both foundered about in the water, calling for help,
and then it that ROrke ran along the logs or
the breakwater and tried TO reach them by lying
on his stomach. When they went down for the
second time Rorke dove off the logs and grabbed
them and thus prevented them from drowning
Young Titus who is strong swimmer, had by
this time reached the trio, and helped them out.
Mr. Mems said he would request that Rorkes

port to Governor Fletcher D. Proctor.

violations of the laws both by listers and tax
payers and too low appraisal of property through
out the state charged in a report submitted to
Governor Fletcher d. Proctor by the Vermont Com
mission on Taxation. which made public to-
iay The commission recommends the creation of
a state tax commission of three members in place
of the present single commissioner, the additional
taxation of intangible property. and many amend
ments to the present tax laws.
The report declares that less than per cent OF
all the inventories file filled out required
by law. and that many taxpayers file no inven-
tories Real estate. according the report is now
appraised on the average at not more than 20 per
cent of it's value, and in the appraisal of personal
property the conditions even worse
The report finds that the law regulating the ap
praisa of stock in domestic corporations is prac-
tcally imperative and that such stock largely
escapes taxation 1t is recommended that the
listers receive authority to subpoena witnesses on
the question of whether any taxpayer has made
complete inventory Of his taxable estate. 4 direct
