The Plainville Chamber of Com- merce is at present fostering the project of having a landing field in the town for air mail aviators. Should this plan be carried out by.the mem- bers and looked upon with favor, Plainville will have the distinction of being included in the hige aerial mail service plans of the government. A meeting on the proposition was held at Hartford recently when sever- al cities and towns wyere laid out for a possible route. Plainville was looked upon as a favorable location for a geld due to the vast area of land that may be converted into a field. There will be a meeting of the com- merce chamber Thursday night of this week when the proposition will be discussed. President Charles New- ton has issued an invitation to.all members who are interested in this meeting to attend, The discussion is not for the directors only. At present there is an excellent field for landing purposes which was made for Hugh Rockwell during the time he had his “Flying Flivver.” It is called Woodford's Field and is one of the best in the vicinity as pro- claimed by several aviators who had occasion to land there. It is not be- lieved however that this particuiar field will be used but probably another one converted into a ldrger place. A committee from the Chamber of Commerce is also working for secur- ing @ cannon to be placed in the cen- ter. Congressman E. Hart Fenn in- troduced the bill in the House of the Senate "and it is possible that onc will be had: The Chamber is endeavor- ing to get one which was captured by the 26th Division. Hearing Tonight The postponed hearing on’ the establishment “of a building line on Whiting street will be held this eve- ning in the court room of the Town Hall at 8 o’cock The Town Plans Commission will conduct the meetin; It was necessary to adjourn the ses- sion called for last week Monday due to the fact that the new street line recently laid out by Superintendent Joseph McKernan of the Water De- partment, had not heen acgepted by the selectmen. The selectmen have, however, gone over the new maps and approved of them. It is expect- cd that there will be some arguments presented this evening regarding the proposed building line and the proper- ty owners who will be affected by it will attend, Whiting street has been the bone of contention for some time, and tonight may see a conclusion of the difficulties encountered. Aces Trim Plainville Team The Aces baseball team and the Plainville Athetic Club players held a practice game at Allen’s field yes- terday afternoon.
