With the establishment of the new judiciary system here and the steady growth in population, the need for a day officer in Plainville Is growing more and more necessary every day and the matter has come to point where something definite should be done as soon as possible to make some arrangements for the proper policing of the town during the day. according to Constable ! George Schubert. night patroman. One of the most important reasons why a day officer should be appoint ed is the new town court. Matters l arise in court that require action by constable and the work falls on the shoulders of the night guardian of the peace.
 i Due to the lack of a day officer. l Constable Schubert is forced to work on long shifts and has been known | to work for 20 hours at a stretch without sleeping. Time after time the night constable is forced to con- tinue on with his duties after day break and to work to all hours of the day because of matters that re- quire immediate attention and which he is responsible for on account of the lack of day officer.
 In the courts about the state, of fcers and constables making arrest at night must apcar in court to tes- tify in the morning, but outside of this are not forced to work after the hour of their beat ends.
 Constable Schubert is kept busy or many days Investigating accidents reports of robberies, and other mat. ters. When it is considered that the constable is on duty al night. in al kinds of weather. it can be readily seen that it is not fair to ask him tt spend half of the time which h, should devote tos sleep Investigating various matters or doing other cour business.
 Constable Schubert is greatly ad. mired by the officials and resident. of the town for his faithfulness anc energy in carrying out his duties However It is probable that the pub lie as whole has never realized tha' the officer is practically working 2 hours day.
 If a day officer is appointed, h. can be given number of duties tt perform. All court orders could b. taken care of by him as well as in vcstigations. the directing of traffic and the bringing of prisoners to th Hartford jail A day officer coul' also be appointed to act as a proba ton officer, a position which doe not exist in the town at the presen time.
 Anything of importance that de mands police action generally hap pens at night ard it is very seldom that the night officer really passes al evening without his services bcin! needed for one thing or the other In most cases he must continue hi investig cations during the day if tn law is to be satisfied.
 Constable Schubert has never ap pealod for aid and has pcrforme' his duties uncomplainingly but tn town is growing to a size where DO lice protection during the day is be coming necessary.
