Southington, Fco.i 10.-The selectmen have the power of abatement according to Secctman Nowclls statement this morning. The question in town has been raised on account of the decision of Attorney P, T. O'Brien of Merldcn, who gave out as his opinion that the power of abatement rests with the board of relief and assessors Howev- CT, MT Newell bases his belief that tho sclectmen have the power by q section in the general statutes which states that the selectmen shall have the power of abatement of all kinds of taxes. However, the boards of relief and assessors may abate poll taxes of poor and ndigent people. Such being the case, the committee appointed by Warden Doolittle to investigate taxes | may go ahead and feel that they are acting within legal bounds.

Yesterday morning at o'clock, one of the harbor tugs made a slow voy- age up through the solid ice in Mill river, coming up to take out an empty coal barge. Her progress was vory slow, although there was no boats in tow. The slow progress of the tug was watched with interest by many people. Very few coal barges are at the Fair Haven wharves. The New York barge, Kingston, is discharging a cargo of 500 tons of coal for the Gas company. This company has surplus of coal on hand and could stand quite an ice blockade, but some of the local manufacturers are not so well off.
