 Town Plans Commission. There has been some misunder standing among the voters in the town in regards to the Town Plans commission which will be voted upon at the election Monday. At present the commission is composed of three men, namely: Charles H. Newton, Acquilla H. CondeH and Fred L. Benzon. However, when the legisla= ture passed a special commission for Plainville to have this board in 1917, it also passed a law that eath town have a Town Plans commission com lDosed of six men instead of but three. The difference in these laws is that the people vote on who is to serve on the new commission instead of their being appointed by the select man as is now done. The new com mission, if passed upon by the voters Monday, will not conflict with the work of the present board but will follow in the same line, starting where they left off. This will not cause any confusion nor will the new commission conflict with the duties of the selectman.
