Cheshire, Oct. 2.-At e meeting of the board of selcctmen e petition was presented by residents of the Mixville section with l25 names signed to 1t. The petition asked for the installation of 6 dozen new lights in the towns street lighting system, Ave on Mixville road, three on the Marion road and four on the Waterbury road. It, was said by Mathew J. Bowman that every resident of the section signed 1t. It iS understood that the placing of these lights would require the in- stallation of Q new line. The corner of the Waterbury and MixVlile roads Is the site selected for one of the lights. There are many places in the town where the placing of street lights would reduce the hazards to a great extent. Many places where people board and leave the busses are dangerous at night and ad- ditional lights would greatly reduce utso duAABSA' ~ 10 " " ilOpSd bhihV the way can be found to place these additional lights.

Terryville, Oct. 2-Everything has been put in condition for the town election which will be held on Mon- day, the polls to be open from 6 a. m. until 3 D. m. With this town using the paper ballots, 1t is not ex- pected that the result of the vote will be known until probably g o'clock in the evening, due to the large split vote which Is prophesized for the day.
 The campaign here has been one of the quietest in several years, with William Eustice, republican candi- date seeking his 18th term, and op- posed by Kenneth Billings, for first selectman. MT. Billings has been democratic registrar of voters for several years and has proven an efficient man for his party. He is well liked among the younger vot- CTS of the town and has been active in athletics, having managed the St. CaSimir's teams in the State Polish League.
 Considerable interest is being shown in the vote for constableS, with the democratic party having nominated three and the republi- can party four, assuring all seven of election. However, James Duff, popular West Main street business man, who was defeated in the re- publican caucus for nomination as constable is running on a "write-in" campaign and many feel that he will draw 6 big vote, with a possi- ble chance of being elected.
 A "write-in" campaign Is being waged for Edward Hannabry, as Q candidate for auditor, a position which he has held for several years but which nomination he failed to gain in the democratic caucus this year He is being opposed by Oscar R. Haase, chairman of the demo- cratic town committee and a we'll known business man. Frank Mathes is the republican candidate for auditor.
