Assessors Preparing Statement Required Every Four Years —Includes All Exempt Property In Town—Last Time It Was $7,496,000—Peculiar Ruling On Cemetery Valuation. ing hours. -We are open and ‘ready for business at 8.15 a.m. oo v Evening MORE BUYING DAYS THEN CHRISTMAS commercial enterprise, all cemetery property has to be reported as exempt and the directions given to determine at what figure to put it in are whac surprise the Norwich assessors. It is directed that the value of cemetery land should be calculated on the basis of what contiguous land is worth, hav- ing regard to the purposes for which it might be used, and from this esti- mated amount should be deducted the estimated cost of removal of bodies and the gravestones. It is a question in the assessors’ minds whether such The three assessors—John P. Mur- Phy, Michael J. Curran and Jeremiah J. Donovan—have gone about half through the lists handed in by the tax Payers of the town, taking them In alphabetical order, in their considera.- tion of the amounts submitted for tax- ation and in the inspections which have been necessary to satisfy the minds of the assessors at what figure to allow any property to go into the list. This week they were working on the names under the letter K, which, Clerk Cur- Hand Mirrors, Triplicate Mirrors, Shaving Mirrors This is a gift that is always appre- ciated. You cannot have too many Tan said, he considered about half way through the list when this letter wa finished. In addition to the regular work, thi board of assessors this year have t make out for report commissioner a complete list of all th. exempt property in the town. This i made up once every four years. Th t time that it was made up for Nor wich by a previous-board of assessor: the report occasioned considerabl €0 was over $36,000,000 of exempt proper- t¥. This was later cut down to § 000 when a number of big items ers taken from it which it was found had been included by error. One of the points that seems pe culiar to the local board in the iIn structions given by the state tax com missioner regarding reporting exemp property relates to the report on cem etery property. Except in the case o cemetery associations which are to the state tax mment all over the state, as the total a an expense would not greatly exceecw the value of the land in the case of most cemeteries. Autos and Motoreycles. The assessors have made up a com= plete list for taxation of automobiles s o o e s [ and motorcycles owned in the town by e | using the registration list. After the _ i lists that had been turned in by the s | owners themselves, the assessors found e | it necessary to make up 48 lists. Some of these may be for machines that - | have been transferred or are no longer owned by the names which are attach- ed to them in thu register, but if so this can be shown by the persons as- sessed. There is a total of 290 auto- mobiles which are assessed, according to the lists turned in by owners and the lists made by the assessors. t| In motorcycles there are 74 assessed, of which 35 were listed by their own ! ers and 39 were placed in the list by the assessors. o TO HAVE CAROLS ON PRINTED SHEETS | Provided for Singers at Municipa Christmas Tree Exercises.

SKIN ERUPTIONS Evidence of Impure Blood and a Run- Down Condition. | ‘When the blood becomes thin, poor, devitalized nature cries out such external evidence for help, and the safest, surest and most helpful remedy we know is Vinol. This .is because it is a combina- tion of the two most world famed tonics—the medicinal curative ele- ments of cod liver oil (without the oil) and tonic iron for the blood. Vi- nol strengthens the digestive organs, creates a hearty appetite, purifies and enriches the biood, creates strength. Mrs. Helen Wingate, St. Louis, Mo., say: “I was ‘in very poor health nervous, and riun-down. and nothing in the way of medicine did me any good until my druggist recommended Vinol, + It built up my health, re- stored- strength and I feel that I owe my life to Vinol. I cannot praise it too_highly.” We_say positively there is nothing like Vinol to purify and' enrich the blood and build up weak, run-down people.
