BATTLING DRY BONES

Tax commissioner Corbin stirred up the dry bones somewhat when he remarked Friday evening at the meeting of the Litchfield University Club that Connecti- cut needs better men for assessors, and when he said that there is too much long-range assessing done, i. e., too little personal inspection of property by the assessors and too much copying of the grand list of the previous year or the year before that. or the year before that ad infin. Some assessors will not find this pleasant reading but this matters not to commissioner Corbin. His aim is to place assessments aud tax collection in this state on a business basis and to do this it will be necessary to do away with the lax methods which prevail, and have prevailed for years, in some of the towns. There is probably no assessor, however, who will take exception to Mr. Corbin's suggestion that assessors should be paid more for their work and should be elected for longer terms.

.APRoMorER oFFELLowsHIP

1t is to be hoped that the people of southwestern Litchfield county duly ap
 preciate Carl Stoeckel of Norfolk, he of ishe generous heart, and the kindly inn pulses. No other man in this section has done more, if as much, to bring the people together, particularly the resi- dents of Lakeville. Salisbury, Canaan, Norfolk, Winsted and Torrington. The Choral Union. of which he was the in- sseigator and is the ever-interested patron, has served to establish between these people a bond of fellowship such as never before existed His solicitous concern for the welfare of the Litchfeld County University Club has been the prime factor in making it the remarkable organization that it is and Ill inspiring 1the members thereof to the attainment of higher ideals. It is rarely that man of his wealth and social standing in z Eerests himself in such matters to the extent that does MT. Stoeckel. He has ineulcated in the Choral Union mem- $bers a greater desire for and a better ap- preclation ot high class music and the pronounced success of the concerts thus farTendered have been a source of much qualification to him. In this connection, however, the interest of Mrs. Stoeckel should not be overlooked. She is fully -@as deeply concerned as her husband ill tshe work of the organizations.
 The world would be vastly better did xnore people take MT. and Mrs. Stoeckels' view of life and use their money in Ike or similar manne-.

This train ran on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs day and Fridays. A passenger train left Great Burlington at 6:45 Q. m. and reached Pittsfield at 8:10 8. m. A train ran also from VanDeusenville to State Line. Southbound trains left Pittsfield at 9;25 8. m. reaching Bridgeport at 2:38, 500 p. m. for Great Harrington, arriv- ing there at 6:30 p. m.: 1915 Mondays.

THE LOSS BY FIRE.

During the year 1908 the estimated 2aoss by fire in the United States was =ssl90, ,0OO, ,OOO. In this connection "The Assurance Press says It is noteworthy fact that the greater portion of this i'm 1meHse floss was distributed through the csraall cities and in the villages. 'There .=ars" it says, ''in every city and town, fire dangers that may mean the whole ssale destruction of property any day .Bn1ldings are of c0mbustlble type. 'S'There is every opportunity for fires to ,espread from building to building, either xEhrough the medium of cornbustlble aroofs or unprotected window openings in outside walls or both. Common causes of fires, kept before the merchants and manufacturers of the larger places by municipal and insurance inspections, are overlooked in the smaller places, or not .apgreciated Private fire appliances zare confined to improved mills and factories. Mercantile buildings, halls, .-eee, are not so protected generally. There is no reliable means of giving alarms of fire. Public fire departments zare not properly equipped for growing
 needs, either in apparatus or men.
 1t would seem, that It is task for the fire insurance companies to see to it, ~Shrough their agents and inspectors, that pshe smaller communities are taught to aeake proper precautions against fire and to provide adequate means to fight it.
 Tn Canaan the insurance companies aaaye forcibly impressed on the minds of property owners the fact that the village .is woefully lacking in fire protection by xz2aking substantial increases in the cost aof insurance. One case i'll point is that sa0f a man who holds an $500 policy ill tGanaan on which he pays the same pre- imium that he pays on a policy for $l45O covering property in another village where there is fire protection.
 tCanaan will, some. day, realize the xneed of adequate protection against fire 'xSut;the constant fear of THE. NEWS is ashat this realization will not occur until valuable property has been sacrificed.

a RAN D WORK

The Red Cross Society is doing grand work in relieving suffering humanity, a work that is not as thoroughly appreci- ated as it should be but which will be more appreciated when better under stood. Although this society has done, and is doing, much and although its methods have been explained and re-ex- plGined in nearly every newspaper ill the land, it is fact that there are peo- pie, charitable and humanely inclined people, too. who are comparatively ig- norant as to the commendable work the Red Cross society is doing.
