Convention—Legion Pro- gram Is Progressing——school Com- mittees Meeting—Other Items. A review of the vital statistics re- corded at the office of the town clerk shows the death rate in Plain- ville for the first four month of the year to be very high, 26 residents died during that period. Most of the deaths were among the older resi- dents of the town, the changeable weather being the main cause. This vear's deaph rate is a big increase over that of the prévious year. In 1928, about 15 residents of Plainville passed away in the first four months iof the year. Of the 26 deaths, 14 were men and 12 were women. Statistics show that 14 of the deaths occurred 2mong people over 60 years of age, a very unusual record for this town. Twenty-three were among people over 50 years of age, proving that the past winter months were sever ones for old people because of the constant changing of the weather. Pneumonia was the direct cause of four of the deaths. January proved to be the most severe in the way of deaths, nine being called by the grim reaper. In Vebruary there were six deaths, mn March 5, and In April 6. Last year there were four deaths during the month of January, which is consid- ered the hardest month of the entire year, The birth rate continued high as in 1 . children being bern to 24 couples. March proved to be the highest month for births, 10 chil- dren beinz brought into the world. There have heen 13 marriages recorded during the first four months of the year, the average being the s'me in the previous year. Five couples were united in January. three in February, two and three in April. Many Land Deals The firet four months of the year have witnessed a number of land es in Plainville, 58 warrantee decds filed at the office of the town clerk. Many of the deeds involve people from out of town, indicating |that Plainville is being recognized as one of the hest places in this: |part of the state to settle in and Make a home. The land companies have been sciling lots regularly. This out-of-town interest in local prop- lerty should help to boost the popu- Il{llion of Plainville. | April wes the largest month for ales, 20 being completed. February |was next with 15, while January and March witnessed 11 and 10 land sales, respectively. Another indica- tion of the booming prosperity of the town is the fact that a number of deeds have been filed showing the release of mortages. The reports of the building n- spector for the first four months have shown that bullding operations are increasing every month. In his| April report. Inspector Axel John- son said that the bullding prospects were fair. The largest building opeér- ation started this year was the $95.000 addition to the Linden! street school.
