NEW TAX LAW
Explained to Assessors by Tax Com
 missioner Corbin.

About thirty assessors from neigh boring towns and Windham met in town hall Tuesday afternoon and were addressed by Tax Commissioner w. H. Corbin with reference to the law rela tive to the taxation of property as passed by the last general assembly. Copies of the new law were distribut- ed.
 Commissioner Corbin stated that the purpose of the meeting was to bring about a more general understanding of the laws relating to taxation and to get as far as possible a general uni form method of assessing property in the different towns throughout the state. He told of the many methods and plans adopted for the taxation of property in other states and compared them with Connecticut. He made plain what exemptions exist in our state and the rates of state taxes on certain properties. It is not so mucn the rates in the state that cause dis satisfaction, but the inequality. The assessors duty was to equaliZe the val uation. The revaluation of property should be done only after the people h1d full and clear conception of the entIre matter. A good many towns have made a revaluation, the valuation has gone up and the rate down. It is not so much the bases of the valuation but the equality-every man and every corporation on the same basis. The latter should not be permitted to pay less taxes than the others, all being placed on the same identical footing. Equality should be the main aim of all assessors.
 MT. Corbin said that he had no sym pathy with the economies of towns in the payment of assessors. Many towns pay a most ridiculous price for the service of their assessors, such as $106, $125, s1.5O per day. Windham county had towns that only paid SIPS a day and there was one town that only paid the mere pittance of SS cents per day. No town should pay less than $3 per day and then no as secsors would sponge on the town. The assessors are the most important off cers of a town.
 STeaking of the tax lists, he said that no owner could be forced to make any valuation on his property unless it is money. Filing of lists with town clerks should be discouraged, but they

m Case of Lawton vs. Herrick.
 Tuesdays session of the superior court was devoted to the continueh trial of the Lawton-H -Herrick case, suit Drought for permanent injuncA ton to prevent the dedfendant from ponuting the stream that flows fntS plaintiffs millpond with sawdust, apf pie pumice and other refuse, and to recover s200 damages.
 Attorney D. G. Perkins occupied the whole morning cross examining the plaintiff. Herbert Baker of Canter- bury was the second witness. He said that he knew the premises in question and had worked at the Herrick mill both before and after MT Herrick had bought it. He said that he remem- bered that MT. Lawton had called at the mill and complained to Mir, Her rick that shavings and other things being placed in the stream.
 Witness said that Mir. Herrfck had replied that Mr Lawton h1tf no busi- ness to have a mill below his. He told of MT. Lawton entering a complaint on another occasion. He also saw the refuse in the streara himself George Baker of Canterbury was called and practically corpoborated the testimony of the previods witness, especially with reference to the refuse, and said that he Had heard Herrick say that MT. LawtSn had complained
 Miller Testifies.
 James Coburn, a miller, was called and told of working at the Herrick mill for ten years TOT Henry Bassett and said that he never saw any refuse put into the stream except sawdust, and they did not put that in when ice was forming. George Parker, Brook lyn carpenter, who had worked several times for MT. I4awton last winter, said he saw apple pumice and sawdust on the ice after the rain had washed it on after the ice had formed. He had seen other things in the water also, as sc&ntlings.
 Fred Lawton, a son of the plaintiff, said that he worked for his father around the mill and his testimony sub stantiated that of previous witness
 Frank A. Herrick, the defendant, was the principal witness for the de- fense. He said that there was a saw mill two miles above his place and that the sawdust comes down the stream and that other refuse does also.
 In the afternoon the defendant was cross examined by Attorney Searls. After the cross examination was com pleted the judge adjourned court and will hear the arguments in the case this morning.
 There are four lawyers to argue and then the judges charge to the jury and in all probability todays entire session will be taken up with the case.

Deny Game warden's Accusation.

Many stories in connection with the Andover agitation over the escape of Paul Clement from Justice of the Peace Fred A. Sacketts home just before he was to be tried for illegally snaring birds and having more than the usual allotment in his possession at one time are afloat Attorneys Samuel B. liar vey and Thomas J. Kelley of this city have been accused of allowing the prisoner to escape, by W. H. Hall, game warden for Holland county.
 Both attorneys deny having request cd that the prisoner be placed in their custody. or that he was so placed, or that they accepted the responsibility placed by law upon the deputy game warden. They say that they played no trick upon the county game warden or his deputy and indignantly deny the inference to be drawn from the county game warden's published state ment in a Hartford paper that they aided or abetted the prisoner to es- cape.
