TAX QUESTION.
Warwick and Coventry Water
Co. Appeal From Assessment

The appeal Of the Warwick & Coventry
Water works from the assessment made
on its property by the assessors Of the
town OF West Greenwich. was heard by
Judge Douglas in the jury trial waived
division of the supreme court today. Jt
is claimed that the assessment is illegal.
The superintendent of the water works
testified that all the land the plaintiff
company owned in the town named was
two small lots and dam at the mouth
OF Carrs pond. The company sells no
water in West Greenwich and claims II
should pay no tax on anything out the
land, whereas IL has been requested TO
pay for it's right of way.
Counsel Tor the water company argued
that the rights of way were appurtenant
TO the land and not subject to separate
taxation.
In answer to questions by George r.
Brown, counsel Tor the town OF West
Greenwich, the superintendent of tho wa
ter works said his company owned about
Il. 900 feet arid that his company only took
deeds OF rights 10 put in pipes. The
whole assessment was claimed TO be IL
legal because the separate parcels of the
property owned by the company were not
assessed in a manner that made it possi-
BILE TO identity the property taxed To the
company. Also because n proper notice
OF parties To bring In account was not
given.
that they having made an assessment by
which the property could be Identified
and having given proper notice they
had made valid assessment aud were
entitled TO Judgment Both sides cited
number OF cases that were deemed per-
tinent.
An interesting point in tho case is
whether water stored is a proper subject
for taxation. Judge Douglas held the case
counsel for the water company. The as
sessment is of 10000 worth OF property.

New York, March 1o.--rhe identinca-
ton of tho remains OF Gen. Nathaniel
Greene. and of his son, George Washing
ton Greene. which were supposed to have
been found in a vault in Savannah. has
not been satisfactory. according TO dis

plate, after being treated with chemicsis
by an expert. showed more or less dis
tinctly the name OF James or Thomas
Oliver and tho date OF death was much
later than Gen. Greene's.
As result OF the experts discovery,
the whereabouts OF Gen. Greene's re-
mains is now as much a mystery as ever.
