 Town Meeting Tonight
 Action on a request of the school board for the appropriation of s9s.- 900 for 8 12-room addition to the Linden Street school will be taken at special town meeting to be held in the High school auditorium at o'clock tonight. The proposal of the school committee has met with the approval of the town board of finance, and it is planned to fln- ance the addition by means Of Q bond issue. The terms of these bonds and the committee to look after their issue are to be fixed tonight.
 Five of the 12 rooms will be needed next fall, the school depart ment says. to take care of the grow ing population in the eastern end of the town. The new portion will contain a kindergarten. which has been lacking in the eastern section. The construction of the addition will be the same as that of the part af- ready built, and new portion being added on to the rear of one wing of the present structure.
 Some opposition to the addition has been reported among the towns people. Some fear that the expendi- ture will result in a larger tax rate. a very delicate subject in Plainville sity of addition accommodations out want a new school in the east and north of the railroad tracks. as was originally suggested by l.. s. Mills. former superintendent of schools. They claim children in the Trumbull avenue section must cross a main highway and the railroad tracks to reach the Linden street building and would prefer a building where this could be obviated.
 The school committee feels that its present plan is the most sensible and certainly the most economical of any scheme for enlarging school accomm odations here and is con- ] fdent that the addition will be voted. Pythian Sisters to Elect
