 FOR THIS EVENING

 Cause Closer Building Line

 Legion Auxiliary To Honor Old
 est Niembcr-Gate Broken.
 There will be two public hearings held before the Plainyille town plan commission this evening on the mat ,ter of advancing building lines near the business section of the town. The expansion of this section has brought about the planning of fur ther business blocks beyond the ra- dius of the present structures, but the presence of legal 16foot ve- randa line and 24 foot building line prevents this.
 On Central Square and the inner portions of the streets stretching out from 1t, there is a four foot build ing line, and petitions have been re- ceived by the town plan commission to have this extended. On the north side of East Main street tho four foot line extends as far as the Plainville Trust Co.'S property, and a hearing on the proposed extension of this line from it's present limit 10 the Simon Smith property, ending at 140 east of Neal's court. will be held at o'clock tonight. At S;3O o'clock or immediately after the closing of this, there will be a hearing on the Advancement Of the line on the cast side of Whiting street between Broad and Hamlin streets. This is said to be brought about by the de- sire of the management of Harts bowling alleys to build within the present line.
 The recommended lines in both cases arc shown on section maps dated August o6, 1925, and drawn up by Engineer I. N. McKernsn.
 In Other High Schools
 Forty-eight Plainyilo youths are attending high schools other than 'the local one this term, the number being an exceptionally small one. There are 12 at New Britain High school, compared with 33 last year, and S6 at Bristol high school as against s3 in t924-25. The number at New Britain is the smallest since local pupils began 10 attend there, the decrease in both cities heinz due Ito the establishment of the Plain vile high school,
 No more Plainville pupils are be- ing admitted to either out-of-toUn l institutions. but the present ones are continuing, Last year Flain- vile maintained classes for first year high school pupils, the se"ond year was added this fall, and thus gradually the town will take care of i it's own needs. Tn three years all Plainville high school scholars will 1 be attending the local school.
 No attendance figures are yet available for the schools here, as they opened only this morning and some pupils were not required to at tend until this afternoon.
