T. Assoviation_Annual Meeting—Plainville Briefs, Permission for the “New Haven™ railroad to withdraw its gate tenders | from the West Main and DBroad railroad crossing has been granted by the public utilities com- mission, a copy of whose decision has been received by the selectmen. It is specified, however, that the! gates must be retained at West Main strect and that members of the train crew or competent railroad cmployes operate these gates and crossing whenéver a train move- ment is made over them. This solution is a compromise by First Selectman James Simpson when he attended the hearing on the matter on October-10. The railroad at first wished to remove the gates at West Main street, but this thoroughfare is such a busy one that Mr. Simpson opposed the action, and the gates will be retain- cd and operated by trainmen. The removal of almost all trains from the ‘Canal Line” branch has led to the railroad's action, as it is now | believed unnecessary to employ reg- ular crossing tenders for the few movements which are now made over the crossings. The decision of the commission is as follows: “The petitioner testifjed that trains service over the two crossings I8 confined at the presept time to limited switching movements, and that train movements in the future lare expected to be no more fre- {quent than at present. The peti- {tioner proposed to substitute, in 'lieu of existing protection, electrie flashlight highway crossing signals of a type approved by this commis- |ston and to stop all trains before iproceeding over the crossing and to flag trains over the crossing by a flagman who would be a member of | the train crew. | “The town opposed the changes 'in protection methods, eliminating the operation of gates at West Main | street crossing oyer which there is a heavy motor traffic and at the west- crly side of which there is also & !terminus of a street railway line. “It appeared that the duties of !the present flagman at the Bread street crossing could be assumed by la member of the train crew in the manner proposed by the petitioner, | and that a member of such crew or {other competant employe of the !compapy could also operate the |gates at the West Main street cross- !ing at such times as a train is about |to proceed over, This change in| |existing protection appeared satis- factory to the town. rom the evidence presenter at Ithe hearing, the commission is of {the opinion and finds that public safety at Broad street crossing will ve .adequately cared for by dis- continuing the flagman now on duty 'at said crossing. In licu of the exist- ing protection, the railroad company | should operate no engines, trains, or cars over said crossing unless and until @ flagmdn, who may beal member of the train crew or other | competent employe, us stationed at said crossing to protect public travel while engines, trains, or cars are labout to move, and are moving, iover said crossing. “Wherefore, the other’ of the board of rallroad commissioners dated Junel, 1923, relating to main- tenancé of a flagman at said cross- ing is hereby ameng~d %o as to pro- vide that the raflroad company may discontinue @ regular gateman at || the aforesaid crossing and is hereby | directed and ardered to operate no | <PLAINVILLE® P i, o TG .

Wherefore the ‘order of the board of railroad commissioners dated Scptember 26, 1899, relating to said crossing, as amended by order of the commission duted April 10, 1919, is hereby fur- ther amended 50 as to provide that | the railroad company may discon- | tinue a regular gateman at | West Main street crossing and shall sub- stitute a member of the train crew or other competent cmploye who | shall operate the gates at such times as trains are about to move, or are moving, over seid crossing. Record Vote Predicted A record vote of between 1,800 and 2000 s predicted by party lcaders herc tomorrow, as un- precedented interest is heing shown in the clection and both sides will | make unusual efforts to bring out | the largest possible percentable of the town’s 2,300 voters. The repub- licans will establish headquarers in the town clerk's office and, with a fleet of 15 cars at their command, will be preparcd to bring to the polling place all voters who wich transportation. The democratic party will take posscssion of the firemen’s rooms in the® Town hall | and will have a squadron of at least | half o dozen automobiles to bring | its sympathizers to the voting places. | Party leaders tend to concur the dpinion that the republicans will carry Plainville, but they disagree | radically on the size of the majority. G. O. P. adherents are claiming that they will win a majority of from 800 to 1,000, while the democrats insist | that the plurality will be not more | than 400. The two sides will make | 2 great fight for votes here in order tals may be used by their partiom in the state-wide battle, b Because of the iarge number of voters expected, a step has been | taken to speed up at the polls. Persons whos beginning with letters from A to K | will check at the left-hand table and those whose names start with the | letters from 1 to % at the right- | hand one. Housewives have been | asked to assist by voting during the | morning or afternoon instead of the ! rush hours in the early morning and between 12 and 1 o'clock. when the | factory workers will be crowding the | hines. The polls will open at 6 a. m. and close at 6 p. m. By Moderator Jobn | E.

THE PLAINVILLE DEMOCRATIC TOWN COMMITTEE VOTERS OF | James Roswell Herial i | Pirst amount of enthusiusm was show, judging by the applause which greeted the speakers, Winchell Smith of Farmington, the principal speaker, went into detail as to the causes which led him to desert the republican party for the democratic party this year. Mr. Smith said he had the greatest contidence in Go- ernor Al Smith to live up to the promises contained in his speech of acceptance and subsequent utter- ances on the platform of the deme- cratic party. Mr. Smith also stated that he had made an honest effort to read Mr. Hoover and ©on some of them was able to get al- most half-way through before final- Iy giving up in despeir. He advised all his listeners to vote for Governor Smith as their only hope of restoring the United States to the status of a republic. Dr. William F. Riordan of West Hartford. candidate for st from the fifth scnatorial distric other of the speakers promised elected to work for the measure: sadly needed in this state, such zs the enlargement of the tuberculosis sanatorinms, the insane hospitals, and so on. Dr. Riordan also at- tacked the administration at Hart- ford for its allezed part in the Wat- Kins case, saying that if Hugh Al- corn blew all the smoke away they wouldn't have a possible chance of reclection. Mayro Mincr of Unionville, t speaker on the program, gave a very intercstirg talk on “A Woman's Parade in Politics,” and she had come to the conclusion that all persons in- vote for Gov terested in honest government should vote for Governor Smith.
