1nlnS-Eiic Department to Elect OGiccrs-Durbar Gets Jail Scn- tcncc.
 At the December meeting of the Plainyille Chamber of Commerce. held last evening at the chamber rooms on Pierce street, the mcr- chants committee presented a rcso- luton requesting that all itincrant cording to the general statutes Of the state. At the present tIlc there is no law in Plainvile requiring peddlers 10 have licenses
 The resolution was drawn up as the result of protests made by mer- chants ill the center of the town against peddlers who are allowed to conduct their business without SC curing licenses. Under the rcsolu- tion, license for a peddler would cost s1o. The pedders would be forced 10 have license plates placed pf pi'AIiI'lAlS cIl AIttII NtIltltS anu would also have badges to show the nature of their work. Failure to comply with the law would result in q penalty of s1O.
 Practically all of the cities in the state and many towns require ped dlers to be licensed. There are state laws concerning peddlers and it is the wish of the merchants com- mittee to have these statutes adopt ed here. The chamber went on rec ord as being in favor of the pro- 1 posed law and will ask to have the matter brought Up at some future town meeting.
 President Leon C. Staples pre- sided over fast nights meeting. Out side of the resolution concerning the peddlers. only matters of routine l business were discussed.
 If the peddlers' law is adopted here, it will not prove to be of much value unless there is day policeman appointed to keep watch and check up on the peddlers, it is said by residents. At the present time there arc a large number oi people in town who arc Of the opin- ion that a permanent day officer should be appointed here. Constable George Schubert, night patrolman, 1 is often forced to work during the day checking up various cases and Investigating accidents.
