ASSESSORS NOW REVIEWING LISTS
Propose to Look Up New Buildings Sharply-Wl Keep Records of Reasons For Making Additions To- tai Lists Will Exceed the 371S of Last Year.

The assessors have now finished their sitting to receive the tax list and are now to proceed with a com- parison of the lists received this year with those received last year, with the intention of finding out what property has been transferred and whether all so changing owners has been put in by the new title holders. Last year there were 3,71S lists of property and the assessors expect that this number will be exceeded this year, but just how many had been received this time had not been ascertained up 10 the time the last lists were in. The warn ing to automobile owners that their machines were liable for taxation proved effective, and nearly all the 200-0dd owners here put their ma chimes in the list. What few did not, the assessors will make a list for. Motor boat owners also responded quite generally.
 In making up the figures for the tax list this year, one of the things the as- sesSorS are to pay particular attention to is additions or improvements to property, which can be taken as mak- ing fair addition to the value of the same. All through the year. members of the assessors have kept their eyes open for changes and improvements being made and these have been not ed in memorandum form, which has

Among other points noted were that 70 per cent. of the converts to this sect are women and that women are those upon whom the heaviest burden falls in Mormonism.
 The Ladies' Aid society of the church provided a bountful repast for the ministers and their wives at 12.30 o'clock.

INFANT CHRIsTENED.
Four Generations at Ceremony When
 Son of Mir. and Mrs. Frederick M. Holmes of New Britain Was Named.

A christening at which four genera ttons were represented took place on Sunday afternoon at St. Marks church, New Britain, says the Hartford Cour- ant, when Rector H. l. Bodley chris tened the infant son of MT. and Mrs. Frederick M. Holmes. as Morgan Noble Holmes. The childs first name Is after his grandmother on his fathers side of the house and the middle name is after his grandfather on the maternal side. The happy grandfather who is Vice President and Treasurer Howard c. Noble of the North & Judd Co., was in attendance at the christen- ing, as was also MT. Noble's mother, Mrs. Eliza c. Noble, the child's great grandmother. Mrs. Noble is ST years old and she drove to the christening in her sons limousine. She Is very keen of intellect, and on her way down to the christening remarked to her son, We are having a double christening- new car and a new baby" Mrs. Noble is enjoying excellent health for woman of her advanced age, and no one took more delight in the christen- ing than did the great-grandmother Frederick M. Holmes is a son of Mrs. Fannie M. Holmes of 23S Broa d street, Norwich.

kept them posted as far as possible on what property could rightly be increased in the next tax list.
 There are districts in the city, too, where there has been considerable building of late and the assessors propose to give these a thorough look ing over to see whether some new houses may not somehow have failed to get into the list.
 One change which the assessors pro- pose to put into effect this year, which they think will meet with the approval of the people is to keep records of the reasons why they advance the assess ment on any property beyond what it is put in by the owners. These rec ords are to be kept in permanent form so that future boards can have them to refer to. In former years, it has been impossible for one board sue ceeding another to know the reasons why the assessment on any particular piece of property was raised by the board, as no records were left behind of the reasons for making changes, and the consequence was that one board of assessors often had to go all over the ground that a previous board had covered without knowing how the matter had previously been looked up- on. The assessors expect to have plen- ty of business to occupy all their time from now until they get out the lists have been in Norwich since spring,
