 When Pleasure Car Hits Truck,
 Financial handicaps will probably make 1t impossible to bring about any immediate changes in the sewer and assessments systems of Plain vile, in the opinion of John J. Kim mel, republican nominee for first se lectman.
 MT. Kimmel believes that a change ln the present system Of assessment to one similar to that of New Brit ain would be practical but the ex- pense of establishing this system would be so great that the town could not afford to do ii. he said. i According to Mir. Kimmel the making of maps. charts and other l incidents together with the expense ! Of paying for a company which is an expert on assessment would amount to about s6,000. Then, ac- cording 10 MT. Kimmel. the system would not work efficiently unless the town had the services of a full time assessor to keep a daily check of property transfers and other i'm portant work which must be done at regular intervals by the depart ment if it is to function successfully. The added salary that would have to be paid the full time man. the expense of establishing the system, together with the salaries of the board of assessment would result in an expense too large to be handled by the towns appropriation, he believes
 Mir. Kimmel is also of the opinion that the installation of 8 sewer sys- tenn will have to be put off for some time sincI the money necessary for this is not on hand, and the possi- bility of getting some 10 take care of this needed improvement is re- mote.
 Since the new high school build ing is being constructed. most of the money borrowed through the sale of bonds will be taken up for some time. leaving the establishment of q sewer system to some future date.
