The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-06-14

Why the State Board of Equaliza- ton should have raised the grand list of Bridgeport s6,00o.000 is all a mystery in the office of the assessors. The nearest that any member of the board has come to a. solution of the problem is expressed in the idea of President Frank J. Hughes who thinks that the state officials want to raise so much, and increase the list of the cities according to what they think will be needed.
 MT. Hughes said that some years ago Bridgeport went upon a system of assessment of all property at full val- uation and he expressed himself as certain that all the property of the city is now assessed at it's fair mar ket value, dwelling houses, property used for manufacturing purposes and in fact all kinds of property.
 There may be some property, said MT. Hughes that has increased in value since last fall, but up to that time it was all in at full value. We

Is Certain There Are No Special Forms of Property in

Believes State Officials Must Want to Raise So Much and Increase List of Cities According to What Is Needed

cannot lead in assessing values. We must fix the values after the property has improved in value.
 'I don't know how the state tax commissioners do it. I suppose they must estimate that they have to raise so much tax and then they assess so much to the cities, according to what they need. No notice has been served upon the board that any par ucular property has been raised"
 IA gentleman who is somewhat fla miiiar with the atmosphere in the of flee of Tax Commissioner Corbin, who is a member of the Board of Equali- zastion, said this morning, the increase undoubtedly grows out of the belief of the Tax Commissioners that much property of corporations is underas- sessed. In his report to the 1egisla- ture he declared that in some cities property of corporations is assessed at scarcely more than 25 per cent of its value His corporate excess bill was intended to reach these underasses- Sed properties and tax the excess for the benefit of the state.

Crew of Eight Lost in Fog
(special from United Press.

Special from United Press.)
 Boston, June 14-Captain Antoine Silva of the fishing schooner Nettie Franklin on arrival here this morning reported that eight men of his crew had been lost in the fog off Highland light. It is feared they have per ished in their dories on the open sea. The missing men are all of Province town. They are: Tony Gaspe, Frank Silva, Antone Henry. John Malard, Joachim Regatta, John Fimentose, Diminico Guisenio. -Peternal Last Thursday Captain Silva said, in telling of the mems disappearance, they went out to haul their nets. A heavy fog shut down while they were out and they could not be located. All night he continued to sound calls for the men but day dawned without any sign of missing fishermen. It is hoped that they may have been pick ed up by some other vessel.
 SIX PICKED UP.
 Boston, June 14.-Six of the missing members of the crew of the schooner Nettie Franklin, Captain Silva, were picked up by the schooner Quonnapo- witt off Highland Light last night and were brought into port safely today. Two of the crew in one of the schoon- CTS dories are still missing. Captain Silva said the me mbers of the crew drifted away in the boats from the schooner when a heavy fog suddenly descended.

DEFAULTER SAID
 TO ADMIT GUILT
Chance that New Haven Bank Will Recover Much Cash Is Limited.

New Haven. June 14.-As a start1- ing development of the case against Frederick w. Brigham, the former head bookkeeper of the Merchants National Bank. accused of defalca- tion of about $100,0 came the rumor based upon the most excellent au- thority, that Brigham had submitted a confession to the bank officials in which he exposed his whole method of his alleged crime. In face of the fact that neither Howard c. Webb. the at torney of the accused nor the bank officials would specifically deny this rumor, there would seem to be some foundation for its circulation.
 In addition to this rumor, which, if true, would practically clear up the case, last night there became known certain facts in connection with the stocks and bonds found in the vault of the New Haven Trust company which will make them absolutely val ueless for the bank. It is now said that Brigham bought the larger part of the stocks on a margin which was never liquidate6, and which will make them almost completely the property of the brokers through whom the stocks were bought.
 And still another point came up to complicate the situation when the question of whether the bonding con- cern with whom Brigham was enroll ed would not have prior right to Brigham's property than the bank. If tn1S SnOuiu proVe to pe Cile case the bonding concern will pay over to the bank the $1OOOO bond and then bring suit for the same amount against Brigham'S estate. If such suit should prove successful and the state Inent to the effect that the bonds were bought on a margin prove true, the bank, if Brigham is found guilty could only recover $10,000 of all the money stolen.
 Although the bank officials maintain that the Brigham dedication will not amount to more than &5l- -l00 tha gen.
