 Counterfeit Bills Here Counterfeit bills of $2O denomlna- tions have made their appearance in Plainville and merchants have been ln t1I, 10 These commercials have been dis covered in New Britain and other cities as well as Plainvlle. A. A. Macleod, treasurer Of the Plainvillc Trust Co, states that the bills arc excellent limitations of the original. Only by close examination can they be detected, he says,
 Federal men were called to inyes- tigate the case here as is the usual custom when counterfeit bills are To- cated in a bank. Several of the bills made their appearance in the local bank. The federal inspector had with him nearly 20 bills that had been reported during the past few days.
 Mr. Macleod stated that the bills were new and were drawn on a New York bank. The imitation is one of the best that has been noticed here abouts. By careful investigation, it may be seen that the paper used in making them is coarse and that the printing is slightly blurred.
