Plainville taxpayers may have a 20- mill tax rate for the coming year un- less the board of reliet finds a great change ‘in the grand list. However, Selectman William J.

Many are waiting for the meeting. when tha biggest question, that of levyins the rate,” will be discussed. Much discus- sion on this project is being indulged in by the officials and taxpayers of the town at present. The tax now is 1712z mills, but this will not meet the requirementa of the town.
