 The work of revaluation has been commenced. The equalization of property and the fixing of new values was voted at special town meeting on February :7 and com mittee appointed then subsequently awarded the contract to the Manu- facturers' Appraisal Co. of Phla- delphia. A representative of this concern is now at work appraisine the local manufacturing plants, the selectmen announced this morning. The man is an erpert in industrial values and has done this type of work I in all parts of the country. It is expected that it will take him about two weeks to complete his survey Of the factories.
 When this Is completed other rep- resentatives of the Philadelphia con- cern will commence the task of re- valuing the commercial establish ments and private dwellings in ac- cordance with the fixed scale of values used by the company. This will probably occupy most if not all Of the summer. and the company has agreed to complete its labors by October l.
 The employment of an industrial expert has somewhat quieted the rumors that the work might be done by inexperienced men.
 Wrestling Match Called On |! A heavyweight wrestling match for the commercial championship of Plainville fell through last night and the sporting fraternity of the town .s dejected. Carl Crampton, the big bone man. was tAe unsuccessful matchmaker. and it was hardly his fault that the bout did not ma terialize.
 Yesterday he matched Ted La Bonnc. manager of the Economy store, with Byron Tredo. manager of | IuC "s ~ oLOJN oli W AAAAsh6 tH' 'f for wrestling affair 10 be staged in Central square last evening. There was to be bet of $40 side. La Bonne furnished half of his own backing, and Mickey. Levine and Charley Meyerowitz provided the balance. Armed with this, Champ ton entered the Treado store. He I soon emerged with another $40. raised by Treado and his help. Then IaBonne is said to have "welched." for he returned Treado's 1 money. The bout was then de- clared of. in spite of the protests of Ia Donne's own packers. The golden' voiced manager of the Economy store, however, would not change his stand, although he said hc would meet Treado in a friendly bout for no money. It is believed he was afraid accepting money would rule him out of the Industrial baseball league. His later plan. however, has not yet materialized.
