Grove of New Hay ven and bound him over to the. Janu- ary term of the superior court in bonds of $1,000, which were fur- nished. Grove was accused of Ob- taining lumber to the value of $500 Petition Filed in Superior Court by John Docket—Receivet’s Monthly Report on H. B. Porter’s Af- Held for Criminal Term of trom the Thames River Lumber Cg., by alleged false pretences and 20 keégs of nalls, valued at $60, from Simon L. Ewald of the Lyon & Ewald Co. by similar methods. Grove was accused of having rep- resented to the ement of the Thames River r Co. and to Mr. Bwald that he was sole owner of a tract of land on Connecticut avenue, where he proposed to erect several three tenement houses. Later the iumber -company learned through re- forring to the town records that the property was heavily mortgaged an Bhor“aye alioged to have informed the accused that unless some means, could be suggested by which they could ob- tain’a priof llen, his credit would be shut off. Grove was unable to meet the requirements of the company of- ficlals - and later they went to the Connecticut_avenue property and re- claimed all but a small amount of the lumber which was furnished under a previously signed agreement. In the case of the nails it was al- leged that Grove a few hours after | the delivery.of the 20 kegs, negotlated for thefr sale to different persons in the city. When a deal for their sale was _finally = closed the purchaser called it off, when he learned that they were not paid for. Grove departed from New London, according to the evidence, the day fol- lowing the nail transaction and did not return.until he was brought back in the custody of the state police.

L. Newton Tells of the Essentials of a Good Kindergarten. F. L. Newton addressed the kinder- garten teachers at their monthly meeting in Broadway school Thurs- day afternoon on the Essentials of a Good Kindergarten. To be worthy of such a rating a Kindersarten must justify its cost, produce indispensable results and be in harmony with and preparatory to .primary work. Mr. Newton took up in detail cer- tain habits children should form in the kindergarten. He emphasized the opportunity the child’s first school teacher has of inculcating one's atti- tudes towards the school, toward his fellow pupfls, the teachers and school property. An interchange of kinder- garten and first grade work was ad- vised. That is, some kindergarten ac- tivities may profitably be continued in first grade, likewise some grade work may well be started in the kin- dergarten. The needs of the children irom nine \English speaking homes was touched upon with special refer- ence to training in English. In some way these children must be given the literature suited to their age as a foundation for later work in English. The importance of honest praise and the proper use of commendation were emphasized. . -Other essentials that re- salt” il the highest ard best devélbp- ment of the Young child were dis- cussed, bringing to a conclusion a most helpful and interesting talk.

Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup. Connecticut was ' foremost among all the states in permitting her ent ris- ing citizens to create an oyster farm- ing industry. During the past ten vears she has by unwise legislation taken the lead toward ita destruction. “One of the most depressing influ- ences has been the unjust and un- reasonable taxaticn of oyster grounds. “Prior to 1893, the law with, refer- ence to the taxation of the franchises for oyster grounds, was that the grounds should be assessed at their fair market Value, and should pay & tax of ten mills upon this valuation. The basis for this taxation was that oyster farming was analegous to farm- ing on land. Both are food producing and both depend upon the propoga- tion and planting of crops by the farmer. In both crops must be har- vested and marketed when they arrive at maturity, if not lost during the five vyears of growth required for oysters. “When this law was enacted, it ap- peared that the dverage tax upon farm lands of the state was about ten mills on actual market values and as oyster farming was more hazardous than up- land farming and as the property in- volved was less protected by law than property on land, it was considered that ten mills was a sufficient and rea- sonable rate of taxation. The taxa- tion of oyster grounds was analagous to that of farms, rather than to that of city property, *because the oyster ounds could not partake of the ben- erits of taxation such as are derived by city propery they need no fire protection: no sewers or public works ind; nc lamps! no building de- no educational expense, rect pavements, sidewalks ., ete. All these items fur- nish reasons for the additional taxes vhich In many ‘cities amount to 20 mills intead of ten mills, as upon farms in the country. “In 1593 it was called to the atten- tlon of the legislature that the oyster grounds situated from one to four miles from land, In the open waters of Long Island sound, were of neces- sity more subject to depredation than any property on land, because the navigable waters are a lawful high- way which is traveled by every kind of boat and vessel by night and by day ‘After a lons discussion in the gen- taxes upon the oy shell fish commisioners were author- 1 to expend this amount in oyster ico - for’ the ~protection of the ters on these exposed grounds. The shell fish commission, Whose personnel had been changed after the Investigation of 1888, called aconsul- tation of oyster growers of the state, and methods were devised for the ex- penditure of this additional tax in such ways as seemed to the oyster growers and to the commissioners best adapted to protect these proper- ties. Misled by _incorrect information, the legislatures during the past four years, have added one hardship after another in the treatment of the oys- ter farmers. “While the law permits the assess- ment of oyster grotnds at their mar- ket value, they have been made in fact, 10 and 20 times as much as they were 10 years ago. - Oyster grounds that have been assessed at 35,000 have been publicly offered for sale for $500 or_oven $250: “The oyater farmers - have been wrongly ~ deprived of many thousands of acres of lands under forms of law, by means of making the assessments s0 high that the owners were com- pelled to give up_their lands rather than pay the exorbitant tax: These lands were bought for each from the state, and taxes were pald upon them for 30 years, but they were practically robbea from their owners. “The same official who in 1908 as- sessed a piece of ground at between 35,000 and $9,000, assessed it in 1914 for $125,985, -more than 14 times what he had assessed it at in 1908, and the rule of assessment according to law-on both of those dates, .was the “fair” both of ‘those dates, was the “fair market value.” “This is only one illustration of many hundreds in ‘which oppressive injus- tice infilcted upon the oyster in- dustry, But not only was the law vio- Jated with reference to assessment, but the rate of taxation has been doubied 80 :§¢ it is now 20 mills on the dollar of - yaluation, ahd oyster grounds three miles from land that can enjoy none of the protection or bene- fits of the city government, as re- quired to.pay a’revenue at the same rate os real estate:in the centre of a rs ity Girls are acting as caddies on Brit- ish golf links. - OPEN NOSTRILS!
