The women were badly frightened as the
man followed them into the their hall

with all their power and their screams
soon brought, a large crowd to their as

THE QUESTION OF TAXES.
Mayor BaIdwin's Plan Endorsed by til
New Haven News.

Mayor BaIdwin's Plan Endorsed by the
New Haven News.
Speaking of Mayor Baldwin's plan to
bring about equality of taxes In Water
bury, the New Haven News says:
1t is a well-known fact that the tax
able property in Connecticut is ridicu-
lousy out of proportion to the real
value. The levying of a state tax on
the town grand lists has led to this con-
each town to shift part of the burden to
its neighboring town. There has, in
fact, been a competition between towns
of nearly equal consequence as to which
could return the lowest consistent grand
list.
When the state ceased to collect its
tax, it was pointed out that the reason
for low assessments had been removed,
and that general marking up could be
made. 1t is to this that Mayor Baldwin
directs attention. The time has come to
make an INVENTOR, he says, and that
should be reached through a thorough
re assessment. The recommendation in
Waterbury is equally to the point in
New Haven and elsewhere throughout
the state.
1t has been argued that there is no
material difference to the taxpayer
whether the assessment be low and the
tax rate high, or the assessment be high
and the tax rate low. But there may
he disadvantages to the Omaller tax
payer in the system of Unfortunately low
assessments. In the absence of any
system of assessment, it is certain that
large proportion of property escapes
the lists and the taxes. 1t is equally
certain that it is not the small home
stead of the workingman which es
capes. That which escapes is the
property of those who are best able tt
bear the tax burden.
| There is also another reason for re
assessmant to near the point of actua
value. The resultant high valuation
and the low rate of taxation would be {
decidedly better advertisement for ar
enterprising community than the exist
ing high rates. Capital seeking invest
ment, and industries seeking a location
are not likely to he versed in the reason
or as to the meaning, of our high rates
of taxation, and will naturally go where
the outward appearance of things prom
ises better.
The economic and scientific reasons
for making the change recommended
need not be recited. They could not b.
expected to appeal as strongly as TIN
material reasons to a people who hav'
been engaged for years in a systematic
effort at tax lodging.

ACCIDENT ON THE NEW ENGLAND.
Tracks Torn UP Near New Britain Last
Night.

NSOtO1Ni -|iN NEW GIN0LftINOs
Tracks Torn UP Near New Britain Last
Night.
Traffic on the New England road near
the Black Rock bridge in New Britain
was delayed nearly two hours last night
owing to an accident to the east-bound
passenger train which leaves New Bri-
tain for Hartford at 7:15. AS the rear
car passed the dispatch station west of
the bridge the rear truck jumped the
switch and ran upon the side track for
several rods. The rails on both tracks
were bent and the rails and ties torn up
from the roadbed. Soon after the train
passed under the bridge the tracks be-
gan to widen and the rear car was
thrown from the track and bumped
along some distance before the train
men noticed the Il ouble. The track for
an eighth of a mile was torn up and a
huge furrow of sand and cobble stones
was ploughed up by the car wheels.
The section gang was sent out and
Strengthened the main track tempora-
rily, so that later trains passed over it
slowly during the evening. No one was
injured.
Francis Gallagher of East Hartford, a
| brakemen on the New England road,
was taken to the Hartford hospital
about midnight last night with an in
iured knee. He was riding on carload
of lumber and as the train passed under
the Laurel street bridge one of the up
right timbers used to keep the lumber
on the car struck the bridge and was
broken. The broken piece fell on Gal
lagher's knee. He was taken on to
New Britain and brought back to Hart
ford later.
Charles L. Rogers, another New Eng
land road brakeman, was struck by the
tender of an engine at East Hartford
yes teday. He was taken to the hospi.
! tai, but is not seriously injured.
