 Notices-Plainville Bowlers Win. Briefs. A bill to provide a town court for Plainville was introduced into the l general assembly yesterday by Representative Robert B. White. This bill was In the form of an in l completed draft, Mir. White being l forced to offer it in this shape, be- cause no bills could be presented 1 after yesterday. Rather than force 1 the town of Plainville to wait two years until the next session of the assembly, Mir White presented the | incomplete bill, the draft of which will be finished before the measure is taken up in committee, which is expected 10 be in about six or eight weeks.
 A town court has long been sought by those interested in legal matters here. No criticism has been levelled at the personnel of the pres- ent justice system, but is it not con- sidered as efficient manner of deal ing out justice as is the town court, where authority is more centralized. Mir. White also offered a bill changing the powers of the town plan commission slightly. At present the statutes require development companies to file maps of their properties with the commission, but no penalty for violation of this is provided. The measure presented yesterday was in the form of an amendment inflicting a penalty and thereby putting teeth In the law.
