Notices of the increase in assess ments were sent out yesterday to all taxpayers. They responded with a rush today, everyone to examine the books and raise objection, but As sessors Knowlt0n and O'Brien, who were the only officials present this morning took the matter cool1y. The board of relief will work overtime for several weeks if they hear all the complaints for relief. Y
 Clerk De1bridge has not been in the assessors office in the daytime all this week. President Hughes is i'll at his home in Washington avenue and has not been at the office for three days The abstract of the grand list is not ready and not one of the assessors will venture a guess as to how large the total increase in assessments will be.
 There are the books; you can look over them,'' said Assessor O'Brien, when asked this morning what the to- tai grand list might be. Clerk Del bridge alone might venture a guess but he has been in hiding all week
 It was the intention of the admins trafion to boost the grand list at least $25, ,OOO, 900, thinking thereby that the tax rate might be kept at about lS

MYSTERY OVER
 DEPOSITORY OF
 KAM ACCOUNTS
Appraisers Can't Find Any Books or Records Belong
 ing To Late Baker.

Where William Kans the deceas9q Main street baker, banked his moneys tnust be found by Alfred Griesingef, who was appointed today in the pro bate court administrator of the estate Of Kam's mother. MT. Ram carried on prosperous baking business at l374 Main street. At his death the business was suspended and has new CT been re-opened- His estate con sisted of the baking business cash in banks and book accounts due him, but the banlxbooks cannot be found, nefth- CT can the books in which he car ried his accounts. It is said by some that MT Ram trusted to memory to keep track of amounts due him from many customers and like many other business men who do this his mem ory never played him false T At his death, without d will, several weeks ago, his entire estate reverted to his aged mother. Sophia Ram. Her son had been her constant compan- ion since his birth and she. unable to withstand the shock of his demise, followed him to the grave one week after his death. The sole heir to the estate now is the bakers sister, Miss Emma Ram. She applied for papers of administration on the estate today and at her request, MT. Griesinger was named.
 The sudden taking; off of her moth CT and brother which leaves her vir- tuaIIy alone in the world, seems to have dazed Miss Kahn. She had diff 6culty today in framing replies to Judge MiIIer's questions and she is unable to tell where the books of the
 business may be found. After the
 funeral of her mother Miss Ram dis appeared and it was feared her mind was affected and that she had wan l dered off. Later, however, she was | found at the home of relatives where she had gone forrest and quiet. | Since the death of MT. Ram the | bakery oven has been cold and the
 store at 1874 Main street closed. Mrs. i Ram with her son and daughter lived at 1,433 Main street. It was Mir.
 Rams custom every morning to open
 his store and remain until his sis I ter. who was clerk there, came to re- l lieve him.
 Then he would go to the house and bring his mother. Every morning no
 matter what the weather, residents Aof
 that vicinity saw mother and son pass, l the mother leaning on her sons arm. | MT. Kam then would start on his bak- | cry route, returning in the afternoon I to sit in the store with his mother l He was holding her hand when the l fatal shock of heart disease came. John L. Gerbich and William [, 1 Zepp were named appraisers of the estate today.
