| Mrs. Ethel Eliot Robindoux, wife Of Samuel Robindoux of S7 East street died yesterday afternoon at St. Fran cis hospital in Hartford following an operation on Wednesday for appcn- dicitis. She had been admitted to ! the institution on Tuesday. She was one of the most popular young ma irons of the town, being about 36 years of age, and had lived in Plain vile for number of years. She was an active member Of the Episco- pal church and only last week had been elected to the office Of assistant secretary to the Womans Auxiliary of the church. Her death, because of her robust condition. comes as d shock to her large circle Of friends and neighbors.
 She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Eliot of Meriden, her husband Of Plainvile and three brothers, Will liam and Joseph Eliot of ForestNlle and John Eliot of New Britain.
 The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at . o'clock at the church Ol llur SdAlOuT. IAtA. btpi Et ili- ton. rector, will offieiate. Burial will be in the Meriden cemetery.
 Raic May Be Lower.
 The tax rate for plainNille may be lowered this year according to the grand list as compiled by the board of assessors. This however, is de- pendent on the action of the board Of relief in the matter of appeals from property owners who feel that they have been assessed too high,
 The amount of the budget this year is slfO,OO0, which is s4,ooo lower than the sum last year, sil5,0o0. The tax rate last year WAS 9 mills and according to the grand list this year. at the present time, the tax rate figures s3 mills.
 This also rests upon tine school committee a great deal because 1T the committee is able to keep within the appropriation already made for the new building and for the expenses of tho schools for the coming year, the rate will surely be lowered. This year the school money will go direct to the school committee and will not be turned into the town treasury and for this reason, the same amount of money will have to be raised as was collected last year through taxation.
 The board of relief will start it's slttings on February l although past years are takei. as criterion for the statement that the grand list will not be greatly changed. nothing definite will be known until the board has finished its work.
