TAX COMMISSIONER SPEAKS
Mr. Blodsett Addresses Pomtret
 League of Women Voters

One of the most interesting lectures of the summer course whieh Is being presented under the auspices of the pomfret League of Women Voters was that which was given at Hibernian hall. Pomfret. on Tuesday evening, by State Tax Commissioner William II. Blodgett An audience of 90 or more members and friends of the league was in attendance.
 Taxation, as Mir Blodgett stated in the early part of his talk. was a dull subject at best to the untut0red. How ever. the Commissioner made a happy compromise with figures that other wise handles might have proved dull and boresome. His vivid description of the methods by which taxes are collected as we'll as distributed proved more than enlightening to his audi ence His further description of the methods which are being adopted for a gradual revision of certain methods of taxation which exist throughout the state was equally informing to his audience.

THIEF TAKES CASH
 FROM HIS POCKET
Napoleon kennett, Putnam, Is Victim of Dip at Revere
 Beach

Firm in his belief that sl50 in cash that he possessed on Saturday would be safer on his person than at home with no one in the house to guard it, Napoleon Kennett of 53 May stree, took the money with him Sunday when he and his family went to Revere Beach for a days outing.
 At the boat landing in Boston, Mir Kennett was rather roughly iOstled in the big crowd, but the thought nothing particular of the incident-until later he discovered that his cash had gone. Now he believes that during that jostling his pocket was picked. He did not discover his loss until he nr- rived at the beach and was buying his family some sweets at booth-and found he had no money with which to pay the clerk.
 Mir Kennett was not the only victim of the dips operating last Sunday, for woman reported the theft of Sl0O from her handbag
