by the members of the board of relief
of the town of Killingly, In which II Is
by the town to inaugurate revalua-
ton of all manufacturing property
within the limits of Killingiy by COM
petent and impartial experts, has
aroused considerable interest. In some
quarters there is a strong sentiment in
favor of this. but the proposal to re-
value all the property in the town does
not seem to meet with unanimous ap-
probation.
That the assessments on manufac-
turing property may not be equitably
adjusted at present is question about
which there seems to be no tendency
to dispute, and a board of revaluation
appointed to investigate as 10 this
would probably not be opposed by a
majority of the citizens; but there does
appear to be a sentiment against the
town be revalued. The expense at
tached to this last mentioned proposal
is the principal argument yet ad-
vanced against it, although 1t Is point
ed out by many that a general reval-
uation is not necessary at present; that
1t would be better to make readjust-
ments as they are applied for to the
board of relief.
When asked Tuesday what action
the board of selectmen were to take
relative to the suggestion OF the board
of relief, one of the selectmen said that
they could do nothing without the au-
tnorlty OF tue town In the matter. Ine
estimated cost to the town of a gen.
eral revaluation of property within its
limits is $1,000. A reyaluation of the
manufacturers property would, of
course, cost much less.

No Practice on Tuesday.

Some of the candidates for the
Windham high school baseball nine
had their first practice of the season
l.. Leonard, Jr., has the names of some
score or more players who have signi-
fed their intention to come out and
try for positions on the nine. 1t is ex-
pected that within a few days there
will be plenty of men at work daily,
and Windham will exert herself to put
a winning nine on the diamond if pos
sible. She is still a member of the
Connecticut Interscholastic league. At
present the pitching department seems
to be a puzzle. 1t has been minated
that Captain Leonard will try to pitch
but he will be making a mistake in
the opinion of good baseball men, as
he is too good a backstop to shift at
pitching material in the school and all
that is necessary is to start right and
bring it out.

POLES AND WIRES
Must Not Interfere with Reports of
Property Owners, Declares Mayor.

Mayor D. P. Dunn was out looking
over few of the streets with Supt.
Edwin Q. Sumner Tuesday. In the
course of his inspection he CHANGED to
take a wllirl over the river and caught
the men at work setting poles and
trimming trees on Pleasant street so
or the Willimantic-Rockv lighting
company may be completed.
A number of circumstances have
to the methods used by the company
TO gain their ends The mayor knows
that the company has no rights in the
matter of setting and maintaining
poles along Pleasant street, but Is
making no com plant, as the company
IS getting around the stumbling block
oy stringing wires and setting poles
in that section of the town by using
the name of the Willimantic Gas &
Electric company. but the mayor does
insist that they set and maintain the
poles and wires in such a manner as
not to encroach upon the property
rights of any citizens and taxpayers
of the town.
The men were endeavorfng to nego-
tate with William B. Johnston when
the MAYOR arrived and they were given
20 understand that they would either
have 10 make a satisfactory arrange
ment with him or set So-foot poles or
ones sufficiently high so as not to in
terfere with the handsome shade trees
along the Johnston property. In a
of places over the river trees
have been ruthlessly hacked and trim
med to such an extent as to mar their

EARLY MORNING FIRE
Starts From Wcodbox in Store on
Ash Street.

A serious fire was probably averted
by the lIeenness of Mrs. Hodgkins
sense of smell early TUESDAY morn
ing. AT go o'clock she was awak-
ened by the smell of smoke in her
rooms over the store in the building,
1879 Ash street near Jackson This
is occupied by Henry 3. Martin. gro
Ger, and has two tenenents above.
Mrs Hodgkins notified Mr. Martin and
he found that the fire was in the store
beneath. An endeaVor was made to
enter the place from the storeroon1 at
the rear, but the smoke was so dense
that il could not he done. Frank Nc
Lean, one of the tenants, burst in the
front door at that moment and the
draught started the fire to blazing. Box
63 at the corner was pulled. but the
alarm failed to sound and Chief Wade
u Webster was called by telephone.
When he arrived with help the fire
had been extinguished by means of
several pals of water quickly handled
by Messrs. Mclean, Martin and a
couple of others. Mclean has been a
fireman for number of years.
No specific cause can be assigned for
the origin of the fire, but it is believed
that it may have started from a cigar
stub thrown in the woodbox as the
box was nearly consumed with its con-
tents and fairly good sized hole
burned in the floor The damage o
the goods in the store was considera-
bic because of the smoke and the store
was closed Tuesday. Chief Webster

Willimantic, Danielson and Putnam

gives his idea that the fire caught and
burned from the edge of the box
through the counter. where it was con-
fned and smouldered for some time,
because of no draught. He also says
that the alarm system was all right,
but that the person who broke the
glass and attempted to pull the alarm
was bit hasty and in pulling the Ie-
yer did not pull it far enough, as par
ticles of glass caught in the mechan-
ism of the box and prevented the lever
from coming all the way down. The
stock in the store is covered by $1,000
worth of insurance through a local
agency.
