RIFLE CLUB DEFEATED BY MERIDEN Match Shoot at Armory Results in Score of 2,325 to 2,248— New Range Used for the First Time In their first match with the Meri- den Rifle club, the Norwich Rifie club was defeated on Tuesday night by the score of 2325 to 2848. A unigue fea- ture of thé match lay in the fact that the teams shoc on their own ranges, the Meriden team ghooting in Meriden and the local team shooting at the armory. Both teams were supposed to_shoot on Monday night but the lo- cal team postponed their shoottag un- til Tuesday night because of the Chsr- ity ball, which was held on Monday night. The Meriden team went ahead with their part of the contest on Mon- day night and sent their target cards to Norwich on Tuesday. The local team used thelr new range at the armory for the first time at a regular shoot on Tuesday even- ing. The new range is a 76-footer, which is somewhat longer than the old. It is located at the right of the old range and the two target holes are protected by doors which are closed when the range is not in use. The individual results of the match are as follows: Meriden Rifle Club. F. Drechsler H. BEwers . F. Glossnak ‘W. Palmer Geo. Kroebe C. Glossnak F. Weher . C. Drechsler . F. Weber . H. Kupfer Allen M. Brand W. C. Blique . C. B. Palmer W. Fuller . ‘W. R. Dennison Harold Geer . L. Ortmann B. F. Brewster A. Brown . L. P. Johnson . Total ceresesecaa.. 2048 Five shots -u.nd.ln: and five shots prone. On next Monday night the Norwich Rifle club will compete against the Connecticut State College Varsity team, 20 shots prone. At the match Tuesday night Allen M. Brand was scorer and Walter Fuller was range keeper. OVER 100,000 TELEPHONE STATIONS IN STATE Annual Report of S. N. E. Directors Shows Increase of 7.1. In their annual report the directors of the S. N. E. Telephone company state that the increase in stations of all kinds was 8,284, or 7.1 per cent, this increase being made up of 8,190 stations owned and operated by the company and 94 connecting and mis- cellaneous stations. At the close of the year the total number of stations of all kinds, comprised of 122,437 com- pany stations and 2,123 connecting and miscellaneous stations, was 124,560, or one telephone for each 9.8 of popula- tion. Local traffic, or calls between sub-| scribers within the same exchange, was below normal for the first nine months and decidedly above normal for the last_three months, the average number of daily calls for the entire year re- maining practically constant with that of 1914. To make clear the extent of varlation which produced this average it may be stated that while the Janu- ary traffic showed a decrease of 20,000 calls per day as compared with the January trafic of 1914, December showed an increase of 50,000 calls per day over the traffic of December, 1914. This change is significant, not only in showing the rapidity and extent of in- crease toward the end of the year, but as indicating the high traffic conditions | that may be expected for 1916. Toll| trafiic showed a similar tendency to variation, though naturally to a less degree than the local traffic. WINDHAM COUNTY CASES IN SUPREME COURT.

NEW LONDON DEFENDING A $3000 SUIT Testimony Regarding Grade Change Heard in Superior Court. Al The city of New London is defend- ing a suit having as its basis the change of grades incident to the lay- ing of the new granolithic walks in 1911 in the superior court. The suit is brought by John W. Tripp of Cry4- tal avenue and s being tried before Judge Milton A. Shumway and the jury. Trial of the suit was started Tuesday morning. The plaintiff allege: tember, 1911, the city changed the grade in Crystal avenue and Adelaide street by r ing the highw so that his property, at the corner of the two that in Sep- streets, was damaged, leaving it about two feet below the surface of the nishway. Mr. Tripp, who conducts a grocery store in his building. claims that the change of grade has made entrance and exit accessible. It will be necessary for him to build from his store in- a refaining wall, do some filling and raise the foun n of his bullding to bring it on el with the street to remedy the age. He alleges that the city ha ken no steps to ascertain the extent of the damage and has made no effort to compen- sate him. He asks for $3,000 damages. The city makes a general denial of the charges. Attorney Charles B. Whittlesey, appears with Corporation C William B the city the jud question more inte mony. Attorney for the defens be isider the testi- George C. Morgan, , stated that he had no objection but he thought the recent snowfall might have covered the ground so that the change of grade and damage would not be evident. At- torney Whittlesey replied that the snow had not drifted but had fallen evenly and Judge imway stated that if there was no objection, the court and jury would inspect the pro- perty. They were taken to the Tripp property in hacks and automobiles and after their return to the court the testimony was begun. Before the jury inspected the prop- orty Mo B. Payne, civil engineer, exhibited and partially explained a map of the premises and he resumed his testimony on the jury’'s return to the court room. Befora court adjourned the plain- tiff's testimony was concluded and the defendant had introduced three witnesses, LOCAL TEAM LOST AT NEW LONDON. Y. M. C. A.

With all the members of the gas and electrical commission, in attendance except Charles E. Whitaker there was a lengthy discussion by the board on Tuecséay evening of the propositions which are before them for f: v to the city. Nothing signin are two or three which the board is wail to get more definite information about. The question of replacing the worn out boilers at the electric plant with new ones was considered however, and it was decided to ask the council to sanction the expenditure of $24,850 for the purchase and installation of two boilers of 450 horse power each. These will be larger than the two which they will replace and in the opinion of the board it is advisable that these should be installed whether it is eventually ined to purchase electric cur- e - to manufacture it themselv. The two boilers in question have passed their usefulness and it is nec- that new ones should be se- in order to keep the present up to a point where it can be operly operated ‘The boilers Jn their present condition are not suf- ficlent to meet the requirements. FOURTH ANNUAL OF TAX OFFICIALS’ ASSOGIA‘NON Governor Holcomb and Attorney Gen- eral Express Opinions on Tax Ques- tion. “When you hit a man's pocketbook you hit his most acute nerve and that is why he growis. He will spend $25 for pleasure, but he will complain if he is asked to pay a dollar In taxes,” ia Governor Holcomb Tuesday in cribing the view which the average citizen took on the payment of taxes. The statement of the chief executive was made at the opening of the fourth anni meeting of the tax officials as- sociation of Connecticut in the capitol. There were about 100 officials in at- tendance from all parts of the state. In the ence of the president, Dr. George Wilcox, of Willlmantic pre- sided. In his address to the officials Gov- ernor Holcomb said the office of as- sessor was an important one. The duties might make the Incumbent un- popular, but they should be honestly performed. He said it was generally admitted that the state of Connecti- cut had one of the best tax depart- ments in the country. He compli- mented Tax Commissioner Corbin on the manner in which he had develop- ed the department and on his work as the head of it. He warned towns against the folly of creating expenses and then laying a tax rate that would not yleld a revenue to meet them. He said sometimes the rate was 5 mills less than the amount required to meet the obligations incurred. In an indi- vidual that policy led to bankruptey and the result was the same in a town or a state. The public burdens must be borne by every one. Attorney-General George E. Hin- man_referred to the statutes govern- ing local taxation, and said they had been practically the same for many years. They had bDeen interpreted by the courts, and their meaning well established by dectsions and usage. Many of them had been the subject of litigation. The troubles therefore with the local tax officials were large- ly questions of fact. The same prin- ciples of honesty and falrness should exist between taxpayers and the towns as existel between Individuals. The moral view on the subject of taxation should be analogous to that which prevailed between persons. The at- torney-general referred to the changes in the taxing laws for state purposes, and said that unlike local taxing laws many of them were yet subject to opinion. The state officials needed the commiseration of the local officlals in- stead of the latter requiring the sym- pathy of the state officials. Willlam B.
