Town Meting Tonight The adjourned town meeting will be held at the town hall this evening and it is expected that the largest number of taxpayers yet represented at a meeting will be present. ‘The great question of the evening to be threshed out will be the tax-rate for the coming year, This one question has been the topic of the town ior the past few wpeks. Since First ‘Selectman George B. Carter stated that he thought 22 mills would be the praper tax-rate for the town, many taxpayers have ventured their opinions. One said he thought a 21 mill rate would b cient inas- much as it would give the town a little over $85,000. His figures were based on the assessors’ valuation. The budget calls for approximately $113,- 000, $86.000 of which to be raised by taxes, the rest being granted the town by the state for schools and other pur- poses. Another prominent Kensington business man =aid that the.taxpayers couldn’t do anything anyway, and the best thing for them to do was to “swallow the pill which has been pre- pared for them.” Then again others, in the Worthington fire district, recall that they have been asscsed an extra four mill for the past four years for the new lighting system which has recently been installed as well as sun- dry other expenses which have risen Another item worth noting is that the water bill is passed by the legisl ture the two fire districts in the town of Berlin will bear an extra assess- ment in all probability for several years, The outcome of the meeting will be awainted by many with keen interest It is also hoped that many women will be on hand this evening to tell the town what they think should he the tax rate, as they are now equal to the men in the political field. New Racks in Town Hall New Art metal racks and a cabinet have been purchased by the town for use in the vauilt of the town hall. Town Clerk Arthur Woodruff, has had to keep his books on file as best nhe could with poor facilities. In view of the fact that the number =~ each year it was thought to buy the racks, Tree Warden Busy. Tree Warden Willlam Shepard has been busy the past two days in cut- ting down several trees on Berlin street. The largest yet to be cut is the large elm in front of the com- munity house, the life of which was destroyed some years uago when the old Riley place was burned. ) Private Dance This Evening.

Epworth League Plans for Social— Church Services for This Week— Brock-Barnes Post Plans for Build- ing Site—Forestville News—Items. A\t the town meeting tonight the question of levying the tax rate will Le discussed. It appears for a cer- tainty that a 20-mill tax will be found necessary inasmuch as the expenses of the town have increased to such an extent that the present rate of seventeen and one-half mills will not be sufficient. The school expenses have increased somewhat with the in- se in teachers salaries. The grand list, with an increase of some $508,569 over last year's list, will not be enough to meet the needs of the town. The factories have done a great deal towards aiding the burden, and with new additions, have carried a heavy assessment. All factories put together total the amount of about $1.351,940. But few appeais were made to the board of relief for reductions in the valuations placed by the assessors, and apparently the majority of the property owners were satisfied. Much discussion is heard in regards to the tux rate and its probability of being 2 mills. Many are of the opinion that it is too high and some stiff argu- ments are expected at the meeting tonight. The meeting will be called at 7:30 o’clock. The grand list has been reduced considerably by the board of relief ing its investigation and a sum of * 65 has been deducted. The fol- lowing is a report of the relief board's cut from the grand list: Amos Coons, $1,000; John W. East- wood, $2 Henry G. Gould, $1,000: Charlotte Jewett, $1,250: M. Man- ning. $1 0: Vincenzo Minello, $450: May W. Mills, $200, and . Roberts, $290. Rasehall Meccting.

The viviater of the motor vehicle law. brcuzhi into the Plainville court is triad by the justice, and not by the court, as the bill reads. Should this town have a court which acts under the jurisdic- tion of the larger towns, it could re- tain part of the fines for upkeep of the court. and but 75 per cent would be turned over to the motor vehicle department.
