Better relationship ' the shutdown of the Franklin Electric plant in Middletown. The shutdown is for an indefinite period. with prominent men who were in a position to give a good account of conditions. England, he felt, was coming back to its normal conditions rapidly. The country has a large capital and by no means broke. Stories to the effect that labor troubles were numerous, are greatly exaggerated, in his esti- mation. There have bheen several mine strikes to be sure, but these have practically all been settled. The | average business is progressing at a good rate and they are kept busy. ‘ There is much work in the shipyards, "and there are more ships now under construction than ever before in normal times. France is. not so well off. Mr. Chandler spoke in high esteem oi the Frenchmen and calls them the brav- est of any nation’s country men in Europe. They are thrifty, even though having been hit hard by the war, and are gradually coming back to pre-war times. There are places in France which have been vastly devasted and there has becn no con- struction work done in these regions as yet. Other towns, which did not suffer to any great extent have been rebuilt and are busy. The women in that country are verv thrifty and hard working, and can be seen in the fields doing man’s work any time of the day. Francc is typically a small nation of property owners. Each peasant, no matter how poor, gencrally oyns a small tract of land which they till. There are places that are horribly handicapped. Fac- tories had been destroyed and ma- chinery within smashed. Mr. Chandler spoke well of a representative from Illinois by the name of Britton. This man hg said, fought against a bill that had bcen brought forward in congress to the effect that France should send men over to the army of occupation in Germany. France is in by of men killed and three to four mil- lion crippled, they should be elim- inated from this work. Italy is suffering greatly from lack of coal, There is little money in the nation, and it will take a long time to resume its normal stage. Belgium, hit harder than any of the nations, is coming back to its normal stage nevertheless, but there ‘is suffering in some cities. Belgium people are hard working and will not rest until the country is on its feet again. Mr. Chandler spoke briefly on his visit as a delegate from the National Chamber of Commerce in this coun- try, to the national conference held at Paris. = The Plainville Business association were rewarded with 23 new members last night, which makes a total of (about Y63 in the organization A | membership of about 200 is locled forward to.

Mc- ' Kernan and Walter Seymour, held its first session at the town hall yester- day for the purpose of hearing any complaints regarding the work of the assessors, and appeals for reductions on the list. There were but two who called during the day to enter com- plaints. J. W. Eastwood of Strong .court, and M:s, Mgry A. Karageorge, proprietor of th blonial Inn were these two. Mrs. rageorge had her property raised from $9,470 to $9,- 580. She thought the property was valued too high in view of the fact that the property did not contain as much ground parcel of about feet long by 150 feet deep had been sold to the Plain- vill€ Trust company recently and she felt they should reduce the valuation considerably. instead of increasing it. She has had some alterations made inside the place, one section which contained a pool parlor was conveyed into a five room apartment. She claims that there are but two roomers in the place qt present. Mr. Eastwoo creased from $3,178 to $3,453 He felt it this was unnecessary as his home is not complete there being two rooms not vet finished.
