 Bowling Notes.
 With the organizing of several bowling teams in the town, there has hnn tll Iatn of bility of securing bowling alley in Plainville. The Trumbull Electric company team, and the Lobster Five, both regarded as fast local teams, usually play their games at Southing- ton or New Britain. This necessitates inconvenience and this could be over come by having an alley built in this town. When the new Neri brothers block was under construction on Gen. tral Square, the brothers thought it advisable to have one of the ground floor stores converted into a bowling alley. This, they planned, would contain six alleys with several pool tables. Plans were drawn up by an architect and it was estimated that should the proposition be carried through, it would involve an expense of some $12,000. Business would, at that time, warrant such a procedure, but when the local. factories were forced to close, due to the sudden slack in the manufacturing industry, the project was dismissed as not be- ing profitable. MT. Neri figured that to have the alleys pay, it would be necessary to have the place constant ly going and league organized in or der to draw the young men to the place. He feels that with the open (, sy. ho ture, this proposition may be carried out with some success. ;,
