Exemption from Taxation Twenty
Eighth Article

Eighth Article
The state constitution provides that
property used for certain specified
purposes shall be exempt from taxa
ton. Exempt property may be divi-
ded into four general classes, (1) ed
vocational, (2) religious (3) chart
table, and (4) public.
In addition to the above, there may
be exempted from taxation personal
property not exceeding in value 5000
for each household, individual or
head of a family, as the legislature
may determine.
Property used for educational pur
poses includes public libraries, public
school houses, academies, colleges,
universities, and all seminaries of
learning. Property leased to an ed
vocational institution, however, or pro-
perty owned by such an institution
but not devoted to or necessary for
it's use is not exempt from taxation.
Church property includes all
churches and houses of worship and
the land necessary for the proper
use and enjoyment of the same
Mere ownership by a church, how
ever, does not necessarily exempt the
property from taxation. Under the
decisions Of the courts a parsonage
or a rectory belonging to a church
even though used in part for religious
services, is not exempt from taxation
nor is land or other property owned
by church but not used for church
purposes exempt property.
Property used for charitable pur
poses includes public hospitals, and
all institutions of purely public char
ity, such as almshouses, homes fol
orphans, the aged or dependents, and
all other property devoted exclusively
Ito public charity.
Public property includes all proper
ty of the federal and state govern
ments, and the property of each mu
nicipality of the state used for public
purposes. Property owned by a ,nu
nicipality but not used or necessary
for public purposes is not exempt
from taxation.
! In a general way it may be sait
that it is the use, not the ownership
that determines the question of ex
emption. Constitutional provision

WILL WAGE WAR
 ON CIGAR COUPONS. State Business Mems Association De- cides to Start the Crusade-Frank H. Smith Attended.

The board of directors and the legis- lative committee of the State Busi- ness Mems association met at the Ho- tel Garde, Hartford, Thursday after noon to discuss various matters of in tsrest to the association. The effect of the vacation season was felt, as barely a dozen were present.
 Little business was transacted. The most important matter discussed was the giving of coupons and premiums with cigars and tobacco. This subject has received consideration from tho association before and that body has gone on record as being opposed to the practice.
 The directors and committee went @ step further and took action which will probably mean a crusade against cigar coupons and similar stimulants to the tobacco trade. The matter was refer red to the legislative committee with instructions to support a bill for the elimination of such coupons. It was also voted to refer the matter to the associations counsel to investigate the constitutionality of such a bill.
 A resolution sent in from John c. Sherwood of Waterbury received con- sideration. It called for the closing of all places of business. especially in the larger towns and cities, on Satur day afternoons. He argued that in different places the closing time was on different afternoons and he be- lieved a general understanding as to a uniform closing time would be a good thing The business mems as | sociation ha sgiven much time to a | consideration of this question and 1t was debated at some length Thursday.
 No action was taken. however, and | the resolution will be referred to the association later. The greater part of the meeting was given to talking over | preliminary arrangements for the an- nual meeting which will be held in New Haven in October. It was decided to have the headquarters at the Hotel Taft, but that was about as far as the meeting could go toward definite l arrangements.
 The meeting was in executive ses- sion, but those present declare that nc reference was directly made to poll-
 tics. Preceding the meeting the mem
 bers had luncheon at the Hotel Garde

 for Quiet Life of the Farm.

TWO MISSING PEOPLE LOCATED
ueweyn Nicoai Disappeared From Home at Poquetanuck Friday Night and Not Found Until Sunday Afternoon Two and YearOld Kenneth Strickland Passed Night in Woods Safely.

After having threatened on several occasions to do away with himself, on account of family troubles, 1t is stated, Llewellyn Nicolai, 24 years old, dis appeared Friday night about 6.46 o'clock, and for AS hours relatives were anxiously seeking for him in that vii cinlty. The affair reached climax when the pond of B. Lucas & com pany at Poquetanuck was dynamited and the termination to the suspense came when Nicolai was discovered in a small room, with the door locked on the inside, it was said, at the open air theater at Lincoln park, Sisters of the young man located him, and rather unwillingly he went back home with them. He had had nothing to eat since Friday, it was said, and 1t Is believed that he was making an attempt to starve himself to death.
 Mir. Nlcolai Is the son of Theodore Nlcolai of Poquetanuck and 1t Is hint ed that there have been dissensions in the family, and a number of times the young man has seemed Respondent. When he left home Friday and did not return his people began te think that perhaps he had really made up his mind to carry out some of his preyi
 eusiy uttered threats. He did not re- turn on Saturday and there was no trace of him anywhere and the pend there at Pequetanuck was regarded as offering a convenient means for sui eide, To see if they could discover his body theEe his people decided to use dynamite, and they secured the ser vices of Contractor Torrance of this city, whe set eff three charges, i've of six pounds and enc of seven pounds, at different spots in the pond about o'clock Sunday afternoon. The ex- plesiens brought up about everything in the pond, but na body appeared,
 and the relatives of the missing man
 were assured that he had not drowned himself there. About o'clock Sunday l afternoon his two sisters, with a eom-
 panien, went up to Lincoln park look ing for him, and there in a small room | formerly used by the directors at the
 open afr theater they found him, ap- pareRtly trying to starVe himself to | death. He did not want to go back with them, but finally he submitted. Nieelai has a position as fireman at the B. Lucas & company plant and has

CHILD FOUND AT MoHEGAN. New London Younsster Strayed Away from Home and Then Fell Asleep.

Standing up out in the sunshine 10 warm himself, Kenneth Strickland, the two and a half year old New London boy who disappeared in Mohegan Fri day night at supper time and was searched for by frantic mother and relatives all Friday night, was found absolutely unharmed Saturday morn ing about o'clock The boy was in the woods belonging to Olin Browning of Mohegan and the find was made by MT. Browning, who was out early helping in the anxious search The place was about half mile away from the Fowler home from which the youngster had strayed.
 The boy evidently wandered off just before supper time, and his footprints We're followed for a considerable dis tance, showing where he had craw1ed through a pair of bars. Shortly after they disappeared, and all efforts to locate the missing child by securing the vicinity seemed to be in vain. Up to the early hours of Saturday morn ing a large party of friends were out looking everywhere and when they at last gave 1t up to wait for daylight the mother of the boy and other of the tefrer stricken relatives still pressed on, A fire was kept going as pessi- ble attraction for the boy to come to.
 When Mir. Browning came upon the scene the child appeared to be about as happy and unharmed as if he had spent the night in his crib instead of en the ground in the eeelness of Fri day night, But the bey said he was warm, and an examination showed that he was not even damp and that he had net been bitten by an ant or anything else as he lay en the ground. The se- lutisn of the matter is probably that he had net had his usual afternoon nap that he had wandered off, had become dreWsy and went to sleep in real Indian fashion, the way the for mer inhabitants of Mohegan did more | than enee. He slept nearly all night apparently and had not been up long when Mir. Browning found him. Soon after the Afehegan church bell began | ta ring meFrily and peace fell upon the Strickland family and there was rejoicing in the valley The yeungstei
 is the son of Afr and Mrs. James J 1 Strickland of 141 Park avenue. New 1 London, and Mrs. Strickland came tc Mohegan Friday to visit Mir. and Mrs
