Joseph Griffith of St. Thomas sem- inary, Hartford. will preach the ser- mon. Basketball Game Postponed The basketball game scheduled for Wednesday evening in the Hartford county “Y” league between the Kensington Boys' club and the Lions! of New Britain has been called off by agreement between the two man- agers. This game was the last game scheduled in the lcague for the local team. The club ended the league with a record of no wins and cleven los: The Licns have al- ready clinched the championship of the league and meet the winners of the other half of the county this week for the championshi this reason the locals agreed to call oft the game. Considering the fact that the Boys' elub team has no floor of its own S and is forced to get w little prac- tice they can on New Britain courts, they put up & good fight in the league. They forced the Lions to the limit in their last meeting and gave them the hardest fight of any team in the leagne. The local team holds the championship of the town by virtue of its two- victories over the East Berlin five. It is probable that the local team will close its season without playing any more games.

Blodgett to Plainville and virtually turned the meeting over to this expert on taxation, An appropriation of $11,500 for the work was voted and the was awarded to the Manufacturers' Appraisal Co. dt Philadelphia, the lowest of three competing bidders, 400 Attend Mceting Fully 400 taxpayers were in the auditorium when Stanley 8. Gwillim | called the meeting, which had been adjourned from three weeks before, to order. Henry 8. Washburn, chair- man of the committee of seven ap. pointed at that time to carry on the investigation, made his report. He stated that his committee was satis- fied that aerial maps were the cheapest method available of check- ing up property and explained the card system which it is proposed to introduce. “Inventories of factoric and stores must be made by ex- perts,” he said. *“Revaluation does not necessarily mean high assess- ments, and a higher assessment may mean a lower tax rate and actually smaller taxes.” Property hitherto unlisted would probably be found, he stated.

Trumbull,” Mr. Blodgett said amid applause. Ile urged that the town should adopt the pay-as-you-go pol- icy which Governor Trumbull has emphasized in state financing.

Made Investigation Here Commissioner Blodgett revealed ! the fact that within the past year he had sent an investigator here 1o examine the assessments. The in- quiry revealed unflattering facts about them, he said, and did not read the report, although he had it with him. ‘It would make you un- happy,” he explained. The way out, he concluded, lay in the adoption of the committee's re- commendations, as a new plan was becoming increasingly needed. John J. Kimmel, former first se- lectman and former chairman of the | board of assessors, asked how reval- | uation had come out in Rocky Hill. | Mr. Blodgett admitted it had been a failure there, but sald that the as- | sessors themselves had refused to; worle with the new machinery and that he doubted if they were capable | of reading the acrial maps. Reply- | ing to a question by Frank Usher, the commissioner said aerial maps were more accurate than engineers’ maps except in metropolitan districts as they showed the character of the land. Answering another query, he stated that the assessors could re Ject the plan if they wanted but that a bill could be put through legislat- ure for a change of system. He ad vocated a one-man assessment sys- tem whero possible. Close Vote on Resolution A resolution empowering the se- | takel lectmen to appoint a committee of |2y seven, representing various interests, to serve without pay and to have full authority to cause a revaluation of all taxable property for the assist- ance of the assessors was then intro- duced by Mr. Washburn. It w signed by all members of the com- mittee and further instrycted the new body to cmploy an outside ap-| praisal company. Joseph McCarthy seconded the resolution and, surpri ingly, there was no discussion. Th resolution was barely carricd, 156- 134. The “nay's” had a bare major- ity on the main floor but only three or four adherents in the balcony. Mr, Washburn then read the com- petitive bids, one of $§15,000 from | Cambria, Roth & Cambria; one of $11,000 from the Municipal Service C and one of $10,500 from the' Manufacturers' Appraisal Co.
