Farrell of the National Asso- ciation of Baseball clubs, In a state- ment last night regarding the an- nouncement of President David L. Tultz that Class B and O players would be taken 'nto the Baseball Plavers’ Fraternity, said: “The unionizing of mechanics and workmen is all right in its proper sphere. I have belonged to a union myself, but there are those who are good friends of union labor; both in- side and outside of the ranks of union labor, who sincerely and truly be- lieve that a labor union does not be- long in the realm of sports.” ECONOMY IN BUSINESS | The modern way of paying i i by check has been one of the aids to business [ progress.

Pfia;;wfififle News TOWN'TO ESTABLISH LINE FOR BUILDING Providing Legislature Adopts Representative Simpson’s Bill ' SELECTHEN FAVOR MEASURD Trregularity of Present Lines Over Which Town Has No Control Cau Action—State Police Officer Here— Celebrates 96th Birthday—Briefs. with ‘Acting in co-operation the | board of selectmen and other cltizens of prominence, Representative Wil- liam J. Simpson yesterday introduced {a bill in the general assembly to au- thorize the town to establish building and side walk lines. The measure wag referred to the comntitteo on cities and boroughs which will soon set a date for a hearing. Adoption of Mr. Simpson’s measure will make it possible for Plainville to take some progressive steps. the true value of which may not hc appreciat- ed for a number of vears. It is a bill that has been in the mind of Sclect- man Johnson for a long time and was prepared after he had discussed i it with a number of leading citizens, | all of whom gave it their unqualified endorsement. Representative Simp- son did not receive it until vesterday and he dropped It in the hopper in the house on the first opportunity, which was incidental he had, the legisla the introduction of no new after vesterday. Under the existing conditlons prop- erty owners may build on any part of their land that they choose, & per- mission which i{s many times taken advantage of to the extent that the appearance of an entire street is seri- ously damaged. The nced of the es- tablishment of building lines was am- phasized to the selectmen on more than one occasion during the past vear. In one instance recently it was necessary for Selectman Johnson to issue orders changing the plans of a property owner in the eastern section of the town who was having an addl- tion made to his bullding in such a fashion that part of the structure actually was on the highway. The same condition applies to side- walks. There s at present no law which permits of towns taking meas- ures to have the walks uniform in width or arrangement and as a result some of the streets present a rather unsightly appearance. Mr. Simpson’s bill is Hable to at- tract state-wide attention as its pas- sage will probably mean that several towns in the state will take stmilar action at the next sesslon of the leg- islature. When it comes before the committee for a hearing the town will probably be represented by a num- her who will ask for favorahle con- sideration Tt unlikely that there will be any material opposition.
