 The practice of personally appear '"s oetofe the assessors each year and swearing to the cor rectness of the lists in their hands may be rendered unnecessary If q plan which has already been preached Is carried to completion. There Is a movement under foot to have the Plainville representative in the next general assembly offer c bill making 1t no longer necessary for taxpayers here to appear in person before the assessors each fall.
 In past years 1t has been not only required by law but made necessary by lack of records that each prop erty owner come before the assessors when they have been compiling the preliminary data for the grand list Between one year and the next there was no check kept on what property changed hands, what new houses were built, or any other phase of property Aux. so that the only way the assessors could ind out what leach person owned was to obtain a personally sworn statement from him.
 The revaluation committee has changed all this by installing per- manent records and & paid expert assessor to keep them up to date by recording changes whenever they occur. Now the assessors have cor rect lists of just what is owned by each taxpayer. and the appearance or the property owner before the board Is a mere formality. when each merely takes the perfunctory oath that the list is correct. This year 1t is still necessary to go through the custom which has now been made hollow, but it is planned to offer a bill to the as- sembly making personal appearance unnecessary. This step has already been taken in New Britain and oth- CT places, and the new system is working out we'll. with a saving of time for assessors and property owners alike and with no loss of correctness in the records.
 Making Last Voters
 The selectmen today were engag- ed in making the last batch of vot- CTS which will be eligible to vote at the coming national election, but the rush was not so great as a week ago. Last Saturday 40 applicants appeared during the first hour, but at 10:30 o'clock this morning, after an hour and a half of work, the selectmen had made only 23 addi- tional electors. Special efforts were expected to be made by the parties this afternoon and it was thought that there might be somewhat of an increase in the slow trickle of new voters.
 l The selectmen today warned all ! those wishing to be made" that to- | day is the last day when they can take the oath. The selectmen will be in session until o'clock tonight. or the first 23 new voters of the day. 20 registered as republicans and only three as democrats. Rag 2O-losind Coon Addison Ives.
