 Want Action Soon
 Members of the Plainville Graded School association are desirous of having the town take over the maintenance Of the summer play ground at the Broad street school and hope 10 sec an appropriation made for the playground in the coming years budget. It is believed that $500 would be sufficient to take care of the expenses of the play ground.
 At a special town meeting held early in the year at the high school. a petition was read asking that the playground be taken ovep by the town. As no resolution was pre- sented 10 this effect before the meeting, the petition was dropped out and no action taken.
 The playground has been taken care of by the school association for scme years and all expenses paid through it's treasury. For a time it was felt that there would be no playground this year because of the lack of sufficient money. Public subscriptions and money realized from a operetta by the school chil- dren saved the day and made the playground possible for another year.
 Members of the association point to the many benefits realized from the playground Resides affording wholesome recreation and sport, it keeps the children off the streets where they are in danger Of auto mobiles. This year the daily ses- sions of the playground have been largely attended.
 The association feels that it has done it's part in esta blishing the playground and equipping it and it IS now Up to the town 10 take it over and maintain it in future years. | lnless the town does so, the asso- clation fears that the children will De without a playground very soon. The opinion Of town officials on the matter is not known.
