Read of Pawtucket, vice president; George B. Arnold Warren, second vice president; Rob- S. Gash of Newport, third vice dent; E. A. Gould of East Green- , fourth vice president; N. M. Rey- lds of North Kingston, fifth vice president; Edward P. Tobie of Provi- dence, secretary; John Champlin of East Providence, treasurer; Zenes W. Bliss, Walter W. Burnham of Provi- dence and Emor Mowry of Smithfield, executive committee. ‘Willlam H. Corbin, Connecticut state tdx commissioner, spoke on Problems of State and Local Taxation at the morning session. He declared for an ‘acome tax in the state, saying: “If wour legislators see fit at their next session to pass an inheritance tax law it will be found perfectly reasonhbie and a great source of income.” He also spoke in favor of the appointment rather than election of assessors and of state supervision of their work. In reference to exemptions, he said: “Connecticut and Rhode .Island are about as liberal as any states in the union. The laws here are very far from being burdensome. It seems to me that before your ‘renaissance’ Rhode Island was the poorest and weakest state in this matter, but since the passage of your new law In 1912 there is no state that can claim a more effciently working system.” Mayor Joseph H. Galner made the address of welcome, and response was made by Walter H. Reynolds. He paid tribute to the mayor and predicted his election, saying Mr. Gainer was ve to face a congregation of asses- mors and in the face of his proved qualifications the voters would surely be fair, and “none but the brave de- werve the fair. Prof. Henry E. Gardner of Brown university gave a talk on The Theory of Taxation. Walter H. Burnham of Providence gave an address on The Operation of the Tax Law of 1912 from the Standpoint of a Local Assessor, and John E. O'Neill of Newport spoke of the gifficulties experienced in get- ting proper certifications of their prop- erty from the owners. President Kingsley's address referred to the value and necessity of requiring an individual tax list, and emphasized the importance of tax assessors keep- ing record of the sending or posting of all notices and of circumstances in the course of their business. He de- clared that from the viewpoint of the tax assessor tax lists should be a val- uable aid, and from that of the tax- payer, who has no desire to shift the burden of taxation and who = wants eqnal distribution of the burden, they could do no injustice. He advocated a uniform administration of the tax laws. Zenes W. Bliss, F. A. Davis and E. P. Tobie were appointed a committee to arrange for the summer outing. general public. It is now over a month since the town’s street working forca has used a pick, shovel or any other implement necessary in road improve- ment in Railroad avenue. An_excuse is given that the force is not large enough to be divided and instead of completing the work in Rail- road avenue, attention is being given to the roads at Weekapaug, Pleasant View and vicinity, where the work could be carried on without the inter- ference of or inconvenience to public traffic. In the meantime the Norwich and Westerly Traction company has relaid its track in Railroad avenue to con- form to the new grade line, and is ready to surface the road between the rails and 18 inches beyond, in con- junction with the work to be done by the town. Citizens suggest that the balance of the work in Ralflroad ave- nue be done by contract, on the ground that it could be done speedier, better and more economically by some local contractor than by the street depart- ment working force. Both the steam and trolley roads have aided in mak- ing this improvement possible and it has now reached a point where many citizens are wondering why the town does not co-operate. } Shortly after 1 o'clock Thursda; ternoon the Potter Hill firm alarm, which eonsists of six blasts from the whistle of the Pawcatuck Woolen mill, was sounded, and considerable excite- ment prevailed in the village. The cause of the alarm was a fire in the drying and stockroom of the mill, lo- cated in_a wooden structure of the plant. The mill fire brigade soon had effective streams of water on the blaze which were given much force by the powerful fire pump of the mill. There was work for the fire fighters for half an hour before the blaze was com- Dletely extinguished. The fire was presumably caused by the overheating of the journal of fan in the drying room and the fire was Kept confined to that room. The interior of the room was considerably burned, but the exterior of the build- ing was not damaged, except for a small space in the roof near the air- shaft. The mill firemen did work that would be creditable to a paid fire de- partment, or a volunteer departmenc more pretentious than the mill fire company at Potter Hill. The damage to machinery, stock and building will probably not exceed $2,500. To add to the excitement caused by the fire .in the usually quiet village, there was a runaway of a deliver, team from Westerly. The horse was hitched while the driver was de- ring goods and, without apparent provocation, the horse suddenly ran away. By the time the animal was stopped the wagon had been overturn- ed and partially wrecked, the packages were broken open and the contents strewn in the street. af- Local Laconics.
