The adjourned town meeting will be

and IL is expected that the largest
number of taxpayers yet represented
at meeting will be present THE
great question of the evening to be
threshed out will be the tax-rate for
the coming year. This one question
has been the. topic of the town Tor
the past few weeks.
Since First FSelectman George b.
Carter stated that he thought - mills
would he the proper tax-rate for the
town, many taxpayers have ventured
their opinions. One said he thought
81 mill rate would be sufficient mas
much as ii would give the town n
little over sss.0O0. His figures were
based on the assessors valuation The
budget calls for approximately slI3-
600. $4,000 OF which to be raised by
taxes, the rest being granted the town
ny the state for schools and other pur-
poses.
Another prominent Kensinston
business man said that the taxpayers
couldn't do anything anyway. and the
best thing for them to do was to
swallow the pill which has been pre-
pared for them" Then again others,
I'm the Worthington fire district, recall
that they have been assessed an extra
four mill for the past four years for
the new lighting system which has
recently been installed as we'll as sun
dry other expenses which have risen.
Another item worth noting is that Of

Vt the town meeting tonight the
question of levying the tax rate will
be discussed. 1t appears for a GER
tainty that a 20-mill tax will be found
necessary inasE1uch as the expenses
of the town have increased to such
an extent that the present rate of
seventeen and one-half mills will
not be sufficient. The school expenses
have increased somewhat with the in
crease in teachers salaries. The
grand list, with an increase of some
s50S.569 over last years list, will not
be enough to meet the needs of the
town. The factories have done a
great deal towards aiding the burden,
and with new additions. have carried
heavy assessment. All factories put
together total the amount of about
s1.351,940
But few appeals were made to the
board of relief for reductions in the
valuations placed by the assessors,
and apparently the majority OF the
property owners were satisfied. Much
discussion is heard in regards to the
tax rate and its proba bility of being
20 mills. Many are of the opinion
that it is too high and some stiff arCu-
ments are expected at the meeting
tonight. The meeting will be called
at 1880 o'clock
The grand list has been reduced
conside rably by the board OF relief
