NUMEROUS CHANGES :.

New England Insurance
Exchange Tells What
Is Needed

Sweeping changes in the local fire de-
partment are advocated in the report
received yesterday by the village com
missioners from John S. Caldwell. engi-
neer for the New England Insurance
Exchange of Boston. following an in
spection OF fire apparatus aud the inTes-
tigation OF conditions here made last
October by W. II Merchant, jr, an in
apector for the Insurance Exchange, at
the request of the village commissioners.
In a meeting of the commissioners
last evening, when the fun board was
present, the report was considered, but
no action was taken upon any of its
recommendations Some of the sugges-
tions the commissioners already had in
mind, in fact a site already has been
bought for a new headquarters building.
and along with that some other needed
improvements will be made. But to
carry out all the suggestions made would
cost well toward S150,000, in the esti-
nation of the commissioners. However,
the report is not made in the form of q
demand, but merely as a survey Of the
situation in response to q request, and
il contains no reference TO insurance
rates.
Prominent among the recommenda-

GRAND DUCHY GIVEN
AMMUNITION FOR TWINS

PARIS, Dee. IL (Associated
Press).-The grand duchy of Lux
emburg has not a single piece of ar
tillery to support its army of $50
men, says a despatch TO the Matin.
No gun was available even for the
firing of a salute in honor of the
expected aecouehement of Grand
Duchess Charlotte, the ruler. A court
emissary. therefore, called on the mil
itary governor and asked him to
borrow one cannon so that the army
might fire a royal salute with the
advent of new prince or princess.
The request was approved and a
French "75" gun of an officer and
gun crew was dispatched.
With the gun came double the re-
quired amount of ammunition, in
case there should be twins.

Judge Sherman r. AIoulton, who has
been presiding at the Woodhouse alien
alton suit in Burlington, was bit an
gered by the demonstration following the
ending of an attorneys argument to the
jury and expressed his opinion of those
who indulged in the unseemly event in
blunt and precise terms.

an exhibition declared the judge. and

clear the court room and drive every
spectator into the streets.
1t was a disgraceful affair and the
Judge would have been we'll justified in
holding those who confused court room
with theater for contempt of court. In
asmuch as attending the trial has be-

to surmise that some of the leading"
citizens and "citizenesses" of the fair
city of Burlington INDUCED themselves
in the demonstration.

REALTY COMPANY
WINS FROM TOWN
United States supreme Court Decides
Tax Case Against Town of
BrattleborO.

WASHINGTON. Dec 12.-pulp wood
in actual transit between iorest and mills
is not subject to taxation by munidi-
pality where ii is stopped before enter
ing Interstate commerce. the supreme
courC held yesterday in a case brought
by the Champiain Realty Co. against the
town Of Brattleboro. VI
This case was argued in Washington
Nov. - by NJ i. Maurice Of BrattlebOro
and Mr. Cannon Of New York, represent
ing the Champlain Realty Co. and y
Il. Carpenter and T.. W. Gibson of Brat
tleboro, representing this town, and Mt
that time the impression was given that
an early decision would be made. The
effect Of the decision is a reversal of the
decision of the Vermont supreme court
and is against the town of BrattIeboro.
which taxed the Realty C5.'s pulpwood in
West river.
In this case the plaintiff seeks to re-
cover a tax Of about $500 paid under pro-
test in 1919, which was assessed on the
companys pulp wood held by boom at the
mouth of West River and destined for the
cOmpany's roSsing mill on the Connecticut
river in Hinsdale, y. III. The question
of whether the property was taxable here
or was in interstate transit and therefore
not taxable in Brattleboro Is the question
at issue.
In Windham county court Judge Zed
s. stanton found in favor of the Realty
Co. but the state supreme court re-
vcrsed the decision of the county court
and rendered judgment for the town. The
Realty Co. took the case on petition for
a writ of certiorpri. which was granted
ut the October term. 1921
Cases against the town and school dis
trict 10 recover taxes paid them by the
company the same year were continued
by agreement, pending the final deter
mination of the suit against the town.
Taxes were assessed against the
Realty Co in 1913. but have not been
paid. and are not collectable. so far as
can be Judged from the above statement
Of the final court decision.
