Indignant over the action of the | state board of equalization in adding | $150,000 to the town's grand list, As- rzessors Frank T. Wheeler and Lewis B. Tucker went to Hartford this af- | termoon to protest against the raise and to explain to the members some- thing about property vatuation in Plainville. NeWws of the increase was a big surprise to the town officials, particularly the assessors, as that body had of its own volition put on nearly $250,000 at its annual session, much against the wishes of a number of property owners. Plainville was raisec by the state teard a year ago, that commission expressing the opinion tnat property here was nct listed for its full valua- | tion. A protest made by 1ocal officials was of no avail and this, year. the as- sessors started to revise the list' and bring the valuation up to a higher figuré. While a statement that property here has actually .depreciated in value ‘during the past few years might be questioned, there are a number of well informed taxpayers who argue that there are few places worth more now than they were ten years ago. In fact, they . consider that difficulty would be experienced in selling some properties at as high a price as ‘they ‘would command a decade ago. There were many protests to the selief board against the raises made by the assessors this year. It was conceded that:the members of that body had made an honest -effort to equalize property valuations, even if they had placed a price on land that would be regarded as high by a pros- pective purchaser. That they over- locked many chances of putting prop- erty on the list for its market value is improbable and the mction of the state board consequently is almost in- credible. - That there is just cause for indigna- tion on the part of the taxpavers scems reasonable. The state board bhas. been harshly criticised for its actjon and it is thought that the mem- bers have shown poor judgment. The today where an increase was not justi- fied although they did not seem to be overconfident of winning success in While it always gives hearings to representatives of towns ‘where the grand lists have been increased, the state board seemingly is guided en- tirely by its own ideas and the testi- mony of the men familiar with the properties does not appear to have a great deal of weight with the mem- kers, < Plainville people nave hopes that this year will be an exception, but: they are not, optimistic over the prospects. Miss Currier to Leave. Miss Anna Currier will sever her connection with the teaching staff in the local schools at the-close of the here from St. Johnsbury, Vt., a year | ago. It is understood she :ntends to give up teaching and will take -up some other form of employment. Miss Currier is the only member of Principal Judd's force to decide against returning to Flainville next yvear, The vacancy caused by her leaving has not as yet been filled but the board expects to make an appoint- ment before the vacation season be- gins, Drunk Fined $11.61. John CaSey of Bristol turned over to the town $11.61 yesterday after- noon in payment of a fine with costs imposed on him by Justice A, H. Condell, before whom he was are raigned on the charges of intoxica- tion and breach of the peace. Casey had created a disturbance at the center Saturday night. He was arrested by Officer Marino. The ac- cused admitted his guilt and was fined on two counts. - Start Pumping Station. Superintendent Joseph ' N. McKer- nan of the Water company and his assistants started today the work of flusning the hydrants around town, preparatory to putting the pumping plant at Mountain View in operation. During the summer the water com- pany will supply the town with wa- ter from a series of wells, driven a few years ago. Vegetable growth in thre bottom of the reservoir makes the water from that place disagreeable in odor and flavor during the warm weather and the well water, which 1§ ¢lear and pure, is 2 welcome substi- tu;% '0 the use of garden hose is attri- buted the coloring of the water in the mains during the past few days Thé pipes through which the water is carried are small and the supply is easily affected. Chance For Valentine, J Benedict—Change Stopping Point | on 'parole brightened greatly, George Valentine returned to his cell in .Wethersfield state prison last eve- ning after® having. appeared- . before the board of pardons to make an ap- peal for freedom. No action iwas taken on his petition but ‘ais friends thought that the prospects for his re- lease were ifavorable. Valentine was involved in the ab- diiction of Margaret Gloriant of this place two years ago. With Donato Moratto he helped to lure the girl frm ‘her homle here, subsequently tak- | ing her to Chicago whre an effort was made to force her'to lead 'a life of | shante, Five young Italians were later arrested in connection with the case and all were sentenced to state pris- on. Valentine .got from three to five years. In his appeal for a pardon Valén- tine claimed his connection with = the abduction but was incidental ‘and that he had helped the authorities by turning state's evidence at the trial, State's Atorney Alcorn apparently thought that there was some merit in the prisoner’s petition. He re- viewed the case for the board and said that in his opinion Valentine had been brought into the abduction by the others who wanted his' assistance because of his intimate knowledge Of | Chicago. .He declared that . Ralph Aceta, the “brains of the plot,”” had been paroled and he thought Valen- tine deserved at least as much. Change Trolley Station, | The selectmen have taken up with Superintendent Beardsley of the Con- ncticut company the matter of again changing th location of the . trolley station at the center and it is expect- ed’ that within a few days the cars will-again‘stop to take on and let off passengers at the corner of Whiting and Main streets, The cars now stop in the center of the square a considerable distance from the sidewalk. sengers are in greéat canger of being run down by automobiles. This ap- plies particularly to old people who become confused and accidents have been averted by narrow margins onm | several occagions. The company has a new rule which compels the motormen on passing cars to have the front yestibules stop on a line with each other gt stations where signal lights have t8'be operated. This makes a complication in changing the lacation of the station as two cars stopping in such faShion on Whiting street cormér would be a gsource of trouble to traffic. It is admifted, how-| ever,“that it would be an improve- ment over the present arrangement and the change will probably be made. & Judge Malone' a Benédict. Local people are intere: in the anneuncement of the w ing of Judge William J.
