Babson of Springfield, against whom a warrant was issued last week for alleged reckless driving and evading responsibility, it was zgreed that Babson will appear in the local court on Monday, March 4, to stand trial on the charges pre- ferred. The charges against Babson were made following an accident here about three weeks ago in which An- thony Santucci of South avenue was struck by an automobile on Whiting street, resulting in a fractured arm and an injury to his side. The driver of the car fled from the scene but two persons succeed- ed in getting his license numbers.

Upon the death of William Slater, a will was found leaving his entire estate to Mrs. Tierney his adopted daughter. Later a second will was disclosed in which Mr. Slater left his estate to his nephew, Charles Slater. Mrs. Tierney claimed that Charles change his will while he was mental- ly weak and that he used unduc pressure. The case was fought for a long time and finally Probate Judge M. O. Ryder made a decision in favor of Charles Slater, stating that the second will was valid, Tierney, in contesting the will, ed that she spent a large amount of money in caring for the sick man.

With the rapid growth of the city and the expansion of building ac- tivities to the suburban sections, the neces for a full time assessor {board has become evident, in the opinion of many real estate men. At the present time the board consists of three members, on full-time at an annual salary of 600 and two part-time members who re each paid $600 a year. The two t-time members only a raonths while the list are being submitted and then while the new list is being prepared. Such a meth- od, it is pointed out, is unsatisfac- tory, particularly in a city of B tol's size where the grand list ex- ceeds ,000,000. Each year nu- merous changes must be made in in- \dnidual lists and such changes recessitate a visit to properties af- fected by the member of the board. Following the compilation of the lists the books must be sent to Hartford for binding and this year the bound books were not received by the city until the day before the first meeting of the board of reliet on February 1. In addition to the three assessors, the employment of one full-time clerk at an annual salary of $1,565 and a part-time clerk at $530 is au- thorized by the city council and an appropriation to cover this expense is included in the city budget. Certain real estate men, in di: cussing the full-time proposal, point out that such an arrangement would enable the assessors to keep the lists up-to-date at all times. Records of new buildings. both industrial and residential, could be secured cach day and all of the data, which un- der the present stem s secured during the few months that the as- sessors are in session, would be available when the preparation of the lists is started and the possibility of errors would be practically elim- inated.
