FEW CHANCES BY BOARD OF RELIEF
Grand List as Perfected VIII be Additions of
$2,825 and Attachments of $15ss0-List Increased
Over Last Year by $1O1,738.

After spending the month in per-
feeting the grand list of the town of
Norwich, the board of -elief, Edward
Kirby. Frank r. Mclaughlin and
James w. Blackburn. have taken but
little from the list as left by the
board OF assessors, the net change be-
ing but $13,155 decrease, which leaves
the net taxable list at $17,354,025, or
an increase over last year of s1O1, 1888.
Rather an easy year has been had
by the board. in view Of the fact that
the assessors in their work did not
add materially to the list, so that the
number of complaints was less than
in some of the recent years. There
were, however, about rs who appeared
before the board, asking for relief.
-Four of them made sworn statements.
These complaints were carefully in
vestigated and as the result there were
eight additions made and "a abate-
ments, or q total of AZ changes.
The increases ranged from $55 to
$500, while the decreases were from
500 to S5,575 in amount most of
them being for 800 The additions
amounted to $2,S25, while the abate-
ments totaed S15,980
In making their Investigations, the
board encountered several peculiar
situations. 1t was found that while
James Hogan was in the tax list for
S165 for several years, he has not
owned any property. Property which
was taxed against him belonged to
another, though liens have been placed
against his name for some time. His
name now goes off the list. The re-
duction in Charles l.. Hubbard's list
is for his autos and personal property
which for seven months of the year
are in the town of MontviIle, and tax
able there. where he has a summer
place.
The reductions for Elizabeth Osborn
and w. G. Zelz are because they are ex-
empt ON account of soldier exemption.
In the case of the estate of Joseph
Roy, against whom a small piece of
property in Prospect park has been
taxed for several years, it was found
that after his death at the State hos
pital when ali attorney attempted to
sell the property at auction that he
did not own it, the property being in
the name of Joseph King.
The attachments for the non-resi-
dents were on the amount of invest
ment in stock in trade. The spread
book has been written up for the
board this year by M. ]. Curran, who
has with his characteristic neatness
and accuracy looked after the trying
details Of the work.
The list of the additions and abate-
ments follows; also the amounts show
ing the net taxable list of the taxpay-
er after the change:

BILLY BARRY GIVES
BARREL BURNING EXPLANATION.
Playing in Alexandria, Va, With the
Clara Turner Players.

The Alexandria. Va, Gazette of re-
cent date said
Billy Barry, who is one of the favor
ties with the Clara Turner players
now performing at the opera house,
with Miss Turner and Mr.. Hammond,
took in the sights of Alexandria yester-
day which are historically associated
with General Washington and also Wis
tied Mount Vernon Naturally they
assumed this to be the most appropri-
ate day for visiting Christ church and
those other places which were 50 close
ly related to Washington's everyday
life. Mr. Barry is from Norwich, Conn,
and tells an interesting story Of an
incident in Washington's career which
happened at that place.
1t seems that General Washington
was passing through Norwich on a
Thanksgiving day when he, with d
large part of the continental army, was
searching for Benedict Arnold. Arnold
was supposed to be hiding in his home
in Norwich at the time, and Washing
ton during his search of his property
happened to throw a barrel on a fire
with the exclamation that he wished it
was Arnold instead. Ever since that
time the city of Norwich celebrates
Thanksgiving by the burning of bar
rels-most of which duty devolves
upon the small boys. Mr.. Barry states
that when a eat little kid he was
twice 'pinched' for stealing barrels,
but that there is no record on the po-
lice court books to prove the fact.

CONSIDER LOCATION FOR
THERMoS COMPANY SIDING.
Engineer Sterling Was Here from
Hartford With Engineer Palmer and
Others.

Arriving here at 925 o'clock Wed
nesday morning, Engineer Paul Sterl-
ing of the New Haven road, who came
from Hartford together with a traffic
man and w. H. Seeley of the New
England Industrial Lines bureau, an
inspection was made of the site for the
Thermos Bottle cOmpany's factory at
the Mason property, with view to To-
eating the siding which is to be built
for the factory.
Engineer S. 3. Palmer, E. c. Jewett
and w. r. Hill met the visitors and
showed them the property and it was
decided that the siding will enter the
Mason land from the north. running
off from a side track The siding will
probably be from 400 to 500 feet long,
running towards the south. There will
be some grade to get the height of the
facthOry. Engineer Palmer thought a
8 per cent. grade would be necessary,
while Engineer Sterling was anxious
that it should not be over per cent.
This, however, can be adjusted after
the factory is located TIL espur can
be put in for any distance, but the
New Haven road will not bear the ex-
pense, it being the policy of the COM
pany that the concern benefited by the
spur shall bear the cost Of building it.
The fact that it will run in from side
track rather than the main track will
make the cost of construction less, as
many devices needed for the main
track will not be required.
There was some talk about the loca-
ton Of the dock for tn factory but
nothing was decided about that, as
President Walker Of the company has
not decided where he would like to
have it located. 1t will be necessary
for the factory plans and location to
be advanced somewhat further before a
definite layout for the siding can be
made. The railroad men were here
about an hour concerning the matter.
