 With the annual town election only fiv' days away, but little inter- est is being manifested in it and there is no promise of any more fireworks than in the past. The re- publican caucus held two weeks aso created much more talk and excite mont than inc election itself. this uelhS du" mainly 10 the fact that the republican party is by far the majority one in TlaiNvillc and nom lnation of tho C.. O. r. ticket is vir tually equivalent to election. The democratic party has recognized this Of late by endorsing several re- publican candidates and hy not nom mating for certain offices
 This year Willis J. Hemircv7y Is again the candidate Of both parties for tax collector, although the demo- cratic endorsement of him is more q tribute to his work than an admjS- sion Of weakness. Eut the .rcffor- sonian party has named only oro man for thA several grand jurors berths and has no candidate opnos- ing ". ". Seymour for board cf r~- lief. The only real contest will he for the constahles' badges. where four democratic candidates are fight ing for three places

 Interest in Finance Board
 There is more interest in the 'arious business matters than in he election. The proposal of the i Chamber of Commerce. that T | inanc" board he established hora Is II he center of attention. Such a board 5 considered by the chamber to be cry desirable in Plainville. Ii U -ould be composed Of three reruh- U cans and three democrats. making u
 a non political body. with the VI own clerk as clerk. They would be ~ ion of sound financial juudgment. ', nd to them the various town de U, artments would submit their es- :" mates of expenses. They would len make recommendation to 1T 'Tn meeting. which would have -, 1e actual voice in the making of .; In this way the .o bard is merely an advisory body of \, iperts and does not take authority way from the voters. The only ac- ID 'al authority vested in the board n, ould he the laying of the tax on 1T, le grand list, and this would be he ercly a mathematical proposition .7 dividing the grand list by the es- mated expenses. h., There Is considerable interest in ov is proposition. although it is not ss lown whether popular sentiment is he
