RumOr Is That Association
Appeal Board Of Relief Rep0l
MEMBERS NOT SATlSFIE
Action Being Contemplated, 1t is Saids
because Board Failed to Boost Lie
Assessments of Many Of the Prop-
crty Owners.

The latest move on the part of the.
Taxpayers association, it was report
ed this afternoon, is to appeal from
the decision and report of the board
OF relief filed several weeks ago The
cause of the appeal, it IS understood,
Is because the list Of property owners
submitted to the board of relief by
representatives of the association to
pe materially raised in assessments
Was not acted upon by the board. In
speaking with q reporter this after
noon, Isadore Simons, one Of the
members Of the Taxpayers associa-
ton, did not deny the report, but
further substantiated the proba bility
Of it by saying that such a course as
an appeal was open to the association
Legal advice has been sought upon
the matter and the association has
been assured that it has grounds for
an appeal ito the superior court of the
state.
Grievances Arc Aired.
The real grievance on the part of
the association was made public
some time ago. Many Of the Main
street property owners who are mem
bers Of the association had their
y. /
objected that other Main street prop
erty owners did not have their prop
erty also assessed higher. They also
planned because some of the fac
tories were not assessed high enough
Representa- tiVes of the association ap-
peared before the board Of relief on
February 4 and stated tnat they
would prepare a list of properties they
o1
sessments for the listed properties.
The representatives did as agreed and !
appeared again on February 81. One
of the members of the association
stated this afternoon that he was of |
the opinion that the list was not acted |
upon because the representatives !
bringing in the list did not appear !
With it until after p. nj. It is also /
understood that Judge Joseph r. Tut |
tie, of Hartford, may be retained by |
the association, if the matter is
brought to court.
Chairman Makes Statement
In speaking this afternoon. William
Schaefer, chairman of the board Of
relief. stated that he had heard moth
ing of it, but he was glad if such &C
tion was taken. He told Of the state
lIuN w ulCH REQUIRES llol property own
ers whose properties are to be raised
by the board of relief must have seven
days no,ice of the increased assess
ments. He stated that the list
brought in by the associations repre-
sentatives was a day late and only six
days notice could possibly be given,
while the time might be diminished
to five after time for mailing was con-
sidered. He said this afternoon that
the members of the board of relief
had told the members of the associa-
ton of the impossibility of raising the
assessments. He is positive of the
right step being taken on the part
of the board of relief and stated that
he would enter into nothing which
was illegal regardless of the men con-
cerned in the matter. The mem bers
of the board of relief are: William
Schaefer, chairman; William Middle
mas and John Ross.

No employe of the bureau of war
risk insurance is to be discharged
from the government service until his
Or her case has been Investigated per-
sonally and every legitimate effort
made to place them in positions else
where. Col. NJ. r. Wainer, chief of
the division of personnel at the bu-
reau said today that already num-
Der of positions had been found for
some of the 400 employees of the allot-
be discharged or placed elsewhere at
the end of the present week.
Il have had calls from a number
of persons, including members of
Congress. asking that I take care OF
this person or that person." said Col.
Wainer today. and l have assured
them that was doing my best to look
after such employees even without spe-
cial solicitation"
Ex-Service People to Be Favored.
When told that it had been the
usual procedure in other departments
to dismiss employees with no word Of
warning. Col. Wainer said that the
war risk bureau would follow no such
practice. The only preference shown

Cholmeley-Jones Visits Capital.
Director R. G. Jones,
head of the war risk bureau, today
visited the Capitol to talk to members
Of Congress about reducing the per-
sonnet of the bureau. Some criticism
has been made because all of the per-
sons to be dropped are from the al
lotment and allowance division and
none from the insurance division.
where there are a number of men and
women on the temporary roll.
The director said today that the in
surance division Is made up of highly
specialized workers. some of whom
have been with the bureau since its
organization, and that to discharge
them now and replace them with per-
duties would disrupt the work alarm
ingly. Already the press of work has
made it necessary to use the day
force until 5 o'clock to bring the
correspondence up to date.
The reduction Of the force in the
allotment and allowance division was
made necessary by the falling off Of
the work as the Army and Navy were
demobilized.
Other Bureaus Not Affected.
At the Treasury Department today
IT was said no other bureaus or divi-
sions were expected to receive orders
in the near future to reduce their
