Soldiers Should Not Neglect to APP
 to the Hoard of AssessOrs.

Soldiers Should Not Neglect to Apply to the Board of Assessors.
 No sooner have one years taxes been paid than the property holders of this city begin to be bothered by those to come. The law requires each taxpayer to see to it that he is correctly rated on the grand list within twenty days after the first Monday in Janu- ary, and all applications for abatements must
 be made within that time. After the grand
 list is sent to Hartford no mistakes growing
 out of the negligence of taxpayers can be reetified. All who are entitled to exemption on s1 900 worth of property because they were soldiers, or the' wives or mothers of soldiers, should bring their discharge papers before the Board of Relief. It is a question whether they can get exempted after the grand list is sent to Hartford. The New Haven assessors say they cannot. The Board here construe the law so that if a soldiers widow owns property and his mother owns property also, each can get the $1 1000 ex- emption, but if the soldier is alive and holds property on which the $1 ,000 is granted, his wife cannot have her property exempt, though standing in her name, because some soldiers have made over to their wives some of their property for them to keep,
