N DAY, AUGUST o, 1913 Willimanti_c, Danigl‘s_p What Concert at the Going on Tonight. Wulimantie Camp Ground. . Thinks Assessors Underpaid. Dr. George E. Wilcox, chairman_of the town board of assessors, said Fri- day he was strongly of the opinion that a special town meeting ought to be called to vote an adequate compensa- democratic votes to the list. There was no action taken on the condition of the collections of the 1911 personal taxes or relative to how the enumera- tion of the personal tax list was made for 1912, Meatters that are of live-wire importance to the taxpayers. Complaint of Assault. Complaint was made at the police headquarters Friday evening that & Polander on Chapman street had as- Saulted by-striking a woman residing on that street. Lieutenant Killourey assigned the matter to Officer Manley for investigation. tion for the work of the assessors. It would not be too much, he said, to pay the chairman $500 per year for his ser- vices, as the larger part of the clerical and routine work comes on him. . Dr. Wilcox thought $200 per annum for each of the other ssors would not be unfair. The work next year will be increased by the further adjustment of the revaluation of Windham's grand list and the assessment of automobiles, motorcycies and pianos is no small job. That Dr. Wilcox has no personal axes to grind in this matter is shown in his statement that his professional du- ties are such that he will probably not be a candidate for re-election. Baltic Fire Losses Adjusted. A local insurance agency has ad- justed losses.caused by this week's fire at Baltic as follows: On Gordon Broth- ers’ stock, $902.50; C. F. Charron's loss, about $225.
