Rather than take chances on an appeal to the superior court, Ruilo Neri has settled with Justice E. P. Prior before whom he was convicted on the charge of having gambling de- vices in his store on Central Square. Neri was fined $25 and costs. His conviction was brought about as the result of the activities of the state police who have been making an effort for some time to cause the removal of punch boards which have a century Mrs. in Plainville been operated successfully in Plain- ville for the past few While raids were made on through- out the state regularly to suppress the sociation, which has had a prosper- ous existence for the past four years held a meeting last night and voted to disband, the reason given being that the object of the association has been fulfilled, that of teaching the 88 members the value of small savings, this coupled with fact that the many have become affiliated with Christmas savings clubs and like or- ganiations.
