senting his financial condition in order to
get pos esson of an automobile owned

consumated by the general manager,
George NJ. Besett, who has been con-
nected with the business for a little

tor for the last II years, and whose
business ability has brought 1t up to
the high standard by which this deal
was made possible. 1t Is regretted that
the stockholders OF this corporation.
most of whom are citizens of Burling
ton, felt it advisable to sell but Mr..
Besett assures the Free Press that the
business will be conducted in this city
and that no radical changes will be
made.

ing the successor to the original firm

ASSESSMENTS REDUCED
Commissioners Come to Relief Of Prop.
erty Owners on Two Streets

The commissioners in the case Of the
abutting property owners on Foster
, street and Lyman avenue. in their APP
peals from the assessments levied by the
street commissioners for the construction
of sewers, have reported and Judge Stan
ton has ordered judgment so that in a
few days, after the judgments have been
recorded in the city clerks office, the
city Of Burlington should have it's
treasury enriched by several hundreds
of dollars from this source. The com.
mssioners in every case found that the
assessments. which We're based on the
theory that the city derived no benefit
from the construction of the sewers, were
too high and material reduction was
made in the amounts, 80 the property
owners won their cases.
1t has been the general custom in Bur-
linston to assess abutting property own
ers for sewers the amount which It cost
to install them. This was done In the
cases on Foster street and Lyman ave-
nue.. but w. b. McKilip and John MIL
lette carried the cases into court for
themselves and the other properh, own
ers, with the result that F. @. Fleetwood
of Worthwhile, r. H. Wheeler of South
Burlington and e. w Henry OF Under
hill were appointed commissioners. They
completed the hearing on the case
October Is.
The commissioners found that the city
had levied the total amounts of the
costs on the theory that the municipality
received no benefit from them ana re-
duced the amounts to be paid from the
assessments on Lyman avenue as fell
lows NJ. Belle Houston $2994s to $500;

the property holders have paid, but the
city has due II about 5000 which can
be used to great advantage in the event

will go to the city to be used for school
purposes. In nearly all such cases
claimant appears from somewhere, how
ever, and the process by which the prop
erty would go TO the city occupies many
years.
Pritchard is not known to have any near
relatives and he was never married. For
the past % years he has made his home
with Mr.. and Mrs. Luther 7. Clough on
School street. He retired from active
business at least % years ago. and as
he has since lived on the income of his
money he is thought to have left a con-
siderable estate.
In such cases, an administrator Of tho
estate is appointed on the petition Of the
creditors If no one else. The property
is gotten in hand as best IL can. Pritchard
owned the house and lot at % School
street and had recently sold another house
and lot on South Champ ain street Ii IL
thought he had considera lie money In
banks. In every old bank are large
deposits, which remain there year after
year drawing interest when the officials
do not know what has become of the
owner. These are largely the result OF
persons dying intestate and leaving their
money where it is not discovered.
