ASSESSORS ADD $45O,OOO
 TO VALUE OF AUTOMOBILES

Automobile owners who are charged by the State highway commissioner and public works departments throughout the State with tearing up the roads, will have to pay more taxes during the next year. One of the big increases in the grand list this year is about $450,0 added by the assessors to the list under the caption of horse less vehicles. Last year the total value of the motor cars of the city as listed by the owners was only $374, ,32o. This year it is intimated that the auto list will go over $S00,0 ,000.
 Incidental to the increasing of the values of the horseless vehicles by the assessors Collector John M. Donnelly is preparing at this time a list of the large number of automobile owners who have not paid their taxes. The list will be placed in the hands of the city attorney with instructions to place writs of attachment against all of the machines in the hands of a sheriff. It Is said that if the sheriff succeeds in getting all of the automobiles that no tax has been paid on there will mot be room in the City Hall green to park them.
 Tn placing the automobiles on the grand list this year the assessors have considered the market value of each car.
 It was announced by competent au- thority today that in making up the total grand list increase of between s, 100000 and $6,000,0 900 the assessors have not neglected to increase a single corporation doing business in the city of Bridgeport. Tn many instances the assessors felt they could have added more if they had more time to work in, but fin each case they feel that in no instance have they made an in crease they will not be able to show good cause for, in case they are called upon to appear before the Board of Relief.
 The grand list of 1908 showed the listed value of mills and manufactures to be $7, ,468 34S and the amount invest ed in mechanical and manufacturing SIS, ,704,978

The assessors will start in to work on the list of 1910 at once under a diff ferent plant of operation, with the hope of covering more territory in one year. A certain section of the work will be taken up by a member of the board individually who will submit his findings to the board as whole.
 Last year the total value of the dwelling houses was $44,O4S,387. or about five-eighths of the total of the grand list
 The total value of lands not built on was $6,452, ,S17, while the total amount invested in the merchandise trade was $3,O17,775. The total value of al! the musical instruments and pi- amos in the city valued at over $25 as listed last year was only $24, 4S5.

 AT LARGE AND THERE'S NO CLUE
Especial from United Press, ,


 Chicago, Jan. 21.-That Chicago is harboring a second White Chapel fiend is the opinion expressed today by As sistant Police Chief Schutter following the report of the coroner's inquest af- ter a post-mortem examination of Miss Jennie Cleghorn, also kown as Annie Furlong, found deca apitated and mutil- ated yesterday in South Side flat. Schutter declares all the circumstances indicate that the murder was the work of a pervert, who revelled in the sight of blood and chopped, hacked and slashed the body of his victim to grat- fly his passion. He said he would not be surprised to hear soon of an- other murder of exactly the same character in Chicago
 The only chance the police now see of capturing the murderer is by trac- ing the bloody head which he carried off with him. Seven persons are held today in connection with the crime.
