STATE TAX COMMISSION,
Auditor Dixon Thinks it Will Bring in Plenty
of Revenue.

The Corporation Commission has al
ready organized and commenced work as
a State Tax Commission, as provided by
the new Machinery Act.
very material increase in the State S
revenues is expected from the supervision
of the taxes by this commission.
State Auditor Dixon thinks the increase
will be from 100000 to $500, 900. Under
former Revenue Acts the States revenue
has amounted to some $1,000, 900; under
the present one he thinks it will be from
81. 700 900 to 81, 800 600.
THE increase he said, will come
principally from the changed manner OF
listing property Under the law the com
mission very properly has the power OF
putting en- the tax books any property
that may have escaped taxation, and in
determining it's value it may send for
persons and papers.
MY observation has been that taxes
are collected principally from property
that can be seen, and unseen property
assists very little in bearing the bur
dens of government"
In the prosecution of the work as
signed it in the matter of taxes the COM
mission is authorized to employ CLERK
at a salary of 81 500 a year. There is
already a large number of candidates foI
the place. The appointment will be made
next week

It Is the aim of the man agars to establish n permanent Sym phony Orchestra here In Waterbury just as exists Ill Hartford md New Haven, and if the results of tho ven- ture do not prove to the intelligent peo- pie of this prosperous city that such an orchestra ought not to be made q permanent thing then surely we de- serve to be called the city of boiler makers. Tn addition to the fifty-slx musicians who form the orchestra John l.. Bonn, our own talented plan ist, has been engaged to play. His selection for the occasion Is the Hem selt IN Minor Concerto for piano and orchestra. MT Bonn has long since held first place in the rank of Con- necticut concert pianists, and 1t Is in response to repeated calls to again ap- pear on the stage that he has consented to be heard. Surely those interested In artistic piano playing will not lose this opportunity to hear something benutiful NImc Isabelle Bouton. con- tralto, late of the Grau Opera company of New York, has also been engaged for Monday evening.
