It is mew up to the. citisens of ‘ New Britain to decide whether thett tAX rate for 1917-1918 will be 10.8 « saillls or 30.5 mills or more or less, But the board of finance and taxation At its final meeting last evening voted to recommand a tax rate of 20.5 mills for the coming year. In order to keep the tax rate as Iow as that the Board had to slash expected appro- mum of the various departments 4 milk station mo ‘street lghts $2,000; strest sprinkling: $1,000; permanent )-vlul. 111; fire department $11, department $7,593; inter- I.lln-n $4,90%; dbond ents New Britin lnnnuu $2,000; Wnlaut Hill Park $1, state ‘tax . 88.000; county ncu,ow. south end 000; x«w’ Britain hospital . §5,000, (including for l-'u-an,. i ‘total'$140,786: | Departasont, | Oriticizes. .

Argument as “to space to locate the additional piece of motor apparatus without a new station was stopped when Mayor Quig- ley called Captain Willlam Porter of Engine company No. 2 and learned that there i room at this station for ‘another piece of apparatus. In the next heated argument of the evening it was again Judge Gaffney and Mr. Humphrey who were pitted against each other, although eventu- ally almost the entire board joined-«n with the medley of voices, supporting the arguments of Mn Humphrey. In | the salary mccount Chairman F. 8. i Chamberlain explained that antiel- pating some possible action whereby the common council may fix the sal- ary of the building inspector-at $2,- 500, that figure had been included. Judge Gaffney objected on the ground that the finance board has mno right to fix salaries and also no right to an- ticipate such. Mr. Humphrey said 'it was not the plan to fix the salary, but to merely supply a sufficient sum in the treasury to pay it if it is named. Nsv BRITA!N DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY MARCH n‘ to17.

Bee if tongue is coated; this is sure sign its little stomach, liver and can’t In this he was supported by the |. board, but the genial judge was not convinced and insisted that the prin- ciple of the idea was entirély wrong. The New Britain Geéneral hospital asked for $2,000, but was granted $2,~ 500, partly because it had not re- ceived any increased appropriation in many years and also because the management had intimated that with money for its upkeep, the institution may be able to get an ambulance of its own. A careful perusal of .the tables printed In connection with that article will show exactly what amounts were asked and what were' recommended, thereby making it evi- dent just what items were cut down " by the finance board. Think Assessment System Wrong. - Before 'the adjournment = Mayor Quigley called attention to the steadily increasing tax rate and blamed much of it on the present system of assess- ment. . In this the board = concurred. Mayor Quigley #a4d that two years ago ‘the charter. revision committee made plans for a revision of the as- sessment board, but one of the local representatives changed the wording of the bill and the measure did not become a reality. “What we need is . two cracking good real estate men on that board, and they should devote their entire time to it,” the mayor sald. ] “Yes, we need a couple of good real estate men at about $2,500 m.' i+ Fred Beloin said. “No, $3.600. each,” the mayor nll Mr. Beloint did not agree with 'that figure as he thought' neither of the assessors would have any more work to do than the building inspector. “Why, I'll bet two good real estste men ‘could go out tomorrow morning and raise $5,000,000,” said the'mayor. “Why, of course,”. ' 'Dr. Martin agreed, “and in that way cut down the tax rate instead of having to jack it | 4 nbnlm | that there is a great weakness in the | present system of ‘taxing real estate, i but the greatest evil to his mind is the_ ‘aystem of taxing personal property. The mayor agresd and ventured the opinion that New Britain's citizens in their private property and bank ac- | counts have a valuation totalling $8,- 000,000. Judge Gaffney would not |p\lt the figure as high as that, but. thoughit there is hundreds of thou- sands of doliars worth of personal property that is not taxed. ‘Speaking of the probable grand list loss in the way of real estate ix us- sessed Mayor Quigley said he knows ' of one Main street ‘block whre the owners have refused to sell for $50,- /000 more. than it is assessed for, To {whow that oftimes property is Tated 106 high he told of another block cost- ng 328,000 which 1s assessed ‘for $80,000. " . Edward N. mlay. treasurer of the | Savings Bank of New Britain, said that any Intelligent real estats man will admit that New Britain property 'Il not assessed to within one-third or | ona—quamr of what its selling price Al-ln speaking of the vast amount. of personal property that is not taxed, Num;fl Judge Gaffney declared that “the per- sonal property list has got to be over- hauled.” He.then pointed to Mr. Be- loin and laughingly said: “There Fred, you've got & big dlamond in your bosom now. - Are you paying. hxu on e . “I certainly am—on one of them. The other I keep to raise money on,” | the hqtel man laughed. The total revised income of the city is now listed at $197.36 The city treasury shows an unusually fine ! halance of $36,000. A tax of sixteen and one-quarter mills in the first dis- trict will provide an income of $79: 288.36, and a rate of four mills in second zone will provide $187,661. more. The miscellaneous income ¥ | school meets at 12:15 p. m., and rections for .babies, children of. all ages and for grown-ups piainly on the /bottle. Remember there are counter- feits sold here, so surely look and see’ that yours is made by the “California #f1g Byrup Company.” Hand back with contempt any other fig g the first zone is $154,110 and $44,260 in the second. ‘Where the Cut Comes. The estimated’ income, instead of being $174,480, has been fixed at $198,360 by the finance board, di- vided into ‘1“.110 in the first taxing district and $44,260 31, mfinfl. $1,400 off the stationery and writing material fund, $1,500 off | the miscellaheous fund and $1,000 off the trade school fund. The heaith de- partment asked $17,580 and will re- ceive $17,680. The sum of $100 was chopped off the disinfectants item and another $100 from the office and la- boratary fund. An additional sum of $850 for the milk station was sub- stituted. In the street department the appropriation ‘is set at $111,400 in- stead of 180,110 as asked. The ftems pruned were $500 off the clean- ing ¢atch basins account, $1,300 off [cobble and concrete gutters, $500 off the sum for care of trees, $200 from the automoblile repairs account, $12.- 185 oft the grading account and $6,000 off the new macadam account. Of the entire street fund the first district is taxed for $96,500 and the second district for $14,900. The state high- way fund was cut $1,500 and the cut down $700, making the board of pub- lic works’ appropriaion $95,000 in- stead of $98, ‘The fire recetve $79,836 instead of $111,49 This was M poseible by the following cuts: ry account, $6,765; dml npdn, suoz ‘bullding, repairs, $3.8! $ w lm' 11,1 b A police department appro- of $75,503 agauinst $79,792 instesd of $60,200. The Town Home was reduced $1,000, the outside poor account was cut $1,000 and a cut of $1,800 was made in the account for and asylums. The sum of $1,000 was sliced from the Institute account and $12,427 from the Walnut Hill Park account. Advertised Letters.
