In response to the Defenco Department's ref]iiest, tho Gonville Town Board decided to do all in its power to assist defence training in tho way of placing halls, etc., nt the disposal of the military authorities as soon as the requirements of the latter ore made known. Indication of the continued progress of Gonville is contained in a statement mnO.o by the chairman of the Town Board last night to the effect that, since tho last valuation four years ago, Ihe values had so increased that, if they were readjusted now, it would mean an increase of 25 per cent, in the board's revenue.
