 CalIum in Southington Crash. lishment of the two new playgrounds one in East Bristol and one in For cstville, will be taken soon, accord ing 10 plans announced by city of ticials. The two playgrounds are in the line of an experiment. neither past years.
 In East Bristol it was originally planned to provide play spot for the children on city owned land on Middle street but after discussing the matter at a recent school meet ing, the voters of that section decid- cd that the logical place would be on property adjoining the school. The school site not only provides ample room, but shade as well, in contrasts to the Middle street plot where there are no trees.
 | In Forestville the playgrounds will be located on land of the Sessions | Clock Co.,. located just north of the railroad tracks. This location is considered excellent because of the 1 fact that it will he available for chill | dren living in both the northern and southern sections Of the village. Some cleaning up and grading is necessary and this work is to be done by the public works depart ment The city has been granted the use of the land by w. Kenneth Sessions, president Of the Sessions 1 Clock Co.,, until such time as it may be found the concern requires it for 1 it's own use.
 In the city proper, there are three we'll established playgrounds, one at Rockwell Park, the second on Roots Island and the third on Burlington avenue in the vicinity of the John ! Jennings school. Last year thous- ands of children in the city availed themselves of the facilities provid- ed and their activities were careful ly watched over by paid employees.
 Carl M Penny. who supervised playground activities last year so successfully has been reengaged by the city for the coming summer and he will appoint his own assistants Already a number Of applications | for positions as assistant supervisors have been received by the play ground commission but these are be-. ing held until Mir. Penny's arrival in June.
 To cover the expense Of opening the playgrounds in East Bristol and l ForestNille and maintaining the three in Bristol, the city council has appropriated the sum of $3,50o. It , is probable that this amount will be increased in the event it is found in- sufficient 10 carry out the seasons | program.
