Sewers May Have Poisoned water.

That private sewers having an out
let in the millrace and river may have
poisoned the water and caused the
heavy mortality among fish yesterday
morning is the belief of some of the
members of the fish and game asso-
citation who have been investigating.
They declare they discovered a num-
ber of sewers entering the river and
race from private homes and they
think 1t probable that the residents in
one Of these homes might have used
some kind of poison in disinfecting
their toilets and thus have caused the
poison to find its way into the river.
They declare these private sewers
exist contrary to the city ordinances
and that they will request the city
officials to make an investigation.

The listers OF this town ON Tuesday
filed at the town clerk 5 office the final
footiug7 of the grand list. The total
valuation of real and personal property
this wear is $5,594,S75, as compared
$32l.979 for the year. The number of
poll tax payers found this year is only
l74I as compared with 205S last year,

including poll taxes. is this year So,
943,075, as compared with $j,6S4 1876
in 1912. an increase of S25S.579.
The reduced number of poll tax pay
ers this year does not mean an actual
decrease in population of that number,
if any decrease at all. In 1912 a
seeminlv large number of duplicates Of
poll tax payers appeared, and large
number of foreigners, principally Pc
lauders, were listed but could not be
found by the tax collector. and these
have been eliminated to large degree.
There were 564 unpaid taxes in the list
turned over by the treasurer to the
collector, the larger part of which the
collector has been unable to find. For
this reason greater care has been used
this year, resulting in a much reduced
number being placed on the list, al
though it is possible that many foreign
ers who should pay taxes have thus
! far been skipped.
The increase in the list this year is
| $50. $50 on real estate and 1901, $40 in
personal property. In the grand list
for 1912 the total amount Of offsets fol
debts owing for 1S6 persons which are
not allowed to be deducted this year
was $73s,9&0. Of these LIP deduction,
were made for amounts less than $500
aggregating $67.930, while - person.
