A BIG PURCHASE.
It is known that for some time past an
English syndicate has been negotiating for
the purchase Of four cotton duck mills, and
now 1t Ia stated that the large Greenwood
concern in New Hartford, has actually been
purchased. 1t is the largest factory of it's
feeders of New Hartford, employing about
| 700 hands. A full description Of the man
| ufactory was given in tho COURIER some
| time ago. It's output Ia enormous, and In
| its business q capital of 100000 is en-
ployed. The value of the plant and busi-
ness is estimated at 81 100000. It is I'M.
derstood that the purchasers will make no
change in the management, but that they
look upon the control of this factory % put
ting them in position where they can largo
| ~ dictate terms for the other factories on
which there is hitch at present ~ to the
price.
The manager of the Greenwood company
will neither affirm or deny the statements
| of the purchase by the English syndicate,
and will give no information regarding the
sale.
THE SMALLPOX CASES IN wINsrED.
The board of health at Windsor Looks have
ordered the compulsory vaccination of ell
children under fifteen years of age, who have
not been recently vaccinated, and have fur
| nished to the physicians several hundred
| vaccine points for that purpose. She select
mon will pay the fee of ffty cents for those
who are not able to pay for themselves. DR.:
L. r. Burnap has been appointed to attend
| the smallpox patients who have been taken
| to the pesthouse; the other doctors did not
desire the practice. The club house of the
| Windsor Looks Gun club, located on the
plains west of the village. has been confiscat-
| ed and utilized as pesthouse; 1t is well
made building, and warm and comfortable;
everything had been done by the selectmen
possible, to insure to the patients the best Of
| care and attention. There are but two cases
of smallpox in town and there ia not much
| danger that the disease will spread. Tho
last case is that of q woman also employed
l In the rag room of the Seymour Paper COM
pany. She never was vaccinated and the
| physicians think her case will end fatally.
| WHO cAREsa
! Everybody cares. Every honest man and
| woman whose house, paid for or bought with
borrowed money, has to go into the Hartford
| tax list, cares when other property is removed
/ from taxation mere Dy an un1au device. 1uey
cannot carry their houses out of town and
hide them across the line. IT they transfer
| them to other people they are still taxed here
because they are here. An injury is done to
every honest taxpayer by every dishonest
dodger. That is one reason why the Courant
4 has hitherto advocated taxing our banks and
| insurance companies directly-the same tax
| levied on each share Of the same company
| by the State, and then this tax to be returned
| by the State to the towns whore the stock Ii
/ owned. That would end the motive for tax
lodging in these cases. Il would secure to
honest men Just as big return as the un-
scrurulous stockholders get and destroy the
| motive for evasion in that respect. There ID
no way now to get at the books OF corpora
tions and trace the tricks and transfers. If
ths object of making them were removed .
great step would be taken in the direction Of
fair play and equal taxation. Hartford
