WILLIMANTIC Work of Board of Assessors Nears Completion—Grand List Increase of $1,514,411 Over 1910. The-members of the board of assess- ors of the town of Windham have practically completed their work of making out the tax list of the town for the year 1911, The three assessors—Dr. George E. Wilcox, J. Godfrey LaPalme and George Hatch—have done much work in connection with the tax list and no board of assessors in years attempted to ascertain the value of the taxable property to the same extent or at- tempted a fair valuation on a basis of 50 per cent. than has the present board in the time which it had at its dis- posal. Dr. Wilcox, chairman of the board, made a personal canvass of all the merchants and manufacturers in the city in order to gain such information as they might give him, that the as- gessors might be able to treat the mat- ter of property valuation with s much Justice as possible. While he was do- ing that, the other two members work- ed in the office, going over the lists filed and other woark. +“The result of the assessors’ valuation has raised the grand list $1,614,411 over the list of 1910. The grand list of 1910 was $5,344,264. The grand list this year is $6,858,675. The grand list has four divisions, the residents of the west division, the non- vesidents of the west division; the residents of the east division and the non-residents of the east division. The west division consists of proper- ty within the city limits, and the east division takes in the property outside the city limits. The largest increase made by the as- sessors was on the list of the Ameri- can Thread company. Last year the comrpany was in the list for $1,400,000. ‘Whether or not it was the case as the result of the agitation for revaluation of property within the town, the com- pany of its own volition ralsed its list $100,000.. The assessors then added a million, making the- total list $2,500,- 000. The others to be increased were the balance of the manufacturers and a great portion of the business There were some additions on houses and other property, but the main in- crease was in the manufacturing and mercantile s. The figur various divisions are as follows: division residents, $4,- (] $5,777,440; increased | $1.,473,853. 1910, west divi: non-residents, ; 1911, $428,888; increased $10,- 1910, east division residents, $455,474; 1911, $479,027; increased $23,613. 1910, east division non-residents, i;gl 3 1911, $173,320; increased $5, 985. In the whole list there are several instances where large decreases are noted. These are explained by the fact that the people have sold part if not all of their real estate holdings. As an instance, one man paid taxes on a yval- uation of over $3,000. This year He is in the list for $125, his personal prop- erty, the man having sold his real es- tate. | The close attention to the going over the list and property brought to light a number of things that were or will be probably remedied in the future. It was found by one of the board there were many places of business which had never been in the tax list at all. In five instances places that had been doing business fro mtwo to five years had never paid any tax. These were ali added to the list this year. One busi- ness man, supposed to be one of the wealthiest in the town, at least in available money if not property, was in the list for only $300. The property owners whose lists were raised were notified Saturday by the assessors through the malil of their actfon, but the amounts of raises were not stated. The notifications were given out to allow those affected to appear before the hoard of relief, should they deem it advisable to make a kick over the raises, and to hear all appeals from the doings of the assessors. HOLY NAME SOCIETY Organized Sunday Evening by M sionary Father Among Men of St. Joseph's Parish, St. Joseph's church was crowded to the doors Sunday evening with men and women of the parish, besides a2 number of non-Catholics, to listen to the sermon on The Divinity of Jesus Christ, preached by the Rev. C. A Sphlinter, O. P, of New York city. The appearance of Father Sphlinter was in the interests of the forming of @ branch of the Holy Name society among the older boys and the men of th parish. The sermon preached by the priest was eloquent and convinc- ng. Father Sphlinter proved the divinity of Jesus and enlightened the minds of those present to the magnitude of the Saviour's al] saving grace by following in his footsteps, in giving heed to his divine teachings, and performing the Christian tasks in this life, which in the end will merit a reward—a place in the heavenly kingdom. Father Sphilin- ter spoke at length on the blasphem- ing of the holy name of Jesus, and swearing and cursing in general. He showed that these acts were a most flithy habit and gave several mind pic- tures of the horrors in life resulting from the straying away from grace through this habit. He laid stress on the sinfulness of desecration of the Sabbash, as well as missing mass. “Catholics,” he said, “are bound to attend mass at least on Sundays and ‘We insult God and wrong our soul if we stay away from mass. Take away the mass, the form of wor- ship instituted by God, and we have nothing to stand on for our future sal- vation.” At the close of the sermon a large branch of the society was organized. Already a boys' branch in two di- visions has been formed, with 150 members. A branch will also be or- ganized among the Polish members of the parish, which will mean, it is ex. pected that over 700 male Catholics will ba enrolled in this city. Father Sphlinter spoke at all the masses Sun- day. At the 10.30 high mass he deliv- ©d a powerfu! sermon on The Blessed Virgin.
