 Several of the adjoining counties about Montgomery County are build- ing excellent systems of improved graveled roads that will luitimatsly connect with the roads of this county. Of these connties, Pike has. perhaps. accomplished the most up to date.
 Pike County has spent the proceeds of a S10O,OO0 bond issue for road Inns provements besides the regular ex- penditure of the proceeds of the road tax and other moneys available from dffferent sources. The magnincent speedway from Troy. in Pike County, to Montgomery, . distance of more than fifty miles. is the result of this inter-county spirit of co-operation in road building. IL Is common occur renee for people living in Troy to run up to Montgomery for the afternoon baseball games. They make the trip with ease and comfort. The business benefit to Montgomery and Montgom- cry County from this highway to Pike County is apparent
 Other counties planning or actually doing road work on large scale are as follows: Bullock County to the southeast of Montgomery. 100000, and Autauga County. bordering Mont- gomerys on the northeast. $i5o.ooo.

Wtu Dfscuss Plans for EmployinE County Convfcts In Making Im- provementn In the High-
 ways system.

The Montgomery County Board of Revenue plans to avail itself of the recently enacted legislation providing for working of convicts on county roads where the county officials so desire. A Arecent purchase by the county of cages and other road prison equipment costing si,2oo is the first step towards this project and it is in- tended to commence working the con- victs after January 1.
 The county now owns mules, wag- ons and road working machinery worth several thousand dollars which will be used by the convicts and if 1t is found necessary additional animals and machinery will be bought.
 Many recent bids for Montgomery county convict labor during the conn ing year were turned down by the Board of Revenue for the reason that the convicts will be needed on the roads. It is believed that the work ing of convict labor on the froads of the county will result in great saw ing to the county while the better ment of the roads is expected to be saving on. labor.

Special Town Meeting Appoints Three
Freeholders to Reassess and RevaIue
Property.
The special town meeting in Town
hall Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock
was largely attended and more than
the usual amount of interest was
shown in the various clauses of the
warning.
The meeting was called to order by
Town Clerk Frank p. FentOn, and
Mayor Dunn was elected moderator
The warning was read by the clerk.
Judge \. ]. Bowen moved an amend
ment transposing clauses 2 and 9 to
remedy an Inconsistency. 1t was Sec
onded. for the purpose of correcting
an error MAY or Dunn stated that in
the opinion of the chair the warning
could not be amended. Selectman
Peckham said that it was done to cor
rect a mistake of the printer. The
motion was not entertained.
Judge Brown did not agree with the
moderator, but expressed the opinion
that he was out Of order instead. Town
Clerk Fenton pointed out that there
was no provision in the warning for
an appropriation at this meeting for
the reassessment and revaluation of
the taxable property in the town, as
the warning read as clause called
for an appropriation LOT clause IN
stead of clause 3. Attorney Melony
held the same view of the matter as
Mayor Dunn. Judge Bowen moved the
substitution of three for two in clause
of the warning; the motion was sec
onded and adopted.
The clauses of the warning were then
taken up in order William Wander
man moved that no action be taken,
but the motion was voted down.
u. A. Lyman moved that the town
of Windham improve the public roads
and that the selectmen apply to the
state highway commissioner for it's
share of the appropriation. An appro-
prfat:on of $4,000 was embodied in Mr..
Lyman's motion. J. O'Sullivan thought
that it was up to the se1ectmen to
make a statement as to the condition
of the roads and the need for improve

CAMP GROUND COTTAGES
Subject to Regular Taxation, in opin.
ion of Town Counsel.

In connection with the new legisla-
ton relative to the taxation of prop
erty an interesting question has aris-
en- that is Of particular Importance
to the town of Windham, which is
whether the cottages located on the
Willimantic camp ground are liable to
assessment and taxation. 1t was a
question that the board of assessors
did not wish to pass upon themselves
and the matter was referred to the
town counsel, Mr.. Bowen, for a writ
ten opinion. He decides as follows:
Under the law my opinion is that it
is your duty to assess them for a tax.
While a wise discretion may prompt
you to omit some as being of little
value, the better portion of them be-
ing worth in some cases hundreds of
dollars and perhaps one thousand dol
lars or more they cannot in justice
to other taxpayers be omitted from
the tax list.
If these cottages are personal prop
erty, as is doubtless the case. they are
liable to taxation unless they come
within the class of exemptions and
they are not included in the class of
property exempt from taxation. Even
If the land on which the cottages stand
is exempt that of itself would not
make the buildings themselves exempt.
This is decided in the case of Parker
VS.. Redfield. found in 10 Conn, p. 490.
and in other cases. Furthermore, II
these cottages are property of nom
residents, under the new law passed
at the last session of the legislature
(see chapter 1850, the owners are la
able to pay a tax in this town and
a payment in another town would be
no excuse for not paying in the town
of Windham.
