The fires of Monday and yesterday
were the principal topics of discussion
about town this morning and once
more the need of adequate fire protec-
ton is brought to the attention of the
4ownspcople. At gathering of some
citizens Il few days ago, the sugges-
ton was made that he own purchase
an autom obile CHI -mical engine. The
suggestion is brouel to attention of
ton has met with general approval, if
the remarks which have heen heard
concerning it may be taken as a crj-
-terion. Whether the town is able to
set aside a sum for the purchase and
maintenance of such an engine, is also
4 much mooted question. 1t has been
thoroughly threshed over by num-
Der Of citizens ID the consensus
seems to be that in case it was
deemed inadvisable to appropriate a
sum for the purpose. tag day
could be held and every member of
the community would have an oppor-
tunity to assist in the purchase of the
apparatus. The originators Of the
idea claim the people who contribute

ance rates. Insurance premiums have
Jumped considerably in town, espe-

reason that the town is not properly
protected from the ravages of fire
which causes the increase. The rates
have increased forty per cent. in that

Teachers employed in the local

| board, the members having voted to
| adopt the rule in force in practically
| cycrv city in the state In future
i when it is necessary to engage a
substitute for any teacher, absent
through illness or for any other rea-
son, the expense will not be borne by
the town.
According to the chairman, Rev.
Il. II. Burton, the rule is not put in
force becau use of any pronounced abb
senteeism on the part of Principal
Judd's staff. The teachers as rule
are regular in attendance and it is
not often necessary to hire substitutes.
The board has no fault to find with
the prin cipals assistants. They are
giving satisfactory service and the
entire staff is considered to be the
most efficient force ever employed by
the town.
The change was made simply for
business reasons. On the face of it
Chairman Burton believes it might be
considered stingy for the town to re-
fuse to pay a teacher who is absent
but one or two sessions in a year and
on these occasions has an excellent
reason for remai ming away. He ar
CUES that the school committee repre-
sents the voters and has no right to
spend their money for sentimental
reasons. Consequently the schools
| must be managed entirely on bus
mess basis and as deductions for alb
senteeism are made in almost every
place in the state, Plainville has to
fall in line.
The board held it's March meeting
last night but had little business &c
transact other than the paying OF
bills.
