WOODEN sARoT.
One Hundred Year Old Curio Owned
 by Noank Man.

Charles C. Dewey of Noank has in his possession a unique curio in the form of an old wooden slipper that was brought from France by his grand father. the late Captain John F.. Lew ey, when the latter was in the foreign freight trade years ago and corn- msnding the brig Frances. The slip per is fashioned from a single piece of light wood and is of a style. simi- lar to the pointed shoes Of a short time ago. II has single ankle. strap of eather. which is the only aRticie aside from the wood used in the construction of this peculiar ffeot- gear. there being no pegs nor nails. As near as can be ascertained the slipper is about 100 years old and was probably worn by some one .<of the French peasant class as might bs judged from the manufacture.

WOULD INCREASE
INSURANCE TAX
City Attorneys Decision Affects
$4,000 of Pruden-
tial's Returns.

City Attorney Herbert Boggs has
ment and Revision of Taxes an opinion
In the case of the Firemen's Insurance
Company, of this city, stating that in
his estimation the item of accrued
taxes, $13,071.46," should not be con-
sidered as one Of the debts or liabili-
ties of the company. The opinion will
affect the returns of the Prudential In
surance Company also, as there is a
similar item in the returns of that cor
poration to the Tax Board amounting
to more than 1852, 900.
The opinion states that in the ease of
Trenton VS.. the Standard Fire Insur-
ance Company it was held that to as
certain the capital and accumulated
surplus it is necessary to find the true
value of the gross assets and from
such value deduct the debts and liabili-
ties. The remainder will be the value
of the capital and of the surplus, If
any" The city attorney cites several
cases defining Accumulated SURPLUS"
and says that a fire insurance
Is only allowed to deduct its actual
debts.
1T Is well settled by a long line OF
decisions that a tax. is not a debt" he
continues. Casesehe sites to prove his
contention show that taxes are, in
legal contemplation, neither debts nor
contractual obligations, but are, in the
strictest sense of the word, exactions."
His conclusion is that these "ac-
crued taxes are not debts and should
not be offset against the total assets
of the company, to ascertain the cap
ital and accumulated surplus subject
to taxation. AS the taxes are not vet
due, he says, they are not yet a lien
on the company.
He also advises that the item of 81
1856, reserve for contingent commits
sions," should not be allowed, because
1t is a reserve to meet commissions
that may or nay not be payable by the
company.
Another item to which he objects is
that of accrued salaries, 1923, 1872 3."
He takes the stand that there is no
liability until the salaries have been
earned. which is not until the end of
the month, when they are payable.

MAID VICTIM Of
CLEVER SW|NOLE
Turns Over SAB to Man She
Met in Park-He Dis
appears.

HH 4LH
Jane Bryant, a maid employed at Al
Waverly avenue, had an experience
with sharpers last night that cost her
s43. While walking through Lincoln
Park she was accosted by a man who
asked her if she knew a man named
Robinson. The conversation started III
this and was continued as far as
Oliver street and Railroad venue. At
this point the woman's new-found ac-
quaintance stopped with an exclama-
ton of surprise and picked up what
appeared to be a well-flled pocket
book. He opened it, displaying what
appeared to be a 800 bill.
At this juncture a stranger APP
preached from the opposite direction,
and claimed part of the contents,
threatening to notify the police unless
he was given a share. Turning to the
woman, the man who had first met her
In the park asked If she had any
money, and the maid 3 produced $43,
upon the assurance that she would be
well repaid after he procured change
for the 800 bill, The $43 was handed
to the stranger and he disappeared. A
few moments later the other stranger
excused himself for a m and has
not been seen since.
