GWILLIM MAKES SIJGGESIIONS‘ Encouraging Reports Presented By the Officers.—Opposed to Principal Judd’s Re-election.—Students in Concert.—Briefs. H. A. Castle, one of the most thusiastic members of the Business and Improvement - association, was elected president to succeed Stanley S. Gwillim, at the annual meeting of the organization held in ‘the court room in the town hall last evening. Mr. Castle was the unanimous choice of the members after Mr. Gwillim had declined a re-election_ The latter had served for two terms and was anxious to turn over the reins to some one else. Mr. Castle had done a great deal for the organization since it was formed and was the logical candidate for the leadership. Frank T. Wheeler was elected vice president and Frederick L. Benzon was named to succeed A. A. McLeod as secretary and treasurer. The fol- lowing were elected members of the board of directors for the ensuing two years: F. P. Usher, F. G. Stephenson, Rev. H. T. Walsh and N. Elmore Clark. Encouraging reports were present- ed by the retiring officers. That of Treasurer McLeod concerning the fi- nances of the organization was par- ticularly gratifying. His statement showegd that but one member has ne- glected to pay his dues and that there is a balance in the treasury of $105.77, 'The committee in charge of the seventh annual banquet given a week ago gave an incomplete report in which it was indicated that by rais- ing the price of tickets to $2, - the members succeeded in getting enough money to pay the expenses without having to ask for additional subscrip- tions. President 8, S. Gwillim’s report and recommendations follow in part: “During the past year we have done considerable missionary work on the sidewalk question, particularly East Main street, and we hope some- thing will be accomplished on this street during the coming year. “We were instrumental in having a clean-up week last May, which was a very successful one, and is being re- peated this year. We aided in having the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company stop their cars farther from the end of the line and we have given the postmaster all the assistance we could toward ifproving the post office conditions, and have aided so far as we were able to, the work done by the sanitary sewer committee. “We have received six new mem- bers during the past year, two have died, six have been dropped for non- payment of dues and three have signed. Our present membership is ninety. “I have the following recommenda- tions to make: “First—That the association push the sidewalk question and not let up until something has been done to im- prove the present conditions. “Second—That this associaton as- sist the sanitary sewer proposition and do all it can to aid in the work in establishing a good sewer system in Plainville. “Third—That we advocate and work for a better post office with ade- quate, facilities to meet the present needs. “Fourth—That we endeavor to stir up pride among the local merchants for a cleaner and better looking cen- en- ter. “Fifth—That we advocate ‘and fav- or an annual budget to be submitted to the voters at their annual town meeting so that a tax may be laid suf- ficient to meet our expenses. “Sixth—That the membership com- mittee make an earnest endeavor to get new members. “I desire at this time to thank the officers, directors and the various committees of the association for their hearty co-operotion and loyal support during the past year, and I assure these gentlemen that the co-operation and loyalty, especially of the treasurer and secretary has been of great as- sistance in the work of the association, and I bespeak for my successor the same degree of loyalty and co-oper- ation. We have an association here which is capable of much good work for the town and it should be given the hearty support of every good cit- izen who is interested in the welfare of Plainville.” Oppose Principal’s Re-election. That there will be opposition to the re-election of Orrin L. Judd as prin- cipal of the schools aws stated today by one of the town’s leading social- ists, who expressed the opinion that the present head of the town’s school plant is incompetent. He declared that his opposition is as a citizen rather than as a member of any po- litical party and he expects that con- siderable pressure will be brought to bear on the school board to prevent Principal Judd’'s re-election. The school committee will probably elect teachers before the end of the month, holding a special meeting for that purpose. Principal Judd appears to stand high in the estimation of the committee and the opinion seems to prevail that he will be invited to con- Twenty-three radiators for a steam [ tinue in charge of the schools during the coming year.

Students in Concert. The Town hall has been engaged for the evening of May 19 by the Jeers’ club of Wesleyan university. The members of the club are students in the Middletown college and are now making a tour of the state. Monologues and other comedy fea- tures in addition to musical selections will make up their program. W. C. T. U. Explains. The “Herald” has received the fol- lowing statement concerning the at- titude of the W. C. T. U, on the mat- ter of removing its fountain from the monument plot on Central square, with the request that it be published: “The Woman’s Christian Temper- ance union would like this fully un- derstood, that the railroad company did grant them the privilege of erect- ing the fountain on their land and beautifying the same, hence the tri- angle. A yearly rent is paid, in ad- vance, for the privilege. Is rent paid for the privilege of the monument standing there? Our lease calls for twelve feet, more or less, and a vet- eran remarked he would rather that the monument extended onto that twelve feet, for which we do not care, but we wonder why an article is in the New Britain Herald every now and then for the removal of the foun- tain. There is no other suitable place for it. Had the fountain not been placed there the plot-would not have been ready for the monument. The organization does not object to the monument being there, or ask for its removal, as several men asked why they did not—one request is as reasonable as the other—but they do feel there should have been courtesy shown and they should have been consulted in Tegard to placing the | monument there instead of trespass- | ing upon their rights. “It is extremely unfortunate that the gate should have been put in an inconvenient place, as the foun- tain was there first, and is not so small that it could not be seen when the gate was put in. A veteran told a member of the W. C. T. U. they did not want the fountain removed. The W. C. T. U. has been capable of attending to its business, and the per- son or persons so interested will have enough to take up their time if they attend to their own affairs and do it properly. THE W. C. T. U.” Closing of Campaign. The Business and Improvement as- sociation’s clean-up campaign will be breught to a close tomorrow when the town teams will cart away the rub- bish collected on the = western tremity of West Main street Forestville avenue. The campaign this year, it is gen- erally believed, is even more success- ful than its predecessor and the spot- less town crusade will probably be ex- and conducted annually hereafter. The association has the co-operation of the townspeople and the seléctmen as well as a result the work is being done at a nominal cost. ‘Want License Transfer. Thomas G. Russell, Jr., is preparing to make application to the county commissioners for a transfer of the liquor license held by his father to himself. The probate court will be asked for an order permitting a con- tinuance of the business until Mr, Rus- sell’s estate is settled and the com- missioners will be requested to au- thorize the transfer, a formality to which it is not expected there will be any objection. Mr. Russell is reported to have died without leaving a will and application for letters of administration will probably be made to the probate court within a few days. Brief Items. Frank Prior returned to New York tcday after a few days visit in town with relatives. The Holy Name society of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy will hold a smoker this evening in the ‘Town hall. The speakers will be Rev. H. T. Walsh, Rev. William Kilcoyne and Judge W. J. Malone. Vocal and instrumental selections will also be given. Y The local schools were closed today, the teachers attending the annual convention at Hartford. Chairman F. T. Wheeler today called a meeting of the officers of the sanitary and sewer district for this evening when plans will be made for getting the voters together to take definite action on the question of building a complete sewer system. A miscellaneous shower was ten- dered last evening to Miss Mary Farrar at her home on North Wash- ington street by a number of her friends. Miss Farrar's engagement to Martin Casey of Bristol was recently announced. Members of the W. R, C. and Man- ross Post, G. A. R, were the guests of Morgan G. Bulkeley camp, S. of V. at its meeting last evening. Examinations for clerks and car- riers for the local post office will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock in the post office in New Britain.
