To Hold a Special Town Meeting. The selectmen have announced that there will be a special town meeting Thursday, August 23 at 8 o’clock in the town hall. The.purpose of the made at the last meeting in regard to the new bridge to be built over Hart's pond near the American Paper Good's company. The resolutions passed at the last meeting specified that a bridge 14 feet wide be built and that $8,000 be ap- propriated to cover the cost of the same. These plans did not meet with the approval of the state highway commissioner who stated that the bridge would have to be 21 feet in width to comply with the law. 1t will be definitely decided Thurs- day evening what will be donme. In order to make the structure comply with the commands of the highway commissioner an extra large appro- priation will have to be made and a special tax laid. Great difficulty is being encoun- tered by the selectmen in letting a contract at a reasonable price for the building or enlarging of the old abute- ments for the new bridge. This is mostly due to the shortage of labor at the present time. Also there is a divergance of opin- ion as to whether new abutments should be built or the old ones en- larged upon. of the opinion that if the addition is placed onto the old abutment that in a few years time it will settle and the rew and the old concrete will draw away from each other.

Ground Broken for New Plant—aAddi- tion to Be Completed in 74 Work- ing Days—Paralysis Signs Disap- pear—Taken to Asylum. Ground has been broken for a large addition to the Trumbull Electric company’s plant, which when fin- ished, will give the concern 20,000 extra feet of floor space and will per- mit of the relieving to a great ex- tent of the congested conditions un- der which the business is now being operated. The company is in urgent need of more room and it is planned to rush the work on the new addi- tion as rapidly as possible. The general contract for the build- ing, which will be of brick, mill con- struction, has been awarded to the Lewis Miller company of Meriden which agrees to complete it in sev- enty-four working days. The addi- tion will be four stories high and will be a little larger than the first brick building erected for the company's use. Its dimensions will be 100 by 50 feet. President J. H. Trumbull stated this morning that a general extension of the company’s business makes the new addition necessary. The com- pany’s business has been growing by leaps and bounds during the past few vears and although more floor space wag secured not a great while ago the business is now conducted in quarters inadequate for its needs. The company has been expanding steadily through an era of prosperity and is now in splendid condition. Large orders on the books at the present time indicate that business will be exceedingly brisk during ths coming winter and the officers are making elaborate preparations to supply the demand. When the new factory is finished additional help will have to be securea as it is the intention to increase the output of the plant considerably. Paraly: Everetta, s Signs Disappear. the four-year-old daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Donahue of Westwood iark, returned home today from St. Francis hospital in JTartford, where she wai taken Fri- day for observation and treatment The little girl was taken ill Friday and it was at first thought that she might be affected with infantile par- alysis, alhough her case had not at the time developed sufficiently to per- mit of a positive diagnosis, At the hospital the physicians vanced the opinion that the pa of her limbs which indicated the pos- sibility of the presence of the dread disease was probably the result of a spasm from which she had recovered. The little girl today appears to be none the worse for her experience. Taken to Asylum Mrs. William F. Vesinus of East street, was taken to the Connecticut Hospital far Insane at Middletown last evening by Selectman Johnson and Constable Marino.

C., Aug. 20.—All vessels leaving American ports for Eu- rope must conform to new regulations issued last night by Mr. McAdoo, Sec- retary of the Treasury, if their owners wish to insurc them under existing government war insurance rates. The purpose of the new regulations is to “‘minimize the hazard”, in the words of the cflicial statement. Here are the new requirements: “1.—Arming—All vessels must be armed in accordance with the recom- mendation of the Navy Department, or in event of the Navy Department be- ing unable to furnish such armament the vessel owners must furnish to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance satis- factory evidence that such armament has been applied for and cannot at the time be supplied.

The Motano had left New York July | for France, and when she approach- ed the danger zone a British destroy- | er took her under convoy. “On the evening of July 31,” said Mr. Hansen, “the destrover had run a bit ahead of us, probably to ‘feel’ the way. At about 7 o'clock, without any warning at all, a terrific explosion oc- curred aft, right beneath our engine room. Practically the entire after part 'of the vessel was torn away by the ex- plosion, and all those who were on duty or in their quarters below in that | part of the vessel were killed out- | right. “Thére, was no time to lower the lifeboats, and very few of us were even able to grab a liftbelt and jump into the water before the Motano sunk.
