 Many important matters were discussed at the February meeting ot the Plainyillc Chamber of Con- merce held last evening at the
 chamber rooms on Pierce street. F. ' l.. Benzon, chairman of the sewer
 and sidewalk committee, reported
 that there was d great need ot side
 walks on Broad street. especially
 between Whiting and East streets.
 Due to the winter season, the com
 mttce is unable to progress very far on the matter at present but tt intends to push the proposition to the limit with the coming of spring. Due to the lack Of sidewalks on the street, school children find trav- 1 cling conditions very bad during the | winter. The chamber committee IS very much in favor of the laying or ! walks because it will keep the chill i dren off the road and protect them l from automobiles.
 In regard 10 sewers, the commit : tee dealing with this matter report h Led that Investigations arc still being | made. No definite report was made,
 the committee stating that lttl Y progress had been accomplished. few weeks ago the chamber cou,- | mittcc held a conference with state | officials in Hartford and obtained much valuable information and ad vice.

The mGetir he proved 10 be very disappointing b, is cause Of the small attendance. b, 1c a second one vas called and "; Ie. largely attended. Great interest wS at displayed in th2 proposed cNhb is and the chamber was encouraged { by continue it's plans for the affair. F.
