THE oUADRENNlAL APPRAISAL.
Assessors Havo Finished Their Work
Which is Now Ready For Inspection.

After weeks of hard work the assessors
finished the quadrennial appraisal Of real
estate and filed their records in the city
clerks office Tuesday. For the past
week the assessors have listened to clti-
zens who were dissatisfied with the APP
praisal of their property. Appeals will be
decided by the board Of civil authority.
There is quite a change in the appraisal
this wear and in most changes the valua-
ton of properties has been raised. In
several cases the valuation has hccn low
cred, especially on Battery street and on
some manufacturing property. The val
uation on hill residences and business
blocks are among those which were raised
most. AS instances the Van Ness House
property was raised $4,000 and the Wood
bury & Walker block on st. Paul and
Main streets $1,000 and the Warner prop
erty en- Church stree. $500. The following
law relating to the subject is found i'll
section 392 OF the Revised Statutes: "a
person aggrieved by the appraisal OF tho
listers may within, three days after the list
is required by law to be returned TO the
town clerks office. appeal to the board OF
civil authority in the town where the real
estate is situated, and shall give imme-
date notice to the town clerk and to one
of the listers" The total footing of the
appraisal has not yet been made. It Is
thought to be higher than the previous

BAND CONCERTS BY TELEPHoN E.
People in Massachusetts, Ent ertained by
the Shermnns Tuesday Evening.

The concert by Sherman's Military band
in City Hall Park Tuesday night was en-
joyed not only by the usual large number
of people who gathered around the park
but by many in distant parts Of this State
and In Massachusetts.
The New England Telephone and Tele-
graph company. with characteristic en-
terprise. took advantage of one OF the pos
siblities of the invention and gave their
subscribers an opportunity to hear the
concert without leaving their homes or
places of business. An ordinary long dis
lance transmitter was placed in the band
stand and connections were made with
Shelburne. Charlotte. Vergennes. Rut-
land, Montpelier and White River juno
ton in this State and with Greenfield
and North Adams In Massachusetts. Peo-
pie in the latter place. which was the
most distant point reached last night,
heard the music very distinctly and
agreed with Vermonters that Burlington
has fine band. An effort was made to
put New York city on the list of favored
places but the lines were heavy last night
and the attempt was postponed until the
next concert. A number of residences in
this city were also connected with the
band stand. Such connection is possible
only with telephones on metallic circuit

issued In relation to the application to be
made this fall to the legislature for a
new charter for an electric railroad to run

River to Grafton, says the Brattleboro

b. Smith OF Saxtons River. who has been
an active mover In the negotiations of
the past six years for a road between here
and saxtons River. This is not In any way
competition with the charter already
existing, but II is to take its place with
longer line and broader powers. This
opens up the question OF electric roads in
this vicinity again. and calls attention to
the fact that the original corporators OF
the present organization have twice dis
posed of their rights to outside parties.
who have agreed to build. but in both
cases the principal man In the companies
to whom II was coded has died before the
work was begun, and hence the whole
thing has been shelved until the charter
Is soon to expire by limitation and no
blow has been struck upon 1t.
