SOLDIERS' EREMPTiflNS OF $16,502 f‘]ioflrd of Relulef Makes Reductions of Only $5,170—List of Dclinqucm Taxpayers Is Questioned—Wants Proof of Death in 1911, ~ Rev. L. 3ray, the venerable pas tor of the Rast Berlin Methodist church, has announced to his congre- ration that he will retire from the ministry at the expiration of his pres- ent term. He will preach his fare- well sermon on Easter Sunday. The Mtor is nearly 76 years old and it is big advanced age which causes him to make this decision. Following his retirement, the highly esteemed clergyman and his wife will take up thelr residence at New Hartford, N. Y.. a suburb of Utica, where he recently purchased a small home. It is with extreme regret that the East Berlin Methodis receive the news that their pastor will remain with them no longer. Rev. Mr. Gray was the local pastorate by Last conference held two year He had spent the two previou in retirement in New \York s the call of the ministry strong for the ambitious and it was with pleasure that he ac- cepted his appointment to 1sast Berlin. He 'succeeded Rev, 1muel Johy m, Who now hclds a pastorate in Water- ville, Conn. Before his first retirement, Rev. Gray held various pastorates in York state, the last one being in town of Lennardsville Although nothing definite is known &Y this time, it is probable that the New York HEast conference, - whose 1iext session is to be held in Brooklyn, April 7, will name Rev.

SOHE LISTS LOW, OTHERS HIGH Democratic Member of Relief Board Airs His Views on Report of the Assessors—DBusiness Men's Directors to Mcet—Pullano Goes to Jail. Claiming that all properties in town | were not placed on the grand list by the a ors for their full valuation, IFrank G. Osborne, democratic mem- ber of the board of relief, today de- clared that he will refuse to sign the | report that is to be submitted by that body to the state hoard of equalizi- tion. Mr. Osborne states that he can- not conscientiously aflix his signature to the document as he believes some of the property ‘has not been figured | on a hundred per cent bas: Mr. Osborne’s action will cause | something of a surprise, as it was gen crally believed that the relief practically approved of the assessors’ report. While it granted reductions of over $10,000, it was apparently very sparing in its use of the pruning knife, as the assessors had raised the grand | list over $241,000. | While claiming that seme of the | taxpayers were not put on the list for ‘ the full valuation of their holdings, i Mr. Osborne does not contend that the | total is too low. 1In fact he expresse the opinion that in many cases the sessors ‘‘rubbed it in" to the property owners. There were but forty com- plaints filed with the relief board, although the lists of nearly three hun- dred had been raised. This condition, Mr. Oczhorne scems to believe, was due | to a conviction on the part of many of | those affected that the prospects of | relief were too remote to warrant | their appearing before the board. Many of taxpayers who were inelud- | ed in raised list, complained in person | to members of the board, Mr. Osborne ? declares, but they failed to show up | at a regular meeting to formally reg- | ister a protest. Consequently no action | was taken in thelr cases. From sev- | eral who appeared,- the democratic | member declares, there board | | | | | i | i | | was criticism | made coricerning the presence of As-| sessor E. A. Freeman at the hear- ; ings. Mr. Freeman attended all the open meetings of the board and was greatly interested in the protests that were filed. Some of the complainants declared that his presence was un- called for and served to intimidate property owners who thought they had a grievance. . Asked why the relief board did not | ai the lists of taxpayers property he figured had not bec valued on a hundred per cent bas Mr. Osborne said the members had taken the advice of Chairman Condell, who explained that it was out of theirn jurisdiction, they simply having the legal right to equalize valuations. | Otherwise the democratic representa- tive on the board thought there were | to be some substantial increases noted | in the report. | To illustrate his point Mr. Osborne | today cited onc case that had heen | brought to the attention of members of the board. A certain piece of prop- | erty was valued by the assesors at | $1,400, a figure which Mr. lvshmno‘ thought was too low. Yesterday the owner refused an offer of $2,600 for the place and declared he would not | sell it for less than $3,000, more than twice as much as the assessors had | figured it. Mr. Osborne states such cases as the once cited impress him with the conviction that the as- | sessors figured some property entirely | too high while in other instances they were far below a hundred per cent. basis in their method of calculating. For that reason he intends to decline signing a report in which the reliet board must declare to the state board | of equalization that property in Plainville is on the grand list for ! its | full valuation, onc hundred per cent. The other two members of the | board are republicans. They are | A. H. Condell and W. J. Simpson. ‘Whether or not their signatures \\'Hl‘ be on the report, Mr. Osborne pro- fessed ignorance this morning. | Directors to Meet, ie board iness and will meet rooms in There are a routine ered.
