In the past week four postal cara
communications have been received
by the board in which dire things
are threatened by a writer who fails
to sign his name. He accuses the tax
board of doubling taxes in five years
of favoring the big corporations,
naming in particular the Prudential
Insurance Company. and has called
the members of the board everything
from "grafters" to ''murderers.'
President Jerome T. Congleton, OF
the board, dismisses the postal cards
with the remark, THE work of some
dissatisfied taxpayer" and SAYS he
does not intend to pay any attention
to the matter or bring it to the at
tention of the authorities
All of the postcards are mailed
from Orange, and on the first one.

Winter is here again. Anyone who
by choice or necessity was out last

years had been broken. during the

night. Overcoats which had been
discarded during the warm spell of
the past few days were hastily
pressed into service, and fur coats

vogue last night.
Professor Wiener of the local

last winter is now being experienced,

days on the Great Lakes, caus-
ing great hardship to vessels making
their last voyage of the season.
