OFFICER TO COLLECT POLL AND MILITARY TAXES Recommendations of Tax Commission- er Will Be Incorporated Into a Bill for Legislature. i To a discussion of the best method of collecting the state military tax was devoted the entire morning ses- sion of the Mayors' association of Connecticut at its midwinter session in Hartford Wednesday, Mayor Fors- ter of Rockville presiding. Tax Com- missioner Willlam H. Corbin was pres- ent by invitation and he explained his theory of _solving the troublesome problem. In his opinion the present system of divided official responsibil- ity in towns and cities is fatal to the | collection of the noll tax, It was easy enough to collect from property hold- ers, but with the non-property holder the trouble began. He favored an in- termediate date, between January and October, for a thorough enrollment by an official selected by the ‘mayors of citles and the selectmen in towns, If a law can be passed permitting the towns to adopt this method, the poll tax collector can make a house to house canvass. His lists should be filed with the boards of relief and for one month be subject to corrective changes. Then the bills of non-prop- erty owners could be turned over to the officer for collection, he to be re- munerated amply, either by salary or commission, or both. Mayor Armstrong of New London said -he had given the subject much consideration and had arrived at the conclusion that the legislature should be asked to repeal the tax laws. He said that most of the people subject to them were unable to nay ‘them and again it would cost the state about as much to collect them as the income would amount to. At the close of the discussion it was voted to have a bill framed along the lines outlined by the tax commissioner, making it permissi- ble for the towns to appoint an officer to collect the poll and military taxes. NO PARISH HOUSE DISCUSSION. Matter Is Yet in the Distant Future and Only One of the Needs of Christ Church to Be Talked Over.

SMITH The Drug Man, 4q Jjanl It it was possible to go ahead with the plastering and inside woodwork on the addition to the courthouse, the building could be finished and made ready for occupancy in six or seven weeks. This work is being held up for the installation of the steam heat- ing, it being necessary to have heat before the remainder of the work can be finished, the steam fitters belng at work now. ‘The exterfor work on the building has been completed, the windows are all in, but there remains some grading to be done in the yard. At the rear and on the north side a fine cut stone wall has been built, but the ground will have to be graded and the front put in shape. “Phe ground floor of the building will be used for the common pleas court room, with offices for the judge, jury, clerk and other wide rooms, while the second floor will be occupied by the law library, there being an entrance from the main floor of the city hall through an arched doorway. The third floor will be an addition to the town hall, which will nearly double its size and mean the changing of the plat- form somewhat fiom where it is at tae present time. The French roof on the addition is where the town hall is lo- cated. A description, with dimensions of the building, has previously been given. The ground floor Is of granite, while' the bullding above is of pressed brick, the roof being slated on the sides’ The architecture follows Tne style of the main building. But for the lack of heat the annex would have been finished by this time, Contractor Wiiliams having the ma- terial in the building and stored else- where for the completion of the job. The plastering will be the next work to be done, after which will follow the woodwork and the flooring, only the temporary floors being in at present.

The law library books are now in the office of the clerk of the superior court and the clerk of the common pleas court, while many more are stored for lack of room. The change from there to the new library and the removal of the commor. pleas clérk's office into the new quarters, which will be con- venlently fitted up and equippedswith a fireproof vault for the records and papers, ‘will make available an addi- ticral room for the superior court clerk. The contract price for the building was $26,997, while the total cost of the necessary land and buildings and the furnishings, it is not thought, will bring the total amount to $50,000, HOW “UNCLE GEORGE" SPENT CHRISTMAS NIGHT. Four Generations Gathered About One Tree at ’Frisco. The San Francisco Bvening Globe of Dec. 26 had the following regard- ing “Uncle” George T. Bromley: “Uncle George” Bromley spent Christmas night with all his living descendants gathered around him at the home of his son, George A. Brom- ley, 650 Broderick street. There were twenty of them—two sons, two daughters, four grandsons and tea granddaughters and two great. grandchildren. “Uncle George,” despite his 91 years—it will be 92 next April— was as young as any of them and the | veteran ~ Bohemian enjoyed himself heartily. Sitting in his chair, he re- clted. several of his old favorite pieces and was the center of the gathering. Four generations compared their ages and found thet the eldest son was over 60 years, the eldest grandson over 40 and the elder of the two great- grandchildren wes 1. The younges: grandchild, Kate, is just 10. The united ages of all Uncle George's descendants is 530 years. B They do not call him “Uncle Geoyge, but “grandpa,” and he has grown'ac customed to that name, with fourteen grandchildren to address him by it The members of the family gatherea together were: PR Mr, and Mrs. George A.

The third midweek gospel service was held- Wednesday evening at the Third Baptist church. Interest deepens as the evenings pass by and the ser- vices are found to be worth while by those who attend. After a devotional service of praise and prayer the pas- tor, Rev. W. T. Thayer, spoke upon Christ's Methods of Reaching Men and of Teaching His Disciples. It is the duty of the Christian through Christ's spirit to save the unconvert- ed, and it Is the duty of the uncon- verted to be saved through Christ. To Christ the Christian goes for methods to accomplish his mission and to Christ the unsaved must go for the way of salvatlon. We do not appreci- ate the power of the personal touch, “reaching one at a time is the way of reaching all in time.” Christ recog- nizes the power of ‘the Individual, and each one has some service none but he can render. The preacher tonight is Rev. B. W. Potter, pastor of the Jewett City Bap- tist church. FIVE HUNDRED TOURNEY Started Yat Colonial Club This Week to Continue About 15 Weeks.
