Large Touring Car Turned Turtle When
1t Went Off Road.

Burlington, June "A Massachu.
setts automobile drew up at the Hotel
Vermont yesterday afternoon with -four
much bruised and cut.up passengers, the
result of an accident a short distance
north of Middlebury. The party would
not give their names and took every
precaution for secrecy, not even regis.
tering at the house 1t was learned
however, that the accident was another
case of ear turning turtle and the
remarkable feature was no one was seri-
ously hurt
The machine, large touring car, en-
countered a pair of horses in narrow
part Of the road. The driver had his
reins down on the dashboard and the
animals, becoming frightened, dashed
toward the machine The choice of two
evils was to turn to the side of the
road, as this was considered preferable
to being run into. The turn was made
too far cut, however, and the machine
turned turtle The Windshield and
mud guards were smashed The axles
were badly bent and the top was dam
aged to considerable extent The
crowd managed to get the machine in
running order and the remainder OF
the journey was. made to this city
aid When the party arrived
at the hotel, DR.. c. A. Pease was called
to attend the wounds Some very bad
bruises were found but no bones had
been broken.

DISMISSED
APPEAL ON
ASSESSM ENT
Rowland Bros. & Caves Grand List Was
Raised $4,000 When Their Official
Notice Gave Raise as 81 500.

A meeting of the board of civil author.
ity was held last evening to hear an ap-
peal made by Rowland Bros. Cave
against the raising of the grand list on
their block II is said that through an
error, made by the assessors when send
I ing out their notices of changes OF as
sessments on property, they sent How
I land Bros 4 Cave a notice that their
grand list had been raised 81 GOO when
the figures should have been $4,000.
When the owners of the block learned
| that the assessors had made out their
grand list with an increase of $4,000.
they made inquiries of the assessors and
found that a mistake had been made in
the notice sent to them.
Under the law which states that the
assessors shall make changes and amend
the quadrennial appraisal before April /,
Rowland Bros. & Cave claim that they
cannot he legally taxed for more than
the $1,000 raise.
A communication from the city attor-
nev was read to the board last evening.
in which the attorney stated that the
board could not take any action that
would change the quadrennial appraisal
but suggested that the best way for both
the city and the property owners was to
get together and settle the matter am
icably. The attorney also referred the
board to the case of the Blanchard Block
Co. vs.. the city Of Barre, in which the
city was given the authority to reas-
sess and hold hearings on the street paw
ing assessments.
On the recommends tion of the city at
torney in his communication, the board |
voted to dismiss the appeal as it had no
authority to act on it.
