According to a census taken by the Plainville Chamber of Con- merce committee in charge of tn, Wednesday afternoon closing of stores, practically all of the mer- chants in town are in favor of start ing the summer schedule of closing this year in July instead of in June. as has been the custom in other years. The matter was discussed at the June meeting of the chamber and the committee was given the
 power to interview the merchants and find out their ideas concerning closing in June.
 Many of the merchants stated that June is busy month due to school
 graduation, etc. and they feel that the weather Is not Lot enough to warrant closing on Wednesday after
 Eoons. Also. other cities and towns do not begin their summer schedules
 until July. and local merchants see
 no reason why they should not fol-
 low along in line with other cities. Only a few Of the stores in town
 closed las! Wednesday afternoon. the
 first Wednesday of June. Since the census Of opinion Is in
 favor of July closing. the Chamber
 of Commerce will take no further
 action and will consider July and
 August as the months adopted for Wednesday afternoon closing. Court SeSsiOn l Charged with breach of the peace
