Henry Mill Ter curiosities. They also went through the library and the supreme court house.
 This is the first opportunity the school children have had to visit the legislature sessions and the large buildings in that city. MT. Judd has planned and held several partieS of this sort during the past term. When the automobile show at Hartford was in progress some time ago he took a class of pupils and visited the place. They have proved interesting and ed- ucational and the pupils enjoy them thoroughly. After a visit of this sort they are generally instructed to write an essay on what had been seen and done. Sewer Work Progressing.
 Work on the new surface sewer on Broad street is progressing favorably and a gang of men is working on it. Edward P. Prior is in charge of the excavation and more than 35 men have been given work. All the pipes have arrived and within a short time they will be laid. The men have struck water and working without boots is found difficult. The entire sewer from Broad street to North Washington street will probably be completed within few weeks. This new addition will be a decided inn provement to the street as it had before been in muddy condition, due to the fact that the surface water could not drain off.
 School Committee Meeting. r The town school committee will hold a special meeting tonight. The teachers salaries will be discussed. Practically every teacher on the force has applied for an increase and the committee will have a busy session this evening. There are also some for next term.
 When the fall term opens it ie probable that several new teachers will be seen.
