Trumbull as a passenger. Despite the damage to his plane Lieutenant Wheatly re- | tained control of the machine and brought it safely to earth mlhoutl injury to himself. Wheatley had been assigned to take Governor Trumbull to Mitchel field, Long Island, where the chief ive of the state was to attend New York National maneuvers. The aviator had been at the New York field but returned to Hartford yesterday and left there for Plainville early this merning on his special detail. He was unfamiliar with Trumbull ficld, and as he came in from the north about 9 o'clock he tried to make his landing at an angle to the field because of the wind which was blowing. This brought him above two houses on Linden and Woodland streets and in line with a tall pole to which a radio aerlal was attached. He misjudged the height of the pole and barely struck the top with the tip of his lower right wing. The force of the blow pushed the pole over at an angle, and this al- lowed the plane to pass over it and avert 2 more serlous mishap. Wheat- v said he could not feel the blow but heard it, and, his ailerons es- caping damage, he was able to land The flier telephoned to Hartford and a mechanic was sent out spect the plane, portion of the wing was torn away, none of the moving parts had been crippled and Wheatley belisved he would be able to fiy the machine back to Hartford for repair. Gov- ernor Trumbull concurred in this belief after he had inspected the damage.

FLAWS IN TAX LAW PIGKED BY LINDER Jewelry and Furniture As- sessment Unenforceable He Says Flimination of taxes on furniture and jewelry and incorporation of the levy al mill rate, were suggestions ad- vanced by Chairman Thomas Linder of the board of assessors in a talk before the Exchange club last night. Linder declared the furniture and jewelry tax tobe unenforceable and for that reason, he argued, it should be stricken from the books. In his discussion of the general condition of taxation in New Britain, Chalrman Linder pointed to the fact that this city had a per capita levy | 37 lower than any other city in the tate last year. To acquaint his listeners with the ources of tax revenue, the speaker | presented a table showing what per- centage of each $100 received comes from each type of taxable property. His figures are: Dwelling houses and apartments, xclusive of ground occupled, 25 7-10 per cent; barns and garages, 1 per cent; lots, 20 3-10 per cent, sub- divided into store lots, 11 6-10 per cont and house lots, 8 7-10 per cent; stores aad office buildings, 8 per cent; mills and machinery. 1-2 per cent; outlying acreage, 1-2 of 1 per cent; cattle and horses, 4-10 of 1 per cent: automobiles, 1 2-10 per cent; furniture and jewelry, 6-10 of 1 per cent; goods of merchandise, 20 per cent; cables, mains and other public property excepting acreage, 1 1-2 per cent; excess of credit over dsbits, 2-10 of 1 per cent, miscel- lancous, 48-100 of 1 per cent.
