Town of Orange H a d
Jumped Appraisal from
$5, $50 to $45, $50

By an opinion reached by the Yer
mont supreme court, the city of Barre
wins it's case with the town Of Orange,
in which Orange sued to recover taxes
on the city water system appraisal
raised in the 1918 quadrennial ap-
praisal from $3.50 to 45,l50. Further
than that, the court opinion holds that
the city is taxable only on the Robin
son farm, 500 He'd, according to the
copy of the order, which has been re-
ceived by attorneys in the case. The
appraisal on this farm was put in at
800.
The opinion of the court reyerses the
decision Of Orange county court by
which the town of Orange won a judg-
ment of Sl,5ll62 for one years taxes

Lloyd George and De Vale
re Separate Without Find
ing Common Ground
BRITISH PREMIER
PRESENTED PLAN
Whether De Valera Flatly
Rejected 1t Is Not
Known

London, July 2l tBy the Associated
Press) The conversations betweer
Lloyd George and Eamonn De Valera
from which it was hoped a basis fol
an Irish peace conference might
emerge, have terminated for the pres
ent without that object having beer
attained.
At the final meeting of the British
prime minister and the Irish repub'
lican leader to-day. Lloyd George
submitted definite proposals which
were represented as the considered
Judgment of himself and his cabinet
as constituting suitable ground for a
full-aedged peace psrley, based upon
his interviews OF the past week with
De Valera and Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier.
The Iproposals, it is learned author
itatively, comprised less than ten ar
ticles.
Whether they met with a fiat re-
lection by the Irish republican lead
er or were taken by him without COM
ment for review by himself and his
colleagues in Dublin, in the hope they
might contain the nucleus for nego-
tiations, was concealed by the cryptic
joint communique issued after the
meeting, This read:
"Mr Lloyd George and Mr.. De Val
era had further conversation at 80
o',Ia.l- ,b;- ,,,arn;,c, Iaatipu q aho,tf "a,
hour. The basis for a further CON
ference has not vet been found. Mr..
De Valera has arranged 10 return to
Ireland tomorrow and 20 cemmuni
cate with Mr. Lloyd George again
after further discussion with his COL
leagues"
II required considerable time for the
conferees TO draw up the communique
issued by agreement after the meet
ing and this caused comment, being
interpreted as indicating anxiety byI
both sides TO avoid breach in the
peace attempt or to conceal the fact
II an impasse had already occurred.
After the Downing street interview
between Lloyd Georc~ and De Valera,
,nlv few minutes were required to
lraft these announcements.
De Valera and his colleagues, after
heir return 10 Irish headquarters, ex
pressed anxiety for the attainment of
1eace. despite what is at least the tenn |
,orary impasse reached They indi
'sted that a similar anxiety had been
manifested by Lloyd George. one of
he Irish delegation declaring:
"In drafting the announcement both |
ound difficulty in avoiding statements
which would create an immediate
eror in the other camp. As for us,
We have never been overly optimistic
egarding the prospects of the pres
ut conversations. Now that they have
nded for the present. at least we are
eally a bit surprised that they con
inued so long and so amicably.
I'VE are genuinely desirous Of peace
nd have not yet despaired, but the
fIiculties are such that progress Is
ecessarily slow | personally believe
hat definite progress has been made
This spokesman for the Irish dele
alton aid the Irish republican par
ament would probably be convened
hortly after the return of De Valera
or the receipt of his report. The dele
alton has received no word, il was
alton said the Irish republican par
ament now in prison will be re-
,ased so as to enable them to at
end.
