 Last year the grand list was sub- stantially increased by the state board although the local officials succeeded in getting that body to relent and slice was taken off the raise.
 Property in PIainville is thought to be listed for its full valuation and even the raise made a year ago was not thought to be justified.

He has lived in this town for ten years and was employed in the American Paper Goods company. Last night he retired apparently in good health. He roomed with Angelo Ros- so, who discovered his dead body this morning. It has been customary for Rosso to rise before DiMaio and pre- pare breakfast. He did so this morn ing and returned to the bed to wake DiMaio. Receiving no response to his s shakings, he placed his hand on DiMaio's heart and found life was ex- tinct. Dr. R. M.

 Fire Destroys Barn
 Residents of Kensington received a shock last night about 12:30 o'clock when flames shot into the sky near the Paper Goods factory. Investigation showed the small barn belonging to ' Frank Orsie, across the street from the factory, was in flames The barn had been unused for some time and yesterday the owner had several loads of wood stored in it. The flames did their deadly work quickly and soon the shed and it's contents were a mass of ruins.
 Just how the fire started is a mys- tery and it is believed to be of an in- cendiary origin.
