The main was in front of the Calor factory and ran into the cellar of the factory building doing damage to some materials and stock stored in the place. The first trolley between Bristol and Plainville | | experienced difficulty in gettir through the water and it looked more like an ocean going liner than a trol- | ley when the crew decided to bhrave the deep expanse in their endeavors | to get the people of the town into Bristol. The cause of the break was | the freezing of the pipes and it took a long time before the right main could | be located and the water shut off. Fuel Situation Discussed. At a meeting of the local War Bu- reau last night at the home of S. S Gwillim of Hough street the question to what could be done to reliev the fuel shortage was discussed -by the members. The fuel situation at present in the town is very acute and unless relief is secured immediately there will be suffering by those who | have no coal on bhand and who are | unable to procure any from the deal- ers. In order to help out the situ- ation as quickly and efficiently as pos- sible a plan was adopted whereby the townspeople would be able to secure wood for heating their homes at a # | very low cost to themselves. Tow Clerk Usher is the owner of a large plot of woodland situated on the Farmington Road on which there enough wood to supply the people ur til relief is at hand. The idea of the War Bureau is to hold a Wood Chop- ping Bee next Monday at the grounds t which all those who are interested in the movement will be set to work g down trees and making fire- ch is to be later sold and delivered to those people throughout the town who are in need of wood. hose who want wood for themselves | tive committee of the Will_ ba- allowed to met it and thes|Cil of the Churches of Christ in Will be allowed to buy the wood they | America.
