Representative GrisvOid Tells Presi- dent Farnum of His Stand in Let 8 ecuted-Bank Petition.

D Chief among those who appeared before the board of relief yesterday
 as Louis $. Reynal who, in his ca
 hacity as treasurer or the American Paper Goods company, requested that {S7 900 be deducted from the assess ment of the concern he represented.
 The assessment of the company, as Announced in the grand list, is S107,- 3645. an increase of S1S,300 over last years figure and s7,125 over the amount named in the list submitted Sto the board of assessors in Novem- 1 Der. Of the total assessment an item 1 of s65, ,0O0 for the factory buildings is the largest. By virtue of the fact that 8 large new building was erected dur ing the course of the past year, the
 company put in a list this year for
 an increased assessment of more than |S1O,0OO. Nevertheless, the assessors ! saw fit to give it another boost which (unwarranted.

 Mr. Gwatkin wanted S10O taken off the assessment on his automobile. lie listed it at $500, but the assessors valued it at $500. MT. Austin com plained that the assessment on his ice houses was more than it cost him 10 erect them. MT. Austin considers
 them worth about s250. The. assess DTS think $500 plus this figure is
 none too much. MT. Cowles, who
 lives in Southington, is assessed s150 kfor twelve and half acres in Ken sington. He simply called to deter mine the exact, dimensions of that part of his property which is over the Berlin line.
 James kerrigan of kensington
 asked that s15O be deducted from his 2 assessment which was fixed at $2,3OO.
 The object of George Norton's call was to make some explanations con- corning the number of building lots in
 the Robbins estate. Fifty-four of
 them cover twenty-one and half \ acres The estate is assessed for sS,25O.

It Is as easy as It is important to,
observe:
A light not properly shaded to
reduce its brightness should never
be within the range OF vision.
1t should never be wholly un-

Proper shading consists in sur
rounding the source of light with a
translucent shade or globe of such
a nature that 1t does not allow tho

Wall Mixtures must be heavily
shaded and pendant ceiling fixtures
must have frosted tipped lamps for

the surrounding shades.

WILL ASK FOR BIDS TO
repair RIVER BANKS

The Levy Court at It's meeting yester-
day afternoon rejected all bids for
building the Christiana river bank at
Newport and instruct d County Engi-
neer Wilson to advertise for bids.
Mr.. Fouracre asked Frank J.. Speak
man, attorney Of the court, regarding
the right of the Levy Court to have work
done which cost more than $500.
Mr. Speakman stated that he did not
think the court could legally enter into
contract involving more than $500
without first advertising for bids.
'1n my opinion the new bid should be
advertised for" he said
Mr. Fouracre moved that the county
engineer advertise for bids TO be opened
next Tuesday at noon. Mr.. Groves, how
ever, again urged immediate action.
''The matter was referred to the finance
committee and now you vote against the
recommendation of the finance commit
tee" he said. "For Heavens sake, when
will you be ready? I think it is time
VIC get busy. There is no assurance Mr..
Richards will bid that low the next
time Next Tuesday the bid may come
in 1920. and we win again reject it.
Then the next time IL viii be $500, and
so OH until next summer it viii be about

Mr.. Scott exclaimed; "Suppositionsi
all suppositions. The city Of Whining
ton might slide into the Christiana, but
it's not going to do it. 7, for one, will
not vote to accept higher bid"
The motion was unanimously adopted
and then the members Of the court and
some of the farmers from Newport talk
ed once more about the break in the
banks and the damage being done.
