Plainville News LIGHTING C0. MAKES NEW GONGESSIONS Willing to Reduce Price Per Light to $19.60, Selectmen Hear ASK TRAMWAY C0. T0 BID Company Will Also Use Eighty Can- dle Power Lamps if Contract Is Re- newed—Stockholders To Meet— —Body of Suicide Identified—Briefs New concessions offered by the United Electric Light and Water company for a renewal of the con- tract for street lighting were report- ed to the selectmen at their weekly meeting last evening. No action was taken by the board, the members having decided to first get figures from the Bristol and Plainville Tram- way company, which, they understand has franchise rights for lighting here. Although G. F. Atwater, the com- pany’'s representative in this aistrict, told the board some time ago that it would be Impossible to reduce the price unless a ten years contract was made, the selectmen were informed last evening that the town would have to pay but $19.50 for each lamp on making a five year agreement. At present the cost of each incandescent it $20. In addition to lowering the cost, the company has®agreed to fur- nish lamps of eighty candle power to replace those now in use. Sixty candle power bulbs now serve in lighting the streets. As the town is at present using over 120 lamps, the saving under the proposed five yvear renewal will exceed $60 a year, should the voters favor the agreement. On a ten year con- tract the price would be reduced to $19 a year. First Selectman Johnson told his associates that he had taken up the street lighting matter with the Bristol company and its officers have prom- ised to submit a bid within a few days. Both propositions will be put before the voters at a special town meeting to be held about Devember 15th. Stockholders To Meet. Owners of stock in the Plainville Trust company which has been grant- ed a banking certificate will meet next Friday night for the purpose of elect- ing a board of directors to look after the business. The stock in the new company is held by the men in- teresting in the First National bank, the shares having been given to them in exchange for those of the concern which it succeeds. The incorporators of the new com- rany are al]l directors of the National bank and it is expected that they will be elected to serve in a similar capa- city at the coming meeting. Picture Exhibit December 2 and 3. An_exhibition of photographs and paintings will be given in the library quarters In the town building on December 2 and 3 under the auspices of the Plainville Camera club, it was announced today. The club has been working on the arrangements for the exhibit for some time and the mem- bers report having collected a large number of pictures which will be dis- played. Practically all the members have made up photographs which will be entered in the exhibit and there will also be contributions from outsiders. Mrs. Bunnell's Will Filed. The will of Mrs. Sirena Bunnell, who died some time ago, has been offered for probate. By its terms, in- terest in real estate owned by the tes- tator is left to her daughter, Mrs. Fannie Jankins. The latter is named as executrix. Judge Byington has admitted the document. Smoker Postponed. Owing to the inclement weather the sccial session of the Holy Name soclety of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, scheduled for this evening in Crange hall, has been postponed. The affair will be held next week, probably on Tuesday. Suicide Identified. Positive identification of the de- composed body of a man found in a sitting posture beneath a tree from which dangled a rope, in the woods in East Bristol yesterday afternoon was made today, relatives of Arnold Duffy, who disappeared from his heme in Bristol on October 12th, de- claring that the suicide was without question their missing kinsman. Duffy leaves a widow and one child. Before his disappearance, the young man explained that he was going to Bridgeport, where he expected to work, The body was discovered by John Young and Lawrence Bradley of For- estville, who made the grewsome find while hunting. The men were at- tracted to the spot by their dog whose strange actions near the tree where the body was found caused them to investigate. They reported the mat- ter to the police and the remains were removed to Bristol. That the man had committed sui- cide was most apparent. The condi- tions indicated that he 'had climbed the tree, fastening one end of a piece of clothesline to a limb about eighteen feet from the ground. The noose on the other end he notted around his neck and then jumped to eternity. The rope evidently broke under his weight but not before the suicide’s plans were accomplished- Bartenders Laid Off. Owing to a big falling off in bus- iness which followed the action of the voters of Bristol in declaring for li- cense in that city, Plainville saloon- keepers have adopted a policy of re- trenchment and as a result some of the bartenders have or will lose '.heu'1 places.
