For the first time in years there seemingly is some prospect of con- ducting the business of the town and paying the bills without adding to ihe financial obligations which were slowly bringing Plainville towards a situation which would cause an or- Jinary business man to throw up his hands and appeal to the bankruptcy courts to settle his affairs and give him a chance to get a fresh start. Nearly one-half of the fiscal year has passed and there have been no untoward incidents during that time to indicate that the receipts for the vear will not be sufficient to cover the expenses. That the voters did a wise thing in raising the tax rate to fourteen mills seems to be generally conceded and the opinion prevails that the action will serve as a prece- dent, the ttown getting a chance to conduct its affairs on sound business principles. The estimates presented by the se- lectmen when the tax rate was es- tablished indicated that fourteen mills would bring in enough money from a list as reported by the as- to enable the town to pay its expenses and still have a few dollars for emergencies. Except for the school account, the various departments are,not expected grand zrand list and a higher ttax rate their annual report should show a satisfac- tory financial condition as far as this vear is concerned. Progressive citizens believe there is causge for gratification in this predic- tion as during the past decade the town was apparently going from bad to worse every year because of the failure of the voters to use any Lusiness judgment in laying a tax rate.

Although other places cality are complaining about demics of contagious diseases, ville continues practically maladies requiring quarantine, ac- cording to Health Officer J N. Bull. There have of course been a large number of cases of pneumonia, grip and Kkindred diseases, but the diph- theria and scarlet fever germ seer- ingly is giving the town a wide berth Even measles have not shown up here to any noticeable extent New Britain, Southington and Bristol port large numbers of cases of this disease and the health departments in these places are kept busy. There have been two or three Plainville peo- ple sick with light attacks of measle: but the health officer reports that there was absolutely no sizn of an epi- demic. In this respect Plainville is very fortunate and it neighbors have cause to be jealous. Extra for Overtime. Concessions made to the employes of the spinning department of the local plant of the Bristol Manufactur- ing company have resulted in a set- tlement of the differences hetween the managers &nd the meh regarding overtime, and last night this part of the mill was in operation until 8 o'clock. The spinners some time ago rebelled in this lo- ep: Plain- free from against working overtime because of dissatisfaction with the work given them, and their departiment has been closing at 6 o’clock since. The company is rushed with ders and is said to be busier than any time in its history. To sati the spinners the company made over tures to them, offering extra pay for overtime, and as a result the men have agreed to keep at work until § o’clock in the evening. Murphy Well Picased. Jumes J. Murphy of this place, for- mer owner of the New Britain and Waterbury franchises in the Connect- icut league, is well pleased over the decision of the minor league commis- sion abolishing the Fastern oci tion and substituting a ten-club com- bination. Mr. Murphy believes that it will be a Dig thing for baseball in this section and he looks for a good season for the teams in the merger. He is not particularly enthusiastic, however, over the ten club idea and he thinks that before the end of the season the number of teams will be reduced to eight. The decision spells victory for Cameron interests in New Haven well as for the magnates who associated with Mr. Cameron fight to oust Rourke from the presi- dency of the league. Mr. Cameron’s widow, who hefore her marriage was Miss Catherine Flynn of this place, will be represented in the manag ment of the New Haven team by the administrators of the estate of her husband. or- the a wers in his Brief Items.
