AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Good Vaudeville and Motion Pictures

A programme of vaudeville and mo- tion pictures quite up to the standard is presented at the Auditorium for the last half of the week, receiving an en- thusiastic reception from the good sig ed audiences at the house on Thurs day. Austin and Garvin with their hard shoe solo and duo dancing have an act that is the finest of its kind both bringing out some original steps in their clever footwork. They were well applauded for their efforts.
 Bert Walters in his comedy mono logue furnishes the sparkling fun of the programme and keeps the house in an uproar with his jokes, presenting an act that is far above the ordinary. For variety turn, Hugel and Taylor have a clever act which includes sing ing, dancing and tu1nbling, the latter being especially worthy of mention. On Thursday the feature picture was the Animated Weekly, or the moving phc- ture newspaper, which includes four teen different subjects. Other motion pictures of real merit round out most pleasing bill

amount of obstetrical work in connec ton with 8 general practice had something to do with his early break down. We all miss him and we will miss him more and more as time goes by. No medical meeting was com plete without him, no annual banquet will be what it was with him. with his fine gift of speech and his brilliant wit. l could go on for an indefinite time relating things about our de- parted brother but I will close by re- beating few lines of verse that was read at the time of his death:
 Green be the turf a,oove thee,
 Friend of my better days,
 None knew thee but to love thee,
 Nor named thee but to praise. A Rarely Blended Nature.
 This was brought about by his un- failing courtesy and great natural af- liability, that nature had endowed him in a most unusual degree. This nature was a peculiar blend of humor, pathos and humanity. It was this wonderful makeup that enabled him to get such hold on the hearts of the people, and to sway them with his sincerity and frankness. Such an influence on the members of the medical profession of Norwich was naturally of great assist ance to the young man in building up practice. Dr. Hartman was much interested in all varieties of lodge work and belonged to a large numebr of societies. He was a charter mem Der and first physician of the Order of FOresters of America, which posi- tion he held to the time of his death. Politics claimed his attention early in his career in Norwich.
 Active in Public Life.
 He was a democrat once and always. He was a democrat at home and abroad, in national, state and city pol itics. He was at one time alderman, a member of the court of common cOun- cil and for many years a member of the water board of the city, and at one time it's president Also park commissioner. He went into all these {. things with his customary zeal and was always interested in everything that went on, never missing a meet ing if he could help it, and always ready to give his advice and counsel where it was needed. Dr. Hartman was twice married and is survived by his second wife and one child, a boy, of whom he was very proud and fond. His home life was very happy and he loved nothing more than to make his fireside attractive to his. own fam fly and his friends He was the soul of hospitality, delighting in doing what he could to make others happy in the enjoyment of what to him was a great pleasure. To entertain, to talk and enter into the liveiest repartee was the height of bliss to him.

The bill was instigated by the president of the State Medical association of New Hampshire recent ly, and the action of the New London County Medical society followed a dicussion precipitated by d circular letter written by him.
 Election of Officers.
 The meeting was called to order by President E, C. Chipman of New Lon don, about 11.30 o'clock, in the parlors of the hotel, with about 25 physicians present. After the reading of the min utes of the last meeting officers for the ensuing year were elected as fol- lows:

 Censor for three years-Charles E. Brayton. Stonington.

 This was followed by the reports of censors, county reporter, committee on public health and report of spe- cial committees.
 The discussion on the question whether the society would favor or oppose the reciprocity bill was brought up. This question had not been scheduled for the meeting, but was discussed after the reading of a letter issued by the president of the State Medical society of New Hamp- shire.
 Obituary and Papers.
 After dinner the meeting was re- smned. An obituary on Dr. P. H. Har- riman of Norwich, read by Dr. w. K. Tingley of the same city The meet ing was addressed by Dr. John G, Stanton of New London, president of the State Medical society, after which Dr. E. J. Brophy of this city read the annual dissertation, entitled Diet Dur ing Infancy and Early Childhood, the discussion of which was opened by Dr. c. F. Perrin of New London.

Divorcing Assessors From Excise.
The assessor and the assistant az.
SCISSORS constitute the excise board
How this ever came about is beyond
the understanding of your committee.
Nothing could be worse intrusion
upon and more foreign to the ALREADY
onerous duties of the board of asses
sors. 1t moreover exposes them TO
pressures of nature inimical to the
proper execution OF their duties as ab-
sessOrs Inc brewery and saloon IN
terests here, as elsewhere. are largely
identified with the ownership of saloon
real estate, and to permit the assessors
to act In the dual capacity of assess
ing and excise Is not good civic admin
istration. The Assessors office should
be divorced from any participation
whatever in excise matters.
Tax Bills and Tax Roll.
The tax bills are now made out ir
the Assessors office. This Is not good
business practice, and is made clear

errors which can be uncovered only
by sending the making OF the tax bills
and all hills to the collectors office
where they properly belong. This is
predicated on the making of an assess
ment roll, which n correct administr a
tion of the Assessors office requires.
The Five Areas.
BY dividing the District of Columbia
into homogeneous sections and then
bringing the sections having similar
ties together, a fairly accurate classifi-
cation Of realty assessments and true
values may be obtained. These 10
homogeneous sections fall into areas,

There are some 100000 separate lots and
parcels in the District of Columbia,

divisions are still held in single owner
