ASSESSORS MUST TAX INDIAN NECK PLOTS Rranford Property of Eoclesiastical Soclety Must Go on Town's Books, Judge Wolfe Rules, New Haven, Jan. 14 P — Judge Isaad Wolfe of superior court, who | on' November 36 declared null and void the act of the board of asses- sors of Branford in placing the In. dian Neck property of the First Ec- clesiastic society of that town on the tax lists in the name of lease- holders, has ordered a peremptory | writ of mandamus to be {ssued, di- recting the board of assessors to draw up supplemental lists as of |against the ecclesiastic society. Today's order is perhaps the final one in a fight started in April, 1936, by Willam R. Foote, Bran- |ford tax payer, against unequitable |taxation which went to the supreme court twice as Foote is owner of property at Indian Neck situated near that of the church soclety. The order reiterates Judge Wolfe's (previous opinion that the validat. |ing act of 1927, designed to make |valid the tax lists for Branford as | prepared by the board of associated boards of assessors and relief, is invallid. He is even more emphatic this time, and says, “It seéms to {me that the act in question violates jthe rule as to retroactive legisla- tion; that it is class legislation and is unconstitutional.” DRY ENFORCENENT " UNITS HAWPERED Givl Service Fallures Embar- | russ Department ‘Washington, Jan. 14 UP—The gov- |ernment's prohibition enforcement machine must go to the garage for !an almost complete rebuiiding unless the civil service commission lowers |the hurdles with which it confront- ed the dry agents in its recent exam- Inations, Beventy-five per cent of the work- {ing parts of the machine—1,500 of the 2,000 men on the payroll—fail- ed to pass the tests and prohibition Commissioner Doran is certain that |enforcement must come to & tem- Mr. Professional Man— your needs, while about May 1, P.S.

Pending a decislon of the commis- sion as to the second test, Dopan has notified his admistraters to make no permanent appointments of agents for the time being. It would be fm- possible, he told the commission, te rebuild his enforcement machine from thase other than present em- ployes who passed the examinations. About 4,000 succeeded in the test but Doran said their other qualifica- tions appeared’ to be not se good. In Chicago, he said, 200 such suc- cessful aspirants netted only five suitable for employment, and the Detroit situation was the same. If the present examination results stand, Doran pointed out that, as an example, an entire new force would be needed for the Carolina district, where only one man—and that one not highly regarded—of 30 pamsed the test. Fifty per cent failed in New York, and the same figure ob- tained in Philadelphia, where & Uni- versity of Iowa graduate and a for- mer United States marshal fell be- fore the questionnaire.
