Plainville News TOWN'S GRAND LIST T0 SHOW BIG RMSE Rockwell- Drake Co. Alone Will | Increase Tmal by $58,000 GHILDRENS EYES DEFECTIVE State Board of Education Gets Report of Eyesight Test—Prisoner Has Fits | While on Way to Jail—Innoculated As Precaution—Briefs, While the compilation of the grand list for 1916 not be sufficiently complete for the making of an ab- stract for several days, the assessors have made enough progress in their work to warrant the assumption that their report will show a substantial in- crease in the total valuation of Plain- ville property. The board has made No announcement as to what changes they intend to make, although mem- be: admit that there will be some increases. The largest single item to be added to the list in a number of years will be placed on the tax books this year when the assessors enter the name of the Rockw rake company in their report. This corporation in its state- ment to the board placed a valuation of $58,000 on its land, manufacturing plant and equipment. The company started in business in Plainville last spring but in a few months its plant has grown to be one of considerable monetary value. It is expected that in another year it will be further en- larged and its assessed valuation will undoubtedly show a material increase in 1917. Other new Plainville corporations which are expected to boost the grand st a great deal next year are the W. J. Cahill company and the Plain- ville Realty company. The property owned by the latter will be placed on this year’s list for its value on Octo- ber 1, the date for the filing of lists, and will probably be included by the board as unimproved farm land. The advent of the Rockwell-Drake company in Plainville and general prosperity have made a big demand for property during the past six months, and taxpayers have in many instances raised the valuation of their holdings considerably In few cases however, did they list an increase in filing their statements with the as- sessors. Although it is said that the board does not plan far a general re-adjust- ment of values, they will send out notices of increases in a number of cases. Heretofore it has been gener- ally admitted the assessors have suc- ceeded in listing property for its full valuation and as the realty boom now existing may be but temporary it is not likely that the rai in" land values will amount to a great deal, the increase in the grand list total prob- ably coming in a large measure from improvements made during the year. Have Defective Eyesight. Approximately one out of every five children attending the local schools have defective eyesight, accoding to the report of the test made rercently for the state board of education. The statement shows that of the 523 pupils whose eyes were tested, 102, or 19 1-2 per cent, were found to be troubled by imperfect sight. There were 580 chil- dren registered in the school at the time the test was taken, but no exam- ination was made of those already wearing gla: or of the members of the youngest class in the kindergarten. The eyesight test must be made every three years in compliance with the statutes. Parents of children with defective eyesight were notified of the results of the tests. and many of the pubpils are now wearing glasses as a result. It is believed that the glasses will enable them to do better work and will also be the means of making their evesight nearer perfect. Innoculated As Precaution. Since the outbreak of the typhold epidemic in Plainville a number of people have had physicians innoculate them with a serum used as a preven- tative against the fever, and as a re- sult sore arms have been much in ECONOMY IN BUSINESS The modern way of paying ! by check has been one of the will greatest aids to business Q g Joffre io Go_, bthr E"ench Generals Considered For Supreme Command cvidence for the past few days. Vac- cination to prevent typhoid has been adopted by the U. S. army officials and physicians generally believe the results to be satisfactory, although they admit that people who have tak- en the precaution are not nec ly immune from the disease. Local doctors reporied today that | the typhoid situation is unchanged. No new cases have been reported and | the condition of patients now receiv- ing treatment for the fever shows no material change. \ P Fiad Constable Marino had ssari- isoner Fits. considerable trouble yesterday afternoon in con- nection with his trip to the Hartford jail with Richard Fitzgerald and John Buckley, both of whom had been fined | by Justice Condell for intoxication. Buckley was seized with epileptic fity duing the journey and the officer had to hire a hack to get him to jail. The man was first stricken while in a cell in the local lockup. He was attended by Dr. J. N. Bull and in a short time had seemingly recovered sufficiently to permit his starting with the officer and Fitzgerald for Hartford. When the capital city was reached, the man had another attack and fell | to the sidewalk. A hack was secured | and the patient s finally landed at | the jail, where he received medical at- tention. Buckley had been fined $5 and costs while a penalty of 37 and the expense of prosecution was imposed in Fitzgerald’s case. Neither of them were in funds and they will work out eheir assessments in jail. At the Churches. Advent Christian—Morning worship at 10:45 with sermon by pastor, Rev.
