 OF PROPERTIES
Wheeler Estate and D. M. Read Go. to Ask Courts to
 Review Assessments.

The estate of Nathaniel Wheeler and the D. M. Read corporation have filed notice of an appeal from the as- sessment upon their property by the City Tax Commissioner. The protest DTS think that $517,569 is fair as- sessment while the commissioner placed the value as $8s3,626. Four other notices of appeals were filed with City Clerk Robinson this morning by the law firm of Marsh, Stoddard &. Day.
 Other appeals were from the White Manufacturing Co. in Cannon street They claim their property is valued al $26,0S9, while the city placed it as | $34,471; goods of the company wers assessed at $55,00O while the company thinks $25,00O is a fair valuation Frank T. Staples of East Main street claims his property should be assessed at $10,000, while the city placed it al S24,OOO, the Board of Relief reducing the figure to $1S,040. This, Mr. Staples thinks, is too high.
 Egbert Marsh, as executor of the estate of the late Sarah F. Marsh, in BarnJm avenue and East Main street places the assessed value of the prop. erty at s19,O00 as against the city fig ures of s42,25O. Laura F. Staples whose property is 50 feet on East Main street, thinks it should be as sesse5 at $4,500 and that the re1ie1 given her when the value was placed at s6,5O0 from $12,250 in insufficient.
 Frank T. Staples and the Yelling ton company who have property oI Riparian street, place the assessed value of the property at $S,OO0. Tht city placed it at s22, 925. The Board O Relief set the Ggures at $12,000 an, this is still too much, is the owner belief.

A little internal education" in the
cloak and suit trade, say some who
ought to know. will cut out the making
of a lot of non-essential garments and
thus help effectually the Governments
plans for conservation. There is no
question that the trade wants to CO.
operate with the Government. but Il
little concentrated headwork will show
where they can readily
do this.
Every season a great volume OF gar
ments are made that remain unsold and
eventually have TO be sacrificed. A lit
tie more thought given by manufacturers
to more accurate gauging OF customers
wants before the garment lines are pre-
pared will save much waste and over
production. Cooperative thinking and
action along this line will save the mar
ket from being overstocked and will
give unmistakable evidence that the In
dustry is intelligently helping the Gov
