Two years ago special acts were passed in the Connecticut genera! as-
 senbiy that concerned the city of New London, and among them was one authorizing the park commission CTS to have made a map of the city, so arranged as to give in detail every piece of property i'll the city, and to regulate the laying out of streets, de- f1nins all the requirements, and also to establish building lines. Just about as another legislature is to assemble the park commissioners have got busy and the map makers have commenced the work, when this special act be- comes operative there will be no more laying out of new streets, with the only object in view of getting the most number of building lots for the market and without regard to the width or route of the street, of which there are all to many in New London

At the last meeting of the court of common council a proposition, backed by rt1e mayor, was adopted which pro- Vlded for board of equalization with the object of placing taxation on a more equal basis. and by means of $60,eo0 to $7o,00O additional from tax ation. It was voted that the board consist of three members and the mayor wisely named the board of the assessors as the board ot equaliza- tlon. He could have done nothing less. The assessors gre elected Sy the people just as are the mayor and the members of the court of common council, and are responsible to the people and not the council. That is the assessors are in6ependant of the council. It is their duty to assess. property, and no board of equaiiza- ton could order the assessors to change figures to suit the opinion of a different board. The salary for each member of the board of equalization pay gives each of the three assessors s1,000 a year, but for one year only. and that is for the year 1917
 That was a very neat method for the council to shift the responsibility for increased revenue upon the as- sessors and thereby bring the enmity oL lhC fOICAS dEdlISL the aforesaid assessors. Had the court of common council prepared just such a budget, as they desired and carried with it an increased tax in order to meet the increased expenditures, the probability is that some of the aldermen would not have been reelected, the annual city meeting being held before the city election. Still that would have been the proper method and then the people would know just where they were at. That board of equalization sounds well. but that is about all there Is to 1t, as the assessors would not be bound to pay any attention to any returns that board made that would change the assessments made by the constituted board whose duty it is to assess the property of their fellow citizens and their own.
 It is hoped that a year hence the court of common council will como right out in the open with a budget that they consider to be absolutely necessary and include a tax sufficient to meet the same. Then when the ap- propriations are up for consideration the reople can approve or disapproye and fix the tax rate at the same time At the present time this board of equalization is a subterfuge. Do their best and the taxes could not be pro- perly equalized in single year. It took four years for tho taxes in New Haven to be equalized and the nnr-

Large sections of aluminium castings are now used in making tour ing cars and the inclosed bodies of certain other motor cars a use which was not practicable ten years ago. Cast aluminium is also used for mak- ing automobile dashes. Bodies made of it are lighter than those made of other sheet metal and have a rigid sur- face that will not dent easily when handled. They are also safer in case of accident. The aluminium surface retains paint well and the increased rigidity makes the car more durable.

The projectors based their state ment on shaky foundation. They supposed that the increased valuation of property would bring the amount into the city treasurer over and above the regular requirements That is where they erred. for although the as- sessment was made, the assessors soon realized that large amount of property assessed was not assessable at that time. For instance that laid on the Grand Trunk steamboats Man hattan and Narragansett, that had not been in the port sufficiently long to be taxable here, and also that a sec- tion of the Central Vermont wharf that had been leased for merchantl1e purposes was 50 leased no longer. In these items of themselves almost the whole of that $32.00c faded away.

New London, Dec 15.--- Several months since there was special city meeting in New London held for the purpose of making an appropriation of $S2,o0G for the construction of a mun- icipal pier and increasing the accom- modations at the New London ap- proach to the Groton ferry. There was opposition to the project. but when Mayor Rogers, and others sup posed to be especially we'll versed in the city's finances, stated that the money to pay for the work was in hand. or rather in sight, and that there would be no increase in taxa tion by reason of the expenditure, the proposition received favorable con- sideration, and many at the meeting really supposed the financing for the improvement was settled. It was ex- plained that as a matter of legal formality it was necessary to pass a vote for special tax to meet the ex- penso, and this was done, the belief prevailing that the city financiers knew just where they were at. It was about that time that it was stated in tnie correspondence that mistake had been made and that the s32, 900 was not in hand or even in sight.
