ASSESSOR TOOK HIN UP.
Wanted to Buy Roots Property at the
List Price.

Samuel Root had a brief but sharp
passage at arms with the assessors to-
day. Mr. Root claimed that. Ii taxes
kept going up he would have to dispose
OF his property and put his money into
something else. Assessor jerks want
ed to buy at the price 1t is down In the
grand list, but Mr. Root gave the propo-
s1t1on deaf ear and started in to de-
nounce the consolidation. II don't
know what this thing MEANS" he said.
When consolidation was talked of one
of the reasons advanced in favor of it
was that it would reduce the rate of
taxation. Now we have it and taxes
are third higher than before.
wonder what those who secured the
passage of that act have to say for
themselves when they see how it has
operated to the disadvantage of every
body"
Mr. jerks admitted the corn SO far as
the Increase in the size of the rate bills
go, but contended that this was noth-
But, after all" continued the as
SCISSOR, 1T does not seem that people
consider the taxes very high. Large
numbers of rate payers fail to come
and list their ratable property and by
so doing they show that they are will
ing to pay more. AT the present time
less than one-sixth of the property own
ers of the town have called upon us,
and from now on, unless by great
crowding, all cannot comply with the
law. When you see hundreds of work
Ing people and others as well remain
away from this office and let the per-
centages be added to their bills, it does
not look as IL they felt the burden too
heavily. A working man who has not
enough interest In his financial affairs
to drop in here some time during the
month Of June and tell US how huch
taxable property he owns, and in this
way save a weeks wages, has not
much ground to stand upon when he
talks about high rate of taxation"
Mr. Root didn't wait to hear the as
SCISSORS through, but hurried off at top
speed as If he were going to put every
thing he owns into the hands OF a real
estate man.
Assessor McEvoy took up the sub
ject where Mr. jerks left off and stated
that this was the only town he knew
Of where the assessors try to get peo-
pie to save the percentages. In Hart
ford and other cities the assessors pub
lish the notice required by law, and
that is the last rate payers hear about
it. He had given this matter a good
deal of consideration and was still IN
able to explain why so many are will
ing to pay more taxes than they ought
to. The board is not doing a big bust
ness and it is not likely there will be
a rush until the last few days of the
present month and the day after the
time for making out lists expires. In
the first week of July the janitor in
variably has to do a whole lot of ex.
planning to tardy callers that no proper
ty can be listed after the last day of

STUDENT DROWNED.
Leaves Vacancy Which Waterbury
Boy is Eligible For.

The death yesterday by drowning of
Samuel III Baldwin of New Haven
creates a vacancy in the naval acad-
envy which will have to be filed by the
selection of an alternate. Baldwin,
who was Is years of age, was to have
entered the academy to-day, but I'M
fortunately was drowned yesterday at
Rochester Beach within sight of
I number of companions. AccompanA~>.
by a fried he jumped from rownoat
to swim some distance and was taken
with cramps and sank. The body was
recovered about an hour after the acct
dent.
There appears to be some question
as to the name of his successor, the
place belonging, it would seem, to Pat
rick J. Healy, son of John Healy of
Silver street, this city, one of the
bright pupils at the High school, class
of '05. When the examinations were
held Samuel Baldwin won the cadet
ship with Edward Willis Punney of
Milford as first alternate and Patrick
j. Healy of Waterbury second alter
nate. Punney has since secured an
3 appointment at the United States mill
tary academy, so that the death Of
Baldwin leaves Healy first in line, al
to go to George w. Hewlett of New
Haven.
A Democrat reporter talked with Mr.
Healey at the High school this morn
Ing, but he did not care to say any
thing about the matter. From another
source it was learned that the Water
bury boy passed very creditable ex-
aminations at New Haven and Middle
town. but that his father is not anx-
ious to have him leave home and that
on this account it was a question
whether he would try to get the APP
pointment. There appears to be moth
ing standing in the way of Healy re-
ceiving the cadetship, except as the
New Haven papers state that mas
much as he failed to take the examina-
ton at Annapolis he is therefore dis
qualified, but those who know some
thing about such things claim that
this is not so and maintain that the
appointment rightfully belongs in Wa
terbury.

PROPERTY OWNERS KICK.
Big Poles Going Down ON Baldwin
Street the Cause.

Some Of the property owners along
the line of the Baldwin street trolley
feel aggrieyed at the way the side
walks have been battered up to make
room for the monster poles. There is
no help for this. The company got per-
mission to set up wooden poles and
everybody might just as well take
things as they find them. People
should bear in mind, too, that the side
walks belong to the city and not to
the property owners. 1t is hard to
make the public believe this, but there
is absolutely no doubt about it. The
city owns that portion of the streets
reserved for sidewalks in the same
sense that it owns the streets, and for
this reason many claim that the city
should not only keep them in repair,
but construct them. In some instances
one would say that the poles in ques-
ton should have been set closer to the
curbing, but perhaps rock or other
obstruction was responsible for this.
In any case 1t is something property
owners have nothing to do with. If q
man reads his deed he will see that if
it calls for a lot hundred feet deep
it is that depth without the sidewalk,
so that when one purchases property
abutting upon an accepted street he
does not buy the sidewalk The same
rule holds with reference to new
streets. If street is laid out forty
feet wide that includes the part in
n tended for walks and the city acquires
possession of the whole of it. 1t was
mistake not to have used athe iron
poles, but it is too late to talk about
that now. Very few people took any
stock in this matter when the public
4 hearing was called. They have gain
ed g. lot of valuable Information since,
but it is of no use to them and so
4 long as they cannot apply 1t to any
4 good account in this case, it would
4 be well to forget it. 1t is said that
1 the pavement does not extend two feet
4 outside the rails, either, as both the
4 statute and the conditions prove, but
X this is a small affair. In the near flu
f ture the street will be paved with
vitrided brick and then the company
will have to toe the mark The resi-
dents of that district have a worse
grievance than any of the ones men
toned, but nobody appears to notice
1T. Wonder somebody has not made a
protest against the hauling of the
macadam from Baldwin street onto
x the WATERFOWL road. Was 1t too good
for the streets leading onto Baldwin
street or are they all right without it2
