Hatch, loca, req! estate dealer, who was fined s5 and costs, a total of s13O6, for breach of the peace by Judge Edward l.. Steele in Hartford police court yesterday. Lee entered a plea of guilty. He was represented by Attorney A. A. Green berg Victims of the accused'S yer hal demonstration were Detective Ser geant John M. Henry and Policeman Charles $. F'istler, both in plain clothes, who were in front of the .Bos- ton Branch grocery on Main street in Hartford. They claimed that Lee persisted in abusing them, after they had remonstrated over his driving too close to the curb until Policeman Charles D. Flynn in uniform appeared. The disturbance attracted a crowd of about 100.
 Lee had driven to Hartford to take Mrs Hatch and Mrs. Frederick s. Chamberlain and drove the car close fto the curb. One of the mudguards lit Detective Sergeant Henry who was standing with his back to the curb. The latter remonstrated and there was an argument It was testified that Ice took no stock in their claims of heinespolice officers and was frank iA rolling them so Lee said that the only indication they gave of being police men were their statements to this ef- feet and the display of watch by one of them.

 There is considerable wonderment as to why the Stanley Works although they purchased this land a number of years ago, never saw fit to record the deed. MT. Hart stated that j wear ago the property was assessed to him but a satisfactory arrangement was made by the assessors. This arrange ment, the assessors office explained to- day, were merely one of accomada- tion and did not result in the change of official records. A year ago when MT. Hart explained conditions the as- sessorsJ faVOr split his assess ment in twain, making separate items of his personal account and of that which the Stanley Works was said to own This enabled MT. Hart to pay the Stanley Works assessment levied aeainst him and then collect tue amount from the factory
 Failure to record a deed in the cicy clerks office may sometimes cause se- rious embarrassment to the owners, le- ing Mr. IIart's case. When one own.

Inasmuch as the deed on record how ever, is still in the name of the orig inal owner any suits brought against him may be protected by attachment of the property in his. name, even though ne mas sold it.

FAILURE TO RECORD
 LAND CAUSES MlXUP
Assessor DisClaimS Error and
 Blames Stanley Works

An investigation of the land records morning failed to show any record whereby the Stanley Works acquired the property formerly owned ny E. S- Hart on Plainville road and sold py ago.
 Yesterday MT. Hart appeared before the board ot relief and complalncd against the action of the assessors ln assessing him for $970O on thls prop erty. MT. Hart told the board that about ten years ago the Stanley Works purchased this property from nm put the deed was never recorded. He said that by a verbal agreement With the Stanley Works he continued to collect the rents and pay the taxes on th1s property until two years ago. He asked that the $9,7O0 assessment asalns9 him be erased and credited to the Stanley Works.
 Assessors Deny Error
 August Burckhardt, of the board of assessors stated this morning that this controversy is in no way an error il his department. He said that the board of assessors knew very well that the Stanley Works had purchased this property from MT. Hart many years ago, but without a legal change of re- corded deeds his department could make no changes on it's books. Every Saturday the assessors office receives from the city clerks office a complete list of deeds recorded, thereby keep ing on their own books an accurate record of every property owner. It is from these records from the city clerks office that the assessors make up their lists and until the deeds in the city clerks office are. changed, recording a new owner when property is transferred, the property has to
