Answers Criticism,
| First Selectman James Simpson
returned last night from hunting
trip in Massachusetts. answered the
criticism expressed in the news
| papers by officials of the Plainville
! Chamber of Commerce relative to
tic laxity of the town officials in the
enforcement of the parking regula-
tons.
| Some time ago, the first select
man explains. Il number of no
parking signs about the center were
broken. Immediately steps were
taken 10 have these replaced. The
signs at the present time are being
printed and they will Be put in place
a" soon as they are delivered. The
absence Of these markers, the first
sclectman believes, have led TO a
number Of the infractions Of the reg
ulations by autosts who were NOT
aware of the regulations which hold
in Plainvilc. He expects that the
conditions will be corrected as soon
as the signs are put in place.
Chamber is Criticized
In commenting on the proposed
action of the Chamber of Commerce
at its meeting tonight, prominent
merchant in town took a turn in
crticizing the local chamber. He
stated that instead of bothering with
details such an infractions of park
ing regulations which is the work of
the town officials. the members of
the chamber should turn their eyes
towards the establishment and
fostering of a community spirit.
He stated that there has been
much criticism Of the Chamber of
Commerce solely because the
chamber has not been functioning
as it should. He pointed out that
one of the leading manufacturing
concerns of the town had considera-
BILE painting to be done but 1t has
hired outside help to do it instead
of giving a Plainville businessman
the work. He cited another in
stance where another sidewalk lay
ing job had been given to an outside
iconcern while there were plenty of
such concerns in Plainville.
He said that he didn't wonder
that many of the store keepers and
other businessmen in the town re-
fused to join the chamber when the
leaders in that body gave their
patronage outside. He was of the
opinion that the organization should
turn its eyes inside first before criti-
cising outsiders for something that Is
no business of the chamber.
