An appeal by Joseph T. McCarthy to the spirit of fair play amongthe voters of the town was all that saved the proposal to revalue ajl taxable property in Plainville from quick and overwhelming defeat ‘when it came before an exception- ally well attended town meeting in the high school auditorium last night. The original plan presented by the “committee of fifteen” was voted down after a lengthy argu- ment and only Mr. McCarthy's dra- matic plea for the right of free speech gave Henry 8. Washburn an opportunity to offer a substitute resolution which wWas adopted unanimously by an audience which appeared to have been shamed. The meeting was of a paradoxical nature, with the voters appearing to be in'a rather bewildered franm of mind. Nearly all who spoke de- nounced the present system of property asscssment as unfair and unsatisfactory, but there was oppo- sition to the adoption of a new one. There seemed to be an impression | that “revaluation” meant “in- crease” and with several yecars of jumped assessments behind them NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1928, citizens’ committee would determine front foot values, which would be submitted at a town meeting for ap- proval or change. The appraisal company would then use these .fig- ures and with their own sliding scale would calculate property values by pure mathematics. The houses would be divided into classes and sub- azuu according to condition, size cohstruction, and age, .| John J. Kimmel, former chairman of the board of assessors and the first selectman by whom the revalu- ation committee. was appointed, placed himself on record as opposed 0 any revaluing at the present time. Property values and taxes were going up every year, Mr. Norton sald, and he felt that the annual revaluation now made was more than enough. Some The mecting was sent into & series of uproars by the speech of a man who has recently moved here and whose name was not Jearn®d. “This town has run for 1028 years on the present scheme and it ought to be good enodgh for a while longer," sald the comedian. “Why pay $11,- 500 to outside people? We have all kinds of carpenters loafing aroung the town now. Put on the full value of the house. The appropriation will ponly pay grafters who are looking for a job. T just moved here from Southington to escape revaluation and now you start it here.” *“We go the work and the company got paid,” was the way Mr. Kimmel expressed his feelings. Mr. Wash- burn then said local people had made a bid but that it was higher than those of the outside firms. + Mr. Prior offered an amendment adopting that portion of the report favoring revaluation by committee. Henry Trumbull then pointed out that there was a con- fusion of terms and that the adop- tion of the report did not mean the included in it. Mr. Gwillim said he interpreted the matter way. George LeWitt said the meet- ing could take Mr. Gwillim's word. Present Idst *‘Outrageous” The last job of the assessors was an outrageous one,” went on Mr. Je ‘Witt amid furious handclapping. "It the voters turned down the first proposal. This rejection was tech- | nically on the basis that too much | authority was being delegated to a | small body of 'men, and after Mr. | McCarthy had subdued those who were shouting for adjournment | Wwithout further action Henry 8.| Washburn presented a substitute plam which called for further in- | vestigation and a report back to meeting on Monday night, February 27. This left final | authority with the voters and was | adopted unanimously. : Between 300 and 400 jammed the high school voters | auditor- |lum, main floor and balcony. First committees of seven men, | Selectman James Simpson called'the without pay and to have full power meeting to order and Stanley §., Gwillim . named chairman Town Clerk William IH. Wilson act- ed as clerk Frank T. Wheeler reported for phc committee appointed by the scléct- men to investigate the matter of re- valuation.

Recommendations ! The committee recommended, Mr. Wheeler stated, that the sclectmen | be empoywered to appoint a commit- items upon | be properly ing from the finance board and thre from the hoard of assessors, to have full power to secure revalluation; that a sum not to excced $11.500 be | 'appropriated for this work and for a fireproof container for the recards; | and that the selectmen and assessors be authorized to name a person to carry on this work after the apprais- al company had prepared the rec- ords. Howard 8 Smith moved the adoption of the report. Caution was urged by Attorney Cornelius Prior, whosald that there were two issucs: the question of re- aluation and that of the kind of re- | valuation. In the. former he agreed with Mr. Wheeler, but he differed s to the method to be adopted. He felt that the committee should have presented more definite facts. The people should determine who is to do the revaluation, he said, and should determine the features of the contract, not give full power to a small group of men. “Go slow! he counscled, “for e can't retrace our steps.” A great burst of ap- plause followed his cloquent address. | Washburn Explains | The method of the appraisal com- pany was then outlined by Mr.| Washburn in order that the people might see just *“what the town| would get.” He said it was a ques- | An air map would be taken and enlarged | up to 50 feet to the inch.

The future meeting date was set for the 27th and the resolution was carried unan- imously, the few who started to rise against it losing their courage and hurriedly scrambling back into their seats. The appropriation was tabled in. definitely and the meeting was ad- Journed at about 11 o'clock. Plainville Wins Again Plainville defeated West Hartford by 33-23 in a Farmington Valley Pasketball leaguo game in the High school gym last night before the largest crowd of the season. The local teath was badly shaken up by the absence of several regular play- ers, but the men who were secured to fill their places did their work excellently. The first half was a bitter battle and ended with the score 16-16. The Plainville started and, with West Hartford held help- less, the locals moved out to what was an easy win at the end.

Mr. Prior asked that a member of the board of relief be placed on the committee, and a woman raised another storm of laughter by inquiring if the assessors to be named would be the present “This uation,” be paid. Cornclius Prior drew an dictatorial powers and said this would be delegating authority too rashiy with no later recourse. He wished the voters to retain final au- thority. F. L. Benzon rccalled that similar powers had been delegated to the High school committec and {that that body had carried out its|{omorrow afternoon. duties most satisfactorily. Mr. Wheeler gave the amounts of the bids in reply to a question by Mr. Peace. The outside firms bid $10,500, $11,000 and $15.000, whiie the local one came to $13,200. The resolution was then put to a vote and defeated by a margin of about 3 to 1. The Turning Point Then came the dramatic moment of the cvening. Peter . Prior moved adjourn- ment. Mr. Washburn asked for a brief word but the former first lectman demanded the question. ) McCarthy sprang to his feet shouted, “Did the people of Plain- ville ever deprive right to be heard?” Shamed, the meeting downed the move to ad- journ, not a single person rising to vote against it.
