TWO NOTICES
Being Sent Out to MiddIetown Tax
 payers-Assessment Revised.

Taxpayers of Middletown have re- ceived the annual notices required by law to be sent out in cases where the assessment of their property is raised. There are two different notices pro- vided for this purpose. One form is to notify the taxpayer that the assess sors have increased the valuation of the property as named in the last grand list. The other form is to noti- fy persons to whose lists the assessors have added taxable property which they believe to have been omitted from the list.
 This year about 250 of these notices have been sent out by the assessors. Last year there were over 800. A large number of these notifications do not represent any increase in the assessors estimate of the value of the property in question, but mean that the asses sors stick to their last years estimate in spite of the action of the board of relief in lowering the assessment on any particular piece of property.-Nid- dletown Sun.

HARTFoRD's BUILDING
Records Show Gain of 127 Per Cent.
 Over November, 1908.

Hartford's building operations for November cost $490, ,395. In Novem- Der, 1908, building operations in that city cost $219,693, which makes last months gain over the same month a year ago 127 per cent. As compared with the only other two Connecticut cities that are included in the forty- five building centers of the country in the table compiled by the American Contractor, Hartford is in the lead. New Haven spent s409,S ,S51 last month, an increase of 72 per cent. over the same month last year, and Bridgeport spent $162,275, or 16 per cent. more than it did in November, 1908.
 Although the past eleven months scored a considerable gain as compared with last year, the increase occurred more especially in the spring months and tapered off with the season. Seven- teen cities present a loss of from l to S5 per cent, and twenty eight show a gain of from to 659 per cent.

 tined Homes Will Be Ended.

The alleged practice of employees of the board of health in posting signs regarding the presence of contagious diseases so that the placards should be as much out of sight as possible Is likely to be remedied if George T. Kelly, member of the board of health, can have his say. Complaint was made to him that the placards were not properly posted, and upon making a personal investigation he found this to be so. He is quoted as saying that there should be no dis tinction made and that the piacards will hereafter be posted so that people will have no difficulty in seeing them. Bridgeport Telegram.

TROLLEY INSPECTION IN AND ABOUT WESTERLY.
Capitalists Promise Better Equipment on Watch Hill Line and Pavilion at Pleasant View-Extension to Week. apaug ProbabIe-court News-Ath- letic and Social Interests.

The visitation of those interested in the ownership of the trio of trolley roads operated in the town of West erly gave them a better knowledge of physical condition and will undoubt- edly result in general improvements. It is said that the capitalists who in- spected the properties for the first time were surprised to find such lack of proper equipment on the Pawcatuck Valley road between Westerly and Watch Hill, and the absolute necessity for better rolling stock, which is so inadequate that the car known as the Yellow Perir' was taken from the Ashaway and Westerly road to trans port the party to Watch Hill and Pleasant View, a Norwich Westerly car being substituted on the Ashaway road. The lecd of improvement in long stretches of the roadbed on the Watch Hill route was also given con- sideration.
 The branch to Pleasant View in the matter of roadbed was declared satis- factory, the need of a terminal pavil- ion at that rapidly growing seaside re- sort was realized and the proposed extension from Pleasant View to Week. apaug is to receive prompt considera- tion.
 The members of the party were pleas ed with their tour of inspection. Upon the authority of one of the party, it can be said that there will be marked improvements on the Watch Hill route by next summer.

NATuRALIzATIo PAPERS.
Applications Must Be Made by Febru-

The difficulty of getting citizenship papers since the new laws went into effect is shown by the fact that in the past three years only 25 per cent. of the number of applicants have been granted second papers. Under the old law it was no uncommon thing to is sue HOO papers in two years and in presidential years the number was gen. erally over 500.
