are satisfactory and instead of in- creasing the candle power, the town would prefer to have . few extra lamps without expense. MT. Atwater did not believe his company would agree to the substitute concession. The selectmen, however, propose to press the point and will probably recom- mend it at the special town meeting to be held early in December.
 Consideration was given last night to the petitions for additional lights on various streets and members of the board spoke in favor of having some new lamps installed. They were not in favor of giving all that the voters asked for, however.
 The selectmen expressed satisfac- tion at the meeting over the work that Is being done by Henry Orvis, the new tree warden. MT. Orvis is trimming many of the shade trees in various sec tions of the town and there is q marked improvement in the appear ance of the streets where he has worked. The tree warden's duties have been sadly neglected for a num- Der of years and it is gratifying to the selectmep, and the townspeople in general, to observe the activity winch the new incumbent of the office is dis playing.

BETTER LIGHTS BUT
 NO PRICE CUTTING
Lighting Co. Promises to Give Town 80 Candle Power Lamps
ATWATER SEES SELECTMEN

Willing to Give Service at $19 Per
 Lamp if Town Makes Ten Year
 Contract--SeIectman Want Com
 pany to Give Some Lamps Free
 While unwilling to grant a reduc- tion in the price of each light, unless the town makes ten year contract, George r. Atwater, representative of the United Electric Light and Water company in this district, told the se- lectmen al their meeting last evening that if they renew the agreement now in force for a period of five years lamps of eighty candle power will be substituted for the sixty candle power MaZdas now in use. Under the existing conditions he declared that the company could make no other concessions.
 MT. Atwater appeared before the board at the request of the members who were anxious to find out what the company would do for the, town in the event of a contract renewal. He talked to the board at length regard ing the lighting question and explained that Plairville is now getting as much as any town in the state under a five year contract. He was willing however, to give lights of increased candle power should the contract be renewed.
 The town is now paying at the rate of $20 for each lamp used. There are 121 Mazdas in service and the coming town meeting will probably authorize the sclectmen to install ad- ditional globes, petitions having been presented by the voters of several dis tricts for better lighing service. Should a ten year contract be made, MT. At water told the board the company would reduce the rate to $19 for each lamp. The agreement would contain a clause in which it would be speci- fled that without paying any addition al money the town would have the benefit of any improvements that might be made in lighting appliances during the life of the contra ct.
 The ten year contract seemingly does not make a very favorable inn pression on the selectmen.
 The board told the company's rep resen tative that the lights now in use

 Receives Bill.
 Selectman Gibney received notice from the state comptroller yesterday that the state tax would be payable on November 10. The amount as- sessed on this town is $3,37S.S1. When the entire tax is collected the state treasury will be enriched by $1,750,- 900. This tax does away with the issuance of bonds, which up till three years ago was an annual event. The money is used to pay current expens- es and $500,000 is yearly placed in sinking fund. Each town and city in the state bear a proportionate part of the tax.
 The 1evying of the tax is based on the sworn statement of town of the amount received as taxes lad upon grand list property, including the amount received from personal taxes. taxes on shares of stock and other taxes, which the town may lay. If a town fails to make the payment of its assessed tax, interest shall be charged at the rate of nine per cent. a year until the tax is paid.
