ticut league the coming summer.
The members of the G. A. C. after
considering the matter. have expressed
a Willingness to run a team If outside

them bear at least a share of the ex-
pense involved. Giving the followers
of the game in Putnam good baseball

club several hundred dollars, and while
they do not feel that tthey want TO
assume all the responsibility for pay
ing the price that il will cost TO main
tain a team the coming summer. they
are willing to take the heavy end OF
the matter. II is believed that the sum
needed to insure the placing Of team

uous protest against being assessed
FOR SOL, 900, which is an increase of
S86 00o the officials of the company
only having put in their property at
$4,000 The conference between the
Norwich gentlemen and the members
of the board of relief was a spirited
one and the matter is still undecided
and will be referred to Town Couns Il
A, J. Bowen for his opinion.
Mr. Robbins stated under oath. at his
ogn suggestion, that the water wheels
of the company were an actual ex-
pense of $4,000 to the company, and
that all of the electrical appliances of
the plant cost the company but $4,000.
When queStfoed more closely regarding
same. Mr.. Robbins replied that he
ought to know, as he was the treasurer
of the company. and that he paid the
bills.
The representatives of the company
were of the opinion that all the prop
erty should not be assessed in tue
surd claim that the company furnish
ed power to the city of Norwich and
intimating that that city should come
in for a slice of the assessments, not
withstanding the fact that the entire
property is situated in the town of
Windham and that all the water dam
med up is in the town of Windhdm
and that the land overflowed is also IN
the same town of Windham.
The board of relief and presumably
the board of assessors based the as
sessment upon the fact that the COM
pany had improved the property and
that it should accordingly be assessed
for such additional improvement and
further that the company and its n a.
jor property rights are all situated in
the town of Windham and that it is
a company that generates and stores
I'D a commodity for sale-namely pow
er-all within the town of WindhaItt,
and that it has same for sale for any
public or private utility that may de-
sire TO purchase it.
Mr.. Comstock wanted to be taxed f.Ir
acreage only and not for any improve
ment and he claimed that the $5O,0D0
claimed to have been paid for flowage
rights should be eliminated from the
assessment entirely.
The board of relief will hold another
meeting next Monday In the forenoon.
Jointly with the board of assessors.
when the various protests will be care
fully considered in their several phases.
