WANT TAX REBATE Anthony & Scoville Company Claim Assessments Were
 Excessive.
UP TO TAX COMMISSION
Bill Figured on 87,000, While Firm Suggests s1S,ooo as
 Fair.

One of the most interesting applica- tions for abatement of taxes which the special tax commission has had before 1t for some time came up last night when the Anthony & Scoville company asked that their taxes for 1906 and 1907 be greatly reduced. Attorneys David E. Fitzgerald and Robert Woodruff ap- peared for the firm On the tax list of 1908 the firm is set down as having here property valued at s6T,ooo subject to local taxation and on this sum the bill was made out. The next year 1t , seems the company failed to swear to Nany list at all and the same amount in figuring out the bill. Before that time the company had been taxed on about sS,00O
 The company claimed last night that the amount was entirely too large and had been arrived at by mistake. It seems that a manager of the local fac tory was asked for an inventory of all that the concern owned and hc incud- ed in 1t large amount of material tbat was on hand to be made up and which would take several months to use up. This 1t was represented should be taken not in the full amount on hand at such time but In the aver age and this mistake had never been rectif1ed. It was shown that the com cry on hand here which 1t owned and leased the rest. The firm has it's headquarters at Binghampton, New York and on account of being a foreign Arm had had no chance to correct the mistake.
 vice-President Topliff of the concern was present and stated that about slo, 300 would be a fair estimate In his opin- lon of the amount which could be call sd the average of material on hand. He explained the circumstances connected with the handing in of the larger fg- ure and declared that 1t was impossible that the concern could have any such amount on hand as an average in 1906.
 In summing up Attorney woodruff said that the firms sworn list for this year was sl5,0o0 and while that was fairly large there would be no obtec- tion to the adoption of that with ln- terest as the bases for the 1906 and 1901 taxes and If this was done the taxe, would gladly be paid at once by the concern. He declared this would he an cminently fair adjustment of thu mistake.
 No action was taken laet night bu was deferred until the next meeting ol he board.

Judge Taft makes two points against
Mr.. Bryan which will be available In
the campaign whether ~thcformcr leads
his party or not.
The first point relates to the Phil.
Ippinc islands. Mr.. Bryan cxcrtcd his
influence to have the archipelago
taken over by the United States, and
thus he IL associated with what no
now calls our colonial policy. He ok
plains that his object was Il assist In

out that policy without delay. In the
face Of the fact that our Investigation
and experience have convinced many
Of our wiscst men that years must

withdraw, with safety to the interests
for which II then becomes rrspon
sible.
The second point relates to the

Mr.. Hryan's great weakness Hes not
