The construction program for 1881 of The Southern New England Telephone company, it was an- nounced today by Manager H. G. Davis calls for expenditures of $10,- 100000 for plant additions and re- placements. This sum is about 12 pere cent greater than the average yearly expenditures for this purpose during the past five years and as only construction needed to meet the requirements of the immediate fu- ture is included in the company s budget, it is evident that the man. agements outlook for better busi- ness conditions is a hopeful one.
 Moreover, in projecting the com pany's building program for the years 1882 and 1883 its officials be- Ieve that slightly larger expend- lures will be necessary during those two years to keep pace with the public requirement for telephone service.
 All types of new plant are includ ed in the construction program for 1881.
 The principal items include $3.' TOO. .000 for poles, wires, cables, and conduit; $2,585.000 for equipment to be placed on subscribers prem ises; $2,61O,000 for central office equipment to be installed in several exchanges. and $1,005.O00 for land and buildings.
 The principal details of the larger projects which these figures repre- sent, furnish an interesting View Of the telephone cOmpany's policy oi preparing well in advance for the expected growth in the public re- qurcments for service.
 Of the $3,70O,000 mentioned as the sum to be expended for poles wire cable, etc, $575,000 will bt spent for enlargement and improve. ment of toll line facilities and the balance of S3,125,00O for exchange outside plant.
 Some of the more important pro- jects for new cables and conduit in various exchanges are: Bridgeport including Stratford, $86,00O; Middle town, $38, 900: New Haven, includ- ing the Beacon and West offices $263, 900: New London, S67,00O; Waterbury, $1O5,000, and Westport SG4, 900.

Seymour Youth
 Held By Police

On the insistence of the state po-
 Ice that they expected to be in a
 position shortly to prove more
 serious charge, Michael Hodio. 21.
 of Church street, Seymour, was or dered detained here for a hearing
 next Wednesday morning. The youth
 was arrested Saturday by the state idleness. If the states principal
 witness is willing to appear and
 press the complaint the young man
 may be accused of breaking and en- tering a local residence.
 From what information the local police obtained in the case Hodio
 was caught in a home but managed
 to talk his way out of being arrest ed. Sometime later the owner wno
 released him discovered that his
 house had been thoroughly ran
 sacked and that the youth had evil dently liel to him. Before releasing he apparently managed to obtain his name and address and complained to the state police.
 The state police requested weeks
 continuance of the case. In view of the age of the youth and his claim that he has been summoned to Hartford as a witness in an auto | accident, Judge John F. McGrath | favored m immediate trial. Wednes- day morning was the compromise
 date. Bonds of $10O were named, but it is likely that the state police
 will made an additional charge to hold Hodio for trial.
 Diore DeMarco of 316 South Main street was fined $10 and costs for breach of the peace. When An
 thony Rosa, a neighbor. returned home he found DeMarco with his wife. Mrs Rosa complained to her husband that the accused was forc- ing his attentions upon her. De- | Marco indignantly protested that he
 was invited the Rosa home.
 John c. Kiernan, 27, of BOP High
 street, Naugatuck paid $5 for pass | irg a red light. Irving Drinkwater, 3s, South Leonard. who was arrest i ed for drinking everything but water had his rase nolled.
