It Is understood that the nen-socialist par- ties are likely to act as a unit and that the government will get substan- tlally all the new taxes it has asked for and possibly even more, as a sec- tion of the Reichstag favors a tax up- on extra war profits heavier than that proposed by the government. A mnational convention of chambers of commerce has adopted resolutions favoring the government’s revenue measures, but protesting strongly against any increase in the tax on wir profits over that already susgested.

When the district reded its oflicial committee from seven to three members, it was evidently the senti- ment of the voters that the trio settle the bills contracted during the inves- tigation of the sewage plan and allow {he proposition itself to remain on the shelf, 1. T. Wheeler, who is chairman of the committee, C. H. Calor and J. T. McCarthy serving as his associates, sald today that there had been special activity on the part of that body |since the last district mecting. They | have paid practically all the bills and nuve had but little to do. The by- llaws require that the voters of the district shall meet on the first Mon- in April to elect an official com- { mittee. That the district will dissolve after the coming meeting is hardly antici- | pated. The need of a sewe | here is becoming more apparent every {Gay and the ranks of the advocates of such improvement are steadily get- fing recruits. They argue in the “hick meeting that Plainville is not town” class and an effort should be made to get it up to date if possible. In the long run they prove that the money which the con- struction and maintenance of a w d require would be a good stime from which every property will lize a profit. the Rockwell-Drake company the crection of a new factory tuilding ‘the sewer question has been revived to an unexpected extent. If the plans of the men back of this cor- poration materialize the town will Lave a large manufacturing plant within a few years. Without means of sewage disposal that concern will be handicapped and its officers may lose some of their enthusiasm over Plainville as a location for industrial cnterprises. Should the Rockwell- Trake people attempt to build a sewer system of their own (and unless the voters of the town take up the matter they will have no alternative) there will be grave danger of con- taminating the water supply as the wells from which the water is obtained are located in sandy soll but a short distance from the new factory building. The prospects of the town's growth being advanced materially during the next few years scem very bright and the sewer idea is apparently due for consideration again. While there are Gifferences ‘of opinion as to the merits of various propositions that have heen advanced progressive citizens recog- nize the desirability of the sewer syvstem and they are evidently recady to have the project brought up again, When asked as to the plans of the district committee, Chairman Wheeler sald today that he had taken no steps toward forcing the proposition on the voters again. e declared that while he felt certain that the sewer is badly wanted he had no in- tention of opcrating against the will | of the voters and he didn't intend to show any stubbornness regarding tho matter. e stronsly favors the im- provement, however, and is ready to get busy whenever the voters want it, He admitted that the high cost of labor would make an increase in the old estimates necessar: Workmen want more monev now than they de- manded two years ago and owing to the scarcity of labor the district would have to spend a larger amount than the committee had figured when the sewer proposition was last up for consideration. During the next few weeks it 1s expected there will be some activity among the scwer advocates and with the new recruits which they are have gained during the past vear they may Thave sufficient strength when the meeting is called to get favorable action on the resur- rection of the plan.
