A committee of three, consisting of John E. Lamb, Stanley s. Gwillim, and George A. Case, was appointed by President Henry Trumbull of the Chamber of Commerce last night to investigate the desirability of having town court in Plainville. A bill, in the form of an incomplete draft, has already been submitted to the general assembly by Representative Robert B. White to provide such a court, this action being to get such a bill filed in time and permit the establishment of 8 court if the townspeople desired. The opinion of the chamber in the matter was asked by MT. White, and the committee named last night will look into the proposal and report back before the chamber expresses itself.
 William Wilbur, chairman of the committee dealing with the boost Plafnville" sign, reported that pre- liminary bids for placing such a sign on the side of the new Sequa.- sen corporation building have been found favorable. The old shack on railroad property next to the build ing will be removed. The owner, Bert Bacon. has accepted an offer from the corporation and will take the shanty away. This will leave the face Of the new structure clear and allow an unobstructed view of a sign if placed there.
 Chairman Burton H. Phelps of the building code committee said that he would make a final report In one or two months. There has been some debate on licenses for the building trades. A committee to arrange for the annual banquet Of the chamber was appointed. It consists of Ralph L. Seymour, James F. Usher, Ed ward P. Prior, Joseph Mccarthy, and P, A. Lyman.
