PLAINV|LLE'S TEAM LEADS " LEAGUE
Scores Third Successive One
 Sided Victory in Bristol
SCHOOL CAROL SINGING
Annual Exercises at Broad Street School Tomorr0w-Holiday Mall ing Rush Below Usual Amount Teachers Have Fun.

The Plainville Y. M. c. A. basket ball team took undisputed possession of first llace in the senior County "Y" basketball league last night, winning a sweeping 50-21 victory over the Bristol Congregational church on the latter's home floor while the Southington "" team met it's master in the New Britain South church and dropped its first game of the season. It was the third win in row for the Plainville team, and every one has been by a huge score. In their first start the local players ran up 64 points. in the next they made 44. and last night they again reached the 50 mark. Plainville has had two lean years in basket ball since the days when the "" boys were twice champions of the junior county league, and the return to power is welcome to local sport fol- lowers.
 The game last night was a very one sided affair. With Miller and Caulfield leading a sharp attack, Plainville swept out to a 23-S lead in the first half. In the final periods Coach w. A. Bailey withdrew four regulars from the floor and moved the fifth to a new position. sending in all the substitutes he had avail able. Even then Plainville contin- ued to pile up its total. although Bristol did manage to do a little more scoring against the second team.
 Several of the players on the pres ent team vera members of the old championship quintet. Freddy Miller Doug Martin. and Ray and Cookie Schwab all played on that famous old five. Eddie Geetersloh. Hartford Industrial league star, was an addi- ton last year. while this season the i team has protited by the further addition of Tom Caultield, high school coach; Wilkinson. another high school teacher: Ken Frost, for mer Trade school captain: and Nell son. a new man who is making good. If the team receives proper suppor. it may stage some independent games here later in the season. Last nights summary:

HALF MILLION IN
 BONDS ADVOCATED
Hall FaVoS Issue for Water.
 works Extension

4 bond issue of approximately $soo,oe0 for waterworks extension is favored by Chairman Edward F. Hall of the board Of finance and tax. ation. who will recommend such an amount when the board meets to- morrow night to consider 2 request for approximately &1.25o, 900 to carry out the program.
 Senator Hall does not favor the larger issue because it will not be necessary to use the full amount for many months and the plan proposed by the senator will effect a large saving of interest.
 The work soon to be started will bear on the construction of q filtra- ton plant which will not increase the quantity of output. but will purt- " the service. This is the only in- stallment Of the Hazen plan which does not contemplate either an in- crease in storage or in quantity, but It affords the additional advantage of increasing water pressure through an elevated storage tank.
 Specifications have been prepared for the water department and they will go out for bids when the bond money IS made available.
