White and Ole W. Ro- seek the republican nomination for assemblyman from Plainville at the republican caucus to be held next Wednesday night. The announcements of both candi- dacies were released today. Mr. White represented Plainville in the last session of the assembly. He did good work on several com- mittees and secured the passage of & bill designed to clear up the trouble caused by the streets which run along the Plainville town lines. His one reverse came with the sudden rejection of his bill for the estab- lishment of a Plainville town court. This rejection was through no fault of Mr. White's and was-due to clir- cumstances which have never been fully explained. Mr. Robertson contested the nom- ination two years ago but was de- feated in caucus by Mr. White. He has been prominent in local affairs for several years and has had charge of the voting machines in recent elections, Assessors to Take Lists The board of assessors wil begin its sittings to take lists of taxable property on Saturday, October 13, it was announced today by W.

Discuss Zoning Code Progress in the drawing up of a zoning code is being made by the public utilities committee of the Chamber of Commerce, Chairman Henry Trumbull reported at the monthly meeting of the chamber last night. A tentative draft is being pre- pared and rough memos are being studicd by the various members of the committee. When the various suggestions have been considered, those deemed worthy of inclusion will be placed in the code and a complete and finished draft will be prepared. The chamber will work with fits projected zoning ordinance in the ame manne s that in which it se- cured the acceptance of a building code. When a code which appears acceptable has been drawn up it will be turned over to the selectmen, who will be asked to consider the matter with the recommendation that they call a special town mecting to se- cure its adoption if it meets with their approval. he code is designed to restrict certain types of buildings to certain arcas and in this way to pr residential character of s preeminently residential. Similar codes have recently been adopted in Hartford, New Britain, and other surrounding cities and are sald to Lave safeguarded property values in those places. The plan of the railroad to re- move gate tenders from the West Main and Broad street crossing was discussed. The railroad has recently removed four freight trains a day from the Canal Line, routing them through Berlin and New Britain leaving only one train a day each ay up the Northampton branch. Plainville is getting as good service through New Britain as it did direct from New Haven, the chamber was informed, and since the town was not suffering from the removal of trains the directors of the chamher felt that they could not consistently or reasonably ask the railroad to maintain gate tenders for the two trains left on the schedule, INVILLE® TONIGHT BILLIE DOVE in “THE HEART OF A FOLLIES GIRL"” with LARRY KENT “GIFT NIGHT” Are You Lucky?

Church Announcements OfMctal announcement of the ap- pointment of Rev. Willlam P. Laf- lin, pastor of St. Matthew's church. restville, as administrator of 8t Joseph's parish in this city, men- tion of which was made in yester- day’s Herald, was contained in the Thursday fssue of the *“Catholic Transcript,” the accredited organ of the Hartford diocese. While Father Laflin has already taken over his new duties, his connection with the Forestville parish will not be sev- ered until next Sunday. Rev. Oliver T. Magnell, whom Father Laflin succecds, has been in poor health for some time and will take a much needed rest, according to a state. ment issued at the local rectory Thursday afternoon. Father Laflin this month rounded out a term of ten years' service as pastor of St. Matthew's church, Forestville, having been appointed in October, 1918, by Bishop John J. Nilan. He was ordained to the priesthood in Holy Cross cathedral, Boston, in 1902 by Bishop Brady, 1is first assignment was an assistant at the Sacred Heart church in Bridgeport, from which point he was transferred a few years later to 8t. Patrick’s church, Waterbury, as assistant. In 1908 he was again transferred to the Sacred Heart church in New Haven, where he re- mained as assistant until his ap- pointment as pastor of St. Mat- thew's. The growth of 8t. Matthew's par- ish under the leadership of Father Laflin has been worthy of note. At the time of his appointment, it was 4 i : f : 1 g5k mimion churches of Farmington for many years, Nilan established both Forest: and Farmington as aspars ishes. Father Lafiin, as & this action, became the first pastor of St. Matthew's. During the tem years of Father Laflin’s pastorate in Forestville nu. merous improvements have been made in the church and the financial condition of the parish is pointed to with pride by the pa- rishioners. In 1320 a beautiful wew rectory was erected just morth of the church and the grounds sur- rounding both structrues have beem beautified under the direction of the pastor. The church is recognized as one of the prettiest of the amaller churches in the diocese. : While residents of Forestville, iv- respective of creed, regret the trans- fer of Father Laflin, they at the, same time congratulate him om his appointment and find conselation; in the fact that he will atill remain in the city. Parishioners of #. Jo- seph'a, regretting the departure of Father Magnell, through whose ef- forts the beautiful new churek edi- fice was erected a few years ago, find consolation in their loss in the appointment of Father Laflin, whom they have come to know through his services in the neighboring parish.
