DUTIES OF RELIEF BOARDS.
A Few Suggestions From Tax commis- sioner Corbin-Meeting This Month.

In letter sent out to the chairmen of the boards of relief in the various towns about the state, in connection with the distribution of blanks calling for certain details in the work of the relief boards. Tax Commissioner Will liam H. Corbin cites various sections of the statutes defending the work of such boards, and then continues:
 You are not a board of assessor, ,s but an appellate body which is sup posed to act in a judicial manner as an actual board of relief from injus- tice, and if inequalities in valuations exist it is your bounden duty to over come such inequalities, as much as possible, either by increasing lists of persons which are too low, or by re- ducing lists which are too high, all of which it is in your power to accom- piish without definite appeal by any property owner.
 "Whatever changes are made, how ever, should not be made hastily, upon the request Of an individual, but only after a full understanding of the sit uation brought about by a conference, with the assessors, an actual view ing of the property, and a comparison with other similar contiguous pieces wherever possible"
 The letter further states that there will be a general meeting of the re- lief boards of the different towns on January 27 at Hartford for the puT- pose of discussing matters and dusies connected with the boards.

When he first became financial secretary the membership of the division was 40. and since then has grown to 155- The office has meant plenty of hard work, but it has all been discharged with great faithfulness and with consideration for careless or dc'.r quent members, which has been an important factor in maintaining the division and placing it in it's present prosperous standing. Financial Sec retary McVeigh has never been much of a 'jiner." as this is the only fra ternal organization which has his meal- bersftip.

Large Sum Raised to Secure
Proofs Of Doctor Cooks
Statements.
$4,000 is ALREADY IN SIGHT
Strange Reopening of Contro,
versy, With $4,000 Cash
Backing.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The Cook.
Peary controversy was revived by an
announcement made here tonight that
a fund of $4,000 has been raised to
pay the expenses of getting proofs OF
Doctor Cook discovery of the north
pole. The announcement of the raising
of this big sum, showing substantial
confidence in Cook, shows that his
hackers still have confidence in his
claim that he went to the pole.
Captain Osbon, one of Doctor Cook q
warmest supports, announced today that
the $175,000 already raised for the pur.
pose of proving Doctor Cook IS claims
is but a part of the fund ultimately
to be raised. The captain says that
it will be eventually shown that Cook
got to the pole.
Doctor Cook is almost broken in
health. His wife, who is with him in
South America, says that the work
of meeting charges of taking, together
with the strenuous work he has done
as an explorer, have almost FRUSTRATED
him.
In view of the big subscription al
ready in sight for the discovery to aid
Cook to prove that he reached the
pole, it is generally expected that al
expedition will be sent to get the proof
which Cook says he left behind in thu
far North.
