NEW TAXATION PLAN
Leaders at Albany Confer
 With the Governor
SOTARIAL TAX BILL ABANDONED.
Real Estate Conveyances, Mortgages and Direct Inheritances of Real Estate to He Taxed-A Reve-
 nue of 86,7OO,OOO Expected.

ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 11.-Governor Odell and the Republican leaders and members of the committees on taxation of the senate and assembly have agreed upon the legislation, to be pressed at the current session to increase the rev enues of the state from indirect sources so that the governor may redeem his pledge to abolish direct taxation for ! state purposes. The measures agreed upon differ in some particulars from the legislation recommended by the governor in his messa ge to the legisla- h ture and are the result of a consensus of the best opinion of the Republican leaders as to how the increased reve- nues should be raised. They are as follows:
 First.--A tax on real estate convey ances, expected to bring revenue of 100000.
 Second.--A five mill tax on mort gages estimated to raise a revenue of $10,0O0,OOO, of which the state is to re ceive $5,Oo0,OOO and the localities where collected like sum.
 Third.-A tax of 1 per cent on the direct inheritance of real estate when it's value is $15,OOO or more. This is ex- pected to produce $500,0OO annually. Governor Odell and the leaders be- lieve that the $6,7OO,OO0 which it is es- timated the state will receive from these three sources will be sufficient to provide the extra moneys needed to avoid the necessity of imposing direct taxes for state purposes next year. I It was decided to abandon the pro- visions of the notarial tax bill, which imposes a tax of 10 cents on notarial certificates, because of the objections [ that have been made to the tax and the belief of the governor that suffi- cient funds can be raised without it. This change transforms that measure into conveyance tax bill, imposing a tax of 10 cents upon each $100 of valu- ation of all real estate conveyed in this state, thus securing an estimated reve- nue of $1,20o,OO0.
 In it's original form the mortgage tax bill imposed, in lieu of all other taxa ton, a tax of 4 mills on mortgages, thirds of the revenue to be payable to the locality and one-third to the state. These provisions were changed at the conference so as to provide a tax of an additional mill, the revenue to be divided equally between the state and the collecting locality.
 The third bill embodies a new propo- sition. It will amend the state trans- fer tax law, which now imposes tax of l per cent on all collateral inherit ances. The amendment extends the tax to direct inheritance of real estate the value of which is $15,O00 or more. It will not apply to the inheritance of personal property.

If the c. R. & l.. corporation is the greedy, money grasping concern that it is said to be, the members of it must have a pretty poor opinion of Manager Sewell and the men that managed or mismanaged the strike now on in this city. By a little di- p1omacy and tact it could have been settled long ago without eihher side losing very much money or any thing else. Manager 'Sewell had his own way for doing it, however, and the re- suit is empty cars on all the lines. Even should the company win, the patronage will hardly ever be what it was. It is going to take long time to educate the people to patronize the cars as they did before the strike. The policy of the company seemed to be of the rule or ruin kind, and such tactics do not always pay. in the end. The trolley company is finding it out.

The Waterbury Republican is grow ing hysterical as an outgrowth of the strike in the Brass City, judging by the following paragraph culled from an editorial: 1.-The law abiding New England city exists only on paper and Waterbury is no worse in this respect than others of it's size" The Repub- lican is several leagues from the truth. The law-albiding New England city is the rule, not the exception, and Water bury at present is in the position of a Horrible example. Moreover, Water bury citizens, despite their lapse into disorder, as a general thing are as law-abiding as the average. The strike has evidently got on the Repub- ican's neryes.-New Britain Herald.
