The men had practically given up hope of get- ting favorable action on their request, the company having made no answer to it, and vesterday they were must agreeably surprised to find in -their pay envelopes extra amounts for the extra work they had done, the aver- time having been figured at 19 cents an hour higher than their regular rates.

Schenck & Son, Philadelphia compensation is larger than is siven by any tramway company in the state. Consider New Lights. The board of selectmen at their regular meeting tonight will make the arrangements necessary §or a ten- year renewal of the street lighting contract with the United Electric Light and Power company in &o- cordance with the Instructions siven by the voters at the special town meeting Monday night. The new contract will call for lights of eighty candle power, instead of sixty and the town will have to pay $19 in- stead of $20 per lamp each year, pro- viding the agreement is adhered to for ten years. Should the town wish to make a new contract after five years, the agreement can be broken by reimbursing the company to the extent of $1 per light for each year the service has been given from 1916. The contract now in force expires on January 15 and the company will be asked to draw up a new one. The selectmen will also consider to- night the matter of increasing the number of lights and the places in which they are to be located. The town meeting authorized them to add not more than twenty incandescents to the number now in us Unless the Connecticut company can be pur- suaded to use lights of at least six- teen candle power on Whiting street, the town will probably have to in- stall at least five new lamps at its own expense on that thoroughfare to keep it properly illuminated. This will reduce the number of extras to fifteen, even should the selectmen go the limit, and it will be necessary to refuse some of the petitions that have been presented, nearly thirty new lamps being asked for. Abstract Nearly Complete. Town Clerk R. C. Usher expects to finish tomorrow the work of piling an abstract from the report of the board of assessors and by Sat- urday the books will probably be open for public inspection. The board of relief will not meet next month and the assessors have until the end of January to make any changes deemed advisable. ‘While nq com- arly three hundred notices increases have been sent out by the board, the raise in the grand list to- tal is but $101,700 over 1At year's. The large number of increases made is largely accounted for by the failure of non-residents to file their lists in compliance with the new law, mak- ing it necessary for the assessors to put on a ten per cent. addition. In an effort to equalize the valuation of land the assessors also made some in- creases, most of them not sufficiently large to deserve mention, in building lots assessments. The board feels that property in Plainville is listed for its full valua- tion and that the assessmcd are equalized as far as possible. The usual number of complaints, however, will probably be filed with the relief board as increases are sel- dom regarded by property owners as of Brief Items.
