Cooperation among merchants in the form of a local chamber of com- merce or co-operative organization will probably not be realized this year. It was the original intention of several local businessmen to take steps towards the formation of a body which would promote local re- tail buginess, the move to take effect before the end of the summer, but scveral reverses have again delayed the scheme. Last year merchants, including a greater part of the Kensington deal- ers, took steps towards the accep- tance of local concerns into the New Britain Chamber of Commerce but the plan died because of a lack of | interest by the larger city's organ- ization and was not heard from until | early this year when the promoters of last year's efort stated that they would resume acivities. Leaders of the movement eclaim that the unusual situation of the re- tail businesses of the town makes the problem difficult and it is prob- able that regulations concerning the closing and opening hours will be changed to fit different localities.. It is believed that Kensington as a whole is in favor of Wednesday afternoon closing while other sec- tions of the town including Worth- ington ridge and Vast Berlin are less entl.uslastic. Cert: stores, such as those which sell both conectionery sup-, plies and groceries are not in favor of the mid-week vacation and claim that the present hours art the only ones suited for their businesses. While it is possible that Kensing- ton may, in the future, form and keep its own regulations regarding closing and opening, it is doubtful whether the other districts will see their way clear to accept the plan this year. Promoters state that only through entire co-operation of the three districts would the plan be feasible as the partial closing of stores would be unfair to those abid- ing by the regulations. Road Work Active The Gammino Construction Co., in charge of the laying of the new highway, today began its employ- ment of many local residents for work on the roads. A large force of laborers has been engaged, most- 1y recruited from local ranks. In- cluded among those who have ac- cepted positions with the Providence concern are Robert Walsh and Ro- land Holmes.

County Y Game The Kensington Congregational church baseball team will meet the Highland Park aggregation on Sat- urday afternoon, July 23.

Interference of the bride’s par- ents was blamed for the separation of James Mayers and his wite, Mary Mayers, by court officials when the woman's non-support action against her husband came up for hearing, and a reconciliation was effected by Justice L. S. Mills and Grand Juror Charles F. Conlon. The couple have been married a year and have one small child. A short while ago they rented a house and furnished it. Then trouble arose and Mayers left his wife and baby. Charging him with failure to sup- port her and the child, Mrs. Mayers had him arrested yesterday noon. At the trial, which was held in the afternoon, Grand Juror Conlon learned upon questioning that May- ers had left because he could not get along with his wife's parents. The prosecutor said that row was “only a little scrap” and recom- mended that Justice L. §. Mills sus- pend judgment upon payment of costs. This was dobe, the costs amounting to $10.2 Justice Mills advised the Mayers to start over azain in their Whiting street home, and they agreed to do this. ams Fence and Pole A warrant was issued last night for the arrest of a man named Sundberg, of Kensington avenue, New Britain, the charge being reck- {less driving.

The impass ex- isted for several ninutes and a number of cars were tied up. Had the fire trucks, an ambulance, or any other car requiring fast speed in an emergency come along, a serious delay might have resulted.
