 Trolley Line Sold
 The sale of the Bristol and Plain vile Electric Go. to the Connecticut Light and Power Co. for a reported price of $S.ooo.o0O has caused much comment here and given rise to speculation. The matter of service and fares most concerns Plainville citizens, and. while 1t is still far too early to expect any announcement of policy. the change Is thought to be a beneficial one. The purchaser has much larger power plant and should be able to provide increased facilities. In fact. 1t is understood that the Bristol company has been buying It's power from the Light company for some time and using Its own plant only in case of emer- gency. The transfer should there fore make for cheaper power.
 The Bristol and Plainville con- cern has long been noted as having the lowest rates of any trolley com pany In the state, hut Plainville has never profted by this because the Bristol-Plainville line is a two-fare line. so that it is cheaper 10 20 from here to New Britain than 10 Bris- toi. As the line was making money. no raise in fare Is expected.
 The Bristol and Plainville Electric Co., also furnished gas to Plainville. but this town already buys Its cleo tric light from the Connecticut Light and Power Co.,. so the trans fer will not affect this. Several To- cal residents are stockholders in the concern. the largest being Governor John H. Trumbull. who is also director.
 Going to Europe
 Mir. and Mrs. Carobino Carafoli will sail for Italy on November 14 to spend one month in their native land. Mr. Carafoli was one of the former owners of the Plainville restaurant. selling out a month ago after having been In the lunch busi- ness here for several years and hav- ing made a fine business reputation for himself. He Is now taking temporary rest from his labors by revisiting the land of his birth. His plans for the future. after he re- l turns from Europe, are not known.
 Claim Lease Violation
 Summary process papers have been served on F. 0. Thompson, proprietor of the Central garage on Whiting street, seeking to evict him from the premises on the ground that he has violated his lease. The property is owned by the Newton estate. A similar suit was instituted a year ago but was won by Thomp- son, who proved that he had kept the terms of the lease.
 Handling Less Freight
 Less freight Is being handled nt the Plainvllle station than once was the case, and further reduction is expected in the future. The New Haven road freight officials are working out system for the hand ling of consignments of less than a carload at New Haven instead of having them transferred here. The change will bring about a further reduction in the working force at the local depot. which already em ploys considerably fewer than 1t did several years ago when Plain. vile was one of the large freight transfer points of the state.
