GRAND LIST TOTAL TO BE ABOUT SAME Factory Values Decrease
 Higher Tax Rate May Result AUTO ITEM TO BE LARGER
Local Sport Fans Want Ono Fast Team-Colmial Fair at Cmgrega-
 tionhl Parish House Church

Another increase In the tax rate or considerable advance in the cvaluations Of property all along the line is 10 be expected if a cursory glance over the tax returns, the time limit for filing which expired Tues day, IS to be believed. While the board oi assessors has not yet begun It's real work of placing values on the property on which returns were total Of the grand list this year will not be much in excess of, and may be somewhat less than, that ot las year it tho same general basis of eNaluati0n is used,
 No large increases are expected. and several lists are believed 10 have decreased in value. This will be felt particularly among the large tax payers, where there have been sev- eral decreases in value during the current year. The sale of the Bris- 1 tol Mfg. Co. and the change in char i acter Of the use of the buildings ! will entail a similar evaluation. The closing of the Erwin Hills factory ! and the sale Of the Colonial Brass 1 works are expected 10 have similar results. IL Is not believed that those factories still in operation will show as large values as they did last year i,1t ( | made in the case of the Plainvill. Casting Co. The largest increase wil probably be in the property of thu Sequasson Corp. which has com plcted it's new building during th' year.
 Dwellings are thought to be abou the same as a year ago. 4 notice able increase in the number of gar ages, confirmed by the building in spector's granting Of many permit. for this type Of structure, will meal more automobiles and increase thi feature Of the grand list
 Urge One Strong Team
 It has been suggested by impar tial observers Of sports here tha the reason for the poor showing 0 local teams is their Kilkenny ca attitude of killing each other. Fo many years it has been the practice to have more than one team repre- |, scnting the town In any given sport and these teams have stolen eacl others players throughout the sea son. Such practices have left team so weakened that they have had t bring in outsiders 10 bolster them selves up again, and thls is beiieVet to detract from tho interest takcI hy the fans.
 The suggested solution for thi situation is the hnryins of all pas differences and the uniting of al factions In the formation Of on' team for each sport. This tean would be composed Of the best play CTS in the town and would be abl' : 10 present much stronger iron than any Of the factional teams Such a scheme as this would leav' a large number of players off th' "hig' team, but these could then b' formed into another combination 0 lighter weight or lower caliher ant could play against teams Of thei own ability while the big teaH ) met the fastest aegregations Of tn state on even terms.
