A special town meeting will be held
In the Town hall this evening to take
action on the purchase of land to be
used for school buildings. The voters
will voice their views on the subject
and will empower, II they see At. the
school board and the board of select
men to purchase enough land suitable
for the present needs.
This is the most vital question per-
tanning to town matters and in the
opinion OF many Of the residents It
will continue to be for some time to
come. The need Of additional school
facilities in Plainville is becoming
greater with each succeeding year
and 1t will be found necessary. they
claim, to give the matter serious
thought within the next few years.
There is no information on what Sec
ton will be chosen for the proposed
sites of the new building.
The voters will probably not take
any action this evening regarding a
high school, but according to present
indications, Plainville will find 1t nec-
essary to build high school in the
near future. According to present re-
ports, both Bristol and New Britain
have already served notice that pupils
from Plainville will no longer be &C.
cepted in the high schools in either
city Many Of the townspeople have
expressed themselves as in favor OF
building high school on the plot OF
land at the corner Of Maple and
Whiting streets. This lot belongs to
the town. Some have stated that
they would rather see the Town hall
built there, but the arguments against
this proposal are that there is greater
need for new high school at the
present time than for a Town hall.
These questions will probably be de-
bated this evening.
Factory Addition
The Peck Spring Co. has exper-
fenced such a large volume of bust
ness the past few months that 1t has
been found necessary to build an adj
dition to the present factory site. D.
x. Peck, one OF the officials of the
factory. stated this morning that the
new building which Is in the course
of construction will be 3ox60 feet and
will increase the production Of the
factory about SO 1-3 per cent. There
will be added to the present equip
ment about "a automatic machines
and number of new employees will
be taken on when the addition is
completed. Mr.. Peck said that bus
mess has been rushing for the past
few weeks and the company has or
ders enough to keep it going for the
next six months. In order to supply
the demand, it has been necessary to
work shifts both day and night.
Another Arrest
The state police yesterday made an
other arrest for an overloaded truck.
The truck in question is the property
Of the A. +. & l.. o. Peck Co. of
Westfield, Mass. The case will be
tried in the town court within the
next few days.
