Taxation, especially as related to as- sessment of real estate, is to be the sub ject of the April open meeting of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time the citizens will b3 given opportunity to register vote or .he question of setting the clo;ls ahead so as to secure the benefits which t IS argued daylight saving brings.
 Next Thursday night is the time that has been selected for the open forum, which will be held in the town hall State Tax Commissioner Blodgs5t is 10 be here to speak upon the subject of taxa ton in the bearing that t has sIate- wise, and it is expected that A. NJ. Simons, chairman of the 5oarl If as sessors of Hartford will be 2 speaker at the meeting to tell what has been accomplished there through a revalua- ton of the real estate If Hartford.
 Through some investigations that Sec retary J. J. O'Rourke of the Chamber of Commerce has already made he has learned something of what Earttord's experience was in the matter of, re- valuation of property for the tax list.
 According to what he has learned Hartford, before the re-valuation was taken up was in much the same position as Norwich now is. There had been TO revaluation of property that amounted to anything for thirty years The re- valuation was accomplished in ;wo years, 1919 and 1920. The first yea- only the apartment houses of Hartford were touched, yet by a revaluation of these the grand list was raised $17,O91.- 900 that year. The next year the re- valuation of all other property raised the grand list from S153,0oO,OOO to $25S.t n0.- O00 The work was all done iccally. Hartford has about 16,o0Q real estate taxpayers and approximately 50,000 as sessment lists, but there were only $50 appeals from the board of relief be-

cause of the re-valuation. Fourteen of these appeals were sustained, amounting to reductions of $145,eo0. The largest part of this reduction was represented by the S100.000 that was allowed in one case.
 One of the experiences of the city since the revalution of property for assess ment has been that last year, al- though the city budget was increased by nearly a million dollars. the tax rate dropped from 2S 3-4 mills to 20 1-2 mills
 On the matter of daylight saving, the Chamber of Commerce is now securing signatures from the industrial plants and the merchants to the following dec,ara- ton and pledge:
 Whereas the city of New York, the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Is- land. New Haven and Hartford rail- froad will go on daylight saving time on April 24th, and our committing and tran. sient population, our mails, our news papers, schools and banks will therefore be seriously inconvenienced, unless they conform to this schedule, it is hereby moved and seconded and voted that we the undersignc@ do pledge ourselves t move our clocks ahead one hour at F midnight, April 24th, 1921, until mid night of the last Suntlay--Sep:e ember 25th-of SeptemDer, I92l, TOT ourselves and our respective businesses, and we further invite the general public and She churches to advance their clocks to cor respond"
 Signatures are 1aiag secured very readily and those signing are doing SC with the understanding that the clocks ir the homes in the city will be put ahead 'an hour to correspond to the action of industries and merchants, for i; is real | ized that people are so welded to work ing by the clock time that changing the clock is the only way to carry ont day light saving plan.

advantage.
Rigid economies being adopted. Advertising
contracts have been Cancelled and the office force is
being reorganzed in the interest of efficiency The
new director says that he will make no promises until
the situation has been carefully studied.
In the meantime operation will be maintained
efficiently as possible. With the exception of the
wooden vessels, which have been tied up at Norfolk
for several months, of the vessels will be sold
until acceptable market is available. Just
there is market and the ships will be kept in opera
ton, while careful study is being made to put them
routes where the trade is profitable.
There are 287 wooden vessels which will be dis
posed Of July 3o provided favorable bids sub
mitted Several unsuccessful efforts made by the
former board market these craft The present board
believes that they be used to great advantage in
coastwise trade by some foreign government At any
rate they be disposed Of they cannot be used

the employers very similar to that which
they are now urged to accept.
In urging Parliament to grant a subsidy,
the prime minister explained that under the
agreement between owners and miners a
standard wage, which is 20 per cent above
the prewar rate, has been established below
which wages will not fall. Wages are to be
the first charge on the industry. The pro-
ceeds of the industry which remain after
wages and other costs have been paid are
to be shared by workmen and employers on
the basis of fI7 to the owner for every fIoo
paid in standard wages. If there are further
profits. fS3 in every fIoo is to go to the
workmen and fly to the owner. The present
agreement covers period to September 80,
1922, and either side must give a three
months notice of desire to end the agree
ment During negotiations the new wage
scale will prevail. In order to administer the
system of profit sharing established by the
new. agreement, national and district boards
on which owners and miners are equally rep
resented will be established. Mr.. Lloyd
George argued that the subsidy would be
necessary, as without it the operators would
be unable to resume operations in all the
mines. ..'s''-

those to-, whom the letter was addressed and ask
them to attend preliminary conference with him in
Dublin on Monday. Sir James Craig accepted the
invitation of the British ito attend the
his cabinet who would accompany him. He has de
clined. however, to meet Mr.. De Valera in preim-
mary conference: Replying to Sir James Craig the
republican leader intimated that there implics-
tions in Mr.. Lloyd Georges invitation which would
make it impossible of acceptance.
The sanguine expectations which held very
generally throughout England that the prime minis
ter's invitation had at last opened the way to ann
icable settlement and would thus bring to an end the
present struggle without recourse to the extensive
application of military force in the south of Ireland
have been considerably disappointed in the first place
by the telegram of the Sim Fein leader which inn
piled conditions for his acceptance Of the invitation
which would be acceptable to neither the British
the Ulster governments, and in the second place by
the refusal Of the User premier attend the confer
ence in Dublin. IL
Furthermore, it is feared that even should De
Valera desire to adopt an attitude of Cancellation and
were willing to make concessions. he would be power
loss to do so because the real power behind the Irish
revot is in the hands of extremists who would insist
that there be no PARTITION Of Ireland and that abso
ute separation from the British Empire be the first
condition OF peace The contention Of the Sim Fein
leader that he should act in the proposed conference
at London as the spokesman for ireland would nat
uraly not be acceptable to the head of the Ulster
government and was clearly not contemplated by Mr.
