purpose of approving the action of the , selectmen in borrowing money to pay | expenses of the town. These expenses will cover the fiscal year ending August 15, 1921. It is expected that the expenses will be much larger than that of last year. The estimated eN- penses for 1920-1921 will total SS5, 5,225. The great increase in the expenses is due to the added expenses of the schools. Expenses for the school and i temporary school building are esti- mated at about SJ2 p00. There have also been many repairs on the high ways. New bridges were erected and it is planned to continue replacing all the old wooden bridges with cement ones.
 Police System Criticized.
 A communication has been received concerning the new police system recently installed in the town by the Town Plan Commission. The writer wishes to have his questions answered by one of the local officials or some persons interested in the system. The communication follows:
 Why should all taxpayers of Plain vile supply a police officer to patrol certain private property, such as the new clock system calls for? The boxes are placed in back of the Aldridge block, Newton's block, Russell's block and the Rogers stables. Why can't the signal boxes be placed in sections where all business places are, so the dwelling houses would be more pro- tected? If the property owners want a watchman for the rear of their stores, let them hire a man to do such work and not take our town officer. Please answer how many citizens of Plainville would go in back of a build ing and ring up every hour?
