In his business life, as well as In social and fraternal af- fairs, he was held in esteem and in his death the community loses a eit- izen of unusual merit. Rev, Denison L. Brown. Rev. Denison T. Brown, retired clergyman of the New England South- ern conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church and a veteran of the Civil war, died at his home, rear of 87 Bene- fit street, Providence, Monday after- noon after a lingering {liness. Hev. Mr. Brown had Hved in Providence for the past 15 years Putering the ministry of the Meth- odist BEpiscopal church in 1864, Mr. Brown occupied many pulpits in Rhode Tsland, Connecticut and Massachusetts until 1894, when he retired from active labors in the church. He had not been in good health for the past 10 or 12 years, and for the past year had been almost totally blind, although able to be about u little untll last Wednesday, when he was forced to take to his bed. He failed gradually from that time untll the end came. He did not suffer toward the end, which was peaceful. Rev. Mr. Brown was born in Nor- wich, Conn, Nov. 26, 1836, the son of Denison L. and Lucy Maria (Adams) Brown. In 1862 he enlisted as a pri- vate in the Twenty-first Connecticut volunteers. and in that same year was made a second lleutenant of'Company H of his regiment.

The best Spring Medicine is the one that should at once help the body, throw off the acoumulated waste mat- not been properly eliminated from the system. The B Spring Medicine should at the same time have a toning influence on the system, quickening the circula- tion of the blood so as to thoroughly oxidize all impurities not conveniently thrown off, and this tonic effect should extend to all the organs of the body to accelerate their action so as to work in unison, giving a sense of new life. vim and vigor to the entire body.

Judge Harry E. Back of Danielson represented the town of Preston, Harrison B. Freeman, Jr., ot Hartford, the company; Corporation Counsel Frank T. Brown the city of Norwich, and Attorney A. A. Brown- ing the town of Norwich. In opening for the town of Preston, Judge Back told of the Compressed Air company being taxed on only $15,000 worth of property in Preston, where fts plant and main was located, as against $100,000 in Norwich. The provision is that it shall not be faxed on a greater amount than one-quarter of its gross income in Preston, but the amount | shall never fall below $15,000. With a grand list of only about a half mil- Jion, Preston has $30,000 debt, mainly for bridges across the Quinebaug riv- er, which this concern has damaged. t long ago the state beard of equal ion added from $100,000 to $ to Preston’s grand list. .The town 1s poor and has a hard time to raise mon ey to pay its running expenses. Here is this valuable plant, one end of the dam In Preston and the power hous entirely in that town, and yet it pays no proper amount of taxes in that town. “This s unjust, unfair, unusnal” sald Judge Back. “It puts a burden on the other taxpayers and shields the in this fown. I belleve this the courts bave held that land mia; X Pxem ted from taxation when held by ate individual or corporation, but lln< question has never been brought to the attention of the state courts in the particular form in which it arises in this case. Judge Back read from the constitu- tion to show that special privileges are prohibited, and claimed that this tax exemption, which the courts have repeatedly held such Iimitations to be, is a special privilege of the simplest xind. He showed that to have the gross income of the company go $60,000 a year, to which point it would have to go to Increase the taxable val- uation in Preston under its eharter, would require it to sell many times the amount of power which it can manu. facture. “This is mot only unjust to the town of Preston, but the charter is unconstitutianal,” were the words In which he summed up his case. Gross Income of Company. Attorney Freeman asked Judge Back if it wouldn't be unconstitutional to amend the charter without thesconsent of the stockholders, if it was ever done, and if ‘such action would not impair the obligations in the contract between the state of Connecticut and the com- pany which the charter was the show- ing of. He asked also if Mr. Black knew that the gross income of the con- cern was below $10,000, and Judge Back answered that he didn't and didn’t care what it was, “Would it surprise you to &now that If you get what you want, the company will have to pay some $3,270 in taxes?" asked the Hartford attorney. “I don’t care what it would have to pay,” replied his Danlelson opponent. “Preston is not concerned at all in the total amount of its taxes. If the eompany choosés to sit down under unjust taxation in Norwich, that is none of our business. We have noth- Ing to say about Norwich, and are merely looking out for Preston's rights” ‘Mr. Freeman olaimed that half of the dam and water privilege was in the town of Lisbon, and Judge Back re- plied that such a in the town where the mill was locat- ed, but that there was no Intent to gouge the town of Lisbon—‘or the town of Norwich elther.,” To Mr. Freeman’s statement. in be- ginning the presenation of his case, that the two attorneys had found it impossible to get together on the prop- osftion, Judge Back entered a denial :nd sald that Mr. Freeman, on behalf f the company, wanted Preston to over | y was taxed | foin the concern in fighting Norwich the suit now In court and Preston refused to do that. ‘One-third of Income in Tares. “If this company had to pay taxes Back.

We claim that an amendment to the charter 'such as is proposed is uncon- stitutional and defy Mr. Back to show ‘where any charter has been amended in this fashion. There is no prece- dent. for it. For one thing, a general law provides that before any charts amendment becomes operative it must have been adopted by a majority vote of the stockholders of the company. Supposing the stockholders of the No: wich Compressed Air Power company weren't willing to accept this?" Chairman Parker of the committee differed with Mr. Freeman on this and said it was competent for the legis- lature to pass legislation of the sort asked for and Mr. Freeman finally ad- mitted that it was the form in which it was asked for that was objection- able and that the end sought might be attained In some other and proper way. ‘To force s company to pay this additional taxation would simply oblige it to go into the hands of a receiver, and then neither Norwich nor Pr ton wounld be Wflter oft,” Mr. Freeman. ch action fiscatory and I don’t believe any court would hold that it was legal or con- stitutional. While T don't think the intention is to be unfair. such a prop- osition certainiy is unfaf Offered $100,000. Judge Back agreed to give $100,000 for the dam and water privilege owned by the company, though he said he didn’t want the compressed air comsy pany, and raise the amount in two weeks. “Put that in writing, Mr. Back, and I think there will be no difficulty in putting the deal through,” was. Mr. Freeman's retort. “The situation is simply this” he said. “The plant is today earning less than $10,000 a vear; It bas never pald a cent of interest on its bonds or a cent of dividneds to its stockholde and is simply run now to pay tex The men who went into it are stan ing the situation lke men and not trying to float securities in order to get out themselve: Mr, Brown said a few words to show how deeply Norwich is affected in this matter because of the expensive tea: ing up of its streets, and told the com- mittee that it was by no means simply a matter of the physical valuatiop of the company’s property, but that Nor- wich should recefve some proper re turn in money. Even then, it doesn Mr. Browning cailed attention to the fact that the charter of the company says that the concern s “loc Norwich," and sald that it dian't. sell a pound of power in Preston. Both Mr. Browning and Mr. Brown told the committee they would want to be given a hearing for their gjients, if the pro- posed legislatlon was to bring Norwich in, in any way. ‘While it cannot be sald that a m; jority of the committee feels favorably inclined toward the proposition, final adjustment of the matter cannot yet be told, Effect of Proposed E(ll.

At _the superior court in New Lon- don Tuesday the only case heard was that of R. A. Sherman's Sons Co. of Westerly vs, the Industrial & Manu- facturing Co. of Mystic. This is a suit for supplies, lumber, etc, furnished by the Industrial & Manufacturing Co. by _the plaintiffs, Westerly contractors. The amount is approximately $5,000. The defendant company does not dispute the truth of the claim, but says that there was an agreement whereby the Westerly firm was to take some real estate in part payment for the bill The property on which the factory is located is divided into bullding lots. It was this real estate, or rather a portion of It, that the Industrial & Manufacturing Co. claims Sherman’s Sons agreed to take as partial pay- ment, Attorney Barnes represented the de- fendants.
