vot' oa Rcvaluatiua


 4 vote on the complete revalua. ton of all taxable property in Plain- ville by . firm of experts will he taken at . special town meeting which will be held in tho High school auditorium at o'clock to- night. The committe, Of lx ap- pointed by he selectmen to investi- gate this matter will report favoTa- bly, and will ask the naming Of . committee of seven men and the ap- propriation of 3ll.5oO to carry out the work.
 The committee believes. from what t has found in its investiga- tions. that this expenditure will be more than offset by the discovery of property not now listed and by the fixing of more equal values. There are many in the town who do not believe this to be the case. and these predict that there will be hot battle over tho proposal. The question of property values at this moment is the major topic of con- versation in Plainville, and an un- usually large attendance is expected tonight. 1t was for this reason that the selectmen secured the high school auditorium instead of using the smaller court room in the town hall.
