The meeting was held in Pythian hall, and at the opening hour every available seat was occupied by the members of the council and visiting knights from every councli in East- ern Connecticut. ~ Occupying seats. on the platform with Grand Knights Ed- ward Driscoll were Mayor T. C. Murphy, Revs. J. H. Fitzmauice, W. H. Kennedy, F. J. Kuster, Myles P. Gal- vin of this city, Revs. J. V. E. B langer and J. H. Landry of Baltic. Rev. P. J. Morrissey of Voluntown and State Lecturer Rev. Willlam A, Keefe, of Plainfield. There were also the following state officers and visiting grand knights: State Advocate J. J. Collins of New London, Past District Deputy M. J. Sullivan of New London, and these srand knights: P. J. Ducy of Sea- side council, New London, Virtune P. A. Quinn of Ponemah council, Taft- ville, J. Frank Cunningham of San Jose STATE WILL LOSE MUCH IN REVENUE. Through New Basis Upon Which State Tax Is Levied. It is believed that the state will lose a substantial sum from the change which the general assembly made in the_ basis of levying the state tax. Heretofore, the basis of the tax was the rate. Now the rate is negligible. The law passed at the last session for the imposition of the tax making no mention of & rate, but states a lump sum which is to be paid by the towns, in proportion to the amount of taxes which each pays. The total amount of the levy is $1,750,000 per year for the next two fiscal vears. Out of this amount the sum of $500,000 is to be taken for a sinking fund. The levy is ap- proximately equivalent to a mill and a half on the grand list of the state. The state tax of one mill realized last year a little over $1,100,000 on a grang list which amounted to a triflle in excess of $101,000,000. There will be a substantial increase in the future in the grand list, but the state will not derive any benefit from it. If the levy of the state tax was on a rate basis this increase would result in an addition to the revenue, but under the terms of the law imposing the tax of one and cne half mills the state treasurer cannot be benefited by any increase in the value of the taxable property of the state. In some well informed quarters it is thought that with the growth of the grand list-the revenue from the tax rate of a mill and a half would, before the time expired for the levying of the tax, amount to over_ $2,000,000. Deputy Treasurer B. Frank Marsh regrets that the general assembly departed from its traditional policy of assessing the grand lists of the varlous towns of the state. He believes the plan of requiring the towns to pay according to the mount which they collect in local taxes will give a great deal of dissatisfaction throughout the state. He says it will have the effect of penalizing the prosressive towns and cities which decide to increase taxes so as to provide for local improve- ments. There is disappointment in treas- ury circles that the general assem- bly did not adopt the suggestion that a half mill tax be laid for the sinking fund. The statute places the limit of the amount which may be added to the sinking fund each year at $500,000. The hope was held out by the committee on finance that a half million a year would be sufficient to build up a fund that would be able to meet the bonds of the state as they fell due for redemption. But the outlook does not give promise for the reali- zation of this hope. The total amount, even with accrued interest, will fail far short of the amount of the bonds. It is evident that the work of the committee on finance at the session of 1915, will not prove the satisfac- tory solvent of the financial prob- lem: of tho state that was promised for it. GAVE ENTERTAIMENT AT STATE HOSPITAL Academy Musical Clubs Were Heard in Pleasing Programme. The three organizations at the Free Academy, the Musical club, the Girls' Glee club and the Boys' Glee club, with their directors, Frederick H. Cranston, Miss Helen Kelley and J. C. Overbagh, went by special car at 6.45 Saturday evening to the Norwich State Hospital, to entertain the pa- tients. The car carried 90 passengers. A company of nearly 400 had as- sembled in the recreation hall and showed appreciation of the excellent program provided by the three organ- izations, as well as of several songs by Miss Elaine Hitchon. From 9.30 till 11.30 there was danc- ing, during which punch was served. The musicians returned to town on a special car at 11.30. NOT MELROSE YOUNG MAN. Body Found in Willimantic Not That of Dwight Parker. The grief of Mr. and Mrs, David O. Parker of 93 Linde street, Melrose, Mass., over the reported death of their son, Dwight Parker, in Willimantic, Conn., turned ‘into joy Friday grening when' they received word from himi from Harrisville, N, H, that he Is alive and well. The body of a young man found in a box car in_Willimantic was believed to be that of Parker, because a diary con- taining the name and address, “D, L. Parker, 26 Lynde street, Melrose,” and ahout $2 in change and a pawn check were found in the pockets. The police there got in touch with the officers, who broke the news to Mr. and Mrs. Parker. It was later learned, however, that young Parker was robbed of a suit of clothes in the New Hampshire town a few weeks ago, and the Willimantic police _believe the - young man found Qead there was the probable purloiner of Parker's clothes. Parker has been employed as a plum- ber in Harrisville for the past three months. Given May Basket. Mrs, E. A.

The work was of a high order and at the conclusion of the exercises the degree team. was given a great deal of_commendation. Following the exemplification a buf- fet lunch was served the visiting knights. is is the second time this season, that White Cross council has exem- plified the third degree, snd each time upon a large class. Undar the lead- ership of the present board of officers the council is making remarkable gains in membership, and few, of any councils in Connecticut show any greater progress in every movement which tends to promote the advancy ment of the principles of Columbian- ism. DR. BLACK IS OUT AS HEALTH OFFICER In New London—Resigns Because of Interference, He Says. Alleging _ interference by Aeting Mayor Alton T. Miner with his duties as health officer, Dr. J. Torrington Black Saturday morning handed New London’s chief executive his resigna- tion, to take effect June 1st. Dr. Black said that Friday he was visited by Acting Mayor Miner and re- quested to withdraw the two watch- men thet have been enforcing quaran- tine laws at the home of Roland Per- kins of No. 321 Crystal avenue. The health officer was reluctant _about granting the request because of crit- icism he would receive by removing the watchmen after having them ordered to remain on duty indefinitely and also because it would humiliate him if it was represented by members of the Perkins family that the health officer ‘was compelled to withdraw the offi- cers. Finally he consented to withdraw the watchmen when assured by Acting Mayor Miner that the observance of quarantine would be continued strictly and that unfavorable utterance by the members of the Perkins family would not be made. Someoné in the Perkins family im- mediately gou messages circulated by means of telophone to the effect that the health officer had been compelled to remove the watchmen by ‘the acting mayor. Saturday morning, according to Dr. Black, he received a telephone call from Acting Mayor Miner and in re- sponse went to the acting mayor's store, where he was requested to re- move the quarantine from the Perkins residence entirely, Having considered the placing back of the watchmen at the house because of the talk that the Perkinses were credited with giving out, the health officer so informed the acting mayor. One word led to another in the course of the discussion as to the request of the acting mayor for the removal of quaraatine and the inten- tion of the health officer to put back to work the watchmen and Dr. Black inquired “I guess you want my resig- nation, don’t vou?’ Recelving a reply in the affirmative from Acting Mayor Miner, Health Officer Black replied: “Well, here it is.” HOW BOY SCOUTS WILL COOPERATE. With Sons of Veterans in Hartford on Memorial Day. In a letter to The Hartford Times, Henry E. Gage, secretary of the joint Memorial day committee in that city, explains the part tha tthe Boy Scouts are to play in the observance of the day. His letter is called out by the following item. Superseded. “Up in Hartford, a considerable amount of the work of decorating the veterans' graves Memorial day will be done by Boy Scouts. There can be no question but what they will do the work well, but where are the Sons of Veterans " The above from The Norwich Bul- letin has been copied _extensively throughout the state and a state- ment of the facts in the case may make clear the conditions in Hart- ford regarding the part to be taken by the Boy Scouts this year. There are some 1,260 graves of veterans to be decorated on Memorial day. Of this number 1,000 will be deco- rated in the morning by members of the Grand Army, Sons of Veterans and Spanish-American War = Veter- ans. In the afternoon parade to Spring Grove cemetery it has been the cus- tom to have carried on trucks some 250 baskets of flowers to be placed upon the veterans' graves in that cemetery by the Sons of Veterans and Spanish-American War Veter- ans. This year the Boy Scouts have offcred their services on Memorial day from sunrise to sunset. The committee appreciates the fine spirit which prompted this ‘of- fer, and decided that the boys should be’ “allowed to carry the baskets, before mentioned, in_the parade, ard upor arriving at the cemetery they should place these 250 baskets, under the direction of the commit- tee, upon the graves in three sections of that cemetery. One of the “cardinal principles of the Sons of Veterans is to sacredly observe all national holidays, espe- clally Memorial day, and to persuade others from the giving over of that day to games, festivities and sports In interesting the Boy Scouts in the work of Memorial day they feel that they are teaching patriotism and that the boys of today will, Wwhen they are the men of tomorrow, remember Memorial day and keep it sacred to the memory of those who died in defense of their country. 1 can assure The Norwich Bulle- tin that the Sons of Veterans are today better equipped than ever to perform the duties assigned them and that their sphere of usefulness is becoming larger each year, as the ranks of the Grand Army grow smaller.

William Tilley, Jr, Put Under $2,000 luns Away from Home— Signs of Mental Derangement. ¢ TAFTVILLE - Miss Nellie Schofield Entertained Friends—John Cady Thrown from Motorcxcle—Notes. The trial of William Tilley, Jr., on a charge of assault with Intent to kill ‘was held before Justice Briggs in Can- terbury Saturday. Tilley chansed his plea from nolo to not gullty and was bound over to the superior court under a $2,000 bond. The bond was furnished by his mother, Mrs. A. H. Sanford, and Tilley was released. As soon as Tilley Was released he went to the Packer- ville postoffice, where he accosted Charles B. Montgomery and, according to the story told by Montgomery, Tilley accused him of sending in a notice to The Bulletin stating that he had shot some man and that a sheriff reading the piece had arrested him. That he further stated he took the matter up Wwith The Bulletin and they settled the matter for $22,000 and instructed Tilley to get after him (Montgomery) for sending in such a report. Later Tilley went to his home and sent his mother to the postoffice with letters to mail and while she was gone he picked up his belongings and ran down the road towards Plainfield. At the Plainfield depot it was learned that Tilley took the 6.45 train toward Norwich, but nothing has been heard from him since. It is the general opinion of the people in Packerville that Tilley is suffering a mental attack. Franz Mager, the vic- tim of Tilley’s assault, left the Backus hospital Saturday _afternoon. The shooting took place at Paekerville on Wednesday, May 5th, when Tilley came upon Mager talking to Miss Gam- ble, Tilley’s sister-in-law, in front of the Tilley homestead. REAL ESTATE CHANGES.
