Sewerage System Is Felt.
 Because members of the Chamber of Commerce at meeting held last might decided not to hold an outing this year, there has been great deal of discussion by merchants and other citizens today against the de- cision of the chamber. Until two years ago the outings were more or less of an annual event with the chamber. Last year plans were completed for the outing but after large number of tickets had been sold, the affair was suddenly called off. It is the consensus of opinion among many that several of the chamber members who are employ ed in local faceories have enjoyed outings of these concerns and don't feel that 1t is essential for the cham Der to hold an outing. t At the meeting last night, which was not well attended, several mem- bers voiced their opinions in regard to the outing and the majority felt that none should be held this year One of the prominent members of the chamber is alleged to have stated that it is a difficult problem to furnish transportation to these outings and that the whole affair seemed to be a question of those at. tending receiving free automobile rides to the shore. From what could be learned today there were severa chamber members present who dc not own automobiles and who would not give vent to their thought. after the above remark was alleged to have been made. According to g merchant who was present the mem. Der who is alleged to have uttered the above remark but recently pur- chased an automobile and in other years had been dependent upon friends to take him to the place of the outing.
 The matter has been taken ser iously by many members and several who did not attend last nights ses- sion stated today that they would endeavor to ascertain the truth in reports which have been heard about the outing affair.
 The regular monthly meetings ot the chamber, at which time speak CTS will be heard, will begin in Oc. tober. The chamber inaugurated the plan of having speakers at the meetings last season and it met with great success. A committee is en. deavoring to secure 8 we'll known state figure to address the first meeting.
 The chamber also voted to assist in any way possible the local De- fense Day in Plainville on Septem- Der 12. The Brock Barnes post of the American Legion has also vol unteered.to assist the committee and it is rumored that an effort will be made to secure the Community thea ter in which exercises will be held.
