 Little Fault To Find
 PlalnviIle has little fault 10 find with the disposal of garbage by New Britain, First Selectman William J. Johnson said today. The New Brit ain authorities have been having trouble with' Newington in this re- gard and have expected complaints from other surrounding towns where garbage is occasionally dumped. So far as is known, the only waste mat ter which comes into Plainville from the Hardware City is that which is taken by a hog grower for food. While from time to time complaints have been made to the selectmen about this, the grievance appears 10 be a minor one and has never been pressed.
