Town Display Booklet
Facts and plans regarding the
town display project Of the cham
Der OF commerce are contained in
the booklets sent out to all the vot
ers Of the town. 1t is said that
various locations for the proposed
towers were discussed but the ideal
spot seemed to be that now occu-
pied by the soldiers monument.
Naturally, the booklet says. "be-
fore anything can he done the ques-
ton OF moving the monument and
the availability Of the plot must be
settled. A good many years ago per-
mission was given to the town by
the railroad TO erect a monument on
this plot. and it is safe to assume
that they would be perfectly willing
to transfer the privilege to a dis
play II the monument were re-
moved. A part of the plot also Is
leased to the W. c. T. L. for the
drinking fountain. The erection of
this display would not necessarily
interfere with the drinking fountain
at all.
1T appears that the town lot. now
kept up by the American Legion
and where We ultimately hope to
have town hall, Is the natural
place for our soldiers monument.
Some day we may have another
monument to line up with this one
in honor of those who served in the
World war. The cannon, soldiers
monument. and distinctly town
memorials may best be conferred in
and around the town hall We hope
to have in the future. The board
Of selectmen have been consulted
and are pleased to consent to the
moving Of the monument il 1t seems
to be the consensus OF opinion that
it might best be moved"
The proposed display Is which,
ever of the two models already ex-
hibited meets with the approval of
the townspeople. At night this
would be brilliantly lighted with a
total OF 5000 kilowatts and a large
1900 watt lamp at the top to il
Illuminate the whole center. A mot
to such as 1.-THE sun does not shine
on a better place" would be in
corporated into the tower, and the
whole thing would be designed to
bring out the virtues OF Plainville
to residents. visitors and passers-
through alike.
1t has been suggested that the
motto be changed each year, with
one suggested above as possible
first year legend. Each year a prize
might be offered to the high school
pupil who suggests the best motto
for the current year. the booklet
suggests.
That the reaction to the project
is favorable. the committee plans to
arrange house Ito house canvass
soliciting some money from every
resident. no matter how small the
amount be. as 1t is believed that
money raised in this manner would
give the townspeople a more per-
sonal interest in the monument. The
estimated cost is placed at 81,
for erection OF the less heavy dis
play and S4oo for a years main
tenance, with $500 needed for NOV
ing the soldiers monument
A auestionnaire accompanies each
booklet. These ask IL the town dis
play project is approved in a gener-
al way: IL the models already shown
are favored and. If so, which one:
II the moving OF the monument TO
the town plot Is favored; and if
there are any suggestions which the
voter can offer.
