Considerable interest Is being worked up in both Plymouth and Thomaston in regards to the spe- cial town meeting in Thomaston, tc-morrow evening at which time the voters of the Clock Town will be given an opportunity of voting whether they want a board of finance in that town.
 Tn practically every argument which Is being given in Thomas ton in favor of the board of finance reference is being made to the board of finance which was forced upon the voter of the Town Of Plymouth by the legislature after the town voters had voted against such proposition.
 In Thomaston the voters are be- ing given the understanding that the board of finance has proven q great benefit in Plymouth. maybe it has in some matters, but in all matters 1t has not proven satisfac- tory to the local voters.
 One of the arguments which is being given to Thomaston voters at the present time is that the board of finance here is successful
 
 town, as they have promised to set the tax rate at their monthly meet ing this evening and which they state will be three mills less thls year than last years 25 mill tax.
 Many of the officials claim that the economical operation of town affairs is the real cause of the big cut in the tax rate. but if records are looked at, 1t is the federal gov ernment and no one else which has brought about the reduction here.
 The federal government throueh It's EZRA activities here which are giving employment to nearly 100 people each week and the furnish ings of federal commodities through the local community store are the big reason for the saving of the past year.
 The board of finance has also done away with the town meetings of the town with six members of the board now having more power to carry on the town affairs than the entire group of tax payers may do.
 That the board of finance is not as popular here as residents of Thomaston are being given to be- 1ieve is the fact that the taxpayers of the town at a town meeting. IS months ago refused to accept the annual report of the town as sub mitted by the board of finance.
 A number of local residents are planning to attend the town meet ing in Thomaston and there is no doubt but what several local vot- CTS will be called upon to express their views of the board of finance
