Tax Revision Discussed and Valuable
Suggestions Made-The New England
Road Train Service.
An interesting meeting of the board
of trade was held last night, j. K.
Smith presiding in the absence of Presi-
dent Lake.
&. NJ. Epson addressed the board in
regard to the rumor published in the
DEMOCRAT, that the train for Hartford
at 8 a. m. and the train returning from
the east at 5: 10 in the afternoon, were to
be discontinued. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the members that Waterbury
could not spare either of these trains,
and the following resolution offered by
Mr. Plat, was adopted, and the secre-
tary instructed to forward copy of the
same to the railroad company:
Whereas, it is understood that the
management of the New York & New
England railroad company contemplate
discriminating the passenger train
which leaves Waterbury for the east at
9:05 a. m. and arrives at 5:15 p. m, for
the west and
Whereas, it is the opinion of the
board of trade of Waterbury that such a
course of action will operate to the dis
advantage of the railroad company as
we'll as to the injury of the citizens of
Waterbury; therefore be it
"Resolved, that the board of trade of
Waterbury enter its most earnest pro-
test against the discontinuance of the
train and beg the management of the
New York & New England railroad
company to postpone taking such action
| without further confederation"
The subject of tax revision was then
taken up and discussed at great length.
Thomas Kelly suggested that a COM
mittee of the board of trade be ap-
pointed to act with the tax revision
committee and give hearings to all
property owners whose taxes had been
raised. Mr. Cross and others favored
the plan.
Mr. Lilley thought the whole matter of
tax revision political job and thought
the money spent in the search could be
recovered by the city. Mr. Lilley saw a
job in every public improvement. On
the Naugatuck turnpike, he said, $780,
900 had been spent to benefit two men.
He concluded by saying that $50, 900
would build an almshouse suitable for
Water bury. If we are going to have a
$50, 900 palace for buns, it might be
appropriate to build it on the green.
Secretary Sawyer, J. II. Hart, Mr.
Platt and others, thought that If capable
men were elected for assessors, there
would be no need of tax revision COM
mittee. 1t was finally decided to con-
tinue the discussion at the next meeting.

The other day I heard man open the
walls of his wrath upon an officer in the
discharge of his duty, for being un-
necessarily rough, when, in fact, it was
the officer who was being abused. The
man was drunk and disorderly. He
fought and kicked and refused to go.
The officer would have been fully justi-
fed in clubbing the prisoner, yet he did
not, and finally landed him in the sta
ton house without rendering him a
subject for doctor. The crowd that
collected was a study. In the fore
ground was a woman. She wanted the
policeman to be very careful and not
hurt the man or tear his clothes. One
man said the officer was a chump and
ought to be discharged for incom-
potency. Another, after the prisoner
had kicked a slice of cuticle off the
policeman's knuckles, suggested a free
use of the club. Through it all the
officer maintained his composure. II
