Murphy rece! motice Wednesday cvening from Ass ant Secretary of State Davis, of the death of Consul Luther K. Zabriskie. at Aguascalientes, Mexico, last Monday, with the request that the postmaster no- tify the relatives in this city. The notice received ‘herc through the afficial channels of the state department was abouat twenty-four hours behind the private advices of the consul's death which were received here Tuesday after- noon. Waiting for rich relatives to die is & wretched way to live. i income from the $2,500,000 fund, et e The equitable taxation committee of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce and| omypynity in due the town assessors held a meeting Wed- nesday evening at which the. prevailing method of assessments on real estate was further discussed. A conclusion reach- ed at the meeting was that in order tnat an equitable system, such as prevails in every progressive community, can be established, the assessors must have the proper equipment to do the work. The first essential is a map indicating all the owners of real estate in the com- munity. The community is then block- ed off into sections and a fair basic value per square foot, is assessed throughout the entire community ; those in the rural districts being assessed on the per acre basis. By this method every owner of real cstate is placed on the same basis and every owner of real estate must pay on the same basis as his meighbor. It is obvious that this method will -limgn- ate the unsatisfactory as well as in- equitable system prevailing in this com- munity at present. It was decided. therefore, to investigate further along the line of procuring a standard relia- ble map such as the Sanborn map used in many citles throughout the country, to be used as the Initial step for fair as- sesme: The committee will further investigate the engagement of scientific assessors to establish a system for Nor- wich. While there has been a diver: of opinion as to the reliability of so- calied experts In takation methods. the fact remains that there are concerns whose business it is to make and inaug urate such assessments and whose rec- ords prove their reliabiiity after having stood the tests of court proceedings.
