 The main topic of interest in the town at the present time Is the spe- cial town meeting which Is to be held tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in the Town hall on Pierce street. Speculation is rife as to what the coming tax rate will be. In view or the increase in the grand list, many are of the opinion that the tax rate will not be any higher if as high this year as 1t has been in the past. but because of the fact that the select mems estimate of expenses for the 1 coming year has not yet been given out, no real information on the sub 1 feet has been secured. The select ment usually announce the estimate | of expenses for the coming year at the town meeting and explanations are given if they are necessary and the tax rate is fixed according to the amount Of money contained in the estimate. The figures of the grand list are taken into considera- ton and the tax rate is figured from this total. The board of relief has worked on the list and will have had all details concerning reductions and increases finished in plenty of time for the rate to be figured,
 Plainyilc has been fortunate in that it's tax rate has not been eX- horbitant for the past few years and property owners are hoping that if there is to be an increase this year, that the raise will not be large. Se- lectman James Simpson will open the meeting tomorrow night and all business proper 10 come before the meeting will then be taken up.
