Club will give a Christmas | hall on Wednesday | isiting relas®) There L. | sented | is fast nearing completion but never- theless, the assesors feel certain that {the end will not be reached until ! January, The lists, of course, are much larger than that of last vear's and there are hundreds of added items. They feel that a decided in- crease will be seen in the - present vear's expenses compared with others | previous. Last year there was an in- crease of 25 per cent to the one previ- ous, When asked how much they thought this year's increase would total, the assessors estimated, about 10 per cent. This is due to the enormous building that had been go- ing on during the summer. The fac- tories have also made several addi- tions. The Trumbull Electric manu facturing company has been the largest addition, when the new office was completed. The Charles H. Calor factory which burned down some time azo, has also undergone some extensive changes while the smaller plants also built ad- ditions. Last year a total sum of more than three million in taxes was compiled by the assessors. Ths year will cover about five millians, Just how much this added &xpense will affect the present rate of tax, cannot be known until the month of Mareh. The Board of Relief will then exam- ine the baoks and a complete report wnl he made. The town is now under a 1-2 mill tax. The nssessors feel m..t an added tax of two and one half mills will be necessary to clean up the expenses. The assessors who have been work- ing on the books are: S. P. Williams, Qle H. Robertson, J. R. Robertson and William Simpson. Rev. Gillette Loaves. E. C. Gillette preached his last Sunday sermon at the local Congrega- | tional church yesterday morning. There was a large attendance to bid farewell to the Rev. Mr. Gillette as he was well liked about the town and had made many friends sin¢e his com- ing here three years ago. The resolu- tion adopted by the Plainville Min- isters’ ussociation, some time ago, was read by Louis L. Brastow and Schuyl- er Williams.. It read to the effect that the members of the association. wished to express their appreciation of the fellowship which they enjoyved with | the Rev. Gillette, and to express their regret ot his resignation and | leaving Plaiaville. Mr. Gillette and his family left this morning - for Jacksonville, Florida. Here he will commence his new du- ties as pasior of the Union Congre- | gational church there. TPhe church is much larger than the local one, and is situated in the very heart of Jackson- ville. Mr. Gillette forwarded his household furniture to Florida last Friday. The townspeople regret the leaving of the popular minister and wished him God speed in his new field. Rev. Contest Announcer.
