 During the past few weeks, man, new sidewalks have been laid in the center of the town. These add much to the appearance of the town. The town pays quarter of the expenses on all walks laid
 Sidewalks have been laid in front Of the l.. s. Mills residence on East Main street; the Frank A. Hart home also on East Main street; the prem ises of George R. B. Byington, and Charles Stocking, of Crown street Preparations are being made to lay more on Whiting street and several other parts of the town.
 New street lights to the number Of 20 have been installed in sections Of Plainville which were in need of them. The outskirts of Plainville are now fully lighted and practically ev- cry street has two or more poles with lights.
 selectman William J. Johnson was instrumental in introducing the new ruling whereby the town would ex l pend certain amount of money tow ards the laying of walks. The clause vast presented at the last town meet ing when the voters approved it. The town appropriates a sum of tou o~I. provements. That means that total amount of s1,600 worth of walks can be laid every season which would cas- fly pay for good long stretch. The average sidewalk costs about s10o 10 lay, it is said. The lighting system which has been installed, was the result of complaints received from residents in he Southington road district who were practically without street lights. 5electman Johnson looked the streets over and selected locations for the ights Although more than 20 could lave been placed to properly light he streets, the voters ordered that those would be enough this year. Others may be ordered at a later meeting.
 Selectman Johnson has several oth- ar matters under consideration in re- sards to improvements on streets and will try to finish them this summer.

 Like other baseball teams which | have appealed to their enthusiastic | fans for support and advice, the Aces | have asked the public for help, real izing now that something is wrong | with the team. The criticism of the fans has reached the ears of the play ITS and management. The team is down at the bottom of the league the players are in every game to win, their efforts are appar- enty fruitess and every Sunday sees lefeat at the hands of their visitors.
 Manager Neff has done well in bringing good opponents to Plainville. What the fans want, however, is to see the Plainville team win and at the ast game were not slow in. telling he players that much
 The management of the team has therefore appealed to the fans to send n any criticism which may help in turning the tables.
 The letters may be addressed to Plainville Reporter, Plainville post office, and any good ones may be published in hopes of uncoNering the law which apparently holds back the once fast local team. The manage nent of the team will also receive etters but prefers that they be sent 0 the reporter as an impartial re- ,ipient.
