HINSDALE, N. H.
Prof. 8aumgardt's Lectures March q and

The news that Prof. Baumgardt Is on
the Atlantic coast and will again lecture
in Hinsdale has been enthusia stlcally re-
ceived by all Hinsdale people. Upon the
death last summer of John ID. Hooker.
through whose generosity Hinsdale has
enjoyed these lectures every fall until
last year for the past six years. 1t was
generally felt that we should not have
the privilege again of hearing Prof.
Baumgardt. When he came East in De-
cember, however, he wrote to Hinsdale
friends offering to come here as usual.
They proposed that admission be charged
which he, at first, was inclined to favor,
but later wrote, call 1t off please have
been thinking 1t over and have come to
the conclusion that it will spoil everything
to charge admission at Hinsdale, where
for the last half dozen years, the people
have been accustomed to enter without
charge. Therefore, l say, call 1t off; 1
mean of course the selling of tickets
wish to give the lectures annually
at Hinsdale, but l do not wish
that the lecture shall be a burden
to anyone. l do not think that
could lecture at Hinsdae realiz-
ing at the time that there were some
excluded because they found the admis-
am able to do so, | shall remember
Hinsdale annually" This unexpected
generosity and the magnanimity upon
the part of Prof Baumgardt should re-
ceive the gratitude and hearty apprecia-
ton of all our townspeople and we feel
sure that it will. His dates will be
March 4 and and his subjects "Napo-
leon" and Athens and the golden age of
Pericles."

Power Company Protested Tax Assess.
ment

hearing was held at the seectmen S
room Wednesday afternoon regarding
the taxes of the Connecticut River
Power company. The selectmen were
notified last week that this company had
petitioned the courts for an abatement
of taxes on 100000 valuation. The valu-
alton was placed by the assessors last
spring at $4,000. The company has paid
upon s65O0O0, but protested the balance
They claim that in comparison with
other valuations in town $4,000 is ex-
cessive. Judge Allen of Keene appeared
Wednesday in behalf of the power COM
pany.
Many of our citizens have felt that a
valuation of 100000 would not be ex.
cessive this year. Recent statements re-
garding the company's finances show 6
net profit for last year of s2O0,0OO. Oul
citizens feel that the town has beer
very lenient with the company and up
hold the selectmen in their assessment
The meeting adjourned without coming
to any decision, Judge Allen saying tina
he would confer with Mr.. Hartman OF
the subject.
