PATIENT IN NORWICH
 SANITARlUM GETS S38, 900
Harry McNei, 40 Years Old, Is Men
 tally Unbalanced.

The probate court Friday ordered a $45,000 bond for the conservator of the estate of Harry McNeil. The ward is at eanitarium in Norwich. Death of a relative gives him $38,000
 Frederick l.. Perry, as eonservator over Harry McNeil, filed his account ing Friday in the probate court
 The human interest feature of this case is of more than passing interest. good many years ago McNei be- came mentally unbalanced, and was taken care of by the department of charities and correction. MT Perry was named as his conservator.
 While in Springside, McNeil fell heir to an estate of considerable value. He was taken from Springside of the Grand View sanitarium near Nohrwieh, where he is now being cared for.
 McNeil is about 40 years old and appears to be bright chap with the exception that he believes his head is the sending and receiving station for wireless messages.
 The report of the consefvator shows that up to date it has cost $612 to care for the man. and. in addition, the con servator submits an item of $500 for services McNei's fortune now amounts to 3S,480.2S, the annual in come of which is $1,700 As only a few hundred dollars are being spent annually on him, the court is going to take a hand it is believed. and see to it that a large proportion of the inter- est will be used for the care of the patient.

FOUR COMPLIMENTS
 FROM 4,o0o TAXPAYERS Board of Assessors Have Not Been Rushed at Their Special Sessions.

The assessors of the town of Nor wich have now been sitting daily for half of August with the express pur- pose of hearing grievances from prop erty owners whose tax lists may be judged to be set too high. Up to the present time four citizens only have appeared before the assessors with complaints. There are about 4000 property owners. The board consid- CTS that the matter of taxes lies very close to every man and believes that it has the right to infer from the lack of complainants that the tax lists are quite generally satisfactory. In past years it has been the custom of men to conf1de their troubles to the ass sessors during the thick of business in October, this year they have the opportunity to do it more leisurely and more satisfactorily In the two months preceding. The response is as above stated.

A dozen motorboats took large number of the people down during the afternoon, and many more went down by the trolley cars, The usual programme Of the Chelsea outings at the lodge was va ried this time by events on the water which gave the members a chance to try out the capabilities of their boats and provided lot of amusement for onlookers.
 The three races that were scheduled were most successfully carried out The course for the handicap race was laid out from off the lodge down to the New London drawbridge and back, a distance of about five miles, Over this path the boats provided a fine race, which settled down to a fight between Frank D.

The race was won by the former, but the little Wasp slid through the water in fine shape and made creditable second place A Thermos bottle was the first prize and five gallons of gasoline the second.
