or having forgotten that the tax rate was raised from 1-2 to 10 mills on the dollar and that there was a pret- ty general increase in the assessrn ents made by the assessors. Many people allow the assessors to list the property and do not know what it is in the list for, and others put in lists at a much lower figure than the assessors deem ed fair. These people are now call ing upon the assessors and town clerk and using the telephone pretty freely to make complaints. They are too late, they should have known what their property was listed for, and if too high should have appealed to the board of relief.

 TO TRY TO COME BACK

 Burns plans to stage McCarty with Arthur Pelky on May 24, which Is the anniversary of the late Queen Vlcro- ria's birthday and big holiday in Canada Burns thinks that oelky might be made into a champion with proper coaching, evidently being in- fiuenced by the fact that Pelky was able to stand him off for six rounds.
 If McCarty accepts the offer to make the trip he should be in his ele- ment among the crew of misflts that Burns has gathered together. They are Carl Morris, Andy Morris, Jim Flynn and Pelky. After McCarty wades through this bunch Burns will follow Tom McCarey's example and crown him champion of the world.
