HAVE PRELIMINARY MEETING ON REVALUATION OF PROPERTY The equitable taxation committee of the chamber of commerce and the town assessors met Wednesday night in the of- fice of the chamber on Shetucket street to discuss the prevailing method of as- sessing property-in Norwich. All present were agreed that the existing method inequitable and that there is a real ne for the establishment of some system Whereby ail properties shall be assessed oM a fair basis. This means first of all the establishment of an. equitable rate for every square foot of land throughont the community. Many pieces of taxable property, it is belleved, will be unearth- ed. It will dlsg mean that all owners of property ' shall be assessed on an equitable basis, thus eliminating the hit and miss method prevailing at present. Before anything can be done, the as- sessors must be provided with the nec- essary paraphernalia to do their work, it was pointed out. The community should be blocked off in sections, a thorough registration of all property owners se- cured, and an equitable basis for values throughout the community be es- It was agreed that it is very manifest that many thousands of pleces of property are in the tax list at ridic- ulously low figures and also true that some are in the list for more than was paid for the property. There also ex- ists many pieces of unimproved property which is being carried on the tax list at a figure that is ridiculous. The assessors and the committee will take the matter under serious considera- tion and will meet again within a few wecks to give further consideration to this matter. .

FINGERLING TROUT DISTRIBUTED IN CONNECTICUT STRE\MS Joy will rise in the hearts of Copnec- ’s 30,000 angiers over the aews that fingerling trout have Ween ce- posited in approximately 250 brooks and streams in the state by the state fish and game department. The trout are from five to six inches lopg. But Fish and Game Commissioner John M. C: is going to give these trout a ci a year's growth at least, as ie is going to ask the legislature to pass a seven- inch trout law, which would pastpone the time for catching the trout now deposit- ed in the streams until a year irom now. The present law requires that trout iak- en from the waters must'be six inches long. Over 500 applications had come from lovers of trout, in the brook amd on the platter, asking that deposits be' made ‘n streams proposed by them. Nearly all applications were answered Wwith a de- posit of trout, the rule being to deposit 200 trout at any one point. In the long- er streams many schools were depgsiied at ‘various points in the stream. What a man is and what he might be are as different as day and night. T. 8. 8. CUYAMA NORWICH BOY COMMANDER OF T. §. 8, CUYAMA, PACIFIC FLEET Norwich friends have received New Year greetings from Commander Isaac Bromley Smith, of U. S. S.,Cuyama, of the Pacific fleet. Commanfler Smith is the younger son of George S. Smith, of Niantic, formerly of Laurel Hill ave- nue, Norwich. The building of the U. S. S. Cuyama was authorized by act of congress March 3, 191b, and, the keel was laid at Mare Island Navy Yard, San Francisco, Dec. 15, 1915. Launching took place June 17, 1916, and on April 2, 1917, the vessel was commissioned wizh proper honors. Cuyamal is the name of a river in San- ta Barbara county, California, near the famous oil fields in that locality. It is an Indian name, and pronounced Kee- ya-mah. After the entry of the United States in the recent war, the Cuyama experi- enced service on both the Pacific and At- ic, arriving abroad in August, —~ ber, 1918 This vessel's record was un- cqualed by any trans-atlantic vessel prior to the armistice, having steamed 32,192 miles in hostiie waters, 23,937 miles of the total actually within the original bar- ed zone declared by @ rmany. The Cu- delayed a convoy, either leaving C~ at sea and carried the vice-commodore’s flag and acted as an armed escort in convoys comprising such vessels as the Adriatic, Olympic, Balte, and other ships of that type.

Ia this ecen- nection it will be emphasized that not the least thing that malaria does, and the thing it invariably does, is to &8 lower the di -resisting power of the viotim ,as to e him susceptidle o any lisease, while many are made per- manent invalide, One of the most graphic posters dis- plays three photographs. There - shallow pond of stagnant water; there is a small coftage; there is a larger house presumedly. containing meore pe>- sons. The pond hatches the mosquitoes. In t% cottage they find a persor or per- sons carrying the germs of some sort of malarial fever. _They bite these persons and draw in the germs. Then they trave: on to the residents- of the larger house and bdite other persons, discharging the erms and communicating the disease hlllh.lrlflflm"lfl‘.lllll}n only way in which malaria is comenun! cated and kept alive. ! ‘This disease, traceadble in Conmecticut as far back as 1670, has become one of the most familiar in the state. It as- sumed no serious propertions in this state, however, until after the Civil war. Many soldiers returning from the south- ern swamps brought it in their blood. In those days its manner of propagation was only guessed at, but it was sup- posed that its Zerms rose as a miasma from the swamps. + They did, but only ia recent years has It been understood that they rose on the wings of the mesquita. By 1332 this spreading had been so thoroughly done that the disease was found in every town in Connecticut. The number of deaths each year in the state from the disease was then running eon- siderably over 100/ In 1397 it was 127. Shortly after that, with the demonstra- tion in many of the worst mosquite-ia- fested regions on the,globe that elim- ination of mosquitoes would eradicate such diseases as yellow fever and mals- ria’ fevers, serious anti-mosquite werk wus begun in Conmecticut.
