The Fresh Air Kids
Out at Fairview Lake.
"Say, you can tell the folks that
those fresh aid kids just had the
time of their lives out at Big Pond, u
remarked DR.. Rodman. Then he
continued to tell how they swan
they yelled, they feasted, and quar-
relied, yes, and even did some scrap
ping stunts. The motor boat man
made four round trips on the lake
for their special benefit. The Doctor
found that. he was second Judge
Lindsay for a day, at least, as he had
to adjudicate their quarrels and
pour balm on hurt and lacerated
feelings. The party were all back in
Hawley by 1880 in the evening. The
Doctor said the funniest experience
was where a little girl, (sorry we
have to say "girl") stole lollypop.
and 10 sticks of gum, and ther
peached on another little girl who
only stole 2 lollypops and 3 sticks Of
gum, exclaiming, ooh, you little
pig!" The accused girl with the 2
lollypops, who understood the diff
ference in amount of their similar
sins, Indignantly retorted: "A little
pig, am I? Then you must be g
great big hog!"

The school board has $1345 in the
bank.
A question has recently arisen
regarding the collection of delin-
quent taxes. The collector claims
the added penalty, but the school
board claims that such retention of
moneys on the part of the collector
is illegal and against not only the
spirit but the letter of the law. 1t
is against the spirit of the law be-
cause it would be an incentive to
collectors to encourage delinquen-
cies.
Here is the law the school board
is resting on:

 List.
 Within a short time from now Xiii lingly citizens will be called upon to file with the assessors of the town a list of their taxable property. This year this duty involves ones becom- ing familiar with the form of tax list prescribed by the state board of equal ization, this form being very much different from the ones that have been in use. It Is more complicated and more complete and will require some study from taxpayers that they fill it out correctly, which they are fully competent to do if they will only give the matter little time and at tention
 Charles B. Hutchins, one of Killing ly's assessors, now has some samples of the form to be used this year. These he will be pleased to show to anyone interested. The new form re- quires taxpayer to certify more in detail as to his holdings than has pre- viously been necessary garages and silos being among other things emu merated in the form and required to be entered by those owning such prop critics. The reverse side of the new forms is subdivided into sections, with directions to the taxpayer as how to enumerate the lands, lots and choses in action, with 8 description thereof, that he owns. The reverse side is also given over in part to a section where is to be listed taxable bonds or notes, with date of issue, interest bearing rate, date of maturity par value, etc.
 1A1 of form at this time at the request of assessors, who are usually called upon to fill out nearly 75 per cent. of the tax lists of people in town. While the assessors will always be willing to as- sist anyone on any point pertaining to the making out of tax lists, there Is a feeling that the making out of three out of every four lists by the assessors by reason of the fact that taxpayers do not want to trouble themselves with the obligation is altogether too much to ask of the taxing officials, who are not fabulously compensated for the work they do for the town. The as- sessors should not be expected to do this list making. though they are will ing at any time to explain to a tax payer any point over which he may be in doubt The tip Is for the tax form and post themselves as to how to fill one out.

PUTNAM
Trial of Case of Uncas Power Go. vs, Fred E. Shaw ct al. Besun-Ten Wo- men Want Franchise-Howarth and Cain Now Have CounseE-Autumn Festival at Ponafret.

Tn the superior court here Thursday, JuE~e Marcus H. HOlcoinb presiding, the trial Of the case of the Uncas Power company of Norwich vs. Fred E. Shaw ct al, was commenced, but was uncempleted Thursday evening, when court adjourned until today.
 The case is a civil one to court in which the plaintiffs seek to recover damages of S2,500 in connection with the complaint which they enter, the complaint setting forth that on April 6, 1908, te which time the ease dates back, the plaintiff company owned tract of land situated in the town of Windham, near the New England rail- road and the Shetueket river.
 Before April s of that year plaintiff company had commenced to construct a dam and building for developing power on the property in question. On or before that date, the complaint specifies, the defendants or their agents had entered upon the land of the plain tiff company and commenced the con- structiOn of wooden structures on that part of the land covered by the She tucket river and to fill such structures with rock and stone from the plalnt1n 'company's land, the structures, it is set forth being the cause of pecuniary damage to the plaintiffs.
 At that time the power company sought and received from Judge M. A. SnuII1WaY or tile SupCIlOI COuIL etL injunction restraining the defendant from further action of the nature com- pIained of and the injunction has since been in force, period of more than five years.
 The case grows out of a dispute over property boundaries in the vicinity of the lower plant and much of the evil dence offered Thursday had to do with this.
 The Uncas Power company is rep resented in the case by Attorney John D. Hall, and former Congressman E. w. Higgins, both of Norwich, and At torney Charles E. Searls of this city. Judge Henney of Hartford represents the defendants, who are, as named in the complaint Fred E. Shaw, Oscar H. Briggs and John T. Cuddy, all of Provi- dence.
