These reports will show the work that has been accomplished in each town for the past year.

MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE TAXED
 AT FULL VALUE
Thus Says State Tax Com missioner Corbin to Con-
 vention of Assessors
TAXLAWS ARE EXPLAINED

State Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin addressed about 35 assessors from various towns in Fairfield county and the city of New Haven. The com missioner is called the first live tax answered questions from everyone and the assessors. especially those from the country. went away knowing a great deal more about assessing property than they ever knew before.
 Among the things the. commissioner said was Manufacturing Corporations can afford to pay on a full valuation. They are the backbone of the state and they are able to pay on a full valuation. They create a demand for good roads, schools and hospitols. I think the manufacturers will pay on a full valuation if they are shown that the manufacturers in all towns are paying on a full valuation.
 Connecticut has got to have some other method Of raising funds if it does not assess at a full valuation. Al state tax might be levied that is more or less undesirable, but we must have something for Connecticut is run ming behind every year by more than million dollars. We are spending more than we take in and it is up to you assessors to help the state right this condition.
 III some QlSCrlcC6 they are u1ylolHS up town in sections and one man is putting values upon property. That Hshould be stopped and in no instance should less than two men place value upon property.
 "There are many people who have large amounts of personal property in this state and who claim to be ex- empt because they pay taxes in New York state The New York law states that personal property outside of the state is not taxible in the state. If this property is in this state for 2 here.
 They used to allow 2 acres of farm land with every house no matter where it was located. A house lot should pc the property the owner devotes to that particular purpose and nothing else.
 You assessors of the cities as well of the towns want to stop the lump ing of lands in the assessing Of prop erty, for there are many kinds of land
 ant officials of any town. The trouble in many towns is that the assessors are not given time enough to work and then they are asked to hurry through. Farm property located along side of land that is being cut into the proximity of the other land and even though it is not arranged in lots it's value should compare favorably with the land that is cut up.
 "All the towns used to keep down their list to avoid paying the state tax and the result was a great in equality. We are keeping record of all towns I have in mind one town where the assessors stated that the property was valued at 100 per cent. The town clerk of that town sent me letter saying he was asham- ed of t1ao 1iut and that it was not over a two-thirds value. The state board raised the list and the next year the assessors added even more than the state board had done."

WOMAN DABBLED
 IN STOCK MARKET
Handsome Society Dame Connected With Framing
 ham Gang of Grafters
PREMIUMS ON TOWN NOTES
Especial from United Press.)


 Birmingham, Mass, Oct. A.-That a handsome society woman of this town with a penchant for dabbling in stocks was connected with a gang or grafters whose steady bleeding of this town for years has only been exposed in the $30O,O00 deal which has shown Town Treasurer John Lombard in the role of a forger, is the latest develop ment in the biggest municipal sensa- 'tton Massachusetts has seen in years.
 Besides the forged notes, for the ut terance of which c. S. Cummings and E. A. Mead of the American Banking Company of Boston are under heavy bail, it developed today that for more than 10 years all premiums on town notes have been appropriated by some body other than the town and that thousands of dollars have thus been lost to the municipality. Investiga- tion into Framing9nam's tangled web of finance is said to show that those on the inside knew positively at least as early as last January that Mead's s methods were open to criticism and the suspicion is growing that as the price of silence at least some of these shared in the plumber.
 Just what role the woman who IS being mentioned in the case played in the f1eecing of the town is not fully known. It is known, however, that she has dabbled in stocks for years and is well known among the brokers of State street, Boston. It is con- jectured that through her the gains from fraudulent notes issued against the town were used to play the market and that her efforts have probably netted the gang big money is suspected by her frequent boasts that when she was in the market 1t was always on the winning side Citizens of Tram ingham today ridfcule the plea made by the deposed town treasurer, Lorn- bard, that all his difficulties came from issuing a spurious note to aid a friend and declare his years of irregu- lar methods when fully probed will show him to have been but one of a gang which have made thousands on thousands by the use of the towns credit to get their capital. 1T

Judge Burpee Decides
 Against Commissioners

Judge Lucien F. Burpee in the Su- perior Court has rendered his decision in the case of the appeal taken from the County Commissioners decision in the transfer of the liquor license of Paul Lengyel from 21 to 19 Ely avenue in Norwa,lk. This application was fought by the Ministers Association of the two Norwalks. When Lengyel first applied for a license at 21 Ely street there was a small shed attach ed to the building where his saloon was located which was within 200 feet of the Hungarian church. This being inside the limit line there was nothing else for the Commissioners to do but deny the application. Lengyel had the shed removed. which placing him out side the limit.
 Judge Burpee, in his decision, states that as MT. Lengyel has conducted a saloon for a number of years and in view of the fact that he immediately took off the shed. the transfer of the license should be granted.
