Plainviile fiews (Continued from Ninth Page.) town meeting is now making an inves- tigation of the feasibility of the plan and will make a report at the special town meeting which will be called in the near future. It is thought that the town will comply with the re- quests of the compny. The addition to the Trumbull plant which is now in the stages of con- struction will furnish about 10,000 extra feet of floor space which will augment the present output of the concern and mean that the “employes wanted” sign will be in evidence. The Trumbull Eletric has always shown itself to be a live concern and further enlargement of the plant is looked for in the future. Starting this week a bonlus will be given to the girls employed at piece- work at the Bristol Mfg. Co. The plan will be carried out on an attend- ance basis and those who can show a full attendance for the week will receive an addition to their regular earnings. To receive a bonus a girl must be at work every morning of the week on time and work the full day. Assessors Give Out Notlce. All persons in the town who are liable to pay taxes have been notifled to return to the assessors on or be- fore November 1 a written ar printed list, properly signed and sworn to, of all taxable property belonging to them on October 1. All persons owning real estate will be required to furnish a separate de- scription of each parcel of the same and to give dimensions of all sep- arate building lots, whether occupied or unoccupied. Those failing to re- turn a list with the proper dscrip- ttons will be charged a penalty of ten per cent. additional, according to law. Blanks can be obtained of the assessors or at the town clerk’'s office or at Byington’s drug store. The assessors will hold meetings in the town hall for the purpose of re- celving the lisss on Monday, October 15; Wednesday, October 17; Saturday, October 20; Monday, October 22; Wednesday, October 24, from 1:30 in the afternoon until 5 o'clock, and from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. and from 7 to 8:30 p. m., October 27, 28, 29, 30 and November 1. James Usher Writes. After waiting expectantly for sev- eral weeks, Town Clerk Robert C. Usher is in receipt of a letter from his son, James Usher, who at present is “somewhere in France.” Although the letter bore no postmark other than “New York Terminal,” as it was stamped in this country upon its ar rival here, Mr. Usher thinks that his son is near Paris. The letter was dated September 11 and was over a month on the way In the letter Usher states that he has been to Paris and thinks it is the most beautiful city in the world and that no city in this country or Europe can compare with it in regards to beauty. Incidentally he adds that the { women there are also very beautiful and great fresh air enthuslasts com- ing out in the ‘afternoons for their nent and self-perpetuating relief com- ! This commit- lead in the current events meetings, | knitting in hand, if need be—through-: committec appointed at the annual | welcome that they received when they landed in the city. Although there are a great number of soldiers in the city American sailors are scarce and an unusual sight. Everything was done for their comfort he said. He tells of meeting a great number ambulance drivers who have seen life at the front and are capable of giving vivid descriptions of life in the trenches and of modern warfare. These men he said spent part of their time at the front and the other part in Paris en repos. In Paris they flock to the Y. M. C. A's where they are provided with all the comforts ! that could be asked for. One of the members of the crew had the pleasure of meeting Reno, an American avia- | tor, who is accredited with bringing | down a great number of German air- | planes. Because of censorship rules ‘gnrding military information he in- | forms his father that he can say | nothing of the boat on which he is i of re- stationed but after the war is over and they are mustered out he will be | able to show pictures, etc. That the sailors have their mo- ments of work and play is illustrated in one paragraph in which he stated “We have just finished coaling the ship which is our hardest job and expect to have a ball game with one of the other boats later in the af- | | ternoon.” | In conclusion he writes that he is | glad to hear that Plainville is boom- ing and trusts that they will want to buy building lots before long. In his letter he also mentioned the | fact that he has recelved mail but once since he left the United States. Fire Your Shot Now. If there is any truth to the state- ment that every Liberty Bond sold is a shot at a U-boat then Plainville will be doing her bit to rid the high seas of the menace to humanity. To date $30,000 has been subscribed to the second issue of the Liberty Loan and one-third of its entire al- lotment of $99,000 has been contract- ed for. Members of the general com- mittee are putting forth thelr best ef- forts to se’$ the bonds and the house- to-house canvass is expected to be a pronounced success. Plans for the rally day, which will probably be held next Sunday, will be made at a meet- ing of the general committee this levenlng in the town hall. Civil Service Examinations. The U. 8. civil service commission will hold a competitive examination at New Britain on October 27 for the positions of clerk and carrier at the local postoffice.
