Suit for S10,0o0 Against Plainville Dropped in Superior Court Through Dcmurrcr-nIiss ZiCk- wolfe ShOWcrpd-(hurCL Notices

Announcement was made in Plain1ille today that the town has reached the limit Of it's borrowing capacity on the grand list.
 lf John !. Kimmel, republican nominee for first selectman. is elected this fall he will face situa- uons which are bound to tax his ability. His first problem will he that Plainvillc has reached the end of its borrowing power, five per cent of the grand list having been borrowed to construct the high school this year and to complete the construction Of the new Linden school 9 few years ago.
 How the town will be able to handle some of the needed i'm proNements without the aid Of borrowed money and without hay ing 10 increase taxes will be a problem that will have to be solved by superman.
 An Improvement that must ho made, in the opinion Of several citizens who spoke about the mat ter yesterday, is the establishment Of sewer system immediately. This has been a problem for years and has been the subject Of much criticism in the past few years. Matters have come to point where something must be done.
 Schools are overcrovded and all thought the new high school will relieve the situation it will only be temporary Within two years tho need for another school will be great, it is expected.
 The water system will have 10 be renovated. In the past few years there have heen several breaks in the principal water main because the present system has not been changed in many years It started to show the result of wear.
 Roads are in a disgraceful con dltion. North and South Washing ion streets and East street are al most impossible. The latter street If paved would take q great deal of traffic out of the center Of Plain- vile. it is believed. because traffic that comes over tho Farmington road from Hartford and traffic from New Britain which is bound to- ward Southington and Meriden could take this road If it were in any kind of shape.
 Broad street, an important thor oughfare. is pocket street or blind alley so that autoists going to Bristol have to cut 10 West Main street. A continuation of Broad street would make that an important artery and would cut down on the amount Of traffic go- Ing to Bristol on West Main street.
 At the election on October 4. an active campaign to put PlainviIle back on its feet financially will be started when vote will be taken for the establishment Of finance board. Stanley S. Gwillim is spon- sor of the movement.
 A finance board would regulate tn" expenditure Of money and would appropriate the money re- cHlved from taxes in a business like way. This body would have 10 be consulted on all matters ot f. nance and would study the need Of every item on the budget before 1t appropriates money.
 Claim Is Dismissed
 The claim of Edward Riccio of Bristol, administrator of the estate of Rose Menone of Plainville. for SlO.OOO damages against the town of Plainville was ruled out on de- by Judge Nickerson of the superior court yesterday. because the administrator had not filed his claim with the statutory period of co days.
 The deceased woman was riding with Peter Menone in Plainville August II. 1925. when his car col lided with a tree on Pine street, fatally injuring her. The adminis frator alleged that the town was derelict in its duty in permitting the | tree to be in the highway. Council | for the administrator maintained 1 the tree was a nuisance. Towns . could be sued only under the statute. 1 the judge held. |
 Donald Gaffney of New Britain i raised the demurrer and vYs op- posed by the law firm of Spellacy, | Berman X Wholeer.
