At the October meeting of the IldlnVllle Chamber of Commerce. held last evening at the chamber rooms on Pierce street, President Leon C. Staples gave an outline of the program on which the organiza- ton will work during the winter months. The meeting was lareaIv attended and enthusiasm was ey- pressed by the members on MT staples program. Special attention was paid to three important matters that are of vital interest to the resi- dents of the town.
 The chamber voted to prepare a resolution to be presented to the board of sclcctnen asking that q zohlnG commission be formed at some future town meeting. The or eahlzatlon has been working on the zonnS question for long time and mas prepared a complete map of the town. It will not be possible to pre- sent the matter before the voters of the town at the annual town meet lh%' but the chamber is desirous of haFlnS the seleCtmcn call a special meeting. This matter is of real i'm portance to the town and is expect ed to meet with the favor of the voters
 At the annual town meeting, the voters will be asked 10 vote on q question determining whether or not the town shall pay one-half the cost | n nr1G .rt~,1t i,,yr chamber went on record as being in favor of the town paying 50 per cent l of the cost.
 The matter Of placing safety de- vices at the necessary points on the new highway on East street was dis cussed by the chamber at length, Although no definite plans or agree mentS were made by the organiza- tlon, the members were strongly in favor of having the town provide a motorcycle officer to patrol the road.
 With the passing of each day. the East street problem becomes more acute. It is the chief topic of dis cussion daily and various suggestions have been offered as a solution to the traffic problem. Many are of the opinion that lights should be install led at the various intersections on the road including Blossoms corner. Prosecutor Charles F. Conlon of the local town court. like the members of the chamber, is greatly in favor of having the road patrolled by q motorcycle officer. The prosecutor stated some time ago that he be- lioyes that motorists will pay little attention to traffic lights if they know that no policemen are on duty in the vicinity.
 The new highway is proving pop ular with motorists and a heavy line of traffic passes over it day and night and especially during week ends. The town is faced with the problem of bringing to an, end the speed conditions that exist on the road at the present time, There are numerous bad intersections together with the Plainville High school that neCessitate action along this line.
 The soloctman are working hard on the matter and at the present time are devoting their attention to the East street railroad crossing. Special Officer John F. Conlon is on duty daily during the school hours 10 protect children while on the way to and from school.
 The various committees of the chamber read their reports last evening. Other matters of routine business were discussed.
