 The proposal to have general revaI- uation of the property of the town of Putnam, which proposition was over whelmingly defeated at special town meeting on Monday evening, will not down. The matter was being discussed with animation in influential circles on Thersday and the opinion expressed that thS majority of the voters will consider it more favorably when the advantages of a revaluation are made more clear to the public at large.
 Citing the state law that obligates every town in Connecticut to have a gen. eral revaluation of property made every 5 years, one we'll informed citizen said that it might not be bad idea for some dis satisfied taxpayer to refuse to pay the on the ground that his assessment is unfair because of the great inequalities now alleged to exist in the valuations of property in Putnam. Undoubtedly, this action would produce court ques- tion of more than passing interest. Put nam has not had general revaluation of property in a decade, in violation of the state law, which law, however, con- tains no penalty clause.
