Important Tax Decision.

In deciding the motion to confirm the oommittee's report, in the case of Hun gerford vs. New Britain, making a large reduction in the assessment of plaintiff property, Judge Thayer of the Superior court sustained the remonstrance of the town against accepting the report and quotes the case of Ives vs. Gushen, 65 Conn 456. to the tff-ct that there are only two ways in which taxpayer may be aggrieved, viz:
 ''The first is a valuation of the prop. erty in exeess of it's fair market vslue The second is a valuation in excess of ! rule adopted by the town different from the rule prescribed by statute, by whici he is required to pay more than his fan proportion of tue taxes"

HENRY E. WETHERELL.

The last issue of the NEWS contained the brief announcement of the death of NIT H. B Wetherell, which occurred at his home in Bridgeport early on the morning of Jan. 6 Although for near. ly two years past his health had been gradually failing, for the past summer, and until a short time before his death, he had been comparatively well. The news of his dangerous illness. and few days later of his death, was a sudden shock to the whole town.
 Mir Wetherells parents, Horatio N. and Mary Deming Wetherell, resided in Norfolk, at which place he was born 68 years ago last October. He was the oldest of three children, one of whom Seymour B., resident of this town, died in Nov. 1889. and Mrs Mary Lep p-'ns. who resides in Hartford. During Mr Wetherell's boyhood hls parents re- moved to this place where the remain. der of their lives was spent.
 In lS4S. in company with many others. he went to California, remaining there, however, but short time. In early life he married Miss Lovina Cham berlain. daughter of Graut Cham b-rlain, of Falls Village, who survives him. Of their three children, Seth L.. | died at three years of age. One daugh. ter, Mary E wife of Geo. M Hanchett, resides in Bridgeport. and one son, aanry G also lives in Bridgeport. For over 40 years MT Wetherell was g merchant of this place, serving also as postmaster large portion of the time. He was also connected with the iron in dustries of the town during its most | fl 'urishing years Be was clos ieniifed with all that pertained to the good of the town. holding the most i'm portant offices and filling them most ac cep'ably; representing the town at the legislature when young man. Ir politics he was staunch democra ar q took the greatest interest in the ques tions Of the day.
 Iu October 1889 he gave up his busi ness here and removed 10 Bridgeport which place has since been his home although spending his summers mostly at his farm here. His long residence il the place made him known and respect ed by all. The family have the sympa thy of the entire community in their be reavement

FOR COUNTRY TOWNS.
Highway Commission Says That
 Gravel Roads May be Built.

Highway Commission Says That Gravel Roads May be Built.
 Last week the NEWS announced that the state highway com mmissioners intend beds, when circumstances demand 1t It Is now announced that the commis- sioners have relaxed their rule in rela- tion to the standard to be observed Tn road building, in favor of the country towns. Without dwelling on the merits or expense of Macadam or Telford roads we simply state that in many country towns there are gravel pits shat are available to make good roads, and we quote as follows the commissioners recent decision in regard to gravel roads where towns are unable to build Ma cadam or Telford roads:
 The com missioners have decided to allow the authorities to make gravel roads instead of Macadam or Telford. A standard for gravel roads is establish ed, and conformity to it will be enfor, ced The towns making gravel roads will be given the states appropriation of one- third the cost This, in addition to the one third share to be paid by the county, will help the poor towns to bnild good gravel roads without feeling the burden of the expense. The com missioners feel that this concession is tue the country towns. more especially as they pay their share of the county tax. and therefore contribute to the pay. ment of the money appropriated by the counties to the more fortunate and more wealthy towns which have been able to take advantage of the law.
 Another new feature of the policy to be pursued this year by the com mission relates 10 the cutting down of steep grades on roads. Last year the commis. sion did not decide positively that the cutting down of a grade was an i'm. provement of highway within the meaning of the statute. They have now decided to put liberal construction or | the statute and will in the future alloa | towns to cut down grades. paving them 1 the amount that wouli be paid them fol the expenditure of the same sum ir
 making Macaiam, Telford or grave
 roads. The commissioners appreciate the i'm portance to travel of cntting dowr
 grades that are 6 and per cent.

ssJingoism.''

We are asked to explain the word ''jingoism It comes from "iingo, ' which word originated from the Lon don concert halls, many years ago. when if seemed probable that there would be war between England and Russia. The song ran:
 We do not want to fight,
 But. by jingo, If We do,
 We've go; the ships, we've got the men,
 We've got the money too.
 The word stands for the clustering, aggressive patriotism of needless per. sons who talk of war on little or no pro- vocation, and endeavor to magnify their courage by noisy talk and foolish bosstipg Norwslk Hour.
