FERTILIZATION QUESTION MAKES
 LIVELY MEETING SUBJECT

lively revaluation group meeting was held at the chamber of commerce rooms on Shetucket street Tuesday eve ming for the purpose of getting the views of those present in regard to the question of the revaluation Of property in Norwich. A number of those pres ent took part in the discussion which lasted until about 9.30 o'clock.
 Several expressed their opinion that this is hot the time for a revaluation Others felt that to pursue the 'revalua- tion question reflects on the assessors while others felt that a low rate with a high valuation is no different than a high rate with a low valuation. Some made the statement that they have pro- perty in the list assessed for more than they paid for it. Others said that they believe that, all the assessable pro. perty in the town is not on the list at all and that the method of assessing property is lax in some respects, and to say the least the assessments are not | equitable
 As the matter stood at the conclu- sion of the session the members of the group were about equally divided on the question of reYaluation.
 The chamber of commerce was organ ized to assist in developing the town and city industrially, commercially and l III every poSSlDle manner, said Secre- 1 tary O'Rourke after the meeting Dur. ing the fecent reorganization campaign over sixty members suggested a re-val- uation as one of the things they desire to see go through. They asked for re- Valuation on an equitable basis and the vast majority of the sixty who made l the suggestion are property holders ] Consequently re-valuation became the first plank in the chambers programme
 of work.
 It is the duty of the chamber to in vestigate present conditions impartially and fairly and to bring before the pub
 lie mind of the city the facts as they are found after due and impartial in vestigation, said Secretary O'Rourke The committee does not intend to be
 nor do the directors sanction the ques
 tion of being partisan on this impor
 tant subject, he continued. As tim
 goes on and the investigation continues
 the assessors will be asked to sit in a I the meetings. This is not a matter t
 be hurried but careful and due consid
 eration will be given to- all phases o
 the tax problem. It is job the cham : Der has to go on with. The revaluatio
 question originated with the member themselves and the matter has to be in f vestigated.
 . It was brought out in the meetin oi Connecticut were required by law t' = have a revaluation before Februar
 1920 and that there has been no sue
 revaluation in Norwich. The same la a requires revaluation once. in ten year
