Because of Carelessness SECOND TRENCH REQUIRED Laborers Dig Up Amiesite” to Find A That Gas Main Is in Their Way— Town Oflicial Indignant—Refuse to Permit Work to Continue. Exhibiting gross carele: Southern New sne the gland Telephone representatives of contracting of Francis T. Ley today aroused the ire of First Select- man Johnson to such an extent that | some difficulty may now be encoun- tered before a second permit to dig up the streets for the purpose of lay- ing conduits for wires radiating from the local exchange is granted. Ig- norance of the location of mains under the pavement on Central Square resulted in the contractor’s digging a trench on the north side of the stroet, the workmen striking the pipe of the Bristol Gas company after they had torn up the pavement for a consider- able distance, and had penetrated s eral feet into the soil. After discovering “the error the company’s representatives got into communication with Selectman John- | son and asked to be allowed to dig another ditch about ten feet south of the first trench. Mr. Johnson was indignant over the carele: s dis- played by the men in charge and he refused to issue a second permit. He explained that the highway commis- sioner may be willing to overlook the error but he is doubtful if the board of selectmen will be satisfied to look | on without complaint while a corpora- tion rips up the pavement at will, seemingly taking no pains to see that company or the firm ne: Weo Wash having | unnecessary damage to the street is not caused. The Telephone company explained to the selectmen a few days ago that it proposed to put its wires in a larger cable than is now in use ,and it would be necessary to have the container re- moved from poles and placed under- ground. They asked for permission to dig a trench from the exchange on West Main street to a puint near the corner of East Main and Whiting streets. Although not anxious to haver the macadam or pavement disturbed, the hoard was willing to make the change sible and the permit was veluctantly granted i Contractor Ley brought a force of | men here this morning to begin the work and by 10 o’clock a trench sev- eral feet long had been dug through the amiesite on Central Square. After the pavement had been badly dam- aged the laborers discovered that the gas main was in its way and it would be necessary to dig a second trench. Selectman Johnson called a halt on the work and explained that a second permit would be withheld until the board could discuss the situation. Personally he would oppose granting the application. He thought the com- pany showed an absolute lack of ap- preciation for the favor shown it when it failed to investigate the location of pipes or otherwise avoid doing un- necessary damage. The contractor’'s men were at a loss to know what course to follow up to noon and they spent some time try- ing to locate the highway commission- er and representatives of the Tele- phone company in the hope that the tangle might be straightened out Marino May Serve Failure of other constables to com- ply with the request of the selectmen for Submitting bids for patrol work may result in continuing Officer Philip Marino as the night policeman, the selectman having tentatively decided to make no change in the ar- rangement now existing But two of the regularly elected constables, Marino and David, sent in bids and the one submitted by the latter was subsequently withdrawn. Officer Marino has been patrolling the street since conditions became such that the presence of a policeman at the center Seemed essential to order, ECONOMY IN BUSINESS The modern way of paying pos by check has been one of the greatest aids to business progress.

Hours 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. and he will continué on the job un- til some other plan is evolved. In an effort o get the voters to as- sume some responsibility as to whay rrangements they favored, the select- men called them together recently and asked thm to register their choice. Other than to instruct the selectmen to have the streets patrolied every night they did nothing towards sol- ving the problem. The board decided tc give the first chance to the local constables and that all might have equal opportuni- ties they asked them to submit figures compensation they would serving as policeman from 7 lock at night until 4 o’clock in the morning, doing the janitor’s work at the town building in addition. The oilicers did not appear to be keen for the appointment, particular- ly becai=e of the belief that too much work would be saddled on them and owing to the uncertainty of any per- | manence to the position. Although they have had over a week in which to make application, giving their bid with the petition, the constables, with the exception of Marino, have ignored the opportunity given them. Con- stable David did forward a bid sev- eral days ago but he withdrew it later. The selectmen are now in a quan- dary as to what procedure to follow but they apparently intend to keep Officer Marino at work for the pres- ent. He gave up his place in the fac- tory to go on patrol duty a few weeks ago and especially in view of the atti- tude of the other constables the opin- jon is held by the board that he should not be removed while he per- forms the duties in satisfactory fash- ion.

A republican victory in Plainville at the recent election cost that party $75.35, according to the expense re- port filed with Town Clerk Usher by N. Elmore Clark, treasurer of the town committee. The items of ex- pense include $383 for auto hire, the balance covering the cost of station- ery. cigars and other incidentals. The state central committee con- tributed $5 towards the campaign, ‘William J. Simpson, successful candi- date for representative, giving $25. Republican expenses this year were light as the town committee figura- tively sat and looked on during the campaign, seemingly making no ef- fort to create enthusiasm for the party or its candidates.
