 Few Last Year.

The board of assessors, John F. Murphy. Jeremiah J. Donovan and Michael J. Curran. who are to begin their sittings to receive tax lists on the first of October, have decided to have no evening hours this year, un- less they might possibly find 1t neces- sary at the end of the month.

M.. were made at meeting in Eagles hall Friday evening, the members endorsing the by a corporation formed by Moose members will purchase the residence of the late George w. Kies at No. 10 Laurel Hill avenue, subletting the property to the lodge as & clubhouse.
 Over 100 members with several vis- iting brothers from Willimantic lodge of Moose were present when Dictator Joseph A George called the meeting heartily favored the plan and seiec- tion of the committee and showed their enthusiasm by not only pledging but paying in cash the necessary amount for the first payment to bind the bargain. The property Is pur- chased through the agency of Thomas H. Beckley.
 Dictator George was very enthusi- astic over the project and vigorously upheld the project as did also Dr. W. K. Faatz of the Willimantic Moose who was present and who was heard.
 The house committee to further ad- ditional plans is as follows, c. R. Bar bour, G. A. Hartman. F. c. Sterry, F. B. Hazard and George H. Moles.
 The Kies property Is situated on a rise of ground just to the south of Laurel Hill bridge and on the left hand side of the road. It commands a fine view of the river and Is an ideal location for clubhouse or lodge home. The building is in excellent repair. is three stories in height and contains 13 rooms. Very little alter ing will have to be done before the building will be ready for occupancy by the Moose. It is planned to re- move the partitions on the top floor thus turning that floor into a large hall. It is also planned to remove the stairway leading from the second to the third floor and to build a new stairway, enclosed, at the rear ant outside of the building. The third floor is to have an entrance at ons corner of the hall. There are running water and sSt bowls in nearly every | room in the house.
 On the second floor will probably b. | located the secretary's office wtil | other lodge rooms and possibly poo | tables which, however. will not be pur | chased until after the lodge is all set 1 tied in the home. The parlors on thu l first floor are to be turned into recep
 ton rooms. The house is about 70xs
