TO REASSESS
In VALUATIONS
Chamber of Commerce Making
Attempt to Have Reas-
sessment At Once
Meeting Of Taxpayers VIII Be Held
March 26th

The matter of a reaSsessment of prop
erty values of the town of Putnam foi
the purpose of taxation has long beer
discussed but it has never been car
ried into effect.
At the last annual town meeting
an attenpt was made to increase the
salaries of the assessors to have them
do the work and the matter of hiring
outside experts was also spoken of but
no action was taken.
I'll is we'll known that property val
ues have advanced and that there
are some glaring inequalities in the
present assessments. To rectify this
and add the substantial increase to
the grand list which the advance prop
erty values warrant, reassessment
should be made. This is the only way
possible that the tax rate can be re-
duced aud it is an equitable way.
The expenses are consistently in
creasing and this year the budget
amounts to $11, 900 and 20 mill
tax had to be levied.
To bring this matter to head the
Putnam Chamber of Commerce has
become active a meeting of tax
payers will be held Friday evening,
March 26th, when matters pertaining
to a reassment win be thoroughly dis
cussed.

Ghetto gave no reason for not report
ing except in one instance when his
father called up to say that the boy
was sick. The officer also said that
Blanchette lied to him and that ne
could not depend on-what he said.
Rianchette said that every time he
went to see the probation officer the
officer game him Oh" Once the
officer told him that if he did not give
him Sc he would have him pulled.
He said that the reason he did not
york was because he was sick.

Ia effect Blanchette had laughed al
the court and seemed to think it was
joke.

he had been lenient with him and thai
it was a serious matter, but as there
was some doubt as to whethe- he hat
been wilful in not obeying tie officer
order, he would give hina another

WEBSTER WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP
Took Third Basket Ball Game
From Tourtellotte High,
But Game Is Protested
Directors of League Will Hear Merits
of Claim Tuesday Night.-Put-
nam to Begin Play OFF

A basket ball game between Web
ster High and Tourtellotte Memorial
High of North Grosvenor-Dale was
played in this city Tuesday evening
to decide the championship of the
northern division of the Quinebaug
Valley Basket Ball League Webster
won the game Otto II and Tourtel-
lotte has protested it. The merits of
the protest viii be taken up at a
meeting of the league directors in
this city Tuesday night.
The game was an important one
and was therefore fast At the end
of the first period the score stood
Webster 10 and Tourtellotte Z. Coach
Potter went on the floor to argue a
matter of fouls and it is on this
ground that the protest was entered.
The teams had met twice before
and each won on its own floor The
game Tuesday night was the play off
and Putnam was decided on as a neu-
trail court
Putnam will begin series of games
with Webster Monday night. Put
nam won the championship of the
southern division and will play the
champions of the northern division
two out of three games for the cham
pionship of the league.
If the league directors uphold the
claims of the Tourtellotte team and
the playoff should result in Tourtel-
lotte's favor then Putnam would have
to play Tourtellotte for the champion
ship.
AS the season is drawing to close
it was thought best to go ahead and
start the games while the matter of
the protest is being decided. as well
as the outcome, should the protest be
upheld and Tourtellotte should finally
win. 1t will give the matter start
in The event that Webster is, declared
the winner and the matter of the
championship will not be deferred to
50 late in the season.
