 Plainville Briefs.
 The much discussed question of a new high school for Plainville will be brought before the voters of the town at a special town meeting to be held tonight at 8 o'clock in the town hall. The assembly will not be asked this evening to take action directly to secure a high school building, but will be asked to ap- point committee which will con- sider sites for building and also to appropriate sufficient money for the school committee to have sketches and plans Of suitable building drawn and submitted to them. It is planned to have the commit tee report at another town meeting to be held at a later date at which time the fireworks will probably start. A survey of the town is being made and every available site suit able for the needs of the town Is be- ing taken into consideration and the committee which will be appointed tonight will be asked to consider these and any others which the members of 1t might take under ads visement.
 If possible, it will be the plan of the members of the school commit tee to provide, as much as possible for the future of the town as well as the present. Judging from the growth of Plainville within the past 10 years, a building built for the present needs will be inadequate within a few years. This is consid- cred wise policy on the part of the members of the school committee, because although it will cost more at the present time, 1t will not result in great expense in few years more.
 No advance notices have been given out as to the most likely sites for the building. but 1t is expected that those which are most centrally located and in closest proximity to the sewer will be those which will be most favored.
 L. s. Mills, secretary of the school committee will present the final financial one as 1t will show in de- tail the actual cost of the various operations on the building. The re- port will also contain the amount of the bids on the various phases of the building, all of which will show the total cost of the building to be we'll within the appropriation of $70,0O0 made for the erection of the build ing.
 It is expected that large number of the voters will be present at to- nights session to listen to the argu- ments which will be presented for the erection of the high school and fully as much interest is being shown in this project as there was in the Linden street school building last year.
