 Plans for the annual cleanup for Plainville have been started. F. l..
 Benzon has heen named chairman and dates for the campaign will be decided soon. MT. Benzon has con ferred with Selectman William John son on the proposition and as soon as team can be secured to take away the refuse, the drive will be in pro- gress. The town will be divided into two districts as had been the rule in other years. They will be known as the East and West districts. The west side will be that district west of the rail- road crossing on Central Square, while Ire east will be the section beyond
 .-le tracks toward the Trumbu1 dis trict.
 The main object of the camaign this year will be for the purpose of cleaning up in back of the blocks in town. The officials report that condi- tions existing in back of these build ings are worst than ever and an eff fort will be made to have all refuse cleaned away entirely. The Ner1
 block on Central Square has been kept
 
 fair appearance. This cannot be said
 of the others as carelessness and negligence has caused rubbish to be
 heaped up in the back yards.
 MT. Benzon gave notice of the open
 ing of the campaign yesterday. Stress,
 he says, will be laid on the conditions of the blocks. The people will be asked
 to leave all refuse. not including ashes
 place in cases in front of their houses
 md hi ha of f1a pense of the town. About $50 was used for this purpose last year. It is also possible that the Boy Scouts will
 be asked to aid in the campaign, and the school children as well. There are | a great many persons out of employ ment now and plenty of time is found for cleaning. Some have already start
 ed on their own initiative, the cleanup l committee finds.
