BARRIERS Consider sunday Closing
Cemetery Decorators Captured-An
Italian WeOdchopper Seriously
Wounded - Wedding Anniversary
Celebration.
A bill has been presented to the legisla.
ture by Representative Jones that was
drafted by Attorney @. A. Harrison. The
bill ia in the form of an amendment to the
present law which presoribes the duties Of
boards of relief by repeating the clause
which makes it their duty to equalize and
adjust the valuation and assessment list of
towns. If this becomes law it will
amount to complete revolution of the
policy of the state in providing, as has al
ways been the case until now, for a revision by
boards of relieve of the doings of assessors It is
safe to assume that the law will remain as it is.
Attorney Harrison, who drafted the bill, ap-
peared before the committee at Hartford yester-
day afternoon. The matter was not reached and
went over for an assignment. If the legal opin-
ion given the board of relief here In January by
Mr. Harrison that the law it now is does not au-
thorize them to make general readjustment Of
tax lists but restricts them to cases of individu-
ais, is correct, it would seem quite unnecessary
to ask for the repeal which the present bill con-
templates.
