DECRY ATTEMPT TO. FORGE BALLOT UPON
 AMERICAN WOMEN
Anti Suffrage Speakers Busy Again Today Tn
 Bridgeport

Miss Lucy Price, of Cleveland, O., proved a forcefuI speaker, who com manded the attention of her audiences by her earnestness and charm, when she spoke yesterday afternoon in the interest of the Bridgeport Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, at the Empire and BiJou moving picture theatres and at Graves ice cream par 1ors.
 At all places she was heartily ap- pIauded and hundreds signed their names to the protest against the pro posal to impose further suffrage upon the women of this state
 A great deal of literature explaining how the vote would conflict with the duties Of women was passed out.
 Tn opening her short addresses. Miss Price explained that the antfs were not asking the people to come where they were but that they were going where the people were to talk to them.
 She secuted the idea that men and women should have identical treat ment.s claiming that woman's prtvi- Ieges and work were different but Just as important as those of man.
 The socialists she declared, were the only logical suffragists as they be- lieve in a. division ofsthe labors of man and woman
 She claimed that it is a. we'll known I9CE that SuCn WO11l0L SAS O S4AAc Aal@A<asAAAE have Iost their Influence for good since they have mixed up in politics
 tsIt is dangerous and unpatriotic, she declared. Ito force the vote upon the majority of the women of Con- necticut when they do not want 1t, and we ask the support of every wo- man of Connecticut and of every voter Of Connecticut to combat this nfove- ment.'
 This afternoon, a number of other theatres in the center and also in the East and West Ends of the city were covered. also Lanes ice cream parlor at 4 o'clock. A large meeting Is to be held at the home of Mrs. Rufus BunneIl, Main street. stratford, at o'clock this evening to which all l who are interested are cordially in- vited.
 While the Bridgeport Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage has been working very quietly. 1t is a large and o41risnffg organization with some five hundred members.

PARK CITY NEAREST TO TAX FIGURES
 OF STATES BOARD

Had not the board of relief reduced by $707, 01 3 the grand list Of taxable property in Bridgeport as computed by the tax assessors, the state board of equalization would not have had to add $1.500.oO0 to the grand list as they propose to do. It also develops that the local assessors were closer in their figures to what they considered a just estimate Of the grand list than the assessors of any other large city of the state.
 Proof Of this is to be had in the fact that the state equalization board de- sires to increase the grand list Of Hartford by $2os000.0O0: that of New Haven by s3,5 900 and that of Wa terbury by $2,000,00O Each city or town whose grand list has been in- creased by the board has been notified and officials Of the towns and cities that have made protests have been heard by the board. Final decisions on all increases will be announced by the hoard on June Q.
 The original grand list. as made by the assessors, was $112s196s zoo. With the exemptions and reductions made by the board of relief it is now $111,- 261 9S6 If the state board of tax equalization insists on making the $1.- 5o0s0O0 increase, the grand list will be raised to $112s751.936. It is said that the Bridgeport assessors estimate of what the grand list should be was closer than that offered by the assess ors of any city in New England
 At present the soldiers and sailors exemptions on taxable property amount to $239, 460 and these exemp- tions are increasing instead of de- creasing as veterans of the Spanish American war acquire property. All war veterans are exempt for the tax on S1,0O8. If they have lost an arm or a leg in the service they may hold property valued at $3.00O without pay Ing taxes.
 Mayor Cgifford B.. Wilson alone ap- peared before the tax equalization board to protest against the proposed increase to the grand list In ten years. the assessors have increased the grand list from $65.7o6s501 in 1904 to the present amount
