 Congressman Kennedy referred to the giant work of Connolly in the historic struggle which brought the Boston team from the bottom of the heap to the top, and agreed with the players of the team that Joey was the most important factor in that famous climb. He paid a fine tribute to Con- noffy, both as a player and a man.
 The guest of the evening responded briefly, surprising hfs admirers by the excellence of his oratorical effort. Joey said~that he hoped to do a little better work next season and predicted that Boston would again win the pennant and the worlds championship.

TOWN TAX 1e MILLS.
Votsd by Adjourned Annual Nesting Majority Voted Down Suggestion for Higher Rate.


 The adjourned annual town meeting voted a 12 fnin tax Monday night after a long debate. This rate will raise something over $4z, ,000 while the esti- mate of the net expenses for the town for the year are in excess of $61 ,000 and the deficit will probably be the difference between those two sums. A strong effort was made to lay a 14 or 16 mill tax and while many were favorable to this the majority would not have it. The meeting was one of the largest in years, about 500 being present and it was enliyened by lively debate and comment. The school ap- propriation was increased to $29, ,o80. A resolution was passed to pay the collector of taxes a $500 salary from which is to be deducted S10 for every thousand dollars he fails to collect. The resolution provides also that he receive per eent.a additional of al back taxes collected, Another reso- lution was passed providing that these back taxes be collected before July first next. The regular taxes will be
 due on and after the first Monday in April. A resolution by W. I.
