JEWETT CITY

The board of town assessors for Gris- wold are now doing some of the most 1 important part of their regular fall bust
 ness. In the course of a year many properties change not only in the matter of ownership but in dimension and value.
 In the agricultural districts considerably outlying from the borough there ase
 many important changes in the stock kept on certain farms. These matters often necessitate visit to the property itself and are adjusted by the board of l assessors.
 During a visit to the boards offices 1 in the town building one will meet Irving O. Burdick. whose, If years of steady service on the board has made him an outstanding figure in his line. The con l siderably over two million dollars worth of taxable property in GrisWoId is as varied as it is valuable. and as in the l case of the Wilcox property is as scatter | ed as 1t is possible to conceive
 In acknowledging these conditions, the skill and Value of a, long term assessor becomes apparent. DC. J. B. Sweet was such a one ahd Mir. Burdick is another. ! It was said Monday that his extended l knowledge of values and locations as ap- piled to the taxable properties of Griswold has only been attained by a systematic and careful study of local real estate EarIy risers Saturday morning have i been talking ever since about the unusual beauty of the great c,oud expanse that appeared in the east 20 minutes before sunrise.

 people watched, deicately tinted in crtm- l son and gold by the rising sun.
