BRISTOL REFUSES
PLAINVILLE PUPILS
Graduates Now Have No Place to
Attend High School
COMMITTEE IN A QUANDARY
Alleged Auto Thief to Arrive Today
To Attend Schol of Music-ReslImes
Work After Layoff-Signs Needed

Work After Layoff-signs Needed
in Center-Briefs.
l.. S. Mills, secretary of the Plain
Vile school committee has received
notice from the Bristol school board
that no pupils will be received for the
| High schools in that city. A second
refusal by the New Britain school
board was also received this morn
ing. The reasons given are that the
schools in tho respective cities are
already overcrowded and appearances
indicate that 1t will be difficult for
the boards there to accommodate the
large number of graduates from the
Grammar schools the coming school
term.
This latest development in the
school situation here puts the local
committee in a quandary. Because of
the fact that the local committee had
had verbal statement from the
Bristol authorities that the Plainville
pupils would be taken care of this
year providing that Plainvile showed
that efforts were being made to build
school of its own, the committee
had felt that the present crisis could
be taken care of satisfactorily. The
notification that no more pupils will
be accepted in Bristol and the second
refusal of the New Britain school
board to accept the graduates, pro.
duces the most serious situation to
confront the school committee in the
history of Plainville.
Mr.. Mills, in speaking of the mat
ter this morning, stated that the
school committee had no plans fol
the coming season because the notif-
cation had come after the last meeting
of the committee. He stated that the
time of the members had been taken
up in investigating the various schools
buildings throughout the state, and
the refusal of the two cities comes
like bombshell. The committee
will gather together in the near fn-
ture to attempt to plan for the COM
ing season.
Plainville now faces the additional
task of erecting High school with
out delay. Plans have been made 10
erect an additional Grammar school.
but the pupils DESTROYS Of entering
High school, must be placed. There
is little or no hope of High school

must be erected here during the next
