JOSEPH cAssIOY'S WILL.
Heirs Want Time of Appeal From
 Probate Extended.

Heirs Want Time of Appeal From
 Probate Extended.
 The affairs of Joseph Cassidy were be- fore the judiciary committee yesterday on the petition of his heirs to extend the time for appeal from probate. John ONeill of Waterbury and NJ. E. Culver of Middle town appeared for the heirs-at-law and Judge Henry B. Stoddsrd, ex-State Secre- tary J. J. Phelan and Judge Richard Gleeson of Meriden represented the lega- tee. Father McAlenny of Meriden. It is claimed by the heirs that Mir Cassidy was not of sound mind when he made the will, that he was unable to transact business at the time and could not recognize people whom he knew. and that he was unduty influenced by the legatee.
 It is also claimed by them that they were prevented from taking an appeal within the legal time by representations made by Father McAlenny, who told the heirs-at-law to remain quiet as they were provided for in the will and everything would be all right It was not until some time after Mir Cassidy's death, they say, that they knew he had left a will, and when they learned there was will and that Father McAlenny was the sole lega- tee. they applied to the probate court of Waterbury for letters testimentary on the estate. This phase of the case went to the superior court. where it was decided that | Cassidy's place of residence was in Meri- den at the time of his death. An appeal from the probate of the will could not then be taken and the petition was l brought to the general assembly.
 In his remarks before the committee. &C., cording to the Courant. Attorney ONeill said that Father McAlenny exhibited a certified copy of the inventory in which the building Mir Cassidy owned in Water. bury was put in at S1 100, when it was s35, ,000. During his life MT Cassidy had been offered $35, ,O00 for it by one man and &3S, ,000 by another. both of which he re- fused. The inventory made no mention of mortgage of 5000 on the buildi nl adjoining which Mir Cassidy was known to have held at the time of his death. The inventory filed gives the value of the es tate at about SIS 900.
 Judge Stoddard denied some of the de tailed statements of MT O'Neill, and saiG that Father McAlenny had given large DOT tions of this property to charitable pur poses and to the heirs-at-la law. He claimed that the Waterbury building was valued al $ll ,00O in the inventory and that it wa! erroneously transferred to the records a S1, 100. Judge Stoddard said thGR tn, heirs-at-law had the opportunity to try thu case on its merits when the matter wa before the superior court, when couuSe for Father McAlenny were willing to tr. the validity of the will before judge but would not go before jury with il. fol the possibilities of disagreement of tn jury were recognized. There is alway such n chance in trials by Jury, he said and the case could just as we'll be tried ol its merits before the judge.

Amount in excess of Licenses. 13S. .616 76
 I have not included tLe state and com mutation tax. which amounts to SI1S,- 5l7.O4 in the past ten years, which is nearly all a city account. The amount appropriated for schools, $50, 992, which the editor has charged to the town in hIs calculation, Is entitled to A credit of $l5, 19l, 50 received from the school fund. which then would leave the amount chargable to the town $35, ,200.50 or an average of 8, 520O5 per year.
 It seems to me entirely unnecessary to go into any further details Tn regard to the old issues. Let us come down to simple and practicable facts and lay this argument as to what has been doLe aside, and See what conclusion We arrive at. The valuation on the city grand list foots up this year SIP 142 ,4l0 and the valuations on the grand list outside the city bound ary amounts to $1 ,690, ,272 That would make the town in equity liable to 7.lS as their proportion of taxes. according to the grand list completed for 1895. The total expenditures from 1885 to 1895 inclusive amounts to S1 ,095 14i.l6. Divide this amount by 1.1S and you see exactly what the town has paid for the past ten years. Now according to these figures the town has actually walked up to the captains office. and paid without any Crumbling s152 ,3S9.15. an average of SIS. .23S.92 per year. Suppose I figure on the supposition that the town and cit- divide their expen- ditures, and each corporation pay its own bills, what would be the result? will take the valuation of the property lying outside the city boundary amounting to $l ,69O, PIP, which appears on the grand list for 1895. and take if you please the average tax for the past ten years. which amounts to 1 ] mills according to the fig ures given by the editor of the Republi- can. and it would give the town a revenue of $S COG p. There is no question but II | is entitled to its share of the money re. | ceived for licenses, which I have figured | on a pro rata basis. The amount paid | into the town treasury for licenses last year was SG2 937 0O divided by 7.lS theil proportion and the town would receive $S.71O.47. Now add the credit from th, school fund, $2, l4S 75. and the military | tax, $1 POO, with the dog tax of $50. ant the total revenue would amount to $20, ,S7l | Deduct the average Sl5, ,23S 92. which the town has paid per year for the past ter years, which Is all it ought to pay il | equity. Deducted from the S2O S71 I you will discover that the town has beeI paying s. .G32. .52 for the advantages it get from city improvements. There seems tt be two stories to tell in regard to this con solidation business. and you should weigh the evidence very carefully before you de eide on consummating this propuse' charter project.

$33, ,365. s27,9l5 se, 6, 450.

 Proposed Increase, 6,450.
 Now let us see what these tabulated figures signify. It apparently adds $5. 45O instead of "wipipg out" lot of salaried offices as the editor would lead the public to believe. I cannot comprehend why some people have been so persistent in claiming that the salaries were materially less under this proposed charter, when as a matter of fact the salaries are so much increased. The salary argument has been the most forci- ble point in it's favor that they have advanced, aud ny neglecting to examine the different sections of ir, A person would naturally give the theory consideration. would advise the taxpayers to read over the proposed charter carefully before they take it for granted that the arguments pre- scented to them by those who are so much in love with it's provisions are consistent. imagine that they will ascertain that their ideas are fully as erroneous as their theory on salaries.
 The $450,1 received by the town for licenses during the past ten years has been quite A bone of contention. The city claims that it is entitled to it from the fact that the town does not pay an equitable share of the taxes. Don't take any stock in this theory until you have looked the matter up. say It would De great nnAn- cial scheme for the town to enter into an agreement to deliver to the city it's share of this large revenue. provided the city use it toward paying the expenses of running the almshouse. hospitals, outside poor, city bridges and roads. The almshouse. hos pitfalls, outside poor aud city bridges. the editor must admit, are almost exclusively city expense. He practically admits it in his article. Taking his figures as ba- sis will show that the $450.1l7 received from licenses was not entirely eaten up by the expenditures for the sole benefit of the city, but that in reality .he town was many thousand dollars behind. To make it intelligible to the taxpayers l will give the statistics for the past thirteen years. as followsI
