At the Wrong Point

Boston. Dec. 6.-Three residents of
Greater Boston who "jaywalked"
downtown today were fined SO each by
Judge Murray in the municipal court.
Frank A. Goodwin, state registrat

advisability of a city ordinance against
"jaywalking." the term applied by the
Boston police to crossing streets at
other than designated places The
registrar said that in fairness the Pc

be just as much subject to fine as the
motorist who has to be constantly on

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the
Republican leader in the Senate, was
the spokesman and he and the
President thus met face to face for
the first time since the League of
Nations covenant and the peace
treaty were defeated in the Senate
under Senator hodges leadership.
The President did not shake hands
with his visitors. They were ush-

House attendants and then Mr.. Will
son appeared from an adjoining
room. He wore a blue sack suit and
used cane, on entering the door he
smiled and. pointing to his cane,
said:

dispense with my third leg"
The committee was at the White
House only a few minutes and the
President remained standing at the
door of the room during their inter-
view. Some of the visitors said that
in walking his left leg evidenced his
affection and that he kept his left
hand up across his chest.

There was a difference of opinion
as to the Presidents voice. One of
the callers described it as hollow
and low" and said that it was with
difficulty that he heard what the
President had to say, while others
said that, while not as robust as be-

was good and that the executive

You have broken both agreements
at any time that it suited your fancy

able, have nullifled decisions by the
board of. arbitration: some of your
business agents have been unfair. I'M
scrupulous and untrustworthy: you
have allowed and encouraged indi-

allowed and encouraged deliberate
restriction Of output by your members
amounting at times to as much as SO

have brought about stoprages and
have caused the manufacturers seri-
Gus pecuniary losses by your refusal
to finish out work. although the basic

ADVISE LOWER ASSESSMENTS
FOR RIVER BOTTOM LANE
State Tax Commission Has Matte r
Under Consideration. State
ment Given Out.

For number of weeks, the state tax
commission considered the request made
last year by number of land owners in
the lower river area for lower taxes
Regarding this matter the commission
has now issued the following statement:
1--WE fully realize that it is not an easy
task for the average assessor to fairly
value such property. If sales of such
land were more frequent they would
form basis for their valuation, but we
understand that they are not bought and
sold as freely as the uplands. The basis
Of valuation is the price for which the
property would sell at private sale. With
few sales to Use as a basis,i it becomes as
matter CT judgment on the part of the
assessors to determine the taxable value
of the land in question.
Carefully Determine.
''If the assessors would carefully de-
termine and classify each farm accrod.
ing to the quality of the land and Use to
which adapted, many Of the present
errors in valuation would be avoided
For instance if farm of 160 acres con-
tained seventy acres of first grade grain
land worth $120 an acre; forty acres OF
second grade land worth 800 an acre.,
forty acres subject to periodical overflow
worth $40 and ten acres of meadow land
worth $50 the total of these values being
$4,000, it's taxable value would be
ia ,633, or one-third of full value This
method makes an allowance of any
factor that affects the value of given
n mber of acres"
