T. White—High School Graduating Exercises—City’s Grand List Boosted $2,000,000—Mrs. ;gul Coutemarche Found Dead in od. After three hours' deliberation ,the jury in the superior court here brought in ‘a verdict favorable to the city in the cases of Selectman Edwin T. White and his wife, Jennie White, tried joint- 1y, against the city of Putnam, Thurs- day. It Is said there will be no appeal taken. Selectman and Mrs. White, of Pomfret ,claimed damages for injuries received when their horse ran away on School street, November 4, 1911, when it was alleged the animal was fright- ened by the city's steam roller. Each plaintiff brought suit for $5,000. The cage was commenced Tuesday: Court opened at 10.45, and when the jury, which had been charged by Judge Shumway Wednesday afternoon just before adjournment, immediately retir- ed to the jury room to discuss the case. At 11.02 the jury came in again for in- structions as to the testimony of City Engjneer George W. Perry relative to where the warning signs were at the Bouth end of the street and at what time, In relation to the accident, it was when he saw them. At 12.01 the jury again réturned and asked for instructions "as to the distance Mr. White was from the roller when he first saw it. In both instances the court stenographer read the testimony of the witnesses in question. At 1.24 the jury returned with a ver- dict for the city in both of the White Against City. At about 2.30 o'clock another case ainst the city was commenced, that of Jennie T. Labby, Canal street, this being an action for damages in which the plaintiff’ claims that the Labby building, Canal street, was injured by lasting done in blowing rocks out of the course of a sewer layout near the building while the city's sewer system was being constructed, the damaging Dlasting alleged to have taken place between September 15 and November 1, 1911. The suit Is for $6,000. Attor- ney Frank E. Howarth of this city and Attorney Samuel B. Harvey of Willi- mantic are counsel for the plaintiff, Torrey and Geissler for the city. City Engineer George W. Perry tes- tified that from one corner of the build- ing the center of the sewer is about 8 1-2 feet, and from the other corner the distance s 28 fot. Jerry Labby, husband of the plaintiff, testified that the buflding claimed to have been damaged was buflt on a stone foundation, 18 of brick work above the ground and was bullt in 1909. In 1910 the sewer in question was built past the building. Rock was found 15 feet below the ground.and 16 holes for blasting purposes, wers drilled in the rock. The sewer trench was about 9 feet in width, witness said, Because of the blasting, Mr. Labby claimed, a crack about three feet in length appeared in one wall, causing one side of the bullding to settle. An- nother crack appeared in the cellar floor, this one about one-half inch in width and about ten feet long. Other damages were mentioned. ‘The case was not completed at ad- Journment and will be resumed today. The trial is before a jury, made up as follows: Fred S. Woodward, Brook- Iyn; George H.

BOOST OF $2,000,000. From State Board of Equalization For City’s Grand List. Putnam gets a boost of $2,000,000 on its grand list figures of 1912, from the state board of equalization, which add- ed to the grand list makes an approx- imate total of $5,500,000 .a town of- ficial said Thursday, upon which Put- nam will be called upon to pay a state tax for the next two years, this tax to be $11,000 per annum or $22,,000, approximately, for the next two years, which the taxpayers will be called up- oL to turn over to the state. This is taken to" mean that the local tax rate must be advanced. Although every town in Windham county, excepting. the town of Wind- ham, has had increases made to its lists' by the state board of equaliza- tion, this town has had the biggest jump, but one, made from the figures of the local officfals, just why has not been explained. The following Iist shows how Wind- ham county towns have fared: ' Pom- fret, $600,000; Killingly, $376,000; Plainfield, $2600,000 (largest in _ the county); Thompson, $1,250,000; Scot=- land, $26,000; Sterling, $125.000 ford, $25,000; Brooklyn, $450,000 terbury, '$86,000; Chaplin, $45,000; Bastford, $25,000; Hampton, $45,000; ‘Woodstock, $175,000. Adding these figures to the grand 1list of the towns will give a basis for figuring the state tax of one mill per year, The towns will be able to stand the assessment In every case, but a certain effect of the grand total that Windham county towns will pay into the state treasury will be to make representatives in the next general as- sembly very careful and thoughtful when big appropriation measures are pending. _ FOUND DEAD iN BED.
