Cage of Hart- ford, & familiar figure in_ this city vears ago, has just resigned his posi- tion as chief deputy internal revenue collector.

Captain Case was born in Norwich, this state, August 26, 1340, Most of his boyhood days were spent on_ the farm of Bela T. Hastings, Franklin, CAPT. Conn., where he attended_the red schoolhouse” winters, ing was finished at the school, Norw _ In 1860 Captain Case came to Hart- ford to enter the employ of a litho- graphing firm as an artisf. The fol- lowing sprin T hearing Editor Jo- seph R. Hawley of The Courant make h at the war meeting held at town hall he decided to enlist. me a member of Company A, n Hawley’s command. After three months' campalgn he re-enlisted in Company F, Thirteenth regiment volunteers, and was appoint- ed a sergeant. The regiment took part in the expedition to the Guif un- der Gen. B. F. Butler. Recruited First Company of Slaves. While encamped in New Orleans he was granted a leave of absence to recruit a company for the First Louls- iana_Native Guards, colored troops. He had the honor of recruiting the first company of slaves ever organized in the department of the Gulf. The regiment to which the company was assigned was accepted to complete a regiment designated as the Seventy- third, and Captain Case was given command of the company. The rei- ment took part in the movement which culminated in the fall of Port Hud- son. Owing to continued illness during the fall and winter of 1863, Captain Case resigned ang went to Chicago and thence to Peotone, Il Later he returned to Chicago and painted landscapes until the spring of 1865, when he returned to Norwich. “aptain Case entered the revenue service March 1, 186, as chief clerk under Jesse S. Ely, assessor of inter- nal revenueor the Third district of Connecticut, with headquarters _at Norwich. al The territory, comprising the trict as now organized (Connecticut and Rhode Island) was originally divided among six districts, four in Connecticut and two in Rhode Island, with six assessors and six collectors, All taxes were known as “assessed taxes” in - those days: Lists were made up by the ascsessor and turned over to collectors for collection, for which receipt was given in duplicate, one copy of which was sent to the commissioner at Washington as a voucher in settlement of accounts. No “tax pald” stamps were issued. The annual taxes were called duties and paid as such, The duties due from the business interests of the district were made up monthly and an annual list was made, which covered the income tax, Jeremiah Olney succeeded Assessor Fiy in 1872 and Captain Case served as chief clerk with him until Januar; 1, 1873. Joseph Selden of Norwic vas appolnted collector, January 1, 1873, The following table of the terms of service of assessors and collectors un- der whom Captain Case served is of interest: Assessor and Collector.

When the ticut districts were consolidated in 1883, Captain Case moved to Hartford as the head- quarters of the new district was es- tablished there. In 1888 further eon- solidation took place by the addition of Rhode Island. Since then the dis- trict has been knewn as the district of Connecticub GEORGE R_CASE. “little His &chool- Broadway Gadbois of East Lyme'| | ENLARGE CITY AND TOWN LIMITS Proposition Before Board of Trade to Add Sunnyside to City A proposition that the BSunnyside section of Laurel Hill should be an- nexed to the city was one of the im- portant developments in the Novem- ber meeting of the Norwich board of trade Monday evening at Buckingham Memorial and to this was added that consideration should be given at the same time to an extension of the limits of the town by taking in that part of the town of Preston where the Nor- wich State hospital stands, and even to extend this proposed addition, if it were carried through, as far as the Poquetanuck drawbridge. Since there is only a limited time within which to take the required action on sny new legislation which it is desired to pre- sent before the next session of the legislature, & committee Was appoint- ed to take these matters into inrwi- ate_consideration. The meeting had an attendance of 100 men and was called to order by President Joseph D. Hviland shortly after § o'clock. Secretary Henry W. Tibbitsi read his minutes of the last meeting, which were approved. Invite Dairymen’s Convention Here. President Haviland introduced G. ‘Warrgn Davis, president of the Con- necticut Dairymen's association, who stated that the annual state conven- tion of the dafrymen might like to meet in Norwich. Mr. Davis further | said that there was no possibility of | golng to Hartford because of lack of | Dproper accommodation, but there was a chance they might go to Meriden. The convention attracts about 450 to | 700 delegates. Mr, Davis suggested the town hall in Norwich as a place that could accommodate the conven- tion, using the corfidors for exhibits. Secretary Tibbits reported from the selectmen that it was the opinion of two of them that the town hall could | be used for that purpose, and County Commissioner C. D. Noyes had also said he thought the hall could be used, but it rested with the selectmen. President Haviland endorsed the plan to have the convention come here and a motion was passed to invite the dairymen’s convention. The motion was made by Secretary Tibbits. Mr. Davis acknowledged with thanks this action of the board of trade. Reports from State Board of Trade. Frederick W. Cary, & vice president of the state board of trade, made an instructive report of the annual meet- ing of the state board last week. One of the special points he spoke of was the public market established in Hart- ford and also the report made from Westerly that the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford railroad was spending $260,000 there in abolishing grade crossings and making other improve- ments, E. A, Tracy, who was sent by the board 48 & representative of manufac- turing interests, was next called upon and responded with a racy report that brought audible smiles at many points. He referred to the topic which was to be before the state board of trade next | year, which is agriculture. Through better directed and more attention giv- en to agriculture in Connecticut is! Delleved to be one way of reducing the | high cost of living. Mayor Mahan Could Not Ceme. President Haviland anmounced with | regret that Mayor Bryan F. Mahan| had sent work at the last minute that he could not be here to speak, as had been expected. Norwich Surely Growing. President Haviland called attention to the Board of Trade quarterly which had been distributed and which show- ed that Norwich was steadily and surely growing. What Norwich Needs. President Haviland called attention to a page in the quarterly wherein was shown what Norwich ‘needs. He made special mention of the item of annexation of Sunnyside and asked why not also add Norwich Town. _He thanked Mayor Murphy for starting the ball rolling for better sidewalks and for having the city improve one of its own walks at the corner of Wash- ington and School streets. He also mentioned a walk put in by Willis Austin on Church street. It is strange, continued President Haviland, how hard it is to get the Connecticut company to eéxtend trol- ley lines as we think they ought to. They have a charter of our streets for- ever and when the heavens roll away and the earth melts with heat, upon the new_earth,. preserved In asbestos, will, without doubt, be a copy of the same charter permitting the Connecti- cut company to go on as of yore for- ever. They should surely give us the Maplewood extension. Civio Committee Conducted gramme. Secretary Tibbits made a word of explanation about the absence of May- or Mahan and the meeting was then Pro- civic committee, which had charge of the programme of the evening. Mr. Macpherson spoke pleasantly of what the board can do in the way of every- thing for public improvements. He spoke in praise of the mayor for bet- | ter sidewalks and better street con- ditions. He referred to New London's uniform sidewalks and said the com- back of the mayor here, ‘Things Desired. Mr. McPherson went on to speak of things which the committee had thought of as desirable. These in- cluded better freight deliveries to cor- rect conditions now, the placing of an electric sign at the rallroad station to be switched on by the station agent for turned over by President Haviland to| pon poughton, Chairman James C, Macpherson of the | mittee wanted to see the board of trade | the benefit of Strangers. They sug- gested also public information bureaus and new street signs, of which a sam- ple with white letters on blue back- ground was shown to the meeting. Mayor Murphy on Sidewalks. Mr. McPherson was applauded as he concluded and called upon Mayor Murphy to express his views on side walks and public improvement: Mayor Murphy acknowledged grate- fully the aid_given him as mayor by the Norwich Board of Trade and Nor- wich - Business Men's assoctation. On the subject of sidewalks the mayor said he was not criticising money that had been spent, but there had been much and the walks were in bad con- dition. On Broadway he sald there were sidewalks that hadn’t been touch- ed in 40 years. On Washington street, also one of the nicest streets in the state of Connecticut, where $10,000 is belng spent on the roadway, there are oor walks. The sunken and irregu- r curbs are in many cases badly in feed of attention. The mayor gave these figures of money appropriated for care of streets in the last few ears: $22,166 1n 1907, $2,250 In 1908, 8,327 in 1909, $27,000 in 1810 and 20,300 in 1913, a total of over $80,67¢- Side Btrests 8hould Get Care. For a 80 foot lot Mayor Murphy sald it wouldn't cost more than §6 to fix a curb. The elty's own walks, the mayor Saif, were in wretched shape. The mayor told President Davis that he would be glad to give the Connecti- cut state dairymen’s convention every convenience if it came here. The mayor Wid eRUusiAsticaly applauded and State Hospital Site to Town—Municipal Improve- ments the Topic For November Meeting—Mayor Murphy Talks on Condition of City Sidewalks. 0. L. Johnson Spoke. President 0. L. Johnson of the City Beautiful association told the meeling, when called upon, that in the matter of bettér lights, better streets and bet- ter everything it all depended upon what the- people would take. They would get just exactly what they wanted. H. H. Gallup,an Annexationist. Firsi Vice President Grosyenor Ely spoke. briefly on the same lines, and he was followed by Hon. H. H. Gallup. Mr. Gallup sald he was still an an- nexationist and he thought the town ought to extend still further and take in the site now occupied by the Nor- wich state hospital, and then keep on and extend its limits to tidewater at Poquetanick drawbridge. The hospi- tal had been made possible largely through Norwich aid, it was a Nor- wich' institution and should be in the town. There was applause for Mr. Gallup as he concluded, and he was followed with a word or two from President C. . Fairclough of the Norwich Busi- ness Men's association, who was called upon by President Haviland. Sectional Feeling a Hindrance. Rev. F. O. Cunningham s also called upon, responding in genial spirit with some mention of his ad- miration for Norwich, and speaking also of some spirit of sectionalism which he had geen manifested and which he thought was rather against the best development of the city. His remarks brought out applause. Frank H. Smith was called upon, responding with brief remarks on the good roads discussion at the state board of trade.. 3 Norwich Boomer Speaks. President Haviland called upon R. C. Plaut, one of the old Norwich “Boom- ers” ' His brief talk was, in an opti- mistic and humorous vein that put the members in a good humor and intro- duced the subject of good roads, which President Haviland followed up by calling upon Frank J. King to tell of the visit of Judge Robinson here last week. Mr. King took occasion to con- tradict a statement that had appeared that Mayor Mahan was opposed to the Norwich to Groton road, since he had given Mr. King assistance trying to get something done for this road. % Norwich Booster Book. At a suggestion from Mr. Will L. Stearns spoke a few about a little Norwich Booster pamph- let which had been distributed. Spoke for a Public Market. Amos A.

Motion on Annmexation Passed. . W.

He moved the appointment of a com- mittee of five by the pre: referring H. H. Gallup, the words “or town were inserted to bmake the motion cov- er_extension of town limits.

SEWER ASSESSMENTS RAISE MUCH OPPOSITION. Water Street Property Owne: No Benefits from New Sewer Th The hearing on the matter ‘of as- sessments for benefits from the recent- | ly completed Water street, Dunham street and Lafayette street sewers, be- fore the public works committee of t! common council, Monday evening, last- ed about an hour, the greater pyit of the time being taken up w. protests against assessment o (ne property owners pn Water « t. Chairman M. H. Hourigan | ..sided, and J. ¥, Wil- lams anu ... J.Kramer were the other cout: «n present, besides City - necr George E. Pitcher, who explained the layout of the sewers in question and answered inquiries as to locations | and conditions. There were 4 number of interested parties on hand when the hearing opened at § o'clock. | W’J‘r.e Water street sewer, or Littie er street as it has been know: was the ' first under consideration William B. Young, representing tho| Lee & Osgood company, stated that in | 1874 this property was assessed $429.20 | for sewer benefits and that under the | rules of the board property of 100 fuot | dapth was liable to but one assessment | and that therefore there could be 1> taxation of this property at this time. Attorney Donald G. Perkins, repre- senting the heirs of the estate of Hen- ry Pill, asked Mr. Pitcher to explain | the location of the sewer, and he did 80, saying that the work w: complo:- | ed Oct. 4 of this year at a cost o $1,6: My, Perkins said that as one part of the Bill property had :\lrmnl\'i been assessed for sewers and had am- | ple sewage facilities connected with| Main street, there no benefit wha- soever by the Water street sewer and that no assessment could well bs| charged for benefits. The other prop- | erty, at the corner of Shetucket Water streets, if asse Mr. Perkins, should not be assessed in full, owing to the fact that the sew is not opposite it and is o from the property so th nected with this line great expense. Had Ample Sewage Faci b Attorney William H. Shields, repre- senting the Kronig and J. B. Shannon interests, asked Mr. Pitcher about the sewage from the Reynolds barn and| Lucas properties, now owned by Shannon, and the city engineer s ed that in the past those property had been conne Shetucket street sewer and that Lucas property had also been conn; i ed with the Market street sew | Shields gaid that if these two liné: | | been capable of carrying off the sew- | j age from the properties when the Lu- | cas building was occupicd by a large | number of tenants and the Reynolis property held a big stable, they were w would entail Mr. Shields mentioned Mr. Shannon | as ‘the most public spirited.man of t city as well as the largest taxpayer, and said that it would be an injustice to tax this man for a new sewer whea his predecssors had always had ample sewage facilities. Has Sewer es to Main Street. In regard to the Kronig property Mr. Shields stated that this, like the Lee & Osgood property, extended from Main to Water streets, and had ampls sewage facilities on Muin street and that thus the new sewer was of n benefit whatever. It has been laid | » | down in our courts, said Mr. Shields,| that when a party has ample sewase facilities there is no need and no ben.- fit from other sewers. Replying to Mr Shields’ questions, Mr. Piicher said that the sewer was approximately %0 | feet trom the Kronig property and that | to connect ‘the property with the sew- | er would require cutting through a sol- id ledge for almost the entire distance, at gres: expense. Mr. Shields in con- cluding said that there could be no le- gal assessment on the property, s there was no benefit, and, sccondly, if there was need for this scier, to con- nect Mr, Kronig's property with it would entail great expense to the| property owner.
