Ass3ssors Finding Work 10 Do
Will Make More Complete List Than Ever of Land In The ChylIncreasng Acreage To Be Taxed Keeping An Eye On Construction Work.

When they next complete their lists of taxable property of the town the three assessors, John F. Murphy, Michael J. Curran and Jeremiah J. Donovan, expect that their report will be more nearly than ever accurate statement of what properay there is to be taxed and with that end in View they are doing a good deal of work although in quiet way. One of the points in which they expect to show a considerable difference in the lists from past years is in the matter of land in the town subject to tax. A year ago the total acreage was 12,26S at a valuation og $596.073. This year they raised it to 12,4 400 acres. at a valuation of $614.555 but they were not satisfied yet that this was a true showing of all the parcels that ought to go into the list under this item, al- though gain was in 132 in acres and 17,9O2 in dollars. By the plan which they have been following out they be- lieve that they will considerably in- crease the acreage when the next list goes in.
 At the present time also the as- sors are keeping an eye on build ing operations around the town find- ing it easier to locate the new resi- dences or other property as it is erect CT rather than to undertake to get them all in at once later on. This oversight of what is going on takes them to all parts of the town and

members of the board have recently looked at property on the West Side at Occum, in Potter Manor and other sections of the city.
 When looking up records they find that there is still a class of property owners who do not realize the necessi- ty of recording their deeds and occa- sionally their effort to locate the ex- act owner of piece of property re- suits in the unearthing of a deed from some bureau drawer or some other hiding place where it has been stored away possibly forgotten.
 One of the curious cases rising in this way which came to light in the course of one Investigation presents a problem for man who is really heir to a lot, but to which it looks as if he would have a hard time to es- tablish title. The lot in question was one that was bought by the deceased father of the man interested but the deeds was never placed on record. Within a short time after his fathers death, the mans mother died also and the deed was then located but it was found to have been made out in the mothers name, but it had never bees recorded.
 The original grantor of the deed has appealed to, it is understood to give another to the man who is the right ful heir of the lot. but whether this will be done or not is still a question, it is understood.

Three Ton Piece in Mason's Island
 Quarry Held Joseph Main Fast.

Joseph Main, who is employed at the quarry at Mason's Island was painfully though fortunately not fa- tally, injured Thursday afternoon when big rock jammed his head, cutting and bruising it severely. The wonder is that he is alive to tell the tale It was a jagged piece of rock. recently blasted out and weighing about three tons. which Main was trying to slip a rope under for hoisting out of the pit To do the work he was obliged to crawl under it a way and he had suc- ceeded in running the rope pretty well through when the big rock tilted over little further, squeezing Mains head and shoulders to the ledge beneath He yelled with what breath there was left in him to attract attention from some of the others at work nearby, but 1t was minute or two during which he was suffering terribly, before he could make himself heard. With the all, of course but altogether too much of it's weight for comfort, Main shout ed hoarsely for help, while the blood ran from cuts and bruises.
 Getting the rock off him was a ticklish business, for the men were afraid that a little hitch and it might settle down with all it's three tons squashing Mains head to a jelly But they finally succeeded in prying and lifting 1t away and Main, scarcely conscious and bruised, scraped and cut almost beyond recognition, was taken to Mystic as soon as possible and re- ceived medical attention.
