MAYORS ESTIMATE
 HIGH, IT IS SAID
Furniture Dealers Do Not Agree
 With Quigley's Statement

Mayor Quigley's attitude on having permanent board of assessors that they may devote their entire time to the preparation of assessments and more time than at present to the as- sessments of personal property is well known. He is 9 firm believer in this system and has declared that he has gone over the grand list and found the assessments for household furnishings aggregating only about $6O, 900. He thinks the amount should be far in excess of that.
 Furthermore, his honor is quoted With estimating that the furniture dealers in the city do a total business of about $500,000 annually and he feels that the tax. list should show an increase in the amount every year. Several prominent furniture dealers today stated that in their opinion the combined business of local furniture dealers does not approach the half million dollar mark annually and expressed the belief that the mayor was decidedly off in his figures.
 On Trail of Costly Rugs.
 Among other revisions of assess ments by which he hopes to boost the personal property tax, Mayor Quigley has mentioned that some homes in New Britain have imported rugs in excess of $1,00O. Silverware and cut glass in homes also amounts to considerable, the mayor thinks, and should be included in the prop erty tax.
 Although not denying that certain changes might be made that would net the city more revenue, a number of prominent men in city and business life today stated that they do not think the plan to increase the personal property tax would be altogether feasible. They argue that although new furniture might be purchased in a home, it would proba bly, mean that old furniture was being discarded. Thus the increased value of the new furnishings alone would not be fair, but the depreciation in the home value for the furniture discarded would have to be considered. There is law, it is likewise stated. which provides for the payment of taxes on watches, clocks. pianos. victrolas, Jewelry and other so-called luxuries, yet it is hard to find a city where this Is strictly adhered to. It Is predicted that such a scheme would be impos- s1ble to carry out as no small board of assessors could possibly find the time to visit each and every home, as should be done if the plan Is to be ra1rly worked out, and give fair taxation

CANDIDATES FOR ASSISTANT.
Methodist Church Has Four Names
 Under Consideration.


 The official board of the Trinity Methodist church has under con- sideration four men who wish to be- come assistant to the pastor, Rev. Warren F. Cook. The names of these men have not been made public but a choice is expected soon. One can- didate is from Iowa, one from Mount Vernon, N. Y., another is at Cleve- land and the third is at present preaching near New Britain. The leading candidate at present seems to be the one living near New Britain but his identity and his position are still a secret. A man from Gary, Ind, where the Gary system is working, is also being considered by the board.
 If the present plan of Rev. Warren F. Cook of the Methodist church goes through the parish will be redistricted into twenty parts rather than twelve as in the past. Each district will have a woman as superintendent and she will have a staff of assistants.
