CITIZENS ID HEAR
 ASSESSMENT TALKS Meetings Will Be Held in Ken
 sin6ton on Friday Evening UNDER WILL BE SPEAKER
An Keusington Team Leads in Bowl tnS Field-Fmeral of Mrs. Mc- IAughlfn-Bus Line Vehicles to Rum Express-Items of Interest,

4 meeting of the reassessment question will be held in Foresters hall, Kensington. on Friday evening, January 30. at 8 o'clock. it was an- nounced today by First Selectman George B. Carter, who has complet- cd negotiations for the hall.
 The speakers on this occasion will be Appraisal Engineer Thomas J. Under and Edward Mccarthy of New Britain. the two experts who conducted the interesting meeting on the same question, which was held recently in the town hall. Ber- lin street. MT. Linder and Mir. Me- Carthy will describe the system of revaluation as 1t has been applied to New Britain and other towns and will answer any questions residents may wish to propound.
 It was thought, at first, that Ken sIngton residents would not have a chance to hear the explanation of this idea. as some difficulty was en- eountered in securing a hall. The reassessment committee has investi- gated the matter fully and has de- cided that the townspeople should be given a chance to become in- formed on the question which has aroused so much interest in town.
 Will Run Express Buses
 An announcement was made by the Connecticut company today to the effect that busses will run ex- press between Central Square, New Britain, and Jacobs Corner. Ken sington. between the hours of 11:35 a. m. and 1885 p. m. and 3;35 p. m. and 6:15 p. m., beginning tomorrow.
 This step, it Is thought, will re- lieve congestion on the line, as far as the New Britain end is concerned. Trolley cars will be run between New Britain and Jacobs corner. The company requests that all pa irons of the line, having as their destination any place between these points, use the trolley cars, as no stops will be made by busses be- tween these points during the time mentioned.
 It is expected that congestion dur ing the rush hours may be elim- mated, through the employment of trolley cars at certain times each day.
 Will Receive Complaints
 F. o. Shjerden and Lucius Taylor of Berlin, appointed members O. a committee by the traffic bureaA of the New Britain Chamber of Gom- merce, to represent this town, will receive any complaints regarding the bus line between Berlin and New Britain, which citizens may wish to make.
 MT. Shierden stated today that it Is not the purpose of the committee or its representatives to act in op- position to the Connecticut com pany. Complaints will be investi- gated and steps taken to have con- ditions changed. IL is hoped that. in this manner, conditions may be made more satisfactory to all con- cerned. Cooperation is the key note, said Mir. Shjerden.
 The committee is working under the direction of the traffic bureau and will investigate the possibilities Of running moro busses on the line,

FRENCH CABINET
CRISIS AVOIDED
Caillaux Meets Part of
Socialists Demands
on Finance Plan
nv The Associated Press. }

PARIS, June 5.-The cobinet crisis,
apparently threatened earlier today
seemed postponed later when Finance
Minitser Caillaux partially surrendered
to the socialists attack upon his finan-
cial program
The attacks were conducted by Form
er Minister Louis Loucheur and by so
cialist leaders at peace conference
with the government and the left bloc
Of the chamber, called by Premier Pain
leve, to harmonic opposition to the Gail
laux financial program.
At first the attitude of Mr.. Loucheur
and the socialists seemed irreconcilable
with that of NJ. Caillaux. The impasse
was maintained during the greater part
of three hour discussion but finally
when M. Loucheur took the floor the
finance minister weakened somewhat
ard comprised.
NJ. Caillaux. insisted that the bal
ancing of the budget came first, while
NJ. Loucheur and the socialists main
tanned that financial reforms must pre-
cede budget equilibrium. NJ. Caillaux,
however, emphatically rejected the So
cialists' demand for capital levy.
One of Mr.. Caillaux' main arguments
was that 'the United States is just
now greatly interested in our sitA
alton" and that the best way to secure
a satisfactory settlement of Frances
debt to the United States would be for
France to balance her budget and even
| to make her receipts exceed expend-
itures.
| NJ. Caillaux after hearing the argu-
ments of NJ. Loucheur, agreed to bal
ance the budget ard to rehabilitate :
| French simultaneously. This "rehab:li-
tation" although described in general
terms, was taken to mean the inaugur-
alton of various measures leading to the
refunding of the internal debt and the
stabilizaton of the franc,
