RESERVOIR STORAGE FOR
MISSISSIPPI WATER.

Chicago, Dec. S.-A reservoir stor-
age plan, by which floods in the lower
Mississippi valley could be checked
and water provided for the river when
it is at low stage, was projected at
the meeting of the National Irrigation
Congress today. The idea was sug-
gested by a member of the Pittsburg
Flood Commission, who asked that the
congress induce the government to
undertake a national policy on water
storage
1t was stated that the Pittsburg
commission is willing to build reser-
yoirs in the Allegheny and Mononga-
hela water sheds, at a cost of $20,00O,-
geo. The immediate effect would be
to eliminate flood danger about Pitts
burg, and at the same time be of big
benefit to the Mississippi Valley.
1t was declared Pittsburg is ready
to- build these reservoirs without ma
tional aid. The specific thing the
pittsburg commission wants. it wa+
explained. is national policy or
storage.

Tax Commissioners Task.

The object of the tax commissioner
is to bring about uniform valuations
for assessment in all of the towns,
and in effect to centralize in his office
the general direction of the whole mat
ter. That is the Massachusetts plan,
which he mas favored publicly. This
policy cannot be accomplished with
out local revaluations, and in most
towns it imports a change in the basis
of valuaton.-Hartford Courant
In some towns, too, it would necessi-
tate a change in the board of assessors
and also a stop to the practice of per-
hitting them, or any one of them. to
run the board of equalization. And
to permit the work of revaluation to
be done by anyone now serving, or who
has served in recent years on either of
these boards, would mean a retention
of present-day inequalities. Assess :
ment for the full market value, as re-
quired by law. is not what the fair
minded taxpayer objects to. it is in
equality, and the same law which die
tates taxation at the full market value
also commands that the tax shall be
levied upon a basis equal and fair to
all When the tax commissioner can
secure this for US. we would vote him
life tenure of office. 1t involves not
only the employment of fair methods
but fair men.-Ansonia Sentinel.
