 Battle Not Expected.
 It is not expected that Plainville will witness a political battle this fall nor that there will be interest," ing times at the republican caucus which. will Dc held about the third week of this month. William J. Johnson. who has been first se- lectman for the past 15 years, has again announced his intention of running for the office and 1t is not expected that another nominee will be named on the republican ticket at the caucus. Townspeople ap- preciate the work Mr. Johnson has done for Plainville and 1t appears to be the general belief about town that he will again be put in office at the annual election.
 It had been unofficialIy reported that two .Plainville men had con- sidered announcing their candidacy for the berth but withdrew when they learned that MT. Johnson would again seek office. His serv- ice has been quite satisfactory and voters do not deem it advisable to change. Although the annual town meet ing is scheduled for October 6, it will be at the adjourned town meeting on October 13 that the fire- works will fly when the question of the ex-servicemen's tax abatement will be brought up for discussion. Teachers Will Meet. All school teachers, new and old. will meet at the Broad street school | tomorrow afternoon for the pur- pose of discussing plans for the coming fall and winter season. Need of Sewers Felt
 The effect of the storm of the early part of the week has been the cause of further advancing the argument that Plainville is in need of a sewerage system. It is one of the few towns in the state of its size without sewerage facilities and business men are beginning to agree that it will not be long before this modern improvement will be neces- | ouiy loi tuc luluio NeildIS anu growth of the town. If there is a heavy storm the streets suffer often times for 8 period of days because of water which floods the gutters and even extends to the middle of the road because of the lack of . satisfactory drainage system.
 A measure was brought before A town meeting about ten years ago asking for the installation of a sewerage system in Plainville. It was defeated by majority vote. Residents of the town now feel that the installation at that time would have meant an economical saving to the town because of the reasonable price for which the work could have beeh done.
