Jjan3od Increase from Last Grand List of Nearly $600,000---West Side was Thoroughly Covered by the Board--Some of the Large Additions and Losses--Board of Relief Now at Work. On Saturday the board of assessors —Aron W. Dickey, Alexander Reeves and Lewis R. Church—completed their work of assessing property of the town of Norwich for the grand list of 1908, and as the result of their work of four months they left the list increased $508,656 over the net taxable list of 1907, or the llst as left by the board of relief last March. It is now within a | few dollars of $17,000,000. The assess- | ors have been hard at work throughout th2 entire four months, and while they realize that their work is not fully completed as it should be, it was im- possible to do more because of the lim- it defined by law. The board of relief | starts it work this morning, and no doubt will have many visitors. There were between 600 and 700 lists which were ralsed by the assessors, and the property owners were given notice of that the 15th of January. Their complaints, if they have any, will be made to the board of rellef. There were quite a number who handed in lists to the assessors which were less than the amount of the last grand list. ‘Where the assessors have put the amount up to the figure of the last list they are not required to notify the taxpayer. Taxpayers have handed In thelr lists much better this year than they did last. The 1907 list was raised $70,624 by the 10 per cent. addition, but this year the additlon because of the 10 per cent. Increase is but $43,415. The board has had very little fault finding becanse of their work last year. Equalization on Three-Quarers Basis. The board in carrying on its work has found that the general impression seems to prevall that they are increas- ing the lists simply for the purpose of pushing up the grand list. This they declare is not so. In making additions to property lists they state that it is done for the purpose of equalization of the. entire property holdings of the town on a three-quarters basis, or so that every property holder will be pay- ing taxes on three-quarters of the val- uation of his property. In going over the lists the assessors find many dls- crepancies. Some property is not in at all, it is occasionally found, and in other, cases it is in so low that the owners themselves realize it and feel thankful that they have been able to keep it 80 low for such a length of time. In 1907 the board covered Greene- ville thoroughly, and this time they took the West Side, covering the sec- tion street by street and viewing all the property.” One or two pleces of property which were not in the st | i overhauling of amounts with a view to equalization. Tt Is impossible to get a perfect equalizatlon each ti it is often necessary, as it was time, to go over Greeneville section and make some corrections. The West Side \v‘r‘xls found just as bad das was Greene- ville. Additions and Losses. The large additions this year were at the Totokett mills, United States Finishing company and the Chappell Ely company. The first named was in- creased from $202,000 to $308,900, the second from $803,000 to $1,003,200, and the last named from $90,000 to $160,- 000. There have also been additions because of the Uncas Power company, which s in the list for the first time, and the John T. Young Boiler com- pany. The new Norwich Nickel and Brass company’s building and the East Side mill also make additions. In losses there is the W. H. Page Boiler company, the Uncas Paper company, ‘because of fire, and $25,000 in bonds which are taken to Hartford for tax- ation. There has been an increase in the valuation of dwelling houses of over $300,000, in stores of over $190,000 and in mills and manufactories of over $190,000. More Rules Next Year. The aseessors find that the rules they started last year have worked well and for the benefit of the board they wili enforce others next year. One is that they will take no lists after the first of October. It will stand In the name of the party owning it at that time regardless of transfers after that, as it is unfair to the board and col- lector t0 make changes in their lists after they are once started. They will also impress upon the owners the ne- cessity of putting in the house num- bers so that they can be distinguished. The board also believes that there should be & new list of exempt prop- erty and a reassessment of it. It amounts to 32 million now, but in reality it is much more. Term of Office. ‘While the board was in session there was a meeting of the assessors, mayor, cily and town counsel, selectmen and town clerk for the purpose of consid- were, found, and there was a general | in the supplement in this issue of The Bulletin. % New London’s Grand List. An increase in the grand list of New London amounting to $465,101 has been made by the board of assessors. The total of the grand list for 1908 is $16,002,228, as against $15,687,127 for 1907. The assessnfent for 1906 amounted to $14,903,739, showing the gain of 1907 over 1906 to have been $633,388. The 10 per cent. additional charged for making out lists amounted in the aggregate for the 1908 levy to $74,647. In 1907 it was 682,282, There was a small increase in the number of houses during 1908, but 26 more being reported by the assessors, ‘while there were 56 more in 1907 than in 1906. The total tax levied in com- parison with that of 1907 shows a de- crease of $9,595. There was an increase of $150,750 in favor of 1907 as compar- ed with 1906. Taxable land totals $842,205, which is an increase of $100,000. The in- crease for the previous year was $32,- 575. In the valuation of mfll: manufactories for 1908 a $96,040 is shown. Between the lists of the two last years, in favor 1907, there has been a galn of $200,779 In the department of steamboats and vessels. This increase is brought about by the documents of most of the New Fmgland Navigation Co’s fleet being Issued through the New London custom house. Automobiles gained in valuation $9,- 575. The gain of the year before was $7,025. There was a decrease of taxable money of $6,966 and a decrease In taxable bonds of $32,000. NORWICH 1S FORTUNATE IN CHOICE OF ITS MAYOR. Office with Timo~'oncrod Busi Principles. The Sunday Herald contained the pictures of the mayors of the state, regarding the movement of the State Mayor's association towards the col- lection of poil tares. In the group was Mayorg Costeilo Lippitt of this city, regar@ng whom the following was printes The city of Norwich is favored by bhaving for its mayor in Costello Lip- pitt a seasoned financier and business man and a citizen of irreproachable character. Mayor Lippitt has no oc- casion to screen any of the details of his long, busy and useful career, and he is discharging the duties of his first political office with fidelity and intelligence, and in line with time- honored business principles. He has the distinetion of having defeated Charles F. Thayer, who was elected mayor of Norwich so many times that he had come to be looked upon as in- vincible, Mayor Lippitt was born at East Killingly, Conn., December 12, 1842. He went to Norwich in 1852, and was ed- ucated in the common schools and Norwich Free Academy. He entered Wesleyan ecollege in 1860, and was graduated in 1864 with the degree of A. B., taking the degree of A. M, three years later, Mr. Lippitt entered the employ of the Norwich Savings soci- ety in 1865 and has been its treasurer for thirty years. It is the second larg- est bank in the state, He has just been elected president of the Mer- chants Natlonal bank, of which he has been senior director for many years. He is chairman of the board of trus- tees of the Norwich hospital for the insane, secretary of the board of trus- tees of the Norwich Free Academy, secretary and treasurer of the Eliza Huntington Memorial home, treasurer of the Masonic Temple corporation, president of the Connecticut Savings Banks association, past grand com- mander and treasurer of the grand commandery, Knights Templar of Con- necticut; a thirty-third degree Mason and past commander in chief of Con- necticut sovereign consistory, A. A. 8. R, Mr. Lippitt was elected mayor In June, 1908. Hls son, Norris S. Lippitt is one of the bank commissioners. In religion, Mayor Lippitt is a Methodist, and hag been a Sunday school superin- tend for thirty-five years. He was a delegate to the general conference in Chicago in 1900 and in Los Angeles in 1904, and for several years has been a member of the board of foreign mis- sions of the Methodist Episcopal church. A‘DDITION‘AL JURORS FOR ering the changes which much come with biennial elections. The board of assessors is an important office and it was the opinion of the meeting that the members should be elected for six years, or elect a new member to the board every two years. The board ders it would also be advisable for the town to have the assessors hold office for the entire year, so that they could keep up with the transfers and sales aud that the board should also have a map ‘of the town by districts and a card system. It is impossible to | do the work in four months. They be- lieve as do the public in general that the equalization should cover the en- s town at once and not by districts, but this is impossible of accomplizh- ment in four months. At the present rate it will take three or four years more to cover the whole town. Being in office but a short time, the tax- payers try to deceive them on what property they own and motor boats and autos cannot be ascertained for certain as to number or value. ‘I'ne board to hold the year round, or even four months, should have an office. As it is now notes and data which are made have to be thrown away at the end of the period, as there is no place to keep them. Nothing to De With Rate. The board has many inquiries about the rate and why, when they have in- creased the list, the rate of taxation should also “increase. The members have nothing to say to such inguiries except that they have nothing to do with fixing the rate of taxation. They are endeavoring to place the grand list on a basis equal for all and if the tax- payers go into town meeting and vote money away they must expect to meet it by tax and should not place the blame on the assessors. After completing their work Satur- day morning the assessors signed the book and then appeared before John C. Averill, justice of the peace, and took oath before him as to the perfec- tion of the lists according to the law. The oath has been taken before Mr. Averill by assessors for years.

The board has or- | ganized by the selection of John F. | &evin as the chairmen, a position which he filled previously, and Henry Gebrath was elected clerk.

The board has the power to place ihe taxpayer under oath wham questioning thaeun, something which the assessors cannof do.

Judge Ralph Wheeler of New Lon- don, who Is sitiing this term of the criminal superior court here, State's Attorney H. A. Hull, George E. Par- sons, clerk of the New London county superior court, and Deputy Sheriff J. . 1ubbs were at tae New London court house Saturday morning and drew from the jury commissioners’ list for additional jurors for the trial of John G. Bogardus, the former sol- dier, charged with having murdered L;)D r Copeland in New London Sept. 1908. Friday afternoon in the superior court the work of empunelling ths jury began. Of the thirty men eligible for jury Auty summoned for this trial, only ten were examined Friday after- noon, one being excused by the state, four challenged by the defense and three being excused by the court, one because of deafness, another because he had already formed an opinion and the third because he said he would require an eye witness of a crime to convict. Evidently the fact that of ten me only two jurors were eured im. pressed the court officials with the necessity of summoning more men, and in order not to delay the progress of the trial this was done Saturday. All of the thirty additional names drawn were men from the towns at the northern end of the county. The addition of thirty names to the list makes sixty names in all. Ten men have been examined, leaving ffty to be examined. If jurors are secured at the same rate as on Friday the present list will be sufficient to secure the twelve men to hear the murder trial. Two men in ten were secured ¥riday. In the same proportion the fifty men remaining should yleld up ten men for jury duty, the number needed to fill the jury box. It is hoped to have the jury chosen Tuee- day so as to proceed with the trial Wednesday.
