The next conference of superintendents, At the annual meeting of the Rhode Island Tax Officials’ association held ‘Wednesday in Providence the commit- tee on uniform rate of assessment made report. It contained a proposed act fixing June 15 as the day for all tax assessments in the stafte, and amendments' to the laws. to authorize the change. There was to the effect with reference to financial town meetings that are not held at uniform time. The report was finally approved and the committee was di- rected to have the act presented at the next session of the legislature and to urge adoption. Charles J. Tobin, secretary of the New York state tax conference, spoke on The Influence of State Associations on Improved Local Assessments. He said there was no such thing as im- proved local assessments, and assess- ment upon full valyation was the only way to avoid inequalities. George Pottle of Lewiston, Me., dis- cussed The State Board and Local discussion as’ Assessor, telling of the troubles and difficulties in assessments. He said that one of the most unique tax laws ever known was enacted in Rhode Island in 1673, providing that a person might be assessed upon “the guess of his neighbor.” He said if such a law was in force now revenue would be more plentiful. Governor Beeckman deelared he would do what he-could towards the enactment of the proposed law to es- tablish a uniform date of tax assess- ment. He told of inequalities af taxa- tion and how rich men came into the state and make a deal somewhere with somebody to tax him for $200,000 when it should be $1,000,000 or more. He cited the case of a woman who has personal property of $5,000,000 and is not' taxed for one cent. He urged all tax assessors to tax persoms what they think they should be taxed for. Mayor Gainer gave the address of welcome and Everett P. Mathewson of Hopkinton responded for the associa- tion.. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Levi S. Winchester of East Provi- dence, president; Robert S. Gash of Newport, E. A. Gould of East Green- wich, Caleb E. Moffitt of Smithfield, Herbert E.

A friend gaye Sam half a dozen ea hens from eggs in amlen nest in ‘woods, and fi‘;ey re almost as 4 as the partridge. ‘was transfer- hem from acrate to a cdop whén f the birds escaped and flew to a nearby chimney top. Sam tried to bring’ the bird down with an air rifle, but while the bullets struck the mark they did not remove the descendant of Guinea from the chimney top perch. Finally Sam got. his trusty hunting rifle, took deliberate aim, struck the bird, .and it fell on the inside of the chimney, as Sam did not even use the | judgment of a woodchopper in felling 2 tree. He shot from the wrong di- rection. The house is temporarily un- occupied, as the usual occupants are Sam is wondering whether the guu{ea hen is wounded and starving in that chimney or killed and roasted, or is lying dead and gaining strength with time, a strength that may be stifling, in the open hearth at the base of the chim- ney.
