 Notes-Bankrlptcy Meeting. Walter Wisk of New Britain has purchased the eastern half of the old Bristol Mfg. Go. property on i West Main street from E. 0. Barn | ard of Bristol and is tentatively { planning to erect building contain ing stores and possibly a theater. Mir. Wisk today emphatically denied rumors that he planned 10 conduct a. junk yard or automobile grave yard on the land.
 The property purchased by the New Britain man is that portion 4 nearest the railroad tracks and con- taining the main building, now used by the Trumbull Electric Mfg. Co.,. as warehouse. It was part of the land recently bought by Mir. Barn ard at public auction for $55.0Oo. Neither he nor Wisk would divulge the amount involved for the pres ent transaction. but rumor has set the purchase price at about $4O,oOo. The deal was made through Wasko- witz and Greenblatt of New Britain.
 Mir. Wisk will continue to rent storage space to the Trumbull fac tory. His other plans are still in definite, but he is contemplating the erection Of a business block hous- ing about six stores along West Main street. It is also possible. he says that a theater will be incorporated into the structure. Action upon these plans depends upon the weather, Mir. Wisk stated.
 The New Britain man fervidly de- nied that he would operate junk yard on the property. He said that he had no intention Of doing thing which would so detract from the ap- pearance Of the place. He was anxious to get at the origin of the report, which he said gave both Plainville and himself black eyes.

 II. S. Ties Litchfeld
 Plainville and Litchheld high schools struggled to their second 6-6 tie Saturday afternoon at the local schools football field. The game had been scheduled for the Iitch- field grounds, but these were under water because Of the flood in that district, so the contest was trans ferred here. It was played in raw weather with an intermittent cold drizzle, but a fairly large number of rooters braved the elements to cheer the locals.
 Plainville assumed the upper hand at the outset, marching down the field to the 2 yard line. from where George Backman carried the ball over on dash off left tackle. The try for extra point failed. Litchfield counted in the third quarter and all so failed in its goal kick. Plainville then reSorted to constant bunting to keep the ball in enemy territory and the game ended in stalemate. Good sportsmanship was displayed by both teams in this. their second meeting in month. The other game resulted In an identical score.
 Plainville high will close it's sea- son this Saturday by playing re- turn game with the South Manches- ter State Trade school in that place. These teams also played to a 6-6 tie when they met here.
