Ordinarily this would not have disturbed marin- ers, inasmuch as the breakers that almost constantly sssault the high promontory give out ample warning. But the sea that evening was so still there was not a wave to sound the petil of the rocks, and the H-3 ran snugly hetween two huge boulders. All day.yesterday the submarine clung fast to its berth, despite the ef- forts of the tender Cheyenne to ‘pull it out. 'Late in the afternoon, how- ever, the sea began to rise. A sudden swell lifted the vessel and'at the same instant the Cheyenne’s line ' taut- ened. The sudden jerk pulléd the clear and threw it against anothner rock, turing it on its side. .From the almost ' perpendicular decks, five of the crew slid into the water. = Two could not swim, but ropes were tossed to them, and in a few minutes all were back on board. The H-3 was quickly pulled into open water, with injuries, if any, of a minor character. ‘When the Cheyenne, with the H-1 and the H-2, resumed the trip to San Francisco, it was not the H-3 that the tender took in tow, but the H-1, which had developed a broken bear- ing.

Plainvllle News GRAND LIST ‘B00ST WON'T AFFECT TOWN State Tax Now Based on Town Expenses, Freeman Hears ‘ “SOREHEADS” ‘ARE BLAMED § Grand List Total Was High Enough to Bar Town from State Aid for Average Attendance at Schools Any. way—Officials to Have Vacation. E. A. Freeman, chairman of thg board of assessors, has received assur- ance from Comptroller M. C. Webster that new laws enacted by the general assembly at its last session will nullify as far as additional taxes is concerned; the action of the state board of equali- zation'in'raising Plainville’s grand list $150,000." According to the comptroll- er, the raise will make no change in the amount the town will have to pay to the stafe in taxes, new laws making the method of computing the share of the state’s expense to be paid by each from that Under the old order of things the | town’s tax paid to the state wes based on the grand list total, whereas he new law provides that it shall be cal- culated according to the amount each place spends for current expenses and any improvements which the officials or voters may order during the year. Comptroller Webster indicated = in his talk with the local assessor that the state board’s object was to pre- vent the drain on the treasury which results from towns drawing for school expenses. Under the old law towns which had grand lists, the total of which did not exceed $2,500,000, were entitled to money from the state, pro- viding the average attendance at he schools was kept up to a certainh fig- ure. The legislature this year changed the statutes so only towns with tax- able property worth less than $2,000,- 000 will get ‘any of this appropriation. As the grand list of Plainville al- ready exceeded $2,000,000 when the state board tacked on' the increase, the town was outside of the charmed ciréle, with no prospects of state aid for average attendance in the schools. Consequently Assessor Freeman un- derstands it, the raise will have no effect on this town. It will pay a tax to state according to is expenses, he grand list total making no difference | in the amount which the comptroller will expect to receive. With other local officials Chairman Freeman was surprised and indignant when he heard of the action of the state board. -‘He considered the_ in- crease an imposition as the property of the town was already on the list for its full market value. He understood that the “boost” was made after cer- tain Plainville individuals (the names were not disclosed by the state board) had advised the tax commissioner’s office that there was property. here that was not listed on the basis of 100 per cent. valuation. The state board's local informants he characterized as ‘“soreheads,” who were probably dis- pleased with the action of the local assessors in increasing their lists this year. i The assessors made a number of raises after a very careful investiga- tion of conditions and while they be- lieved that all were justified they con- cluded that the limit was reached on property valuations as shown by 'the grand list and there wag no occasion for another “boost” by the state board. Mr. Freeman expects to confer with members of the board of equalization regarding the matter to satisfy his curiosity as to what basis was used in making the raise. He is satisficd from Comptroller Webster’s ‘intérpre- tation of the new laws, however, that the increase will not affect the amount which the town will have to pay to the state in taxes. Court to Have Vacation. Justice A. H. Condell’s court, which has been kept busy for several weeks, today went out of business tempo- rarily, Justice Condell and the prose- cutor, Stanley S. Gwilllm, having de- cided to leave the operating of the wheels of justice to other officials for two weeks. They will leave tomor- row for the Thousand Islands, where they will spend their vacation. Since Justice Condell and Grand Juror Gwillim went into office there has been more business in the courts than for any corresponding period in several years. All of Constable Mar- ino’s cases have been turned over to them. As Marino is the town’s regular pa- trolman he has made a major portien of the arrests, the other officers nab- bing lawbreakers but occasionally. Prosecutor Gwillim is the only grand juror having made uot war- rants for autoists who failed to have their lamps burning when they passed through here. Grand Juror Norton has not committed himself on what cdurse he will pursue should 'com- plaints concetning vielations of the light law be made to him during the absence of the other officials. Prepares to Bring Suit. Judge W. F. Henney of Hartford is making arrangements to start litiga- tion against the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company in an effort to get a cash settlement for damage to the town’s highways which, it is alleged, resulted from the wholesale killing of trees by gas a few years ago.

Property owners in front of whose places trees were killed have been compensated by the company, which has always beengput to an expense of several thousand’ dollars as a resnlt of the gas leakage. Attorney Neble E. Pierce, the com- pany’s lawyer, was here last evening to confer with Dr. J. N. Bull regard- ing a settlement of the damage he sus- tained by the loss of a shade tree on his property. While the tree was lo- cated in an area where several elms and maples died a short time after the leaks in the mains were discovered, it kept alive until now. The company, it is understood, is satisfied that its death was due to the poisoning of the soil, and it has agreed to settle for it. 'To Tlave Open House.
