This bit of information from 'the :ducation commissioner, will mean that the school expenses of the town mnay be increased several thousa lollars more than had been planned at the recent town meeting. 'The budget calls for a sum of §$45,000 to be ex- pended for the school expenses. Of this amount, the state pays a con- siderable sum. The fact that the ate will not rcimburse Plainville this year was not known at the meet- ing. In 1921, Plainville received from the itate, a total of $3,317.39 towards the payment of the out-of-town attending pupils. The sum of $2,353.79 was paid for tuition while $963.60 was paid for transportation. If the recent mendment of Chapter 308 had not been passed by the last legislature, Plainville, would have received from the state more than $4,000 for tuition alone, according to figures compiled by Secretary Osborne.
