Apparently no plans have been made concerted action either to or reduce the rate but the usual dif- ferences over what revenue the town requires to carry on its business are expected to bring about some lively debates at the session. Estimates of the expenses of the various departments are now being prepared and at the meeting of the board of selectmen tomorrow eve- ning a budget will be made up, mak- ing it possible for Chairman Johnson to give the voters an idea as to how much money the town will need. The assessors are hurrying the work on the grand list, hoping to get far enough ahead by Monday to estimate the total. With this information the voters will he able to act intelligent- ly on the tax question. Town officials seem to be of the opinion that the estimates will show the need of raising the rate now in force. Any effort, however, to force an increase will be stubbornly conr- tested, according to leade: of a faction which heretofore has fought for a low tax rate. They had plan- ned some months ago to make a fight for a twelve and a half mill rate but it is thought that the; have aban- doned the idea. At least they show no indication of having organized to work against a continuance of the fourteen mill rate and while they may question the necessity of raising as much moWey as these figures would produce, it is not likely that they will very vigorously oppose it. Should a higher rate be suggested they are expected to put up a hard fight against the adoption of the idea. The principal item cited as a rea- son for an increase concerns the tak- ing from the town of the state appro- i hools. As the grand list $2,000,000, Plainville to share in the distribu- money which the general ppropriates for educational and sult the expensc of the schools will have to be horne ny the town. This will add materially to the school board’s account. The matter of renewing the contract with the United Electric Light and Water company will also be consid- ered at the meeting. The contract now in force is to expire on January 16th. The company has offered to make some concessions, its representatives having expressed a wilkngness to in- crease the candle power of the lamps in use or to reduce the charges from $20 to $19.50 on a five year agree- ment Should the town sign up for ten years the candle power will be in- creased and the cost per light re- duced to $19 a year. The company will permit the breaking of a ten year contract at the end of flve years, the town paying the difference be- tween the rates agreements.

They will give a series of musical sketches and songs, wear- ing special costumes for many of the number: The quartet has been highly praised in other places where the members have appeared and the Red Parth burcau of Boston, which is to furnish the entertainers, gives assurance that the concert will be a musical treat, ™n the quartet are Mi LeSheck, contralto and Miss Gertrude Crosby, soprano, two artists of na- tional fame, Their associates are also talented young ladies at 6 Katherine ange Officers Installed, of the grange * during the next who are to months were installed, with impressive exercises, at | known throughout the tipulated in the two | Chappell has selectmen to make a ten year contract. | entertainments | 'BE GAREFUL WHAT YOU TAKE FOR GOLDS Public warning given to avoid the danger from poisonous drugs and nerve-destroying stimulants contained in so many so-called “Cough Cures.” Look on the label of these prepara- tions and you will see that they con- tain morphine, heroin, codeine, chlor- oform and other dangerous narcotics which should only be taken under a doctor’s orders.
