TO DIVIDE STAMFORD. Mayor Cummings Suggests a Plan For


 Stamford Conn. Jan 15-Mayor Cummings last night read q message to the common council in which he reviewed the result of the recent vot- ing on the question of consolidation An analysis of the vote shows that the people of the city favor conSolida- tion of town and city governments by a large majority, while the people in the rural districts are opposed to the plan almost unanimously. Mayor Cummings declared that lne rural dis tricts are sapping the life of the city because the city pays by far the larg est share of the taxes. In view of the situation shown by the vote, the mayor stated that while he was not before prepared to recommend anything but consolidation, believing that relief from present emDarraSsments might be found in that plan, he would now recommend that the subject of separa- tion of the city and the rural districts be considered. He suggested the division of Stamford into two town ships the part of the town which is now the city being placed under one government. In conformity with the mayors suggestion. q committee of three members of the common council was appointed to confer regarding the E.atter.

MY opinion, therefore, is that the
title to property sold by the county
Treasurer without giving legal notice
OF the sale is nnllity.
AS to the second question, whether
the said property must be sold by
the county Treasurer as an entirety.
or can be segregated and sold, | find
a dearth Of authority upon the sub
lect, but | believe none is pecessary.
The following citation from the
authority hereafter cited may aid in
the solution of the question: "When
the State conveys to a private person
land which is acquired at tax sale,
he will take it in the same condition
in which the State held it, subject to
the same equities and defenses.
Such land is not bought for
speculative purposes or for corpor-
ate uses, but as means of enforcing
the collection of taxes. Black on

1t appears that the right-of-way
and improvements on the grade
mentioned were assessed as an en-
tirety and sold to the County Tre-
asurer as an entirety, The right-of
way is franchise subject to taxation
A franchise is particular privilege
conferred by! grant from a Govern
ment and vested in individuals.
Though taxable privilege, something
that the eye cannot see, can he
segregated, sold or assigned in frag-
ments. The power to sell mile of
a right-of-way sixty miles in length
would be more than dangerous. The
remainder might be rendered valu-
less; its exercise might prevent the
construction of a railroad, destroy
competition, hinder the development
of county and be productive of
gross fraud and injustice.
My opinion, therefore, is that the
said right-of-way and improvements
should be sold as an entirety by the
said Treasurer upon giving due
notice.
AS to the last question, / believe
it is well settled that a void sale does
not divest the lien for the tax.

The iri r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tifc causes upon which the Rev. Irl
Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
of storm and weather it is remark
able fact that specific warning of
every great storm, flood, cold wave
and drouth, have been plainly printed
in his now famous Almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day
named by Prof Hicks in his 1900
Almanac, as one of disaster by storm
along the gulf coasts. The 1901
Almanac, by far the finest, most
complete and beautiful yet published
is now ready. This remarkable
book of near two hundred pages,
splendidly illustrated with charts
and half-tone engravings, goes as a
premium to every subscriber who
pays one dollar year for Prof.
Hicks journal, Words and Works.
The Almanac alone is sent prepaid
for only 25c. Order from Word and
