| TAKES APPEAL FROM BOARD OF RELIEF
New York Man Claims He Is Taxed
 Too Hign in Waterford.

Emile Utard of New York, owner of a house and land at Waterford, has taken an appeal from the Waterford board of relief's action in making the assessment on his property in the Wa terford grand list at s11,OOo, the suit being returnable before the superior court on the first Tuesday in May
 In 1913, the complaint states the Waterford board of assessors put the Utard property in the tax list at the sum of $12,000. Upon appeal to the Waterford board of relief to have the valuation reduced to fair market value, the board reduced the grand list figure by $1000. but the Plaintiff claims that the present sum at which the property is in the list, viz, ST. 900, is excessive and unfair and should be still further reduced

The game was the opening game of the season for both teams, who state that they are going to make few changes in their line ups. In the first inning both teams played rather loosely, but afterwards they buckled up. and from then on the game was fast. The teams were tied, 8 to 8. in the fourth inning, but the White Elephants broke the tie and gradually pulled ahead of their oppo- nentS.

THE TAVENNER SYSTEM.

Congressman Clyde l.. Tavenner is
no; making a campaign for renomina-
ton on the demerit system. He is
not attacking. belittIing or violently
misrepresenting anybody. He is at
tending faithfully to his duty as a con-
gresham OF the people and leaving
his case in the hands of the people
without undertaking to bias their judg-
ment toward him or prejudice them
toward his opponent.
Neither has Mr. Tavenner nor any
of his friends and supporters INDUCED
in the least disparasement of the 9th
CT candidate for the democratic nom
nation. Hon. Eli Dixson. The right
to be candidate and the right to use
all honorable means TO secure the nom
nation is conceded him.
As the campaign has progressed it
has been shown that Mr.. Tavenner
would have had no opposition what
ever had it not been for certain of his
postOflce appointments. This does not
apply to all of them by any means.
but 10 a very small percentage of
them, of which two conspicuous in
stances are shown, and had Mr.. Tav-
enner made other selections in these
cases the men who are leading the
fight against him would still be against
him. unless, perchance. they had been
the ones favored, when it would have
been altogether different This is
merely said in explanation OF a condi-
ton and without reflection upon those
who are hostile TO the present con
gresham.
II should be remembered that a
congressman is not elected for the
purpose OF naming postmasters. The
dealing out OF patronage is perhaps
the most unwelcome OF a congress-
mans prerogat!ves. for he is bound in
some cases to make enemies in his
own party, irrespective OF what he
does.
The congressman is elected fo- the
purpose OF doing his part in putting
his party platform into law and to dill
igently faithfully and fearlessly serve
the whole people.
u Congressman Tavenner mas done
all these things. he has done what he
was nominated and elected to do.
No one who has zealously and with
eye watched his course
VIII doubt that he has been true to
MS party and TO the people.

The only reason ships were not us
ing the PanE.a canal ten months ago
when the locks were first ready is that
nature was battling 10 the last ditch
in her efforts to thwart the purpo. of
man to put a shipway through the vi
tails of proud old Culebra mountain, q"
writes William Joseph Showalter,
magazine writer. who visited the ca

nication to the National Geographic
society at Washington, d. c.
Over $50 acres of ground lying
outside OF the intended banks of the
canal, and containing over 80 million
cubic yards of material, were swept
by nature. with silent but terrific force
down into the canal" he writes. Now
this onslaught demoralized an entire
railroad system: now il pat the COM

going out of the cut one day at the
south end, only to be stopped entirely
the next day by slide. Again. half
a dozen tracks would suddenly be put
out OF commit sion. II is the gre-test
engineering wonder of the age that in
spite of these difficulties LOG. 600 600

Last Work on the Panama Canal

I see that a cubic yard was removed for
an average of 6O-odd cents. when t
was estimated that, unhindered by
/ slides, the cost of removing cubic
yard would be 9S cents.
prior to 1910 the slides presented
no serious obstacles. Up to that year
the excavations on account of slides
were only 7.S7 per cent of the total OK
cavations. During 1910 seven weeks
were required to take care of the
1883 per cent OF all excavations which
represented the slide debris taken out.
In 1911 it required IS weeks to take
out the materia. the slides brought
into the cut, this material amounting
to $3.50 per cent of the total excava-
tions for the year. During the fiscal
year of 1912. 34.5 per cent of the exca-
vations were of slide material whose
removal required IS weeks. Forty
six per cent Il, the total excavations in
1913 were from slides, which accounts
for "a weeks work. Last year. begin
ming July l, 1913, saw only two months
required for the final bottom to be
reached in the cut, outside of the
material brought in by the slides, so
that at least Al weeks are chargeable
against the slides. The more than six
weeks remaining until tbs opening
of the canal on August 10 were taken
up with the removal of slide debris,
more than two years and three months
in all.
"One of the wonderful things ;bout
the building OF the canal was how
Colonel Goethals and Colonel Gaillard
were able to drive down the unit cost
as the mercury in the difficulty Their
mometer sped upward. In 1908 it was
estimated that the cost of removing a
yard of spoil would be around 9S cents !
for the whole cut. In 1909 this was
hammered down to as % cents. With |
the slides more troublesome than ever |
in 1912, they forced the uni. cost /
down to "a 3-S cents. Than this there |

NOT ECONOMY. BUT WASTE

Human life as well as property is in
volved in this bill. The work under
way to control floods in the Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys Is essentially
llfe-saving work which should not be
interrupted for any cause. II rises
above questions of economy. and as
sumes the proportions of solemn ma
tional duty. No one forgets the ma
tons demand for instant action fol
lowing the tremendous floods in the
Ohio river valley few months ago.
1t was n demand that congress should
go ahead, without regard to expense,
and do everything possible to safe
guard human life from the rage of the
floods.
The chief of engineers of the United
States army has very properly directed
attention to the urgent necessity of
continuing appropriations for carrying
forward the works now in hand. He
knows better than any other person
in the United States just how extrav-
agant and wasteful it would be to sus-
pend operations on the mighty works
under his charge.
Congress SHOULD economic where
it can do so with safety and good re-
suits: but the abrupt breaking off OF
great works for the conservation of
human life and property is not econ
omy. II is extravaganza and waste.

heard my story and instead of read

went on my way, vowing that I would
yet succeed, and l have done so. I
wish to offer the sincerest expression
OF my gratitude"
Il am mighty glad to see you again

In case you happen to be in need of
any more pie, I think we still have

was cut. My wife, who loves me dear

tackle it."
