 Fl. S. Playing This Afternoon.
 The energetic recommendation for
 the establishment of a sewerage sys- item in Plainville which were made
 in the annual report of Dr. George F. Cook, local health officer. have been commended by Sanford H. l Wadhams, director of the state wa ter commission. MT. Wadhams has
 written pr. Cook telling him that he
 is very glad indeed to see the stand i the local official has taken and of-
 fering the assistance and support of the state in any steps which may be possible in procuring a sewage dis posal system.
 The compission has written to the town authorities recommending &C., ton, and 1t is known thAt the state Is on the verge of forcing action if the town does not take 1t of it's own accord. After 1928 no sewage may be emptied into Connecticut rivers, so that the town and even the fac tories must find other methods of disposing of their waste. The town has not appeared fully awake to the need for a complete system of sewers but a campaign has been conducted by the health officer and also by the Chamber of Commerce. The work must be done at some time, and the cost, 1t Is estimated, is increasing by ten per cent each year.
 Action on a surface sewer to drain the storm water from the east ern end of the town will be taken at the annual town meeting Mon day night, an appropriation of s1200 being asked for this purpose. This is only one step, as the town, with the exception of the central business section, is without any sanitary sew CTS. Dr. Cook has suggested that further action be taken Monday night by appointing a committee to begin work on the sewer question. as this will consume a long period Of time. The town is at the limit of It's bond issue, but special issues may be made for sewer and water pur- poses.
 As far as can be learned, the town is without authority in sewer matters this resting with the sewer district, which, while having almost the same lImlts' must call special meetings. This division of authority has been partly responsible for the lack of &C., tion In the past and would be elm- mated, it Is said, if a borough gov ernment could be formed here.
 Home From Hospital.
 Howard Smith, son of MT. md Mrs. Fred c. Smith of East Broad street has returned from the Hart lord General hospital where he had been patient for nine weeks. He was terribly burned in Plainville's worst Fourth Of July accident and two skin grating opera tions at the Hartford institution.
 May Enter League.
 It Is expected that PlainviIle will again have county league basketball this winter. although where the games will be played is still, q oues- ton. A meeting of the Hartford County Y. NJ. C. A. Amateur Ath- letic association will be held in Hartford this evening, and W. A, Bailey, who is district commissioner, | will be present. Plans for the win ter will be made at this time, and leagues are among the 'ertainties. The local "Y" juniors won the county title last winter by going through the season undefeat- ed. Captain Loyal Smith has been lost this year, but the rest of the team Is intact and several good men will fight for the vacant posi- ! Ion. A senior team was also en- tered from here last year but was | by Mapping. which even- .ually won the courty title. 'The old gym behind the Legion rooms being unavailable now, the local boys will probably be forced 1 10 play their early "home" games n Bristol, where they will practise. Later they hope 10 secure the new nigh school floor when that building ! s completed.
