 Baptist Church-Y Has Game. The resignations of John E. Lamb as republican registrar of voters and of Charles D. Orsie as constable have been submitted to the board of selectmen and accepted by them, it was announced today. MT. Lamb in his letter to the selectmen asked that his resignation take effect on Jan- uary l, 1927, when the new term to which he was recently elected is to begin and when the democratic re- gistrar will take office. In his let ter. MT. Lamb gave no reason for his action. but he stated today that he has not the time to give to the office. every minute which he can give to the town is fully occupied by the duties of chairman of the town plan commission. which post he also holds. The town thus loses one of the men who has given most un- isttintingly of his time in it's service.
 Mir. Lamb has been registrar for two years. succeeding Joseph N. Mo Herman when the latter resigned. No successor has yet been named. and some doubt appears to exist as to whether the proper procedure IS for the new registrar 10 be appointed by the selectmen or by the republican town committe. MT. Lamb has on hand a fair-sized list of names of prospective voters and will turn this. together with the names of the pres ent electors. over to his successor. whoever this may be.
 Orsic Resigns
 Charles D. Orsie, elected constable at the town election two months ago, has submitted his resignation from that position, and this has been ac cepted by the selectmen, to take ef- feet today. In his letter. Mir. Orsic states, T find that the position in terfercs with my regular occupation to a greater extent than I expected when I accepted the office
 First Selectman John J. Kimmel said today that it was unlikely an- other constable would be appointed for some time as it was not felt this would be necessary during the winter months. During his two months of service, Constable Orsie was employed considerably for traf- fic duty.
 BuiIdin. Code Discussed
 The matter of building inspec- tor for Plainville was discussed last night at the meeting of the town plan commission and the code pro- posed ny the Chamber of Commerce and submitted to the commission was looked over carefully in all It's details. The code contains many details and specifications which the commission felt would require fur ther investigation. and more time will be taken to look into these. On several of the points the members did not feel expert enough to pass, and it was decided to find out what those most affected by the code would think of it. It was therefore decided to send copies to the con- tractors, plumbers, carpenters, and electricians for their opinions, as well as to the selectmen. fire com missioners. and voters. and to hold q hearing at the next meeting of the commission. At that time the local men engaged in the lines affected by the projected regulations would be given an opportunity 10 present their views.
 The code as suggested by the chamber would give the town plan commission power over all building jobs costing over s10o. New struc- lures or repairs amounting to this sum would have to be taken up with the commission, plans and specified tions being submitted for approval and left on file. This would include building, plumbing and wiring op- crations.
 A building inspector would be ap- pointed to watch the progress Of building and see that everything NdS uOilS dctol tIllS lu llC upPl ONNh specifications.
