OPPOSE CRIMINALS
 ON THE TOWN LOT
Chamber Of Commerce Would
 Make a Park of Plot
SEEKING STORM SEWER

Eastern SectlOn-BuS1neSSm De- feat Temcos-Governor Speaks At Westchester-Store Closing. Carnivals on the town lot at the
 corner of Maple and Whiting street
 were greatly criticised at the Cham
 Der of Commerce meeting last night
 and that body placed itself on record
 as opposed to their being held at
 that location. The matter was dis
 cussed at considerable length and it was revealed that several complaints
 had been entered by some of the
 adjoining and nearby property own
 CTS, and asked the chamber to use its influence to stop local organiza-
 tions from staging such affairs
 there.
 It was said at the meeting that these property owners had real 1 grievances, as they were disturbed
 until late hours by the crowds of people who throng the carnivals and Indulge in strong language and make l themselves nuisances and annoy ances in other ways. The chamber did not censure any organization which has held or is planning to hold q carnival on the property but took its action against the practice Itself.
 The chamber has notified the se- Ilectman of its stand and has recom- mended that the lot be graded, seed ed, and planted with small shrubs to turn it from a useless eyesorc Iinto q small park of beauty.
 Want storm Sewer The chamber also placed itself on Irecord as recommending that the town install storm water sewer in jthe eastern section, where the high land Linden street schools are locat- led. No specific streets were recom- Imondod, as this must be left to an expert, but it was felt that the land here is so low and the water col fleets in such quantities and remains so long that it vas unhealthy for .the schoolchildren in wet weather. Cll ENtOtlllN bdN IL l9 ilflN NlIflllN llAl- possible for the pupils 10 reach these schools without having their feet soaked through. The matter will be brought to the attention of the sc lectmen.
 The Salvation Army drive. which is being conducted with the approval of the chamber. has netted $424 to date, Treasurer A. A. Mcleod re-
 ported. There still remain three factories to he heard from. so that it appears certain that Plainvillc will exceed it's $500 quota.
 Want Permanent Sidewalks
 Chairman S. s. Gwillim of the sidewalk committee reported that the chamber Of sclectmen were cooper ating in the matter of having more permanent sidewalks laid on the local street and that they would soon look over the town and attempt to persuade the individual property owners to put in concrete walks. !. The town will pay 25 per cent of the l cost. He further reported that four |. property owners on the east side of l. Whiting street have agreed to take | action this summer, and it is hoped | that by fall there will be a continu- ous stretch of pavement from the | town lot at Maple street as far ! down Whiting street as Hamlin !. street.

 Business Men Win Thriller
 The Business Men added another baseball victory to their list last night when they turned back the Trumbull Electric team by G-5 in thrilling five inning game at the high school grounds. The crowd was even larger than last week and rooted 1. for one side or the other. Governor Trumbull was among the spectators and proved himself q good baseball fan.
 The Temcos scored three times in the second through cratic fielding on the part of the Business Men, but in the third Bill Cunningham turned them back by striking out their three best batters. They still led by 5-2 when the Business Men came to bat in the fourth. and then terrific hit ting turned the tide and gave the the victory Crampton, who played great all-around game and started several double plays, placed a perfect bunt down the third base line.
