Superiority of Our Gunners.

The completeness of our naval victories
during the war and the almost absolute
immunity from injury which our ships
and crews enjoyed naturally led to a gen.
eral conclusion that our gunnery had
much to do with the matter AS a matter
Of fact, all reports bear out this conclu-
sion. The percentage of hits, smaller it
is true than that which has been obtained
at target practice, is modified by three
conditions: in the first place, the demoli-
tion of the enemy's ships has usually been
so complete that il is certain that the
marks of many hits were obiterated by
subsequent fires and explosions; in the
second place, the ranges at which the
combats have taken place have usually
been so much greater than those which
have been used at target practice, that
this difference would account for a re-
duction of from 80 to GO per cent in the
percentage of hits; and, finally, the rate
of fire was much higher in the battles
than at target practice.
I'm this connection 1t is proper TO note
that 1t had been the endeavor of the bu-
reau during the year preceding the war
to increase the rate of fire at target
practice. When-all is considered, II will
be found that the hits per gun per min
ute have been remarkably high In fact
it appears that the experience of each
combat was that our craftsmanship was
so far superior that, at a range at which

PEELED to pay as large tax as the man
on the opposite side of the street pays
on 100000. This was the answer of
his daily companion, because there is
Il political pull somewhere. "Well"
said third listener, 81 guess it is about
time to stop that pull" The Inspector
while agreeing that there is a large va
ration in the amount paid by real es
tate owners in the same section of the
city, does not for moment believe that
political pulls have anything to do with
the situation. 1t is simply \ failure to
assess our real estate at its proper value.
Our listsrs in the past and those now
called Assessors, are men of the high
est integrity and there is no foundation
for the charges made by these Corner
Loafers," But what the people of this
city should gladly welcome is the ten
dency toward an advancement of our
real estate at its proper value. Barre
has much smaller grand list than she
ought to show at the present time. Now
that this is the year for the valuation of
real estate, let this matter be rigidly in
vestgated by our efficient board of as
SCISSORS, and our revenues from taxes in
the future will be larger then if Barre
ever desires to erect a public building,
she will be able to do so without being
compelled to cut the cost much below |
