Tonight plans, will be completed by
the Chamber of Commerce for the
holding Of it's annual outing and
picnic. The committee in charge.
headed by John Lamb, will make re-
ports of the progress of it's work
during the time elapsed since the
last meeting held. Those aiding Mr..
| Lamb are: Fred L. Benzon, Edwin
H. Hills. William L.. Cafferty and
Ralph L. Seymour.
It is probab BILE that the outing will
be held the latter part of this month
| and a date set which will undoubted-
ly suit all members of the chamber
! The exact place and time of the al
| fair will be learned tomorrow and
| tickets and further arrangements will
| be completed after that.
A report will also be heard en- the
| result of the appliance OF proper
| and definite signal for automobilists.
This matter was mentioned at the last
IHS0LlHS 1Ilu IL was u0CIQGQ TO SPEAK
to the motor vehicle commissioner in
| regards to a set form of rules govern
ing signals by drivers. It appears
that the signals at present are not
definite and when an autoist holds out
his hand it does not signify whether
or not he is to stop or turn a cor
ner. The matter was therefore taken
up with Motor Commissioner r. B.
Stocked who approved of the plan
and promised his hearty cooperation.
A committee will be selected to ar
range for Mr.. Stoeckel to attend 2
meeting of the chamber and the plans
threshed out then. 1t is an excellent
plan and will probably turn out that
Plainville has taken the initiative to
form signals which may be used
broadcast throughout the entire state.
The trolley situation has improved
considerable since the Chamber of
| Commerce has approached the trolley
officials in regards to several small
| improvements about the center. The
matter of having the trolley cars stop
near the watering trough was re-
ceived spendid1y and this does away
with the congestion of traffic in the
direct center of the town which oc-
Cured when the cars stopped in front
l d NcI1 S DlOCh. ALOLn0I matter Which
| will be referred to the trolley COM
pany will be carefulness of the mo-
tormen and conductors. The other
| day a prominent citizen was driving
past the center in his automobile and
without any warning whatever, such
as the ringing of the bell or signal,
| the trolley cars pulled out from the
lstopping place and caused near
smash-up. Many small items such as
this will be discussed as they will aid
materially in safeguarding the pedes-
| TRANS while crossing at this point.
School Improvements.
The old school building will be
painted soon and various other repairs
which are necessary, will be made
The school committee held it's regu-
lar meeting last night and made plans
| for this work. The building will be
finished before the opening of the
term in September. Bids will be re-
ceived from any local painting con-
tractor and may be sent to Mr.. Os-
borne of the school committee.
Another important Improvement
Twill be the installation of standpipes
in the building. These will be placed
one on each floor and lengths of hose
will be connected thereon for the use
in case of fire. The hose will be
Icapable of reaching to the farthest
room on that floor and will safeguard
the old building greatly. The teach
ers' contracts were discussed and this
matter is being settled with satisfac-
ltion. 1t is not believed that there
will be any difficulty experienced in
securing teachers for the force this
term.
Wildcat Dies
hugh wildcat, owned by a carni-
val which pulled into town Monday
morning died at the railroad station
yesterday. The cat was one of the fea-
lures of the carnival and the owners
will feel its loss keenly. AS yet, there
has not been any performance here
although the carnival was to have
shown this week Selectman Calor
gave the company a permit to pitch
a tent but later it was referred to
Selectman William Johnson He has
not been approached ON the matter.
A. tent has been erected at Meals
court where some of the show men
spend the night. s..
