CAUSES SURPRISE.
Connecticut Man Declares His Assess
vncrt Ia MucR. Ton T.ow

Connecticut Man Declares His Assess-
mont Is Much Too Low.
Robert NJ. Bruce, one of the mill
lionaires of CT eenwich, Conn, a former
cotton broker and a friend Of E. G.
Benedict, has caused surprise by ap-
pearing before the board of assessors
Of the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
the New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont of his list of taxable prop
erty, leaving it with the assessors. He
had looked The matter up recently and
had decided that he was not paying all
that he should into the town treasury
and he asked for the raise. The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and it is understood that they
will raise the taxes of all other mil
lionatres there to some extent. Mr..
Bruce's example is the subject Of much
comment. For many years past Green
wich has raised $4,000 by taxation,
and has spent 100000 more than 1t
raised. The debt has rolled up TO
nearly $40o,0 600. The town appointed
an investigating committee and the
members reported that more money
must be raised by taxation. Fixing up
the taxes Last fall was plt over until
next spring. The assessors figured up
:he amount ct taxable property and an
increase of the tax rate seemed prob
able Persons who have looked up tho
matter say that there appears to be
one law for the poor man and another
for the rich man. The law says that
each property owner must put In a
true list of the real value of all prop
erty. real and personal, but the general
rule among persons of moderate means
has been to pay on GO per cent of ahe
value. The millionaires in some in
stances have not paid on 10 per cent OF
be property.
