GEORGE p. MARTIN
 D|ESAT HIS HOME Prominent Resident Passes Away at Maplehurst WAS VICTIM OF RHEUMATISM
Barbcrs Vote to Incrcase Price of Haircuts and Slaves, Feeling That Public Failed to Support Lower Ratcs-Church Notices.

 Barbers Increase Prices.
 Alphonse Bordeau, Fred Weston, George Fate and Frank Reale, local barbers held a meeting recently at which they voted to increase the price of haircuts and slaves. Here after, all haircuts will be 50 cents and shaves 20 cents instead of 35 cents for haircuts and IS cents for slaves. This new schedule will go into effect Monday of next week. | The reason for the jump in prices is due to the lack of support the Plainville residents give when, six months ago, they announced a cut in their rates. The barbers claim that they reduced their prices in or der to accommodate the many men who were out of work and were un- able to pay the prices asked.
 Now, they contend, these same peo- pie have secured employment and are not patronizing them any better with the result that they cannot make enough e continue business at fair profit. The barbers say that the laundries have not reduced costs on cleaning towels or other material necessary to operate the tonsorial shops, nor have hair tonics come down either.
