The international crisis and the formation of the Plainville unit of the Home Guards, and incidental happenings, served to keep attention ‘elsewhere and ‘the meeting proved, to be but littla more than the formality of an annual session made necessary by_the by-laws. Reports of the officers concerning the activities of thie year were pre- sented and accepted. The commit- tee has been passive since the last annual meeting, the members having reached the conclusion that the time was not ripe during-that period’ for bringing the sewer improvement again to the attention of the voters. Last. pight’s session failed to in- dicate that arly move in that direction ik to be made in iramediate future. None of those in attendance seemed inclined to take the initiative and the business transacted was entirely of a routine character. F. T. Wheeler, C. H. Calor and J. T. McCarthy were chosen to sukceec themselvés as the district committee before adjournment was taken. There were but few present at the session. Hartford Menx Arrested. James Randall and George Wright, both of Hartford, left their homes yesterday to seek work in the Bristol Brass mill. They lingered too long over the flowing bowl in various places in which they stopped while enroute, however, and when they reached Plainville they were “‘under the weather.” They ‘spent some time around the_center begging nickels and | were finall} ordered out of town by Ccnstable Marino. Conductors on trolley cars refused to permit them to ride on account of their condition and they attempted to walk.to East Bristol.. They: created a disturpance in front of the home of John W. Matthews.and on his com- plaint Officer Marino took them into custody. They will be tried late to- day. May Need $19,000. Although the school committee has not been advised as to *what figure will be quoted by contractors on the plans for the addltlo?, to the Broad street schoolhouse as‘made_ by the architects, it is probable at they will ask the voters at the’ special town mrieeting next.

Name Gwillim and Duffy. The Home Guard recruiting com- mittee, it was understood today, has practically decided to recommend 8. S. Gwillim and Peter Duffy for ap- ppointment by the state commission as lieutenants of the Plainville unit and it is probable that they will be named. The selections are expected to meet with general approval. Although lacking in. extensive military experi- ence, Mr, Gwillim is an active worker and will no doubt make up in energy .and perseverance what he lacks in taictical knowledge. Mr. Duffy. knows thée mijlitary game from every angle {and he wiit make a valuablé member of mu Trumbuil's staff.
