R. Banquet and | i Reception—News at the Town| Clerk's Office—Hubbard Funeral Today—Other ll,cn’Ls of Interest. The designer of the soldiers’ mon- ument, William F. Brooks of New Britain, was instructed to draw plans for a bronze tablet, at a meeting of the Honor Roll committee held last| evening at the home of Dr. T. C.| JHodgson. | If plans for the tablet are nccopt-; able, the honor roll which-stands in front of the town hall will be torn down and the bronze tablet with the | names of those who served during the war placed near monument at the corner of Ifarmington avenue and Berlin street. The present honor roll has caused | considerable gcomment about the town and the step of the committee has| been heartily comriended: It was not known whether the comsmittee would vote to have a tablet crectedi or whether it would decide to have the old roll repaired. It is the opin-/ jon of several prominent residents! that the move made was the most practical, as the tablet will last' for many years, while if the honor roll| was repaired it would be in need of more repairs soon and would cost! more in the end than a memorial of | the kind chosen. Names Wanted, | W. R. Moore will receive names of all men or women who served during the war whose names are not on the present honor roll. All people of the| town who know of such persons are | requested to communicate with Mr. Moore at once. The members of the Honor Roll committee were selected at the town meeting last fall. The members are Dr. T. C. Hodgson, chairman; Thomas W. Emerson, Ernest W. Mildrum, James McPherson, Harry McKeon and ‘W. R. Moore. Coal 1Is Here!
