 Issue Call This Week.
 At the weekly meeting of the board of selectmen to be held Thursday eve- ming the matter of issuing a call for a special town meeting will be con- sidered and it is likely that by Sat urday the notice will be posted. The selectmen were obligated by the vo- ters at the annual town meeting to call a special session not later than December 15 to decide on the matter of renewing the contract for street lighting with the United Electric Light and Water company.
 The matter of increasing the num- Der of street lights is also to be taken up at this time. Applications for over twenty new lights have been made and the selectmen will report as to how many additional lamps they be- lieve the town requires.
 Place for Wade.
 Speculation as to the plans of A. F. Rockwell, the Bristol manufactur CT who recently purchased a tract of land contiguous to the property of the Trumbull Electric company from G. c. Woodford, continues in town and local people feel confident that Plainville is to have a new indus try of Importance in a short time that they arc already anticipating hOom in real estate and general bus iness
 MT. Rockwell has not as yet public ly divulged his intentions confining his announcements to the statement that while he may build plant on the property for the manufacture of ballbearings, his plans have not ma- tured sufficiently to take the people into his confidence. He is spending much of his time in New York on business connected with the Bristol Brass company and his contemplated venture, and he has but little to say for publication.
 In Bristol the opinion is held that Mr. Rockwells scheme will make an opening for John F. Wade, who re- signed as general superintendent of the New Departure factories a short time after Rockwell's removal of president. Mr. Wade left ostensibly to take place as manager of the Bristol Brass company's plant, but there is a feeling in the neigh boring city that MT. Rockwell is holding him for a place as superintendent of business which will be in competition with the New Departures trade.
 Information secured from sources considered authoritative indicate that in the immediate future a small plant for hardening ball bearings will be constructed on the land purchased by Mr. Rockwell land by Spring large building will be erected. !
 Assessors Make Progress.
 While they are devoting but few days a week to their duties, the board of assessors has made splendid pro- gress in compiling the grand list for this year and the work is now nearing completion. Some tours of inspec- tion have to be made, although the map prepared by the board last year, permits of the assessors staying in more than usual Building lots, owned by people with unpronouncable names, located on tracts which were sold at auction a number of years ago, give the most trouble and the asses sors have to visit them before fixing the lists.
 There will be but few changes over last years list, according to members of the board. and it is doubtful if the total will show an increase of sufficient size to amount to anything. Property values were boosted to such an extent last year that the raises this year will probably be on land and dwellings, where improvements have been made There has been but little building during the year and consequently the increase in the grand St n be large.
