Argument Advanced Against Prepos-
 ed increase of Capital Stock.

H. c. Smith president of the Rock vile Business Mems association and editor of a local paper of that city and H. L. Hayes of Rockville were in Will imantic Saturday. Their mission here was to enlist Willimantic citizens in dietary committee at Hartford next Thursday in opposition to a bill the Rockville Willimantic Gas and Elec- tric Light company to issue s300,000 additional stock and additional
 bonds not to exceed three quarters of the value of the con1pany's property to be estimated by the companys di- rectors. The leaders in the opposi- ton movement claim the only practi- cal result of such a bill would be that consumers would have to pay 8 larger price for gas and electricity. Local

PERSONAL TAXES.
Not Completely Collected on Lists ot
 1910 and 1911.

One of the matters to come up at the selectmens meeting this after noon is the condition of the personal tax lists for the past two years Se- !ectman Gelinas has been pressing the board to clean this business up so the town may know how it stands in this matter R. O. Snow was collector of personal taxes in 1910 and 1911 The ledger account at the town clerks of lice shows that the assessment of per sonal taxes on the 1910 list amounts to S4888 and that there are S9S2 of these taxes still uneollected. The 1911 personal tax list shows S5194 as the sum due the town for personal taxes and S1676 of this amount remains un- collected. Some exemptions would somewhat reduce these two amounts of uncollected personal taxes, but town official thinks that 25 to B 1-3 per cent. would be a fair allowance for exemptions
 Michael Sullivan was the enumerator who took the personal tax census for the 1912 list. A considerable number of names not enumerated by MT. Sul- livan have been added to the last list at the instance of the town officials and one citizen suggested to Select man Gelinas that it might be well to verify MT. Sullivan s list by making a test enumeration of say 100 families in district in the town where there are boarding and lodging houses as a criterion of the correctness of the emu merators work. for which he receives S20o As this is important matter citizens are taking interest in it and they think this suggestion is only a fair business proposition.

The High Cost.
(By Walt Mason.

1t costs so much for the things we
eat, for the rags for our backs and the
shoes for our feet, for tires and re-

be contented with flve-cent cigars |
With gowns for the women and things
for the kids, with stockings and doc
dads and ribbons and lids, man is
SO busted that when he would dine.
ne has TO drink water-he can't afford
wine. The bills from the butcher are
now coming in; the grocer is calling
for all kinds Of tin; my dreams OF an
outing see, were in vain; cannot
indulge in swift aeroplane. The cost
OF existence increases each day: the
man who sells diamonds insists on his
pay; the tailor, with duns in his pock :
ct, is here; | can't go to Europe. I'm
fearing, this year. There's something
awry in this country, know: the
more man squanders the poorer hen
grow; he can't buy thing-it's sin
and shame-but he is expected to pay
for the same. Alas, for that era TO

growing on gooseberry trees. Alas.
for that epoch, when greenbacks wera
