John M Browning, many years ago purchased the large tract of land in the Watch HiII section, located be- tween the ocean and the Watch Hill road. now occupied in part by the MisQuamicut Golf club and some of the finest of summer residences. MT. Browning purchased the great tract of land for $i70O. and at that time there were many who declared he had paid too much for his whistle" MT. Browning has been selling pieces of this property for building sites, and it is believed that thus far he has net ted $50,090 in these sales and that the balance of the property will eventual ly bring $50,010 more. His land is taxed for $20,O00 and his tangible property for $1000, and he pays in taxes $S16 year.
 MT. Browning stated on Thursday that he was taxed too high on his Watch Hill property, a great deal tween Watch Hill and Charlestown, although the farms brought in some thing to the owners every year, while nothing came to him unless he sold a building lot, large or small. He said that by reason of the high taxes, and interest on some other farm land that he owned, on which there were mort gages. 1t kept him scratching gravel to meet these demands. He added that Is a reason why he wore a ragged coat and had no automobiles.
 When he first bought the Watch Hill property he paid $7.84 in taxes and now he pays $315 and he has sold off half of the property at that. He says that the more he sells, the great CT the increase in taxes, so that now he fears to sell, as he may not be able to meet the increased taxes
 He said he ought to receive more favorable consideration from the town of Westerly in the matter of taxation, as no one man did more than he in developing the Watch Hill section, by getting his land into the market, and in having erected thereon high grade cottages. He had put in many and many a hard d1dRy's work opening up that road along the shore and never asked the town of Westerly dollar
