 day-seek PIainville Representative ] While nothing of course will be done regarding the erection of the l memorial chapel in West cemetery ! until there is a settlement of the es- tate of Judge Frank s. Neal, in whose will $7,OOO is bequeathed to pay for it there is considerable talk regard ing the plans and there is general belief that the construction of the building will fill a long felt want in the community The need of chapel where services can be conducted at the cemetery, especially when the weather Is unfavorable, has been ap- parent for a long time and 1t has often been discussed by the Pla1nV1lle cemetery association of which Judge Neal was an active member for many years.
 The association's treasury was never in shape, however, to permit of actual consideration of the improvement and the officers made no move towards preparing any plans. Judge Neal frequently suggested the advisability of chapel but with the other heads of the association realized that the prospects of getting the necessary funds were so meager that it was useless to give it serious consideration.
 Tn his will the former probate judge directed that the erection of the chapel be left with officers or the Plainville Trust company, which IS to serve as executor of his estate It IS understood he discussed with some ol them, before his death, the plans TOT the chapel and suggestions Wh1ch ne made regarding the speclhcauons VIII be followed out when the building IS in course of erection.
 The cemetery association will con trol the chapel after it Is completed and ready for use.

 paredness committee of the Business and Improvement association, stated today that Plainville has not as yet produced a candidate for selection as the towns representative at the Feo- eral training camp, where citizens are to be drilled in military manoeuvers from July to August 8. The local association, in common with other bodies favoring national preparedness has offered to pay the expenses of P1ainville member of the junior d. vision for an entire month in order that this town will not be among the missing when the roll is called.
