MOBILIZATION CENTER
Possibility of DanieIson's Being Chos-
 en Because of Having Armory.

Danielson may be selected for the mobilization of the 132 men who are to be sent from this district to help fill the ranks of the new army.
 The exemption board has received it's instructions relative to mobiIizing the men, the first contingent, number ing about 40, to entrain for their en- campment, not yet designated but probably at Aver, Mass, on or very soon after September ,.
 The plan, not yet adopted, of hay ing the men assemble in Danielson, is due to the fact that this is the only town in the district that has state armOry.
 The local board will act immedi- ately upon receipt of instructions from the adjutant general to mobilize the men. Each man required to go in the first contingent will get an order to do SO with instruction as to the time and place.
 From the time specified for reporting to the local board for military duty each man in respect of whom notice to report has been posted or mailed shall be in the military service of the United States.
 After the men are assembled the To- cal board will be charged with tiC duty of furnishing the men meals and lodging. Special forms will be pro Nided upon which men may be granted permission to sleep and eat at home if they so desire.
 Before the men entrain some one of the group will be appointed provision al captain. To him will be turned over by the local board the mobilization papers and he will be charged with the duty of bringing the contingent into the cantonment to which it is ordered.
 Railroad tickets will be supplied the men.
 The men will be permitted to take with them only light baggage prefer ably bundles in which they may have toilet articles and changes of under clothing.
 The local board i nthis district will not assemble the contingent at an earlier time than is absolutely neces- sary.
 Crushed Stone for Street.
 A quantity of crushed stone, to be used in laying the foundation of the new state highway in Main street has arrived here and has been distributed on upper Main street northerly of Stearns street. Thousands of bags of cement for use in making the con- crete roadway also has arrived here, so the actual work of building the roadway will be underway in the near future.
 Men to Appeal.
 It was made known Wednesday that some men whose claims for exemption have been disallowed will file appeals to the district board. This action is perfectly legitimate. The district board will review the evidence in such cases and may at it's discretion re- verse the ruling of the local board.

WLLIMANTIC

three of the offices are to be filled at the election in October, only one and one-half months away. Two of the members have resigned and the other member whose term ends this year, says that he will not run again.
 One of the objections to the office is the pay, which is the princely sum Of s200 year. This has been the salary responsibilities of the office have in creased by more than 50 per cent. in that number of years, and the office now Aquires about four to five months of work a large part of which is cler- ical. Another objection to the posi- ton is that a man who holds the of fee loses many of his friends, or makes many enemies. people who think he is not using them squarely. The last straw is the state law which was passed by the recent legislature, and approved May 1, 1917, which is chapter 214,- page 2366, and is called ''an act concerning the revaluation of real estate property for the taxation purposes" which is as follows: The assessors of all towns. consolidated towns and cities and consolidated towns and boroughs, unless otherwise provided, shall, on or before Feb. l, 1920, and during each period of ten years thereafter view all of the real estate of their municipalities, and shall reValue the same for assessment, and in the performance of these duties at least two of the assessors shall act to- gether, and all valuations shall be sep arately approved by a majority of the assessors.
 This law means that an extra amount of work will be thrown on the new board and if they are all new men they will find plenty of work
 The office is one of the poorest paid of all town offices in proportion to the amount of work to be done. All the other office holders have had their pay increas sed.
