 Baseball Team This Year. The committee members of tho | Plain,ille Sanitary and Sewer district | will hold special meeting in the i Town hall tonight, The meeting has been called for the purpose of going over the proposed plans for sewer, age system in the town Plans for this project were drawn up some ycars ago by an experienced engineer wher the residents Of the town were con. sidering the matter of having a sewer l The proposition at that time fel through much 10 the disappointment of many Of the people who today fec the loss keery.
 The committee will probably take up the matter of broaehing the sub 1 feet to the voters of plainvllc agair and see if a sewer cannot he installed It appears that this is q splendid time for such work inasmuch as labor can be hired at cheaper price than years ago and the price of pipe and materia1 has been somewhat reduced, it is argued, There are two plans of sew age disposal which would be con sidered by the town. One would be that of system which would lead to beds in the northern part of the town and another which would carry to- wards Southington into that towns beds.
 The best plan under considerat ion il is believed was that of having beds in the northern part of plainNille Should the sewer he directed towards SouthinEton. it would be necessary to have a special bill passed by the Leg islature for that purpose and then it is not believed that the plan is fav- ored by Southington residents.
 Just what procedure can be fol- lowed will be threshed out by th,, committee tonight and an investiga- tion will be made as to how the town stands at present and if it is a fav- orablc pan to set the matter before the voters
