To Celebrate inc 20Qih Anniversary of
 General Putnam $ Birth

The Hartford Post Is going to see 10 1t that Putnam celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of General Israel Putnam after whom the town was named. It already has this city making start in that direction. fl this be so 1t Is not generally known.
 The first suggestion of the kind was received a few weeks ago from Souve. mir William Harrison Taylor. That 1t would be fitting for Putnam to make the occasion a memorable one is not to be denied. That ia start has already been made in Putnam Is another matter.
 The Post says:
 "Janunry of next year is the 2O0th anniversary of the birth Of Israel Put nam, the great Revolutionary leader and a start has been made. already in Putnam to have big celebration there on that occasion. "Souvenir" Taylor, who suggested the movement to Putt nam newspapers, who have taken 1t up has been in consultation with of- ficers of the Putnam phalanx in this city to try to stir up celebration in Hartford. It is likely that some steps will be taken sby the phalanx to ar. range some fitting celebration for the anniversary"

ASSESSMENT
 REDUCED
Judge Shumway Finds Assessors Put to Great Valuation on Putnam Inn
 Property
Reduces Assessed Valuation Nearly Si0,.

Judge Milton A. Shumway handed down decision "Wednesday morning in the case of Ellen NJ. Buebee's ap- peal from the board of assessors of the town of Putnam.
 This case was tried last week and the appellant produced several witnesses who estimated the value Of the Put nam Inn property at S35, GOO. Ap- pellee introduced three witnesses who valued the property at S50,0 ,0o0 based on the income derived.
 The court found that in 1914 the property was worth s35,000 and that been made that enhanced the value S4 ,5C0 so that when the assessment was made in October 1914, from which appeal was taken, the property was worth S39. .500.
 It was agreed by counsel in the case that the assessment for taxation pur poses was figured at 75 per cent. of the actual value so that according to the courts finding the tax will be .paid on S29,625 instead of on S39 300, the amount given by the board of assessors. This is in effect reduction of approxi- mately Sl0,000.
 Lawyers J F. Carpenter and William King represented the appellant while Lawyers Charles E. Searls represented the town ,and Charles l.. Torrey the city of Putnam.
