 Epworth League Plans for Peach
 Cake Social-Vital Statistics Rer>or
 Some delay has been encountered in completing the proposed new high. way which is to run from Whiting street to Washington street. The road has been surveyed by Joseph N. Me- Herman, engineer of the Plainville water department and a map of the street is now on file at the town clerks office. It is proposed to have the street commence at point short distance beyond Broad street on the right hand sidA of Whiting street, going in the direction of Southington. It will cross the tract of land between the railroad tracks and Whiting street and crossing the railroad tracks will pass the new plant of the Plainville Casting com pany. It will then continue over to Washington street, connecting Whit ing and that street.
 There is a distance of about mile and one-tenth between Washing ton and Whiting streets. More in formation is being sought after by the officials in charge Of constructing the proposed highway and it is pos sible that a call will soon be issued for town meeting 10 consider the new street, providing ways and means are found to have the. highway laid out without interfering with the state laws regarding the crossing of rail- roads. In the minds of many people hut x,yt,- way can be built to cross the tracks and make grade crossing With the new highway made, it will mean a lot for the residents of Washington street, who find it necessary to walk a great distance down Broad street to Whiting to catch a trolley or go to the center. The new street how ever, will enable them to cut directly across.
 The Plainville Casting company will also be greatly benefited by the proposed improvement which is be- ing planned. It will be direct highway for the workers to connect with the center of the town instead of going down Bank street which is always in bad condition following a rain storm or during the winter months. The factory must have some proper street connection and the outcome of the proposition now under consideration will be looked forward to with interest by it.
 Bank Brings Suit
 Herve Brault, Rene J. Brault and w. s. Dourlam, have been named de- fendants in a suit for $3,500 being brought against them by the Plain vile Trust company. The writ was issued yesterday by Judge William J. Malone of Bristol, and is returnable the first Tuesday of September in the city court. The suit is the outcome of an alleged non-payment of a loan of $1,5o0 which the bank claims to have issued the three men while in business in this town. The Brault brothers are we'll known locally, hav- ing been with the Plainville Engin- eering and Supply company before it was entered into bankruptcy.

When in Hartford he will preach at the St. Johns Episcopal church for several Sundays.
 His vacancy here will be filled by B. B. Styring of Southington, during the rest of August. There has been no one secured as yet to fill the a
 Factory Busy
 The plant of the Plainville Cast ing company is reported as doing an excellent business for the short time 1t has been operating. There is a force of some Is men at the plant at the present and a night shift is working until 10 o'clock every night to catch up with outstanding orders. The plant is an addition to the rapid manu- featuring growth of Plainville and its erection was hailed with satisfaction by the resid ents. Although there are not many local men employed there on account of the scarcity of first class moulders here, when the plant grows, and orders increase, there may be an opportunity for local men to get jobs. The factory is modern in every re- spect and promises to be one of the best equipped in this vicinity when complete machinery is installed. New additions will be erected to turn out first class work. Although the general outlook for increased hours in the local factory is not very pleasing, the manufacturers are optimistic and the passing of a few more months will probably see longer hours ..
