MAY BAN STREET PUMPS
Board of Public Works Expected to
Take Action Eliminating Gasoline
Filling Stations.

1t is possible that at the meeting
of the board of public works this
evening some action may be taken
whereby all garage men and others
who have gasoline filling stations with
pumps located on the curbing will
be ordered to remove them.
Some mem bers of the board feel
that with the rapidly increasing
mum Der of filing stations along the
curbs in the city, they are becoming
a nuisance and a hindrance to traffic
Already there are large number of
these stations in the city and addi-
tional applications are being re-
ceived at every meeting. Should the
board vote to remove these filing
stations it will mean that every one
will have to go, and it will be neces-
sary for the owners to install them
in their own yards.

Report Will Be Made at
Next Meeting of Common
Council When Opponents
May Voice Their Ideas.

Believing that the real estate in the
city is to be oVer-asSesSed, a commit
tee of five was chosen last evening at
an executive meeting of the TaXpay-
ers and Rentpayers' association to in
Vestigate the ratings of the board of
assessors. The committee, according
to President P. S. Mcmahon of tsle or
ganization, will make thorough
probe of assessm that are to be
levied and will work in conjunction
with the city assessors. Should un-
fairness be found in the methods used
by the assessors, the association will
resort to injunction proceedings.
oppose New System.
The association also went on record
as being firmly opposed to the new
system of assessment that is being
planned. President Mcmahon de-
clared this morning that members of
the organization will be present at the
meeting of the common council on
June IS and will use every available
means to have the adoption of the
system here defeated.
EayOrs Local Men.
The association, said Mr.. McMa hon,
has gone on record as opposing the
new system as a useless expenditure of
the citys money. I'VE have men in
New Britain capable of making a.
proper assessment on a fair basis
without going to other cities to hire
experts at a large Nexpense. There
are plenty of men here who can fill
the qualifications and who are willing
and competent to appraise the prop
erty.''
Two Plans Considered.
August Burckhardt Aaron Danielson
and James j. Watson have been MAX
ing an exhaustive study of the Som
ners and Cambridge system of assess
ment. A report of their Investigations
will be made at the common council
meeting next week. and it is believed
that they will recommend in their re-
port that one of these systems be
adopted in this city. At the present
time properties are assessed only On
an estimate. The new system would
be expected to result in all realty be-
ing assessed on fair and systematic
Cd basis.
Two Places Visited.
Several weeks ago a committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Quigley reported
faVOrably on the adoption of sys-
tenn The common council authorized
the assessors to visit nearby cities
where the system is in vogue and in
vestigate how they worked out The
assessors in compliance with instruc-
ton from the council visited Cam
bridge, Mass, and West Hartford
Mayor Is In Favor.
Should the common council vote to
have the system installed in New
Britain, it is believed by the assessors
that the work of revaluing the prop
erty can be completed by October |.

vided, Mayor George A. QuigIey said

GRAIN QUOTATIONS
E. w. WAGNER & co.'s REVIEW


CHICAGO, March 25.-- All grains
made lowest early and May corn again
advanced to new high record on the
crop for the fifth time In eight days.
The unsettled foreign situation was
responsible for the selling early. On
the break there was persistent buying
which has been such feature for
several days and a sharp rally result
ed. Trading has not been on a broad
scale owing to holiday in New York.
Corn in the sample market unchanged
to two cents higher. Oats unchanged
TO u cent lower. The country Is re-
ported as more disposed to sell but
farmers are busy in the field Sea-
board exporters are out of the market
on both corn and oats. Offerings of
rye and barley were comparatively
heavy resulting in lower prices and
this also contributed to selling in corn
and oats. Lack of hedging sales makes
for stronger market. Confronting the
bulls is the known fact that Washing
ton is DESTROYS Of lower prices and
reduced living cost.
