The program as arranged centers about the great thought of communion with God.

Mr. Flan- nery told the facts to Selectman Wil- ilam H. Gibney and Mr. Gibney im- mediately got into communication | with the office of the secretary of state, and learned the license was issued to Massetti. He called up the Meriden chief of police, but that dig- ritary knew nothing of a stolen car, The Meriden chief located = Massetti, but the latter was certain his machine was resting comfortably in the garage. In order to satisfy the pe ent in- quiries of the chief, Massetti, 'phoned his garage and was surprised to find that nothing had been seen of the ma- chine since last Tuesday, when it was said his partner had taken it from the | sarage. They had met every day but | hiis companion did not mention the | subject of automobile and neither did Massetti. Yesterday Massetti came | for his machine and found the water | the tank frozen. After using considerable boiling water the pipes were thawed out and he took the zuto back to thte Silver Ciy, vowing he would call the garage every day and know where his part of the ma- chine is.

If an interview this morning with Rev. H. T. Walsh, the acting school | visitor of the Grammar school, when i the question was asked if the school | board intends to make any reply to the communication regarding the school which appeared in the Herald Saturday, signed by one A. B. Bent- ley, the reverend gentleman replied that while he could not at the mo- ment speak officially for the board, he felt sure that with similar ‘classics” from the same source in view, he thought the members would have no time to give the ‘‘diatribe” in ques- tion any recognition whatever. He also said that if he had even the faintest suspicion that the state- ments contained in the screed in question would make any impression upon the minds of his fellow towns- men, he would condescend to prove to Bentley that in the opinion of the | state board of education as well as in his own poor opinion, there is a very excellent school in Plainville. “In my regular vi school,”” he said, “I invariably over the record of our townspeople who visit our school, but as far as I | can remember, this man Bentley has | never as yet honored our school with his superior presence, and such being | the case, I find it somewhat difficult | to understand how he could give any- thing like a fair or just opinion re- | garding the quality of the educational advantages, which, under the man- agement of the present school board, the children of our town are enjoy- ing.” While Mr. Bentley’s attack on the school board and Superintendent Judd | caused considerable comment, prom- inent citizens who discussed it today were outspoken in declaring that it by no means is an expression of the opinion of the townspeople. In fact they were not inclined to pay a great déal of attention to it as they claimed it was of such a vicious character that | on January 15. it did not merit consideration. The board in Plainville measures up to the schools here are properly con- ducted While a strong disciplina- | rian, Principal Judd is generally re- garded as a most efficient official and the results he has obtained give ex- | cellent proof to his capabilitie; Town Meeting Matters. The laying of a tax rate and the renewal of the contract for street lighting will be the principal matters to come up for action at the ad- journed annual town meeting sched- uled for tonight. Although there is | but little talk of the session it is expected that there will be a good at- tendance as speculation over the at- titude of the voters on the matter of either raising or reducing the tax | rate. The estimate to expenses to be presented will show, it is expected, that the selectmen will probably spend a little less than they did last year while there will be a substantial in- crease in the cost of running the schools. While the making of an abstract from the report of the assessors has not as yet been completed the board will make a preliminary statement tonight. Members said today that there will be a slight increase. The raise will not be above normal, how- ever, and will have but little bearing on the revenue to be obtained by taxation. The failure of a number of non residents to file statements and the action of the hoard in equalizing the value of building lots will, it is " OPENING AN ACCOUNT Dir it ever occur to you how simple a matter it is to open a savings ac- count?

This year the 1aw provides that non-residents must send in statements or stand for a ten per cent. addition to their assessments. A number of them neglected to give this matter attention and consequently the assessors had no choice but to enforce the penalty. Nearly three hundred notices of in- creases will be sent out this week by the board. In most instances the raises are very small and the grand total of increases will not amount to a great deal. As a result it is not likely that many very vigorous com- | plaints will be made to the board of relief. The selectmen will probably recom- | mend that the present tax rate of | fourteen mills to be tried out for an- other year. Any effort to increase it will be stubbornly resisted, according to leaders of a low-tax faction. In fact it is possible that they may make an attempt to bring about a reduction. Regarding the matter of lighting the streets the selectmen will submit | the propositions which the United Electric Light and Water company has offered for a renewal of the con- tract now in force, which is to expire The company has agreed to reduce the price from $20 to $19.50 per light or increase the candler power in the incandescents at the rate now in force, providing a five year contract is made. The increased can- dle power and a reduction in price to $19 will be given on a ten year con- tract, the town reserving the right to cancel it at the end of five years by paying the difference between the rates quoted in the two forms of agreement. Seemingly the meeting gives prom- ise of being devold of certain exciting features which usually attend the an- nual gathering of the voters. However, the officials admit the possibility of some interesting debates. Foresters to Install.
