The state board of equalization, COM
posed Of State Treasurer Grosyenor and
Comptroller Mead, have completed the
equaiz ltion of the grand lists OF the
towns for October, 1896. The new valua-
tions have no applications whatever to
local taxation, nor to the state tax, the
legislature having refused to lay state
The sole application OF the additions
made to the town lists, by the board, is
have been laid by county representa-
tives of the several counties within the
past two weeks, on the basis of the
county grand lists, as reported, and be-
fore the additions were fixed by the
board. The result will be that the tax
rates fixed, owing to the increased VAL
uations, will yield larger revenues than
had been estimated. In circular letter
sent to the towns signed on behalf of
the board by its clerk, B. Frank Marsh,
the board says: 1.-THE board has acted
from the best information it has been
able to obtain, and is aware that glazing
inequalities still exist, but believes that
proper beginning has now been made,
and that further action will tend to
remedy this state of unfairness. 1t is
not believed that too much has been add
ed to any town, or that any towns valua-
tions are too high to comply with the
law. Information yet to be received, and
future action will doubtless increase the
lists of many towns this fall, and the
board asks local assistance from those
authorized and sworn to assess property
at actual value in It's efforts to remedy
the abuse of undefvaluations SO long
prevalent" In the Fairfield and Itch

Now that the Greater New York bill
has passed the legislature and the great
of several millions of people
under one municipality has become q
certain fact, many questions of consider
able interest are coming up, some of them
questions that were not anticipated by
the projectors of the big city enterprise.
One of these questions is by what name
shall that large district OF the Greater
New York at the east end of the bridge
in future be known? Shall IL be Brook
lyn, or shall 1t be some other name
Many people think there is very little in
name anyway, but the sharp discussion
that Is being.carried on among our Brook
Ign friends seems to show that there Is
a good deal in the name that city
goes by. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle
asked it's readers their opinion on the
subject. The following written by
Charles p. Barker, a lawyer, brother Of
Rev Otis w. Barker, of Newtown, will
give fair view of the sentiment of those
who favor the retention of the old name

From the New Haven Palladium we
learn that the New Haven post of the

Temple street, Is an assured success. AL.
though an adjunct of the Episcopal
church, its patrons are by no means con-
fined to that denomination, but clergy
and laymen of other sects are cordial in
their support, both financial and moral,

its existence, is In fourishing condition
with every prospect of useful career as
