Where Are We At?

The state Board of Equalization has
added $3.50, 900 to the grand list of the
town of North Cansan for the year 1900,
for state and county taxation.
Now let Canaanites take retrospect.
also look at their present condition and
enquire where they are at, and then
wonder where they are going to land.
North Canaan tax payers dur
ing the sixties were good fnan.
ciers. They abhorred debt. They
were also remarkably patriotic. I'm
mediately after the civil war closed,
Canaanltes laid hesvy tax and wiped
out their war debt at one swoop. Said
tax was heavy burden but the fathers
we're too patriotic and too benevolent to
transfer that burden to the shoulders OF
their children. But what is the record
since then? About the year 1870 the
town of North Canaan burdened itself
with debt of about $50, 900 to help
build the Connecticut Western Rail-
road. That debt has never been paid,
and the present generation will net live
long enough to see it paid. Several
times within few years the assessors
or board of relief have been compelled
to raise the valuation of property in
this town to meet the increasing ex-
penses of the town. The tax rate has
also been raised, even upon the in
creased valuation or grand list. At the
annual town meeting in October 1899 q
two per cent. tax was levied Last
October fifteen mills tax was LEVIED
but in the following January the board
Of relief found it necessary to increase
the valuation of property in order to
raise money enough to meet current ex
penses. And now right on top of all
this burden the state Board of Equaliza
tion see fit to add 1858. 900 more to be
taxed for.
1t is high time for North Canaan te
ascertain how much money it Car
afford to squander on state roads and
various other enterprises. The towr
report for the year ending Sept 80
1900, showed liabilities of $44. $685.
and the total assets (good, bad and in
differently $l5,618.90, or an apparent in
debtedness OF $29, 100 70. providing
each and every asset proved TO be good
North Canaan tax payers of the six
ties had patriotism enough to pay thei
war debt; but North Canaan tax payer
of the present generation have no
patriotism enough to erect soldiers
monument, nevertheless they seem per
fectly willing to maintain or to roll up al
unnecessary debt for their children M
their cbildren's children to pay. "'Ti
true, It's pity, and pity it's, tbs true"

The reason is at last apparent. The
secret is known. Col Gard has furnish
ed the explanation. 1t has been a
wonder over here why the Millertons
have been such easy victims to the Ca
naan base ball club, but last Thursday's
Millerton Telegram says that village
ordinances prohibit base ball playing
and fire. crackers except on The Fourth.
A village that won't let it's team play
ball except on the Fourth can't expect
their ball team to win the one game
they play at home and the few they
play away from home. Canaan had an
easy time over in Coils town last year
and unless the Millertons have sneaked
in few hours practice away from the
vigilance of Officer Hoysradt the Ca
naan boys can look for pudding IL
