 has required Miss Morgan's care. 1 and the town clerk feels that she owes her mother the best attention she can give.
 | For several months Miss Morgan has hired substitute 10 do much of . the detail work al the office. Sh. says that 8 town clerk must give 24 hours a day to her work and does
 not feel that she can spare the time. Some time ago she wished to retire but then decided to complete her present two-year term, which ex- ! pires on October 3.
 | William H. Wilson. town treasur-

 of the town clerk easily and ad- vantageously
 1 Political activity here is practical ly nll. although the annual town election is but little more than month away and the eaucuses but a | couple of weeks in the future. These, f by law, must be held by September 19, but as yet there have been no
 announcements concerning them
 and there is little interest. on the surface at least. in who the nomi-
 nees will be. John J. Kimmel will , run again for the republican nomin- ation as first selectmen, but it is be-
 lieved that opposition will be offered to his candidacy. There is mild in-
 terest in who will be named con-

 towns first board of finance will also draw large part of the voters attention.
 Storm Sewer Completed
 The storm sewer in the east end has now been completed and Con- tractor N. C. Casciano of West Hartford has removed his equip ment. His contract calls for him to leave the streets in the same condi- ton as he found them, 50 there is still some resurfacing to be done, as the roads are in a treacherousIy sandy condition at present This is likely to continue for a while, as it will be necessary for the soil to set tie before the pavement can be laid.
 No Radical Reaction i
 Plainville residents of Italian de scent appear to be satisfied with th- electrocution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Fanzetti and do not feel <, that their countrymen were victims Of any persecution.

He added that the jury had found the two men guilty and that , be would be the last to question their verdict.
 BusincssmenP Peck Spring
 Given halfway decent weather, the Businessmen and Peck Spring team will clash at the high school | field this evening in the first of their crucial two-gane series for the Industrial baseball league champion ship. All other games have been played off, leaving these two teams tied with seven victories and three losses apiece. On the results of the play-offs of these two postponed contests, therefore. the league cham hangs. That is, unless the break even, in which case a third tilt will be necessary.
 The Businessmen won their first game with tonights opponents, but hen the Spring Casters recruited a lew team and turned the tables in he second engagement. In fact, aft IT losing their first three contests. he Peck Spring aggregation has not been beaten, having won seven games and tied one and coming from he cellar to tie for the lead.
 The merchants are determined to top this rush and have a do-or-die pirit with them today. Bill Cum lingham appears to be back in early eason form. and if he gets good support he should be an even match Or Dudac, the Spring Casters
