Decision governing the recent case of the estate of Thomas Emer- son versus the Town of Berlin, an appeal for assessment reduction, was hantled down by Judge Nicker- son of the superior court in Hart- ford yesterday afternoon to Judge Bernard F. Gaffney who, through his son, Attorney Donald Gaffney represented the town at the hear- ing. Judge Nickerson ruled ‘that the assessment levied by the board of rellef on the Emerson property was a falr one and upheld the town. The decision followed a recess of two weeks after the plaintift had elosed his case with the claim that the assessment placed on the prop- erty was exorbitant and unfair. Judge Nickerson’s memorandum follows: “The applicant claims to be ag- grieved by the action of the board of reliet of the town of Berlin in placing the property of the estate of Thomas Emerson in the Iist for taxation at $25,000. It is alleged and claimed by the applicant that the fair market value of all the land is no more than $10,000. “It i3 admitted by the pleadings that the estate, of which the ap- plicant is administrator, was on October 1st, 1925, the owner of said property in sald town, consisting of land and buildings; that the board of assessors increased the valuation of the land from $4,085 to $43,600 end made increases of other items in the assessment list; that the ap- plicant duly appealed from the ac- tlon of the board of assessors to the board of reltef who reduced the as- sessment of the land from $43,600 to $25,000. The remaining allega- tlons are denied. “The first question presented 1s whether the applicant has been ag- grieved by such action of the board of rellef as must result in his pay- ment of an unjust and therefore practically fllegal tax. Wilcox v. Madison, 103 Conn. 150. “Whether the applicant has been aggrieved is a judicial question and must be determined in the affirma- tive before the power to grant re- Hef is to be exerclsed by the court. “The list presented by the appli- eant did not comply with the re- quirements of the statute. How- ever, the assessors accepted it and the conclusions reached regarding the value of the property make it unnecessary to further consider fit. “Much of the testimony regard- ing the value qf the land was based upon a front foot valuation building lot purposes. Too much stress was laid upon its value for such purposes. “The statute provides that ‘lands and separate lots, except house lots, shall be set in the list at their aver- age present and actual valuation by the acre.’ Gen. Stat. sec. 1183. “In this case the land exists as & whole and should be taxed as such. In determining its taxable value per acre its value may be cstimated in view of its suitability for use d4s house lots and its value for such use may be thus legally established. Wilcox v. Madison, 108 Conn. 155, ““The town of Berlin by a vote ap- for | button 18 year olds, roomy at years, prices $6.00 « $8.98 GIVE HIM SHIRTS He'll like nothing better, and can’t have enough of them $1.00.a$1.25 $1.00 pointed a committee to revalue the property within its Ilimits. That committee met, employed experts and made a valuation of all the property, including that of the ap- plicant, in said town which it re- ported to the town. The assessors evidently followed the action of such committee and adopted their values of property. “This appeal is, and must be taken from the action of the board of re- ll»al. Gen, Stat. 1240. “There is no allegation that the board of relief adopted or used any rule other than that prescribed by | statute. Such board upon the ap- peal of the applicant from the do- ings of the assessors, reduced the amount of assessment upon the land to $25,000. “The applicant alleges that the falr market value of the land is no more than $10,000. That is denied by the respondent. “The present.true and just value of the land considering all purposes for which it is adapted is $25,000. | At that sum it should be taxed. “The result of the action of the | board of rellef in reducing the amount of assessment to $25,000 does not result in requiring the pay- ment by the applicant of any un- Just or {llegal tax. “Such being found the {ssues up- on the application are found for the respondent. “The appeal i3 dismissed with costs to the respondent.” Lyceum Elects Officers About 80 men attended the sup- per glven by the Men's Lyceum at the Kensington Congregational church last evening. A roast beef supper was served and Rev. S8amuel A. Fiske talked concerning his travels abroad. He dwelt on the |social and economic conditions ex- |isting abroad today and was well received by the gathering. Lyman E. Hall was chosen as president of the organization for the coming year, H. H. Raymond was elected first vice-president with G. E. Green and A. L. Moffatt as sec- ond and third vice-presidents re- spectively, H. W. Upson was elect- ed secretary and Willlam Emerson | was chosen treasurer. The literary | committee consists of Rev. Vernon L. Phillips, T. W. Emerson and H. |H. Raymond. The membership com- mittee was elected as follows: P. G. | Baker, A. G. Johnson, John Hart, A, L. Moffatt, William Emerson. Future actlvities were planned among which is a debate to take |place early in January. Members want it emphasized that the Men's Lyceum is not confined to the Ken- sington Congregational church but is open to any resident of Kensing- ton who is interested in the organi- zatlon. Belng one of the very few bonds with which Kensington men are kept in close touch with each other, the Lyceum has always been a popular organization with Xen- singtoniana, I Counterfeit Bill Counterfeit currency made its ap- pearance in Kensington this morn- Ing when Giana & Ronketty accepted a ten dollar blll for face value. Upon examination it was found that the bill had been ralsed to a $100 | back had been left untouched. The work was crudely done and the in- completed change made detection simple upon examination. The bill, being mutllated, is not acceptable as a $10 note and must be turned into : the treasury for a relssue, i Want Highway Markings With a view towards eliminating the gonstant menace to motorists at the intersection of Berlin street and the Middletown road, the suggestion has been made that the highway be marked so that Middletown traffic and incoming traffic follow lanes simllar to those marked out in Suede Leather Lumberjacks, 6 to ~ $10.50 note on the face of it although the: $5.50 fine grade skins, cut | It has been further suggested that a white line commence at Hudson street and continue around the curve to a point 30 feet down the hill. The need for this is shown by the fact that the fence on the Galpin prop- erty has received considerable pun- ishment from motorists who swing | into it to avold accidents.

A representative of the Bristol Visit- ing Nurse association appeared for the defense and asked that the or- ganization, which she represented, be allowed a little more time to see it the troube could not be eradi- cated. It appears that Mrs. Wheeler went to a neighbor's home last evening and when she returned home later than usual, her husband started to beat her.

NTARIO'S LIQUOR TRADE AT STAKE Province Will Yote Tomorrow on “Wet or Dry” Issae Toronto, Nov. 30.—(#—Whether Ontario shal remain dry or whether a government commission shall be appointed to handle the sale of liquor and beer is the issue facing the electorate in general elections which are to be held tomorrow. Premier G. Howard Ferguson, conservative, is asking the electorate to return him to power on a plat- form which would do away with the on doctors’ pre- scriptions and set up a government commiission to control the sale of alcoholie heverages. The liberals are oposing him. At the present time Ontarie fa one of the four dry provinces in the dominion where prescriptions gre required legally in the purchase ef | intoxicants. Beer of 4.4 per cent al- coholic content by weight s sold openly in Ontarfo but this is not re- garded as intoxicating when the law authorizing its sale was passed. And Premier Ferguson hag stated that it he is returned to office he will res quire that beer, as well as spirits, be sold through government stores. The poor man's rights would be protected by the government seeing that he would be able to secure a bottle of beer at actual cost through a government agency.
