cials that County Sheriff Edward l.. Dewey should appoint a deputy for Plainville to succeed William C. Hart dropped at the expiration of his term last May.
 Since the town decided to do with out a regular policeman, the need of a sheriff has ben emphasized and 1t is probable that in the near future steps will be taken to have an ap- pointment made First Selectman Johnson is among those who realize the advantages of having a deputy sheriff here. He believes the town should have an officer who can be located easily during the daytime Most of the constables are employed in factories and the selectman thinks that Sheriff Dewey should name man whose work is of a character that would permit him to quick re- sponse to any demand that might be made for his services.
 That there was but little justif1ca- tion, if any, in the removal of Deputy Sheriff Hart is generally conceded. In fact that big vote given him as candidate for selectman was re- garded by many as a protest against the action of MT. Dewey. Republi- can leaders will probably get together soon to consider the matter of en- dorsing someone for the place and an appointment by the first of the year will occasion no surprise.
