Wilson has been town treasurer for the past four years and will combine the two offices. He has had a great deal of experience in financial and clerical matters both in municipal affairs and in business.
 For 1c years he was town treas urer in Harwinton, his native town, and for two years he was connected with the Brooks Bank & Trust Co. of Torrington. Coming to Plainville about 1913, MT.

While Mir.

 MT. Wilson announced today that his office hours will be from a. m. to 12 noon and from to D. m. eX- cept Saturdays, when he will be in his office only during the morning. Because of the number of hunting and fishing permits which he expects 10 issue next week. he intends to be at tho Town hall two nights but has not vet settled upon which nights they will he.
 He will be assisted in his work by Miss Mary Royce. who will relieve him of the greater part of the cleri- cal work
 Miss Morgan has served as town clerk for the past five and a half years. When Town Clerk Robert C. Usher died in April, 1922. she was appointed by First Selectman Will liam J. Johnson to fill out his term, and when the next election came she was nominated by both parties and returned 10 office unopposcd. The same lack Of opposition char acteriZed her reelection in 1925.
 During the past year Miss Nor gan's mother has been i'll and the town clerk has been forced 10 at tend 10 her, haTpcring her in her official duties. She therefore would not consent to he a candidate for reelection this fall.
 Miss Morgan said today that her relations with the great ma iority of the to~nspeoplc have been very pleasant and cordial. She has re- ctivcd numerous expressions of re- grct that she was ending her term, several telephone calls from out oC town being among the messages. While her mothers illness made her office hours irregular at times and resulted in some criticism, Miss Nor gan always was accessible at her homo and transacted 8 great deal of town business on her own time after office hours rather than incon- vrnicncc those seeking her services. She was unfailnsly courteous and there will be many who will be sorry to have her retire.
