 III ItltIcIlCt lO tiis- uSt 4hli. NioluhOuSC yesterday said:
 My purpose in proposing this act is to increase the value of the taxable i and to add to the prosperity | of the city of New Haven. We have been for several years without new business enterprises locating in our 1 midst, with constantly increasing ex- | penditures which have forced a higher | rate of taxation. This has resulted in | the reassessment of the property of | New Haven at such values that nine | put of every ten of it's citizens would be only too glad to sell at the assessors The consequence is that the future of New Haven, unless some such act as this is passed, is not pleasant to No new manufacturing will locate in the city of New Haven under existing conditions and it is to be a case of our city suffer- ing from dry rot unless some relief is given
