AMERICAN WOMEN
 HONORED INFRANC|
One Meets POinCare and AnOthd
 General JOfre AA|

Paris, Aug. 9.-American womeI yesterday were signally honored il France-one by the president of tn republic in Paris, and another at th| field headquarters of General Joffrd commander of the French army.
 President and Mme Poincare vis ited Miss Winifred Holt's ''Lihthousei for French soldiers blinded in the war Ambassador Sharp assisted in receiving the president and Miss Holt escorted the party through the spacious build- ing, which accommodates two-score patients.
 President Poincare's curiosity wad aroused at pushball being played in the courtyard, and he asked what sord of game it was. Specimens of type7 writing, clay modelling, weaving, bas- Network, embroidery, carpet makings painting and sculpturing done by the blind interested Mime. Poincare par ticularly.
 The president brought presents for every patient and thanked Miss Holt on behalf of France. Mrs. William Vanderbilt and Miss Anne Morgan also were present
 The first American woman to be presented to General Joffre at his headquarters is Miss Grace GassetteY a Chicago artist. Learning that Miss Gassette was in the military zone in- troducing a new surgical bandage, the French chief invited her to pay him a visit.
 General Joffre told Miss Gassette he was especially glad 'to take this op- portunity of expressing gratitude for the personal services of American in the war, and made com olimentary references to the Ameri- an ambulance work generally.
 General Joffre was the recipient of pipe in a case, lined with the flags # the allied nations, by the com nunal He told Miss Gassette and his other visitors that he appreciated the lift, but that he did not smoke. Gen. ral Joffre, however, has distributed 5000 packages of cigarettes among )is troops.

The amounts found unco1lectet during that period follow:

The total amount was approximate lv S5,000. MT. Deming then explained the board had considered the matter from all angles. The members did rot believe drastic action will be nec- essary to obtain the taxes. It offered the suggestion that any apparent sh ortage be proved to the various col 1ectors and a settlement be made. In many cases it has been found that rersons have receipts for taxes and they have not received credit on the books A resolution was then passed instructin the se1ectmen to have the town auditors examine all books and take necessary action to protect the town.
 First Selectman William H. Gibney wished to know if the committee meant by necessary steps" to bring suit Chairman Deming replied in the affirmative. Mr. Lewis said the reso- lution would not "get anywhere" be- c,use many people have receipts signed by the town treasurer, which do not show on the collectors books. Mir Gtbney suggested that the audit ors also have the treasurer's books at the same time, so a successful audit could be made. Auditor George Sul T. found on some books the letter B. after an amount paid. He surmised that stood for the name of William Bulkeley. who was town treasurer at the time. Mr. Sullivan also spoke of the need of a, monthly audit of the towns books and expressed a hope future meeting would order this to be done The resolution was then amend ed to include the treasurer's books.
 Collector Lewis said that many have claimed to have receipts for the years in question but have refused to show them He did not think the collector should be responsible for the costs of any suit which might arise out of talk ing necessary steps to have the re- ceipts produced and wished a. resO1u- ton that the town would stand re- sponsib1e for any suits brought on the years previous to 1914.
 What does the statutes say regard ing that Gib?" said the genial mod orator to the prosecuting attorneY
 '"The law says that all suits of that nature must be brought in the name of the collector,'' replied the first se- lectman.
 But things had been going along smoothly all evening and no one was desirious of ruffling any other, so the

Board Of Finance Presents Item iZed Report at Town Meeting
1T IS A TAME AFFAIR
1Uncol1ected Taxes Prior to 1900 Abated and Efforts Will Be Made to Settle All Others-Adjourns Sine Die-Lightning's Franks,

Though the elements stormed with out and the heavens let loose a deluge on the town of Berlin last evening, nevertheless the sixth adjourned annual town meeting was a prosaic affair. About sixty citizens were pres ent when Moderator Charles M Jarvis called the meeting to order Ths feel Ing was prevalent that the gathering would finally dispose of the back tax matters and later events justified this feeling. The business was done in a business-like manner and everyone felt a certain satisfaction when the meeting adjourned sine die about 9:45 o'clock. Town Clerk Francis Shaw read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were accepted.
 Colonel Jarvis called the attention of the voters to the fact that this was the sixth adjournment and said that while he realizes the back tax question is important. he thought al- together too much time had been spent on it. The matter has been 'footballed long enough already. He expressed the hope that no personaH- ties would be indulged in, for all cause animosity, and cautioned all that par
  The chair had allowed certain 1ati- tude in previous meetings, but now felt it is time to get down to brass tacks." He then called on Francis Deming, chairman of the board of finance, for the report of that board. The report as presented reflected no little credit on the members of the board. it being minute in every detail The board had spent considerable time and labor on the books and the c0ncensus of opinion of those pres ent was that it was done in an excel lent manner and after the meeting the individual members were the re- c,ptents ( of many laudatory remarks Prefacing the report MT. Deming safa: 'The last legislature had passed an act outla wing all taxes over fifteen sears old. The committee has divided the report in two sections, the first dating from 1888 to 1900. The 1891 Took Is missing and has been for sev H arsl years. The committee feels there would be nothing gained by rchashing the former controversies regarding that book s The following amounts were found fo be u0cOllected:

CLOSE FISCAL YEAR
 WITH DEBTS ERASED
Revenue from Taxation Sufficient
 to Pay Town Bills YEAR ENDS NEXT WEEK
Poor Account Will Show Reduction Police anl Court Expenses Will Figure Up Well-May First Pay ment on Bonded Indebtedness

While it is considered improbable that there will be balance of any appreciable size remaining, the board of selectmen now believe that the town will close it's fiscal year next Wednesday with all bills paid. the revenue derived from taxation at the increased rate being sufficient to cover the expenses. First Selectman Johnson this morning asserted that at the close of the year the town will not be any further in debt providing the cost of maintain ing the school Is not greatly in ex- cess of the estimate made by the committee in charge some time ago.
 Tomorrow evening when the se- lectnen hold the last meeting of the fiscal year the matter of closing the books next week will be considered, the board preparing to start a new year on August 16. The towns year now closes on August 15 as the result of action taken at the town meeting. The date has been set early to enable the selectmen to have their reports in shape for presentation to the voters before the annual election.
 According to MT. Johnson the var ious departments of which the se- lectmen have jurisdiction will not be greatly changed as far as expenses are concerned from last years. Elk cept for the construction of new roads in the Westwood park section, the selectmen have confined their high way work for the year to repairs and as a consequence there will not be more than a nominal increase in the cost of streets.
 The poor account Is expected to show a substantial decrease. The past year has been one of marked pros- perity and as there has been plenty of work there has been no excuse for charity applications, except in a few cases. During the past two years several of those who for a long time had been supported by the town have died and as the selectmen took on very few to take their places, the ex- pense of looking after the needs of unfortunates has not been large.
 Although the appropriation for po- licing the streets was limited to $2OO by the annual town meeting, the se- lectman believes that the cost Of DO lice and courts is going to be heavy for the year While the selectmen assigned men to duty only on special occasions, the constables have been &C., tive and they have collected consider able in fees from law-breakers who came in their path. This they were able to do by the opening of the trans fer station at the freight yards. Nearly 1000 men, many of whom are in the derelict class, have been given em- ployment at the station since the be- ginning of the year and because Of their drinking proclivities, represen- tatve number of them have been locked up by the police.
 Tn probably the majority Of cases the accused men were either sentenced to jail or owing to their inability to

MT. Deming said the committee re- allzed these accounts could never be collected according to the act of the recent legislature and altered two res oIutlons, one being that all the poll and military taxes uncollected during that period be abated and the other, regarding the abatement of the prop erty taxes, which amounted to s1, 9SO.92. After a brief discussion, the voted to adopt the resolution.
 Chairman Deming then presented the second part of the report, which covers from 1901 to 1914 Although page 70 of the 1901 book was missing nevertheless the committee had made a careful audit by referring to the rate makers book and found that there is still due the town from that year $153.

the high tension wires set fire to the box on the pole at the northeast of the Berlin depot this morning before six o'clock. The box was totally de- stroyed by flames Many railroad em- plovees tried to put on a stream of water, but when the hose was at +acbed to the pump, the pressure was not great enough to throw stream. The insulation around the wires was destroyed and consequently no trains could run over the MiddletoWn branch until after o'clock. The system is fed from this box. The Con- nectfcut River Special stopped at the denot this morning for the first time in order to take those wishing to reach Middlet own, to Meriden, where the trolley lines were running. The Berlin Construction also obtains it's electric power, via this box, and was unable to commence work in the yard until about 8:3O o'clock.

State Master w. J. Thompson, in
his annual address at the opening Of
the State grange in Bangor yester-
day, voiced the attitude OF the grange
in regard to road Improvement. He
believes that much larger proportion
of road money should be expended
for roads connecting the farm and
factory with the market or shipping
point, that the wealthier community
should contribute to the poorer, that
the present system Of trunk line and
State-aid roads il more intensive
than the State can afford because OF
its immense mileage, and that much
money could be saved by building
roads from the standpoint of business
rather than that of the engineer. He
said road building should be busi-
ness problem and not an engineering
problem.
