WANT DAY OFFICER FOR STEADY DUTY SeleCtmen Believe One Would Be 1 Of Benefit to Town QUARANTINE WITH TEETH
State Authorities Put Ban On Dogs and Will See That It Is Enforced New Britain Pawnecs Here To- morrow-Church NotCcs-Briefs.

| A day patrolman to do regular duty about the center and be avail able for answering calls during the
 daylight hours is desired by the se- lectnen, who feel that such an off cer would be of great benefit to the
 town and intend to incorporate a
 proposal for one when they go be-
 fore the finance board In connection with next years budget.
 At present Plainvile has 0 night patroman, who goes on duty at 9 D. m, and works until the early hours Of the morning. From then until the next evenine-through the busist hours of the day-there is no regular man available, and if an ac- d cident occurs or a complaint is made 1 it is necessary 10 call members of the constahulary from their places of employment. At times it is al | most impossible to reach a member Of the force, while persons other ! than those familiar with the move
 mcnts of the constables are always A at a loss as to where they can ob- tain police aid. Out-of-town motor , ists figuring in accidents here do not | know where to report their miSha ps
 adn valuable time is lost in cases O / theft or auto drivers who attempt tt
 ovade responsibility. With q da, : officer always on hand, a ccntra
 station could be established as a
 night, and there would be much les
 confusion and wasted time, the SC
 lcctmen believe.
 The day patrolman would also b
 charged with seeing that the nuCl V louted no parking ordinances woul V be observed. Thse are laughed a . now and autos are parked almos f continuously under the very sign
 which forbid it, but there is no off
 cer available to do anything abou
 it.
 u Traffic Officer David Kaufman K employed as a special officer to q " traffic duty at Broad and Whitin 'S streets during the hours when tn
 school children are passing that dan
 gerous corner. The day "cop' coul I'll do this as q part of his regular du' r. ics, the selectmen say, effecting ol saving in this regard.
 $. Judge Bernard r. Gaffney ( CT New Britain, town attorney has tol e. the seleCtmen that Plainville It backward in such matters as til W and that progressive towns in u m state are taking up these improv f'- ments. The employment of d; he officer would not be a great eNpen: lc- and would not increase the tax ra he by even & fraction. it Is said. + to could go on duty in the middle a. the forenoon and off shortly bcfo
 the night officer came on. Wheth'
 the present board of sclectmen ow able to use such an officer or nc 'al the members hope that they can ar least secure one for their succc pol sors.
