use? Public improvements cannot
come without inconvenience and eX-
pense, and the people must pay the
freight. Ex-Governor Waller is one of
the first to come to the fr2nt after the
announcement of the increase in tax
able property and makes threat that
unless proper redress is given by the
board of relief from his standpoint that
there will be something doing, and he
offers himself as leader for those who
are aggrieved because they are called
upon to pay the expenses of the city
that were legally authorized. He sug-
gests that a petition signed by 40 citi-
zens be presented to the mayor de-
manding that city met ting be called,
and then and there the former COVER
nor declares that the people will have
1t in their power to reduce the rate of
taxation so that the amodnt each indi-
vidual will pay in taxes will be but &
small increase. This sounds we'll. but
1t would be a serious setback for the
progfessiveness Of the city and at
time when the prospects for the pros
perity of the city were never brighter
When there is subsistence IN the
present unrest ever the increased
property valuation and the people real
lie that 1t is essential to have more
money than ever to get New London
out of the deep rut that has kept it
back almost since its foundation. it is
believed that these whe now feel ag-
grieved will fall tnto line with the
progressives and step up to the col
lecter's office and settle the tax bills
cheerfully and with a feeling that good
results will come from what they now
consider unjustihable taxation. Some
fellow once said that A1ls well that

There has been for years a hue and
cry about the inequality of taxation in
New London to the tune of the old
song that the rich were undertaXed
and that the possessor of the little
home heavily mortgaged, was over
taxed. So it was resolved that there
would not only be an equalization OF
taxation. but that there would also
be a general Increase in the list Of tax
able property: that is, that each piece
Of property in the city would be as
sessed up to nearly its actual valua-
zion. This was considered necessary
in order TO meet the expenses inciden-
tai to New London becoming pro-
gressive city The assessors were re-
ouested to do the increasing of the val
uation Of taxable property, and in or
der to assist them in this work, or,
rather. to serve as a sort of moral
persuasive power, clothed with only
tentative authority, a special commit
tee was appointed to aid the assessors
in their work. If their assistance was
necessary. But the board Of assessors
and their competent clerk were equal
TO the emergency. They increased the
valuation Of the property all right, and
the committee is not anxious to receive
credit for any part Of the work thus fer

The matter was referred to the proper

a small matter, but if the change is

There is no doubt but in the whole
sale increase of valuation the assessors
have unwttingly made errors, in few
individual cases. but the owner Of ev
cry little home is Of opinion that he is
the fellow that has been wronged. As
natural result, the board Of relief
will receive more petitions for relief
from alleged excessive taxation than
ever before Naturally the public
spirited citizen who can draw his check

For many years the city of New Lon
don was without a memorial in honor
of the soldiers and snilors of the Civil
war, and in that respect the city was
far behind the other cities of the state
and nation. There WAS no particular
movement towards che erection of q
suitable soldiers and sailors mOnu
ment. The late Sebastian D. Lawrence
realized the fact and generously pre-
scented to the city the magnificent
granite tribute located on the parade.
The presentation was made on the oc-
CASTOR of the 260th anniversary of the
founding of the town, in 1898. or about
80 years after the close of the Civil
war. Having done this in commemo-
ration of the men who risNed their
lives for country's sake, and realizing
that the gift was appreciated by his
fellow townsmen, Mr.. Lawrence decid-
ed to give the city q fine monument In
recognition of the volunteer fremen Of
New London. Like the monument on
the parade, the firemen's monument Is
Of granite, and bears a llfesize repre-
sentation Of a volunteer fl eman. Mr..
Lawrence elected as the subject the
late Frederick L. Allen, an eX-mayor,
ex-chief of the fire department and
foreman Of Nameaug EngiLe company.
the courthouse and was dedicated with
imposing ceremony, including parade
Of the fire department. Now the court
of common council has decided that
the monument is to be moved to an
other location, a site in Williams Ne
mortal park being favored. 1t was sup
posed that the matter was practically
settled until Alderman Thomas E.
Donohue, foreman of Namea1g Engine
company, sprung a surprise on the
council by suggesting that the monu-
ment given to the city by Mr.. Law
renee in honor of the volunteer fire
department be placed in the backyard
Of the city hall Alderman Donohue
declared that the fire company he rep
resented wanted the monument there.
He gave as a reason that it would
then be near the Nameaug Engine
company house, where it properly be-
longed, as the fireman depicted in
granite was representative of the first
foreman of the company, and therefore
was q tribute to the Nameaug COM
pany rather than to the whole depart
ment This may be so, but the wonder
is that it escaped the considerate mind
of the late Sebastian D. Lawrence.

the streets and is in favor of barring
boys under "A years of age from the

in behalf of the older newsboys of the
city, who want a monopoly of the
business, though he claims the action
is to prevent the younger boys from
falling into the path of vice, as some
of them enter saloons for the purpose
of selling the newspapers, and they
are liable to see and hear things in

in having the matter referred to the

tions of the little home and the owner
of properties for the profits there are
in them are unchanged. The little fell
low being increased in equal proper
ton and on the same old basis.
Mayor Mahan in city meeting, when
big appropriations were voted, assured
the citizens that there would be no in
crease in the tax rate of 16 mills, but
that the money needed for the proper
conduct Of city affairs would be real
lied by increased valuations and that
the rich tax dodgers would be required
to pay tax on a reasonable valuation
Of their property, and intimated that
the owner of his little home was al
ready bearing his share eff the tax
burden. So the appropriations went
through with a, hurrah and tiger, too,
and now comes the terrible awakening.
There is a small army of discontinued
taxpayers who would make a raid on
the assessors office at the drop of the
hat, for the most excited Of the citi-
zenry actually believe that the large
increase in valuation Of property. aside
from the continued alleged discrimina-
ton in favor Of the rich, is due entire
" to the assessors who conceived an
idea that it was necessary that the
extraordinary expenses incurred must
be paid by the taxes next to be col
lected and have raised the valuation
for that purpose. OF course, such be-
lief is wide Of the mark.
