Last night was an eventful one in the Industrial Bowling league. which rolled three matches at the Recre- ation alleys. The Standard Steel team. which was riding along serenely ill first place. was suddenly dumped and shut out by the fast. climbing Plainville Casting combin- ation. The latter team took all four points and cut the Bearing Makers lead to two games. In the third string the winners hit 540. Basso, Chester and Dave were all in great form. while Baker was the only Standard Steel bowler to pass the 800 mark.
 The American Legion took the expected four points from the ses- sions Clock crew but was given . close run in every string. Scores were low. The Businessmen and Peck Spring Go. battled to a draw. The first game was even and went to the Spring Makers when they took the second. Then the Busi- nessmen came back and hit the ex- ceptional and probably record total of S63 in the last string. thereby winning that and the pinfall. Mur- phy Sr.. Valentine, Pompey, Schur. and Cavanaugh all rolled we'll. Every Businessman was over 100 on the last string. The scores:

 Whatever we do, let ua do 1t from . standpoint of justice and not selfishness, 50 that the majority may profit by 1t and not the few which is generally the case.
 Experience"
 In regard to the previous article referred to by Experience" this had no connection whatever with any thing which an appraisal company might do. It merely stated that the increase in the grand list this year was sufficient to cover the proposed tll.500 appropriation without the necessity of raising the tax rate be- yond its present 25 mills. This rate, if levied on the presant grand list. would pay the expenses already in the budget and. in addition. for the proposed work of revaluation. The work of the revaluation committee would have no effect until next year.
 To Explain Revalaatiou
 The committee of seven appointed at the last town meeting have ar ranged to have . representative of an appraisal company at the office of the John Cook company. next to the post office, tomorrow. from 2 p. m. on into the evening. Aerial maps, work sheets. and record cards will be on display and information will be given to those interested con- corning the detailed work of an ap- praisal. The committee urges all who are not familiar with this work to take advantage of this opportun- ity to become familiar with 1t, as the question of a revaluation of the town will be voted upon at tho town meeting to be held Monday evening.
 Plainville Loses Again
 The Plainville entry in the Farm ington Valley league gave the Hart ford Knights of Lithuania another scare last night in a fast basketball game in the Capital City but was finally defeated by a 4o-so score. Plainville took the lead at the start and was in front for 15 minutes. but the Knights rallied and had q 1916 advantage at the half. The second half was another close battle but the Hartford team kept it's lead. Jasper and Arburr made 3l points of the locals total. The absence of LaHar was felt badly. S. Shimkus and Urban made some spectacular shots for Hartford. The summary:

Rev. Samuel A. Fiske Speaks at Bible Class Meeting-ChiIdren Catch, Pheasant Altve-Lcnten Seryices This Evening.

A special meeting Of the finance committee was held at the Town hall last evening at the request of tho school committee to discuss the purchase of a piece Of land situated in the rear of the Percival school.
 The piece of land in question has . peculiar shap and is formed like the letter V. Although it is not very large, it Is important to the town of Berlin. The land is 56 feet long on one side and 46 feet long on the other. The third side is four feet long. The land is owned by Mrs. Alice Nj. Chapman and at the pres cnt time is fenced in. The town of Berlin owns land next to the Per cival school and this little stretch of land separates 1t from the Percival school property. The school com- mittee was represented by Professor Stanley Galptn, Daniel Killarney and Robert Graham. Mir. Galpin present. cd the school committees report to the finance committee and recom- mended that the property be bought from Mrs. Chapman.
 Mrs. Chapman had the property surveyed a short while ago and is willing to sell it to the town of Ber- lin for $1S2. The school board holds an option on the land which expires March IS.
 The finance committee voted that it be recommended that the property be bought and with both the school and finance committees favoring the purchase, 1t is probable that a special town meeting will be called within the next two weeks to act on the matter. The finance commit tee was represented last evening by tho following: c. w. Stevens, R. O.. Clark, James Fitzsimmons. B. Moore and P. c. Hickey.
