 Having increased the towns grand list by s50,000, Tax Commissioner w. Fl. Corbn has sent a letter to Town Clerk R. c. Usher advising him of the action of the state board of equaliza- tion in putting an additional assess ment on Plainville for the state fund used in the average attendance grant for the schools Of small towns. The raise did not surprise the local officials greatly as it had been intimated to them a few months ago that the state board was again to froWn on the town
 Despite the fact that the boost was rather expected the officials are not enthusiastic over it and they willing ly admit that they see no Justification for it. The assessors made up their list last year, figuring the various properties on a one hundred per cent. valuation and they do not believe that Commissioner Corbin and his assO- cjates should put any additional bur- den on the taxpayers. They realize, however, the folly of registering any thing except a formal protest and as has been the case in the past they will have to close their eyes to the states raid on the town treasury.
 Plainville officials feel particularly hard hit over the regular increases be- cause the town no longer shares in the state appropriation for schools for average attendance, the grand list being over S2OOO,0O Until two years ago Plainville got it's share of the money but under the existing con- ditions it is no longer entitled to any of it.
 Last year the state board tackled an additional $150, 900 to the grand list but after the earnest solicitation of the officials changed the raise to S1OO,OOO. The $50,O0O which was chopped off is put back again and the town will have to settle
 Here it is believed that the state board used a poor basis in calculating, the members seemingly figuring that to insure a peaceful sleep they simply had to change the assessors report
 Must Abate Nuisance.
 Threatening prosecution, the select men have again warned MT. and Mrs. Charles Green that they must abate the nuisance caused by the bowling Of the dogs in their kennel on Camp street While they are not anxious to bring the couple into court, the select men declare that they will order an arrest unless their instructions are obeyed. This morning notice to that effect was served on Mrs. Green.
 MT. Green has dog training quarters on his wife's property and he is board ing from twelve to fifteen hounds. Neighbors claim that they are an- moved by the barking of the animals at night and growing weary of the continued disturbance they ask to have the nuisance abated
 MT. Green was advised that he must either put silencers on the dogs or give Up the kennels but after consult ing counsel he declared that he was acting within his legal rights in re- fuSing.
 According to the law, the selectmen have the privilege of ordering the abating of such a nuisance on written complaint and the law provides that . fine of S7 and costs or thirty days im- prisonment may be meted out in case of a refusal
