ARMORY HEARING
 AT THE CAPITOL
Bristol to Be We'll Represented
 at Discussion
TWELFTH DISTRICT MEETING
Sentiment Said to Be Unfavorable to Consolidation With Third--Man and Woman Ordered to Leave City.

City.
 Local officials will attend the hearing on the proposition to erect an armory in this city when it is taken up by the state legislative committee tomorrow afternoon at 1:S0 o'clock. The armory bill has had one hearing before the commit tee so that the session tomorrow is expected to result in a decision.
 Indications are that this city will have its new armory, unless the finance committee frowns on the ex- penditure as very little opposition was voiced at the first hearing on the bill. The only opponents were from New Haven and Manchester. In the latter city, an armory has been built but citizens of that place want more equipment for the build ing. New Haven has an armory but wants new one, so that this city is considered the logical place for the erection of new armory, ac- cording to the view held by national guardsmen.
 There are two guard companies in the city and both have established a high rank in guard technique by the records of drills and other work. At the present time, the commands are housed in quarters leased from the Red Mems Building Go. commodious enough except for drills which call for the whole company's partici- pance. It has been the custom be- cause of the lack of room to take the companies out into the streets for company maneuvers. when the weather permitted.
 May Discuss Salaries
 Discussion of the salaries of local officials is not anticipated for the state legislative hearing. which will be held this week on the matter, as it generally conceded about the city that the recent controversy has been settled. For some time, the city council and the court officials diff fered in regard to the recompense for the judicial labor but advices from reliable sources indicate that the matter has been arranged sat. isfactorily and that the court of f1cials will secure a substantial in crease over this years payment, ant much larger amount than the council was at first willing to acree upon.

 call will be issued shortly by Dis trict Chairman Howard Andrews for a gathering of the voters of the Twelfth School district on Saturday night at the Fall Mont bungalow, when the building problems of the district will again be discussed.
