 Many People Complain
 Scores of complaints have been heard in the past few weeks in regard to the practice of turning out the lights at the station al 12 o'clock. Since the night ''truck' operator at the station was taken off the station has been locked at 12 o'clock and the Iio.J,t ,,Io the walk down to Central Square have been turned out at the same time. Local nighthawks who return on the midnight "dinky'' from Hartford and New Britain find the lights out when they alight from the train and many of them have complained that they are receiving some of life's hard knocks by pumping into the pillars on the platform. As a matter of fact there is a possibility of serious in- jury to patrons of the railroad who return to PIainVille on the midnight train and they are unanimous in their opinion that the lights should be left burning until the train left the station.
